JEHOVAH
JEHOVAH - I AM
The eternal God all
The life giver to all
For all time He has existed
From Him flows all life
He is in total control
He is the Holy, Holy Lord
Who calls us to be like Him
For in His image we are made
JEHOVAH - I AM
Fall down and worship Him
The giver and creator of all
JEHOVAH - ROHI
God guides me daily
He protects my every move
He feeds me
With His eternal words
His arms are wrapped around me
In them I am safe
From every danger and snare
That tries to snatch me away
His voice calls me
I know its tenderness
For not other voice I hear
Expresses love like His
He is JEHOVAH - ROHI
The shepherd of my life
Let me walk daily
With God who died for me
JEHOVAH - SHAMMAH

Jesus, the Son of God
Provided our way back to God
For His death and resurrection
Restored us unto God's righteousness
Live that in a relationship
With God who is always present
Who desires to be among His people
JEHOVAH - SHANNAH is He
Eight Reasons Jesus Came to Earth
Based on Preaching at Grace Chapel in Lancaster, California
Example
Christ
is my example
Of
how to live and serve
From
Heaven He came
To
save man from sin
He
showed by example
How
to minister to mankind
How
to do good to others
Both
physically, mentally, and spiritually
He
lead by example
Not
telling but showing
He
lived His life in this world
Totally
sinless
He
died for all mankind
As
a ransom for our souls
He
laid down His life freely
To
fulfill God's demands
Let
us live by His example
Showing
others His love
As
we choose to be servants
Of
the Kingdom of God
Seek and Save
True
royalty chose to come
To
earth from Heaven above
Setting
aside His true nature
To
take on human form
He
came with the intent
To
search for and save
Those
who are lost
Separated
from God eternally
He
came of His own accord
Willingly
fulfilling God's plan
To
provide to man eternal life
By
paying the debt owed God
Turn
then, see, and believe
That
God loves us so much
He
sent Jesus His only Son
To
seek and save the lost
Healing
Every
man is spiritually ill
In
need of healing are we
The
Great Physician came to earth
To
call us to repentance through Him
For
all men are sinners
Unable
to come to God
For
God can only look upon those
Who
have been healed through His Son
Christ
came to die for us
So
man can be made right before God
Listen
to His voice bidding you
To
repentance and salvation
Through
Christ, the Great Physician
Man
not need suffer for their sins
Belief
in Christ as the Savior
Is
the Greatest Healing of all time
Blessed
Blessed
am I by Christ
To
earth He came to save
All
those who believe in Him
Have
life abundantly
He
did not come and die
To
burden us with death
He
came to light up our lives
With
His peace and joy
Follow
Him and receive
Every
blessing He bestows
To
those who look upon Him
As
their Eternal Lord
Light of the World
Jesus
came to earth
As
the Light of the World
The
absolute spiritual truth
And
the presence of God on earth
His
truth illuminates our souls
To
be in God's presence
To
know His true knowledge
To
see our own depravity
God
in His love for us
Lights
our path back to Himself
As
we believe in His Son
Our
ignorance of God is removed
As
believers we shouldn't tarry
In
the shadows of spiritual darkness
Step
into the Light of Christ
Reflect
His light to all mankind
God's Witness
Down
to earth came Jesus
As
a witness to the truth
The
spiritual truth
Only
known in Heaven above
Jesus
left His throne above
To
become the Son of Man
Only
He could testify
To
the divine truth of God
Now
all mankind can know
What
this truth is
For
when we listen to Jesus
The
truth we hear
Jesus
revealed God's truth
He
also testified to God's grace
That
all who believe in the Son of Man
Knows
His truth, love, mercy, and grace
Radical Obedience
Jesus
came to the earth
To
be an atonement for our sins
His
Father's will He carried out
Because
He loved Him
With
delight and diligence
He
was faithful to God's will
He
accepted God's choices
And
was obedient to them
No
compulsion was needed
To
bring Jesus from Heaven to Earth
He
willingly came to do God's pleasure
Finding
energy in God's love
Love,
pure love, for His Father
Brought
forth His radical obedience
Through
obedience to God's commands
God's
love now flows to all men
Display
Jesus
came to this earth
In
obedience to His Father
Everywhere
and to everyone
He
displayed His Father's Glory
In
His life He lived perfectly
As
a model for us
In
all things He was patient
Calling
people to believe in Him
All
honor, glory and praise
Belong
to our God
For
He alone chose to give
Eternal
life to man
Jesus
displayed God's mercy,
His
grace and great love
For
the Glory of God is shown
To
all who believe in His Son
Rejoice
How Heaven Must have exploded
The morning Christ arose
How the angles must have rejoiced
As Jesus rose in triumph
For only three days before
He had died for all mankind
Satan thought he had won
But that day our life began
For Christ died to save us
He rose to ensure us life
Earth did not understand
And was quite as Heaven rejoiced
Let all believers sing out
Honor and praises to God
For He gave up His precious Son
For the love of mankind
The Suffering Lord
O, how Jesus suffered
In the Garden and on the cross
He did this for me and you
As God willed redemption for us
While we were still in depravity
God planned for our future
He sent His own and only Son
As sacrifice for all
Jesus went willingly to the cross
Enduring torture for you and I
Only the death of a lamb without blemish
Would satisfy the wrath and anger of God
Take not His sacrifice lightly
For we have not suffered like Him
All that is required of us is
Childlike belief in Jesus as our Savior
The Agony of God
God was in agony
On Crucifixon night
For He had to turn
