The Joy I Have in Life By Franklin Price 12/31/2023 Thank you God for giving me the joy I have in life You sent your only Son to save me, and you sent my loving wife You brought me friends and family, that know what love's about You've always paved the way for me, even when I've had some doubt When my mind begins to wander and I think, oh woe is me You bring another in my life, and give more joy for me to see You have shown the joy's in giving, and in giving we receive You have shown me life's true meaning, if I only just believe I'm at a crossroads in my life, and though I'm living all alone I know I'm never by myself, and my life alone has grown I have found a place to worship you, and the goodness of your way You always are within me and I know you're here to stay Although You're always with me, and with me always will abide I would be grateful to You, to have someone by my side To share this life together, that you've provided, oh so well I would prefer that they've had love as I, and not from a living hell You have provided for me, as I have moved along the way Shown me that being selfish, in the long run doesn't pay The wife I had for many years, always took away my tears She was always with me, in my aspirations and my fears. In your wisdom, when you took her, and she went to heaven's door I knew you had more plans for me, much more, for me, in store My daughter has found love in life, grandchildren much the same They both have started families, and are succeeding in life's game The years are moving on quite fast, don't know when this life will end Would love to find another, on whom each other could depend If you've had love as I have had, and now you think it's time to vote And think that we may get along, pick up the phone, or send a note I'm not looking for just anyone to lie beside me in the bed I want to share my life with you, want to be within your head Want to share my friends and family, and to give more than I get If you think the same as me, we may get together yet If that is not to happen, don't be discouraged in your plight Don't close your eyes to someone, who could be your mister right Raise your head out of the sand, and face another coming day You don't have to live your life alone, there could just be another way
