Isn't it great, to be alive, and have a friend,
Someone special and on them you can depend;
I have that special some one, cares about me,
It's my Jesus, My Lord and Master, He'll love you too, you'll see.

That bite, from a white tailed spider, it sure hurt,
That rotten spider bite, the blister so absurd;
The sting, the throb, the burning as well,
That spider's poison made me crook for a spell.

I enjoyed life as a child, even though walking was a problem for me,
To play with board games, watch old movies, play hide and go see;
I remember mum would make picnic under the table each holiday,
Yeah! Those good old days were so great, that's what I say.

It sure is a long way down off the bed, when you slip in an awkward way,
Then realize when think and can't walk, your chair is on the other side;

So what's wrong with my heart, I said to the doctor one day,
I've got so much pain every where in my chest, is what I did say;
Then came a shock. I couldn't believe what I just did hear,
My heart was bad and nothing could help, death was so near.

Let's get on a train today, to travel to the seaside,
I'd like to get there quickly, before the rise of the tide;
Now if I go by car, it takes time to find somewhere to park,
So! Travel by tram to port Melbourne, but I won't catch a shark.
...

So much love, a man gives to His wife,
When he agrees to love her for the rest of his life;
He gives sweet gifts, on each special day,
Showing he'd give everything so love can stay.

What is Easter all about, you may want to ask me,
So I thought about it, and here it is, Jesus died at Calvary;
Jesus died in our place, so that we could be free,
All we need to do is ask forgiveness, and we'll live eternally.

Is there no hope? For me, said the lady in debt,
Talking to a counsellor, whom she had just met;
I can't help myself, I love to buy everything I see,
I just don't know how to cope, so can you help me?