His back on His only Son
For without the perfect sacrifice
Planned by God Himself
Mankind would continue to perish
And be separated from God forever
So God gave up His Son
To save us from death
He did this to show us
His great love for all
How He must have rejoiced
When he heard "It is finished"
Then and only then
Could His son be reunited unto Him
Restoration
In the Garden of Gethsemane
Dark was my Savior’s soul
He knelt before His Father above
Willing to fulfill God’s plan
For in the Darkness of that night
Satan came to torment Him
Tempting Jesus to the horror
Of dying upon the cross
Yet Jesus denied Himself that night
Choosing God’s will instead
He willingly chose to die for man
Carrying out God’s redemptive plan
All man’s sins covered Him
God turned His back on His Son
Jesus died in sorrow and pain
As the Sacrificial Lamb
He fulfilled God’s requirements
Restoring us to God
He rose triumph over death
Victory belongs to Him
Palm Sunday
One
early morning long ago
In
the streets a commotion was heard
On
a donkey there came into town
A
Carpenter from Galilee
The
crowd was cheering and waving palms
Hosannas
rang all about
Garments
were strewn under the feet
Of
the royal Son of God
A
prophet of old had foretold
Of
the arrival of a King
The
Messiah Savior they awaited
Had
come to save them
Hosanna
they sang to this carpenter
Hosanna
to the Son of God
His
glory was reveal to the world that day
The
glory of Christ our King
Passion Week
Jesus
did teach many things
That
last week of His life
Miracles
He also did
To
glorify His Father above
Each
lesson taught and miracle done
Pointed
to His Holy Father
He
was preparing those He loved
To
carry on His ministry
He
spoke of loving God His Father
With
passion for no one else
To
teach and show to all the worldHow to love as God loves us
Each
word said and action done
Would
guide them as they lived
For
Christ prepared them to carry on
His
kingdom here on earth
Passover
In
preparation of Passover
A
feast the disciples prepared
Gathered
they in an upper room
To
remember God's love for them
Little
did they realized
As
they gathered there
That
Jesus was preparing them
For
the future not the past
He
shared with them
Tho
they did not understand
That
this was the beginning
Of
God's new covenant of love
He
showed them how to remember
His
sacrifice that was to come
His
body broken, His blood shed
That
forever covers us with God's love
Gethsemane
Gethsemane
brought to our Lord
Unbearable
anguish and despair
For
there He prayed to His Father above
For
God's will to be done
His
disciples slept as He wept
Tears
of anguish and blood
Their
humanness over came them
As
they kept watch with Him
Three
times He asked them
To
watch and pray
To
uphold Him in prayer
As
He wept before God
Knowing
there was no way out
He
rose to meet His betrayer
He
accepted God's plan for His life
To
His death He willingly went
Before Pilate
To
the courts Jesus did go
Surrounded
by Roman soldiers
The
Jewish leaders were elated
Finally
they were winning
Pilate
found no fault in Him
Jesus
had broken no laws
But
in fear he absconded
To
the pressure of the crowd
Those
who had cheered Him days before
Now
jeered Him in disgust
A
crown of thorns and a purple robe
Were
all they dressed Him in
Spitting,
mocking, ridiculing and disablement
He
silently endured
Little
did the soldiers realize
They
jeered the Son of God
Crucify Him
On
the winds one could hear
The
cheering of the crowd
As
the soldiers pounded the nails
Into
the Son of God
As
the cross stood upon the hill
The
Jewish leaders applauded
Their
plans had come to fruition
The
blasphemer was to die
Jesus
took upon Himself
The
sins of all mankind
For
Him there was no escape
As
God turned His back on sin
His
broken bones and pierced body
Brought
sorrow to all who believed
Now
their beloved Savior
No
longer was with them
The Tomb
The
broken body of their Lord
They
wrapped in clean while cloths
They
than placed Him in a brand new tomb
Sealed
with a boulder by man's hands
For
three long days He laid
Inside
the burial tomb
But
what man had planned
Was
no match for God
For
God could now look upon His Son
With
the greatest of love
For
His Son had been sacrificed
So
man could be righteous with God
Out
of that tomb Jesus came
Triumph
over death
Nothing
here on earth or in Heaven
Could
ever hold Him again
Resurrection
How
glorious was the rising of our Lord
Death
was destroyed
Those
who believe in Him
Forever
will live covered by His grace
To
those He loved He appeared
Amazed
and relieved were they
For
the Messiah had truly come back to life
Never
to leave them again
He
taught them how to live
As
ambassadors of His kingdom
He
showed them that no earthly man
Could
compete with God above
The
resurrection of our Lord
Brought
life not death to us
So
forevermore let us tell others
Of
the sacrifice of our Lord
POEMS ABOUT CHRISTMAS:
Waiting
The time of waiting has come
Preparing my heart and soul
To celebrate the Lord's coming
As a baby in Bethlehem
Reading and mediating
Upon the Scriptures
That tell of His birth
Seeing new meaning in them
Praying for wisdom
Singing praises to my Lord
Waiting and Watching
Looking to Him with my whole heart
For without His birth
The world would not know
The love of God reaching down
Providing salvation for mankind
Star Filled Night
The star filled night was gentle and calm
The shepherds looked up in peace
Their eyes were watching over their flocks
Waiting for dawn's light to come
Instead of dawn there appeared
A brilliant star that lit up the sky
The startled shepherds had never seen
A star so bright in the sky
Also appearing with that star
A host of angels from on high
Singing in beautiful harmony
Of the King that was born that night
