I was meant for heaven
Jesus created me
All this stuff on earth
Has made life real rough

I was meant for heaven
The Lord called my name
It seems that I’m too busy
Another time my refrain

I was meant for heaven
The world pounds away
When will I wake up and see
The world has nothing for me

I was meant for heaven
Joy is my claim
Ask the Lord’s forgiveness
Cry out His name

I was meant for heaven
Streets of gold for me
This world holds me hostage
Jesus sets me free

I was meant for heaven
Lord I hear you speak
Guide me through this maze of life
Until my soul breaks free

I was meant for heaven
My home is already made
This world just a breath of fate
Jesus values me

Clay Corvin 8/6/05

Worry, dread and suspicion
I feel I’m on my own
Jesus knows my troubles
He created me for God

All around are tigers
Seeking to devour
I am just an infant
The spiritual world’s afire

Christ makes me a priority
Calling out my name
He has come a looking
The Father has proclaimed

Proclaimed that I am worthy
Jesus paid for me
His death on lonely Calvary
Provided life for me

He saw me in my struggle
Across 2,000 years
Jesus knows my painful need
The solution is in Him

Looking up to Jesus
I listen as He speaks
I am in a pickle
I’m living in defeat

Victory is mine
I have asked Christ in
His life is what I needed
His word makes me grow wise

Hurry up and listen
The choice belongs to you
Ask my Lord and Savior
To give freedom to you
Clay Corvin 8/6/05

Every day Christ waits
He listens as we rise
His offer is to guide our life
Our choice is time with Him

Time, time runs away
Stealing life from us
We go blithely along life’s path
Thinking we control the day

Time with Christ
Redeems our day
Guiding us through the maze
Conquering the day

We can choose
The Word of life
And let Him rule our way
Victorious every day

Or we can choose
To be confused
Surprised by every twist
Life is never bliss

Choices make disciples
Time is what we need
Time to serve and time to grow
Jesus will lead each day

Value is our watchword
The Lord loves us so
Listen as He calls
Jesus will teach us what we need to know
Clay Corvin 8/6/05

I swore to change
I failed to do
The simple things
I promised You

Feeling pangs of guilt
Forgive me
Deliver me
Jesus did

Remind my heart
You never change
You know my ways
You call my name

God is good
He gives me strength
Power to live
With weakness and pain

Failure tracks
Winning flees
Jesus is here
He brings life to me

Ordinary soul
Nameless days
Extraordinary Savior
Jesus lives in me

Only you
Can ever change your life
Only you
Can hear the Lord’s advice
Only you
Can be renewed
No one can do it for you
You are the one to choose

Only you
Can live a holy life
Only you
Can spend time with Christ
Only you
Can be the Father’s son
You walk in your shoes
Living the life you choose

Only you
Can bend your knee
Only you
Can be set free
Only you
Can heed God’s Word
It changes you
You become like Christ

Only you
Receive God’s love
Only you
Can see His home
Only you
Can suffer for Him
The victory is won
You behave like the SON

They say
Is the word today
They say I can’t lose
That things will be the same

Truth says truth will win
Things will end
Life has rules
We must choose

They say
I can do what I want
Be what I decide
No limit on my desires

Truth says wrong
Destroy your soul
Reap death’s hold
Hope will leave

They say
Have it all
Do what you must
People don’t count

Truth says
God loves people most of all
He loves you
Come back home

Don’t listen to gossip
Don’t listen to lies
Within your soul
Truth continues to cry

Stand up and take control
Give Jesus your soul
Let Christ have your heart
Jesus will not depart

Life will change its shape
Destruction will stay away
Hope will fill your heart
Jesus will live in you
CC 7/16/05

We knew Him
When He stood there
He showed Himself
To each one of us

We struggled in our heartache
Tomorrow’s another day
Wanting to be emperors
We failed to see our way

A world without limits
We saw ourselves as king
Making our decisions
As though they rang with truth

Little lives of failure
Desperation always rules
I want, I want is all we say
Death maintains its hold

No excuse not to know Him
No excuse can solve my pain
No excuse before the master
He doesn’t even know my name

It’s painful to know this
It’s painful to share this truth
Each of us called to choose
Without Jesus we are dead and lose

POVERTY
The poor plead for mercy; the rich answer with insults.
Proverbs 18:23
I am not rich in worldly goods. I am rich in Christ. It is important for me to remember that the majority of people that I deal with daily do not know Jesus. People need Jesus. I am called by the Word of God to participate with the Lord in promoting the Gospel message. This requires me to listen to what the world is saying and doing and respond in such a way that the Gospel message will get through to them. The early church was not wealthy. Paul said that they were known for their love of the brethren.

POVERTY
All around are shakes and fries
Instant everything
In a world that is passing away
Life is not very long

People crying for help
Drugs and evil rule
I must hear their plea
Life is more than this

Jesus brings life and light
To hardened, hurting souls
I am called to share
God’s love with those in the cold

The world is a lonely place
Love does not abound
In Christ we share the love He gives
With every one we meet

I am not to judge
I often can’t debate
The world cannot mimic
The love of Christ in the face of hate

Go and tell
Care for the lost
Jesus is seeking through me
And He has paid the cost

Comfort as I walk through the valley
Every day like the past
The lessons learned increasing
My ability to accomplish God’s plan

Peace as I walk through the valley
Thinking about the mountain top
Few things grow where I long to go
Growth is valley stuff

The Lord is my shepherd
He guides my steps
As I walk along His path
His Word heals my heart

Joy in knowing
He is in my heart
Giving me what I need
Not just the things that please

Then the day
Someone comes my way
Lessons I’ve learned I recount
A comfort to them on Christ’s way

As I walk valley paths
Sharing my heart
Encouraging another along
Jesus makes me strong

CC 7/10/05

He knows me
To the depths of my soul
Every act of evil
Grates against His hold

Yet He never leaves me
His love is deep and wide
The depths of my depravity
Defines the miracle of love

How much does He love me?
Enough to live in me
Enough to carry burdens
That I don’t even see

How much does He love me?
More than a heart can say
His love is always searching
To help me find my way

Jesus loves this sinner
He knows what I have done
Reaching through my blackened heart
He gives me all of His love

Never more to wander
No more despair
God loves me so much
He will not leave me here
