Words Of Life
By Curtis Johnson, Sr.

These powerful words from heaven above,                                             sounding so strong and so bold
These eternal words from God almighty,                                                   hidden so deep within my soul
These living words that prophets                                                               long ago recorded on a scroll

These words shall be remembered                                                                   in the distant future, I have been told
These words, energized by God alone                                                           will keep you from growing cold
These words shall still be in my heart,                                                         and on my lips as I grow old

These words shall be ever alive and strong,                                                   causing me never to fold
These words will be uppermost in my mind,                                             causing me to reach my goal
These words alone shall enable me                                                               to have my name written on heaven’s roll