The shepherds went to see
A babe born in a lowly place
They praised God for this new life
That would become our redeemer Savior
So look up this night where you are
Spot the brightest star
Remember, worship, and give thanks
For the Babe born long ago
Christmas Gift
My beautiful Christmas gift
Wrapped in tears and pain
Was given in perfect love
Before I was ever born
For from the beginning of time
God created and chose me
To receive His perfect gift
Of redeeming grace
That grace cost God His Son
Sent to die so I might live
Eternal life is now mine
My righteousness is secured
My beautiful Christmas gift
Paid for by Christ's blood
I open with tears upon my face
And love in my heart to Him
It's Christmas Once Again
It's Christmas once again
The hustle and bustle has begun
Concerts and parties are the norm
So is being frazzled beyond compare
My Lord calls unto me
To stop and meditate
Why He came to earth long ago
What does that mean to me
My soul fills with wonder
At the gift God gave to me
He gave up His Son to death
To rise so I might live
So in the quietness of my heart
The true meaning of Christmas lives
God so loved the world
He sent His Son to redeem me
Ponder
Mary pondered in her heart
The birth of her firstborn
She wonder what would become
Of the one from God she had borne
We today still ponder
That glorious birth so long ago
For we have now seen
What God had planned
His Son came to earth
As the redeemer of mankind
He died and rose again
So we might inherit eternal life
Today ponder God's great love
Joyfully thank Him
Fall on your knees before Him
Worship the King of kings
God's Gifts
Under my tree there are gifts
That shine and twinkle under the lights
They called to be opened
Given in love to one to another
Before the gift is opened
Anticipation builds in the giver
Hoping the gift is received
In the love it was given
God's greatest gift to us
Displays His great love for us
His only begotten Son came to earth
To provide redemption for mankind
Receive God's gift to you
Take Jesus into your heart
Believe that God loves you
Accept His love in joyful jubilation
Joyous Jubilation
What joy for man is it to know
That God gave us His Son long ago
To earth He sent Him one starry night
To give to man His precious Light
The angles sang in jubilee
Declaring God's love for all to see
For Jesus came as God's great gift
To heal our great sinful rift
So let us sing in joyful song
Thankfulness all our whole lifelong
Declaring that from Heaven above
God sent His great redemptive love
Red and Black
Black Friday in today's world
Means to become successful
Getting out of the red
And earning profits instead of debt
But to Christians,
It is the opposite
Being in the black means
Being covered with sins
We seek to be covered
With the red blood of Christ
For only then have we been made
Righteous in God's eyes
At that moment we become rich
Salvation is lavished upon us
Heaven's glory shines on us
We are given everlasting life
Red then becomes the color
That we stand in forever
Black sin turns God away from us
Christ's red blood saves us
Light of God
So long ago into this world of darkness
Came the Light of God
Born as a babe, God's Son
Lit up the world brilliantly
Yet men rejected His Light
Because He did not seem to be
The Messiah they were expecting
He was in fact the opposite
He asked men to believe in Him
And to accept in faith
Who He said he was
The one true Messiah from God
Do we today believe in Him
Do we accept who He is
Or are we like the men of old
Who rejected the Son of God
Remember the gift God gave us
So long ago on a cold night
Accept and believe in Jesus
And give thanks unto God
Born to Die
Born was Jesus to die
Bethlehem was His beginning
Calvary was His death
Yet those few years
Between birth and death
Are the most precious for believers
For God came to earth
He walked among men
Teaching and giving His life for us
But He rose from death to life
So that all who believed in Him
Would also live again
We will rise to meet Him
As He comes back for us
For That was always God's plan
Just Imagine
Just imagine the excitement
As God announces it is time
For Jesus to return to earth
To reign as King
For no one except the Father
Knows when that will be
All in Heaven and on earth
Eagerly await that moment
The angels will sing praises
As Jesus comes back to claim
His kingdom of believers
Who will rejoice as He appears
Just imagine that moment
As we see Him coming for us
Sin and death will be conquered
And forever Jesus will reign
Just Imagine!
The Christmas Tree
The Christmas Tree is decorated
It shimmers with lights and bulbs
Atop sits a golden star
That flickers with with brilliant lights
It draws attention unto itself
Even thought it makes no sound
One sees in it
Hope for a peaceful time
Yet this tree can not guarantee anything
For man has put it there
We enjoy looking at it
But it cannot produce what we hope for
Only Christ in our lives
As our redeemer and king
Alone He is the only source
Of the peace we so desire
So look to Jesus for your peace
Believe in His saving blood
Only in Him will man find
True everlasting life
Christmas Hope
At Christmas hope is renewed
We are reminded of Christ's sacrifice
For He gave up His Heavenly Home
To become the Son of Man
Into this world He came
As a babe in swaddling clothes
He brought hope to everyone
Who recognized the Son of God
As a man He taught all men
To come to His Father above
For He provided us the way
Through His sacrifice on the cross
Today Jesus is our hope
To everlasting life
We have this hope because He rose
And sits at God' s right hand
When I die to Heaven I will go
Because I believe in Jesus
All my hope is because of Him
