TAKE A CHANCE it started in a small town, community filled with everyone else, never seemed to have a place, always ashamed to show my face, I lacked the confidence, the confidence to stand up for myself, add to that a father disappointed that i was never man enough. I didn't know who I was, I didn't know where I'd go, I had no direction, I had no reason to go on Its amazing how one small thing, can mean so much to someone, an insignificant piece of wood with six strings meant everything, it gave me life, it gave me something to mold and sculpt me, sculpt me into the person, the person that I am today It was then I knew who I was, it was then I knew where I'd go I had my direction, I had a reason to go on, It was then I knew who I was, it was then I knew where I'd go I had my direction, I had a reason to live again I didn't need to fit in anymore, ready to show the world who I really was, God gave me a reason to be me, I was ready, confident, I was ready to show the world what I believed in there's so much more to life than making others happy, I have so much more to give now with God standing beside me, I would not be here today had I never decided to take that chance, now I’m glad for every day I have... WHATS THAT What’s that? what'd you say, your too punk to think that way, you live in the here and now and that’s so far away, I don’t think you understand the importance of the choice, if you don’t decide right now you may never hear His voice don’t waste your life putting off what you know is right, just make a choice, put down your guard, raise up your voice, What’s that? what'd you say, it's all a big joke anyway, not hardly not at all there's nothing more matter of fact, just think about what you’re saying, think of the consequence, take some time to think about it, take some time and give it a chance Copyright 2012 Seth Stephan.

THE WORST I am the worst, I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t deserve a single thing I have... every day I struggle with temptations placed in front of me, and every time I fail I feel the world is closing in on me, but deep down inside, I know there's nothing I can do, nothing I can do to make him turn his back on me I am the worst, I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t deserve a single thing I have, only Gods love and his mercy set me free, I don’t have to suffer because he died for me The reason that he came into this world was to use me as a prime example, an example of his patience mercy and his love 1TI 1:15‐16 PAULIE This is a story about a boy I know, dates back a very long time ago, they called him punk rock Paulie, yeah that was his name, he played lead guitar in a band called the framed, steel toe boots and his hawk real high, this kid had something that would make girls sigh, Paulie didn’t know what would happen that night, he didn’t know what would happen that night What are you doing with your life, stand with us now join the fight, don’t care what others think of you, 'cause there not the ones that died for you On his way home late one night, the party was crazy and the kids were all right, feelin like a god on top of his game, he lost control of his car and he went down in flames, Paulie wasn’t saved and he didn’t know Christ, he refused to hear the words of his sacrifice, now it’s an eternity for Paulie in hell, serving himself, served him well.

SIKE Near closing time at the foothills mall, didn’t wanna be there at all, stick with me Cameron said as we entered to store, that when I saw her for the first time and my jaw hit the floor Makin fun of my chucks cause they had ripped in two, and approving of my op ivy t shirt, I asked her for her number shaking in my boots, 208‐252‐2655 We ate ice cream in the park, and went for long walks in the dark, she was 21 I was 19, but we had so much in common it was just like a dream But the one day I got up the nerve to tell her how I how I really felt inside, I tried to explain the attraction I had for her ever since we laid eyes, trying not to be a nervous wreck this girl had my heart by the neck she answered me so sweetly by saying we could only be friends!
