God loves you just the way you are,
And so do I, so there!
He looks at the heart and reads the mind,
He is always so merciful and kind.
He is waiting for you to return His love,
To seek His will and strength from above.
Now as we play our little game,
Let us rejoice and glorify His name!

The little game is Scrabble.
Dear genteel lady, in East Rochester,
Quietly being yourself in your rocking chair.
We came to tell you that we love you very much,
And to admire your weaving of placemats and such.
You can be a whiz at Aggravation!
But we can have fun without irritation.
On this Valentines' Day as we're talking of love,
We came to share our thoughts from above.
God, Who so loved us in sending His Son,
Wants to rejoice and know our hearts are united as one.

Oh the joyful anticipation
Of the voice I long to hear.
It will be this proclamation,
Dear child "Come up here".
This will be my graduation,
There'll be no thought of fear.
This will be my emancipation,
From earthly trials and tears.
How wonderful it will be,
To look on His face.
To see the One
Who saved my by His grace.
But should this celestial summons,
Comes early or late.
I am willing to "occupy"
And by His grace patiently wait.
There are many others,
Who need to know
This blessed Savior,
Who loves them so.
So while I wait,
I'll watch and pray.
Be salt and light,
To show others the way.
Forgetting the past,
I press toward the goal
To receive the prize
The high-calling of my soul.
To be in Heaven,
To sit at His feet,
To see all my loved ones,
And joyously greet.

Dear Father, we praise You for sending Your Son,
We thank Thee for the Holy One.
Who was willing to die to take away our sins,
We thank Thee for the Holy Spirit Who dwells within.
To our Triune God we offer our praise,
Our hearts and voices to Thee we raise.
Thy mercy and love has won our hearts,
We would cling to Thee never to part.
May we glorify Thy name and earth and in Heaven,
For by Thy grace we are chosen, redeemed, forgiven.

Thou art worthy to receive adoration,
Thy love and grace has brought salvation.
We are redeemed by Thy precious blood,
Our wonderful Savior, so kind and so good.
We offer to You our sacrifice of praise,
Our hearts, hands, and voices to You we raise.
To Thee our great God and glorious King,
For Thee our joyful hallelujahs ring!

Referenced to Psalm 86:12
Her's Doctor Jim,
let me tell you of him.
He's meticulous and kind,
a dentist hard to find.
His painstaking in all his undertakings.
Everything must be just right,
that you can't fight.
What more can I say?
Try him and see!