He is the Christmas Hope for all mankind
Can You Imagine
Can you imagine Mary in Bethlehem
Ready to give birth in a stable
She knew her baby
Came from God above
Can you imagine Joseph with Mary
Standing by her side
Knowing this baby boy
Came from God above
Can you imagine the shepherds in the field
Tending their flock on a cold night
Suddenly angels proclaiming a message
That came from God above
Can you imagine why God
Sent His only Son to earth
To die and rise again
This came from God above
Can you imagine yourself
Living with God's love in you
Accept Jesus as your Savior
For He is the God from above
Hallelujah to the Lord Most High
Hallelujah to the Lord most high
King of Everything
In Him all the world rejoices
As we await His glorious presence
Let all mankind prepare
For His return to His people
He came as a babe long ago
Now He will return in splendor
His majesty was declared by the angels
On a cold night in Bethlehem
All of heaven and earth will fall in wonder
When in the clouds He returns again
O how glorious that day will be
When His face we will truly see
The Love of God will return to earth
To take us to Heaven above
O God above we worship thee
For you alone are worthy
All praise and adoration belong to thee
Hallelujah to the Lord most high
The Light Appeared
Long ago one silent night
The light of the world appeared
As a small babe in Bethlehem
Bringing Heaven down to earth
The babe, Jesus Christ
The Son of God and Man
Brought into this world
The glorious Light from above
His light shone for all to see
The path to His Father above
For when you believe in Jesus
Salvation from sin you receive
Let His light shine out from you
Let it guide someone to Him
For all mankind must realize
He is the only way to eternal life
Let you light flicker strongly
Do not dim or hide it
Let others see the love of God
Calling them to come unto Him
The Gift
Long ago one dark night
God looked
down to Earth
He knew without His gift to us
We would perish in sin
Into this dark world He sent
His light in babe form
His Son, the light for all
Came to us on earth
He shone His light upon man
Guiding us to God's truth
That only through His Son
Comes God's gift of Salvation
Let us than rejoice
For God's great gift to us
For on that night long ago
Jesus came to save us
The Color of Christmas Joy
Bright
and colorful are the lights of Christmas
The
world is aglow with color
Each
tree that stands adorned with lights
Brings
joy to all who see them
Each
bulb that burns brightly
Shines
a rainbow of color
Together
they blend beautifully
Glowing
joy for all who see them
The
colors of Christmas point heavenward
To
glorify the Lord Jesus Christ
For
on Christmas Day He was born
Bringing
joy to all who saw Him
The
angels did sing and lit up the sky
With
glorious songs of praise
Each
angel worshipped the Son of God
Bringing
joy to the parents of this King
The
shepherds herd these songs
In
joy they came to see this King
They
brought with them snow-white lambs
That
represented the purity of this Babe
Mary
and Joseph stood in awe
As
the angles sang of their Babe
The
world was lit in pure joy and love
For
the Savior of Mankind
The
colors of Christmas celebrate His birth
For
in Him all mankind can be saved
His
red blood did flow upon Calvary
Bringing
us joyfully unto Him
Let
this Christmas time be a joy for you
Let
the colors you see brighten your life
For
on that Christmas Day so long ago
God
colored the world with His love
Preparation
Prepare
your heart for Christmas
Wait
for the coming of the King
Long
ago to earth He came
To
save us from our sins
Now
each advent season
I
wait
to celebrate His birth
Focus
will I upon Him
Seeking
to hear His words
He
will lead and guide me
To
new depths of understanding
His
great love
Will
be revealed unto me
The Light
Out
of darkness came a light
So
many years ago
To
earth it came to illuminate
The
birth of the Son of God
Over
Bethlehem the light did stay
To
guide those who would believe
That
in a lowly stable was born
Jesus
Christ, our King
To
earth He came to give to us
God's
greatest gift of love
On
that night He was born
Our
Redeemer, Our Savior, Our Lord
Let
the Light He brought to earth
That
night so long ago
Shine
out from you to all you meet
To
illuminate the glory of our Lord
Christmas
Oh
what a joy to behold
The
coming of our Lord
Down
He came as the Son of God
To
become the Son of Man
He
meets us where we are
Understanding
all that we are going through
He
leads us through this life
To
a new life in Him
Oh
what a joy to behold
The
coming of our Lord
For
through Christ
We
live eternally with Him
Christmas Wishes
Every
child here on earth
Whispers
Christmas' wishes
For
some they are for toys and treats
Others
wish for love
To
Christ I come with my wishes
For
all who are dear to me
For
some it is for God's love
For
others it is His healing touch
My
wishes to Heaven were sent
Upon
Angels wings
Each
one is heard and will be answered
By
my Heavenly Father above
I
look forward to the answers
That
come from Heaven above
I
know in my heart that my Christmas wishes
Are
treasured by my Father above
Joy
In
an instant insurmountable joy
will
fill my heart
When
I stand in heaven above
God
will smile at me
One
moment I will be on earth,
Yet
in an instant I will be with Him
Oh
how I long for that moment
When
my life will become eternally complete
Joy
swells in my heart
as
I contemplate that life changing moment
Yet
that joy is mine now
For
within me Christ lives
Insurmountable
Joy fills my heart
For
instantaneously when I accepted Him
I
was made complete
Like A Bell
The
Words of God are like a bell
Ringing
His truth throughout the world
Can
you hear what He says to you?
Do
you believe His words to be true?
