My Heart Attack Walking down through the valley of death Bony fingers of the grim reaper I did see Deep throbs of pain I felt inside my chest Wondering if this was to be the end for me First I was taken to Scioto Memorial Hospital I was told this kind of an operation we can't do Then I was taken to Kings Daughters Hospital  By one of Life ambulances and its fine crew Dr Mores and his well-trained surgerical team Opened my chest to see what they could do They found four blocked arteries the problem Caused from a high cholesterol mess of goo It is to this surgical team I thank so very much But I also must thank my Lord and Master too If not for Him guiding Dr Mores skillful hands My life on this Earth would have been through Acie Workman Eden Park   His Plan For Me I was on my way up to Heaven When He sent me back down Saying my child you must wait Before you can gain your crown I have a plan for you on Earth What it is you must wait to see You will find it brings happiness Not only to you but also to Me But go now and do My bidding Believe what I tell you this day Let this spirit fill up your heart Listen to the words I have to say Bring good to those you meet Tell them what I have said to you Let them know all about My place Far up where it is Heavenly Blue Acie Workman   I Give Thanks To Him I look out and see a clear Blue sky Without His help this would not be He kept me from the sting of death My Savior, I know does so love me As He walks by my side I see Him He always tells me right from wrong His word brings to me great comfort In a voice that is gentle but strong Though I never ask about tomorrow Those decisions shall be His alone For I know to question Him about it Is the one thing He will not condone Forever to follow my Lord and Savior This heart now can see no other way Precious is the life He has given me I want to join Him in Heaven one day Acie Workman   Feel The Love Dream not with those foolish thoughts Bring your ideas of goodness this day Know that your rewards will be plenty If you walk a straight and narrow way Help all friends in both work and spirit Sharing ideas brings strength to mind You will find that peace is everlasting When to all of the people you are kind Feel the love from those around you Returning that feeling ten times more Satisfaction will bring you happiness Knowing what you will have in store This life can bring to you so much joy Let not the devil enter into your heart There will be a beautiful place waiting When from a life on Earth you depart Acie Workman Eden Park
