If life is like a box of chocolates...reach for the hope filled kind!
(and have a little chocolate for your soul)
Is There Meaning
​
Does life have meaning on an ordinary day
When skies are blue with a hint of gray
When slow and steady is the climb
And days pass by one a time
Does life have meaning at the top of a hill
When the best of dreams have been fulfilled
And the future looks brighter than ever before
But deep inside you long for more
Does life have meaning when you meet with grief
When you look around in disbelief
And storm clouds hover over you
And you wonder how you will make it through
Is there meaning in, the “in’s” and “out’s”
The hopes and dreams, the fears and doubts
The wrestlings of peace and strife
That mixed together make up life
Is there One, who holds the key
That takes away the mystery
That we might know, as never before
All we were created for
Is there a hope, that remains
Days of sunshine, days of raIn
Is there purpose, that will stand
Through all we have and have not planned
There is a purpose and a plan
For each of God’s created man
Made for His praise and His fellowship sweet
Life with God, is life complete
Hope is ours, though born into sin
Of sharing this fellowship with Him
Not because of what we have done
But because of Jesus Christ, God’s Son
​
The price for sin is sacrifice
God sent His Son to pay the price
His blood can save us from the sin
That keeps us from joy found in Him
​
Thus Christ adds meaning in countless ways
To our great and our ordinary days
Gives purpose to our days most bright
Grants hope when life seems all but right
Our days on earth so soon are past
But all we find in Christ will last
God’s purposes forever stand
He was and is The Great I Am
D not live life aimlessly
Christ offers life abundantly
So lay your life down at His feet
And find in Him, a life complete