Each
time He speaks and we believe
His
message rings with clarity
One
day in heaven above
The
bells of all who believe will ring
They
will announce the coming of the King
To
all who heard His message ring
O Little Town
The
sleepy town of Bethlehem
Home
to shepherds and sheep
Became
one night long ago
The
birthplace of a King
Long
before it happened
Prophecies
of old were told
How
one day Bethlehem
Would
be honored forever more
For
in a stable, not a home
Christ
our Savior was born
Angels
and shepherds declared
The
majesty of our Lord
From
that day forward
One
small city has known
That
on a quiet sleepy night
The
King of Kings was born
One Blessed Holy Night
One
blessed night long ago
Unto
a mother a child was born
Weary
was she from the trip
For
they had traveled to Bethlehem
Young
and inexperienced was she
To
bear this child from heaven above
But
God had chosen her above all others
To
carry His Holy Son
In
a stable, not a palace
The
birth of the babe took place
Only
Joseph and Mary were there
to
care for the Holy Infant
Yet
Heaven rejoiced and the angels sang
Of
the glorious birth of this babe
The
shepherds that heard came to see
Royalty
in that common place
For
on that day God had chosen
To
send His Son to us
Little
did Mary and Joseph know
They
would raise the Son of God
One
blessed night long ago
God
fulfilled His Holy plan
To
send to earth His only son
As
prophecy had foretold
So
let us sing and rejoice today
Remembering
God's gift of love
As
he sent His only begotten Son
Born
that Holy Night
One Silent Night
Heaven's
peace to earth did come
One
silent night long ago
In
a stable in Bethlehem
Christ
the Lord was born
To
lowly humble parents He came
To
be raised in their love
But
deep in their hearts they new
He
was the Son of God
For
as they raised Him He did search
For
knowledge from Heaven above
For
deep within Himself He knew
Why
to earth He had come
To
every person here on earth
He
offers eternal life
For
on that cross so long ago
He
gave up His life
In
your hearts accept His gift of sacrificial love
Let
Him enter into you and reign in your heart
For
one silent night long ago
Heaven's
peace to earth did come
The Day Before
The
day before Christ was conceived
As
a babe in Mary's womb
He
sat upon His throne above
Beside
His beloved Father
Son,
you will be their Messiah,
The
Savior of the world
You
will show them the one true way
To
eternal salvation
Each
step you take, each work you way
Will
shake their lives completely
Their
eyes will open, they will see
The
love I have for them
Your
words will be sustenance
Upon
which they will grow
Your
death will be
Your
final act as the Son of Man
Your
resurrection will bring you back
To
your throne above
Through
your life and death below,
Your
followers will live again
For
you will pay their debt in full
Your
righteousness will cover their sins
So
go, My beloved, into the world
Show
them the way to me
Follow
the path I have laid out for you
To
bring salvation to all who will believe
Hope Is In Jesus - NEW!!!
My hope is in Jesus
He is the author of my salvation
He alone sees my whole life
He will lead and guide me
Through out each day
When I follow after Him
But when I set out before Him
I do not have the guide I need
To walk in His ways here on earth
Let me always put my hope in Him
For only He is worthy
He died so I might live
Lean on Him - NEW!!!
Follow God in confidence
Lean on Him in faith
For He and He alone
Knows the path you should take
He is eternal and wise
Limitless and all knowing
Creator of your life
Having plans for your every step
Reach out to Him in prayer
Never doubt who He is
Put your eyes upon Him
Follow Him in childlike faith
For He loves you
His plans are for your good
Not for evil
Giving us hope and a future
Joy
Oh
what a joy it will be
To
meet my Savior in the air
As
He returns to call me home
Along
with all His followers
Until
that glorious day comes
I
will live to serve and obey Him
To
live and breathe Jesus
Daily
in my life
Craving
only Him
Serving
only Him
Loving
only Him
Above
all earthly things
For
my soul calls out to Him
To
be filled and sustained by him
Let
Him direct my path
His
joy will be in me
Come,
oh Jesus, come
My
soul longs for thee
To
sing and worship thee
All
glory belongs to thee
Contrasts
Christ
came into this world
Filled
with sin's darkness
The
angels sang brilliantly
The
star shed its light over Him
The
world did not recognize
The
Light of Christ
He
was condemned and killed
He
died in darkness
Yet
He rose
Again
His light shone on earth
Then
to Heaven He went
Earth
again was in sin's darkness
God
sent His Spirit to us
In
believers He dwells
Out
of us, His light shines
Blocking
sins darkness
Once
again Jesus will come
In
brilliance beyond all compare
All
will see His glorious power
As
He reigns forever more.
God's Love is Amazing
God's steadfast love amazes me
No matter how man changes
God's love does not
He does not withdraw from us
Man changes every moment
Man's love is unstable
It is changed by everything
Yet God's love is not this way
Marvel in this love
That God has for men
Never will He leave us
We are never forsaken
What love He has for us
Bask in it, but always remember
He is our eternal Father
Live in obedience and
glorify Him
My Soul Calls Out
My soul calls out
To the Holy Lord God
Only He can satisfy
My one true desire
That is to be with Him
Always and forever
To show my love to Him
And bring Him glory
For only He is able
To fill my soul full
With deep abiding satisfaction
Of knowing and honoring my King
In Triumph
Christ will come in triumph
He will destroy all that is evil
No one will stand with Him
Unless you have accepted Him
He must be your King
You have believed in Him
He rules your heart and soul
Your allegiance is to Him
All those with Him
Will sing in triumph to Him
All praise, honor, and glory
Belong to our King, Jesus
Hallelujah to the King
Sweet Peace
God's peace has been promised
To those who believe in Him
It surpasses our understanding
Protecting our hearts and minds
It comes to us as a gift
When in Him we trust
The more we give over to Him
The more peace we will receive
Come to Him in humility
Knowing it His timing we must trust
Patiently wait for God's will
To be unfolded in your life
His peace is priceless
It gives you rest beyond our grasp
Be thankful for this sweet rest
That comes from our Heavenly Father
Glorious Day
Oh what a glorious
Day it will be
When Christ calls me home
Into His presence
I will be ushered
Seeing His love for me
Falling on my knees
In worship of my Lord
Praises will be flowing out of me
His face in glorious radiance
Will look upon me
His love encompassing me
Oh what a glorious
Day it will be
When into my Savior's arms I fall
Being Saved
When the storms of life
Threaten to overtake me
There is only one choice
To being saved
His name is Jesus
Son of God
Redeemer, Savior
Lover of my soul
Only He can bring me
Safety and peace
Only He has the power
Because He is God
So to Him I turn
As my soul is sinking
He reaches down
And saves me from drowning
Let Freedom Ring
Let freedom ring
What does that mean to me
Is it personal freedom to do what I want
Or freedom in Christ my Lord
God gave me a will
To chooses my own path
He also gave unto me
The choice of being free in Him
That choice is to follow Him
Giving up my own will
Letting Him lead and guide me
Laying aside my personal choices
Only then can I be free
True freedom that brings life
Death will not swallow me
Let Christ's freedom ring
Chosen
Chosen was I by God
From the beginning of time
Before I was ever born
He knew I would be His
He gave me free will
But also a desire for Him
So that I would choose Jesus
As my Lord and Savior
What a blessing this is
To have been elected by Him
To become holy and blameless
Through the sacrifice of His Son
Chosen was I by God
To be his child
No greater blessing is there
Then to call God Abba
Adopted
Adopted was I by God
Once I believed in His Son
His child I now am
Never to be abandoned
For chosen was I long ago
Before time ever started
God chose to accept us
Through His Beloved's sacrifice
We now belong to God's Family
He provides blessings for His children
Salvation, justification, and sanctification
Are three that guide lead us to holiness
For we will live in Holiness before Him
We will rule with Christ in Heaven
Only because we have been adopted
As children of the most Holy God
Redeemed
Redeemed am I
From the slavery of sin
The ransom was paid
By the Son of God
He came to earth
For this purpose
To redeem His kinsmen
And reconcile us to God
No longer can sin
Pollute and enslave us
For the spilling of Christ's blood
Has delivered us
The blessing of Redemption
Has been give to those
Who accept Christ as Savior
Bringing all glory to God
Sealed by the Spirit
The moment I was forgiven
By believing In Jesus as Savior
The Spirit came into me
And sealed me for all time
This sealing is a promise
Given by God to Believers
That He has an inheritance
For us in Heaven above
This sealing also shows
That we are separated
From this world
Set apart for God
We belong only to God
For He ransomed us from sin
Let us be thankful and obedient
To the Lord God most high
Outside
Outside the circle of God's love
I once stood
Separated from Him was I
Until Jesus brought me to Him
For a sinner was I
Unworthy to be looked upon
Blackness surrounded me
No light penetrated my soul
But Jesus changed everything
In Him I believe
His death washed away my sins
His rising brought light into me
Now I stand in before God
He sees not my sin but
So I now stand
In the circle of God's love
Inheritance
Israel was led by God
Out of Egypt they came
God provided all they needed
Yet all they did was complain
He had a promised land for them
An inheritance given just to them
Yet all they did was grumble
How Egypt had been better for them
How we are like them
God promises us an inheritance
Eternal life with him in Heaven above
Yet many have rejected Him
Many has not changed
We are sinners from birth
Do not me one who rejects Jesus
Embrace God's inheritance for you
Certain Am I
Oh how certain am I
Of my place in Heaven
I know my redeemer
In whom I believe
Oh what joy I will have
When face to face I meet Him
I will run as the wind
Into His arms
Oh He will greet me with joy
I will bow in worship before Him
He will lift me up
Guiding me to the Father
Oh how I long in anticipation
For the coming of my Lord
For sin will be defeated
Christ will rule forever more
A Sinner No Longer Am I
No longer a sinner am I
For by the blood of the Lamb
I have been redeemed
To earth He did come to die
So men could be justified
Becoming heirs to God
Let me no longer look
Upon myself as a sinner
But as a child of the Living God
In Him I have the strength
To choose not to sin
For a sinner no longer am I
Lost and Alone
I was lost and all alone
Falling into sin at every turn
No one who cared about my soul
Until Jesus called my name
I turned around when I heard
His loving voice beckoning me
To listen to His words of life
That could save me forevermore
I stopped and let Him show me
The sacrifice He had made for me
That through belief in Him
I would be saved eternally
So on that day to Him I gave
My heart, my soul, and my life
For He had come to die for me
What allegiance I owe Him
Now I sing because I know
He is my Savior and King
For long ago God chose to save
All who would come to Him
Within Me
God's Spirit within me
Causes me to remember
The Word of the Lord
Spoken here on earth
He brings to mind
The promises made
By the Father Above
Spoken through Jesus His Son
His Truth never leaves me
Is is the path for my soul
God's Spirit whispers to me
His words of wisdom
Let my soul always be ready
To Listen and receive
The Words of my Savior
Written just for me
The Joy I Seek
Christ - the joy I seek
Is in my life today
Let me seek His guidance
In every step I take
All my thoughts I give to Him
So only on Him I meditate
Soaking up His love and words
Resting peacefully in Him
My heart's desire is to display
Jesus to others I meet
Let the fruit of His love
Shine in my life today
All glory belongs to Jesus
He is the rock I stand upon
Let me hold onto Him for everything
Christ is the joy I seek
Perfect Gift
Your grace O God
Is such a perfect gift
Yet I don't understand
Its fullness for me
I pray for understanding
And for wisdom
Let me know what it means
To say Your grace is enough
Continue to reveal to me
Your perfect gift
To know what it cost you
To give me life
O God I thank you
For your grace
You see me worthy enough
To bestow on me your grace.
You Are My God
O God of Hope
Today I look to thee
For only thou O Lord
Can see all of me
In this world I sin
And fall short of your glory
Death should be mine
But thou has saved me
For by your hand of righteous
Your Son was my sacrifice
He paid my costly debt
So I might live not die
Look into my heart
My love is for you alone
In you I have faith and hope
For you are my God
God’s Plans For Me
Jesus walks before me
Every moment of my life
It is my desire to follow Him
Every step I take
For He guides me
As He shows me God’s will
A perfect will is it for me
To bring all glory back to God
His plans are not harmful
They are planned in love
They are meant to help me
And always to glorify my Father
So every day as I arise
I will ask Jesus to lead me
Letting Him set the path
That God has planned just for me
Radical Love
O the love of God
That He lavishes on me
Radically He sacrificed His own Son
To loving redeem me
A sinner am I by birth
Separated and lost from God
Only the blood of the perfect Lamb
Bought my redemption from death
Even though I am redeemed
Sin still influences me
At times I walk away from God
Not listening to His Spirit in me
He lovingly calls my name
Restoring me unto Himself
What radical love he has
For me and all mankind
Wonderful Grace
The
wonderful grace of Jesus
Given
to all mankind
The
angels don't comprehend
This
gift from God above
They
look at man in wonder
And
see His hand upon us
The
Church is His body of believers
Living
in Him here on earth
Mankind
should be an example
As
all of Heaven looks down
For
what they should see is Jesus
Looking
back at them through us
Let
us then look to Jesus for guidance
In
all that we do and say
For
we are His example of God's grace
For
all of the Heavenly realm
Waterfall
Fill
me up Oh Lord
With
all you have for me
Let
me be an open vessel
That
holds your love and peace
Let
that love grow in me
Until
it falls like a waterfall
Pouring
out of me
Rushing
powerfully
Let
it fall over others
Who
need your love and peace
Let
them feel your power
Entering
into their souls
Fill
me up Oh Lord
Till
all of me is yours
Let
me flow like a waterfall
With
a clean sweet soul
Oh God of Great Mercy
Oh God of great mercy
To thee I return today
Asking your forgiveness
For going my own way
To thee I relinquish
Every detail of my life
Guide me in each step
Of the journey of my life
Oh Great Loving Father
Let me remain in thee
For to thee I surrender
My will, choices and desires
Seeking Jesus -
Earnestly
I want to know God
He
reaches down from Heaven
Holding
out His hand to me
Waiting
for me to respond
It
seems I look in all the wrong places
Trying
on my own to find Him
Working
with all my might
Never
encountering Him
Yet
all I need to do
Is
to sit and be quiet
He
will enter into me
Filling
every empty corner
Than
I will hear Him
Speaking
my name in love
My
seeking is over
For
He has found me
Prayer
Lord,
Wash all of me
Make me clean within
Let my tongue confess
Your deep love for me
Let your Spirit guide me
To your thoughts and deeds
Let my nature die within me
Let your holiness surround me
All honor and glory
Are for you alone
For who else would love me
Except my Creator
To you I give
All my gratitude
For your deep love for me
Thank you Holy God
Thank you Lord
Your Gifts, Oh Lord
Let all I do
each day
Glorify you Oh Lord
Let all I say each day
Point to you Oh Lord
For you are the giver
Of everything I need
For you provide and equip me
For each day's journey
Let me use your gifts today
To let someone see
The gory of my God and King
And your eternal Gift of Love
Living for Jesus
Living for Jesus
Is a life long process
Treating each day
As if He is coming again
Sometimes it seems
As if His coming is far off
For we do not understand
Why He has waited so long
Yet God desires
All men to come to Him
He patiently waits
For men to choose Him
Only God knows
When Christ will return
To claim His followers
That are here on Earth
Until that day
Be Christ like in your life
Prepare for the King's
Glorious, Triumphant return
No Condemnation
No condemnation, no condemnation
Jesus ever gave to mankind
Only mercy He showed to us
Only mercy and His grace
To others what do we show
Man is quick to judge
Man is quick to condemn
In this what do we show to others
Let us turn and look
Into the eyes of Jesus
Let us then turn and look at man
Through the eyes of our Lord
See no condemnation in anyone
For Chris is our Lord
If He did not condemn
Neither should we
Never Alone
Oh Lord my God
In you I believe
Your are my rock and refuge
My stronghold in times of need
Days come upon me
When totally alone I feel
But deep in my hear I know
You have not left me
In those times of despair
Your words comfort me
For you have declared
Your great love for me
Those words are my hope
For in you I believe
You, Oh Lord Almighty
Have your hand upon me
Standing Firm
My
foundation is Jesus Christ
In
Him I firmly stand
He
is the rock of my salvation
The
cornerstone of my faith
Through
the renewing of my soul
Every
day of my life
My

Will
remain firm and steadfast
Communicating
with God daily
Through
prayer, study and mediation
Are
the building blocks
That
keeps my stance firm
Storms
of life will come my way
Threatening
to knock me astray
In
the armor of God I will dress
To
battle whatever comes my way
Through
Christ I will extend my hand
To
others who are slipping away
To
help them reestablish a firm stance
On
their foundation in Jesus Christ
Therefore
let us all join together
To
stand firmly in our Lord
For
He is the cornerstone of our foundation
Upon
Him we may always rely
The Way to Salvation -
Jesus
taught wherever He went
Miracles
He also did
Each
word and act that came from Him
Points
to His true identity
For
He is the way and truth
To
eternal life and salvation
No
other way has been given
To
become a child of God
Believe
what He says
Put
your faith and trust in Him
For
He loved you so much
That
He died just for you
What
greater gift could be given
Then
eternal life with Him
He
is the only true way
Believe
in Him and be saved
Black to White
Before
the cross I stood
Covered
in the filth of sin
Destitute
and despised
By
all but the Son of God
Even
in His pain
He
beckoned me to Himself
His
body was in anguish
But
His eyes were full of love
I
looked and saw His sorrow
As
He died upon that cross
As
His blood flowed out of Him
It
washed away my sins
He
died and rose again
That
forever I might live
Black
was I when I cam to Him
Radiantly
white in His glory I now stand
I Know Best
God
asks me quietly
To
follow His words
To
seek His words
In
all I do
Instead
of listening
I
turn away
Knowing
my was is best
I
need not Him
No
matter how far I turn away
He
pursues me with His love
He
speaks louder and louder
Until
I cannot ignore Him
I
turn all my attention upon Him
He
whispers of His love for me
Then
in quietness
I
turn and listen to Him
In Charge
You
cannot touch what I can touch
You
cannot see all that I do
I am
the Lord God Almighty
In
charge am I of all things
I
see your whole life
I
know thing about your future
When
you let me guide your steps
You
show your love to me
Trust
in me is essential
Have
faith that I will care for you
My
love for you is unfathomable
Let
me show you glimpses of it
I
wait for you each morning
To
walk with me through out the day
My
love will encompass your every step
This
is my promise to you
Extraordinary in the Ordinary
The
love of God is extraordinary
That
manifests itself in our ordinary lives
He
reaches down from Heaven on High
To
care for us each day
He
loves us so much
He
listens to our prayers
He
desires for us to share all our thoughts
Not
just what we consider important
So
let God in every aspect of your life
He
will guide every step you take
He
loves every detail of our lives
With
His guidance our ordinary lives become extraordinary
I Have Met the Lord
Envision
do I the coming of my Lord
Appearing
in the clouds
Surrounded
by the Heavenly Host
Shouting
praises to our King
His
glory will be revealed
For
all to see
All
will fall on their knees
To
worship the Messiah
My
heart longs for this day
When
I will meet my Lord
At
His feet I will fall
As
He passes by
Yet
I have already met Him
For
in me He resides
May
I worship Him now as I want to them
Totally
focused only on Him
Rise Up and Stand
Rise
up and stand before your God
Glorify
and honor His name
For
you His blood was shed
So
His salvation could come to you
Rise
up and worship Him
Let
His name be honored by you
Raise
your hand and bow your heart
Worship
the Almighty One
Rise
up before the great I AM
But
then fall on your knees
For
you He died and rose again
His
salvation He secured for you
Come Ye Blessed
Come ye blessed unto me
Jesus calls to us
For in my image you are made
I desire to talk to you
Look for my blessings
For from me they flow
Open you eyes, look for them
They come to you each day
From heaven I have come
To invite you to live in me
From the beginning of time
This was my desire
Come ye blessed unto me
For my arms are open
To all those who look for me
For all time I have blessed thee
Rest In Me
Run to me and fall into my arms
Come to me in all circumstances
For I long to hold you in my arms
To give you my peace and rest
For I am calling you unto me
To abide in me always
Never to face the world
without me
Always to have you by my side
For I will lead and guide you
Each step you take I will go
with you
But for now let me hold you
Feel my peace upon you and
rest in me
God's Peace
God's
peace is a river
That
flows over me
When
I allow it to run freely
It
cleanses me
Away
it washes all fear and dread
Of
all that I cannot do
What
I worry about
On
long sleepless nights
Into
my heart it brings
Rest,
sleep, and contentment
For
God's peace restores
Me
unto Him
Wash
over me today Oh Lord
Take
away my anxiousness
Cleanse
me from all that
Separates
me from Thee
Wooden Door
Jesus
came to earth one day
As
a babe born to Mary
In
a stable did He lay
In
a wooden trough
As
a child He did learn
To
build furniture of wood
He
also learned to discern
People's
wooden hearts
He
showed to all who believed in Him
His
great love and peace
Those
hearts of wood did open up
And
accepted His gift of love
Upon
a wooden cross He died
So
we might live forever
His
mighty loves was not snuffed out
Upon
that cross of wood
So
open the wooden doors of your heart
Let
Him live in thee
Let
His love fill you up
So
that alive you will be
Drops of Blood -
Drops
of blood flowed from the cross
Over
my sins they have fallen
Washing
away my guilt
On
the cross hung my Lord
Letting
Himself be crucified
So
I may live
Out
of the grave He came
From
the depths of hell He arose
So
that I may rise to live in Him
Nothing
could hold Him
For
on that day
Rose
the King of Kings
From
the drops of blood
To
the glorious crown He wears
All
He did, He did for me
Come and Drink -
Come
and drink
The
Lord calls to me
Come
and drink
Be
filled with life
Let
the Holy Spirit
Fill
your soul
With
my life giving water
That
will save your soul
Drink
deeply and long
Be
satisfied
For
my life is the water
That
will sustain you
Do
not turn away
From
my water of life
For
the darkness of sin
That
will malnourish you
Come
and drink
From
the River of Life
Thirst
no more
Be
filled with my life
Nourishment -
Never
turned away
By
the Son of God
He
opens and accepts
All
who in faith come to Him
He
sees not your color
Your
creed or code
He
only sees you
Believing
and trusting in Him
He
beckons you to come
Fully
trusting in Him
He
will give to you
All
you need
For
His is the source of life
From
Him flows the power of God
Open
your eyes and see the Lord
Waiting
to nourish you
Fill Me Oh Spirit -
Fill
me oh Spirit
Till
I over flow
With
all of God's
Goodness,
faithfulness, and love
Let
every part of my being
Be
cleansed by your hand
So
sin has no hold
On
this child of God
Let
everyone who meats me
Know
I have been touched
By
the Almighty God
My
Father in Heaven above
Through
faith in God
Praying
daily for His strength
Let
me live in His fullness
So
that I might glorify Him
Fill
me oh Spirit
With
what God has for me
Only
then will I be
Made
fully complete
His Grace Falls Upon Me
When
I least expect it
God's
grace falls upon me
Grace
to heal my soul
Grace
to make me whole
For
each and every day
I
expect that I will sin
But
when I enter my Father's presence
His
grace cleanses my soul
His
grace is freely given
To
all who look to Him
His
forgiveness washes away
Those
expected daily sins
So
Lord I look to thee
And
thank thee in my heart
That
you have so freely given
Your
grace unto me
He Waits With Me
Waiting
was I for the Lord
To
do His work in my life
Alone
I felt until I knew
I
was not alone
For
while I wait for His will to be done
He
waits with me
He
holds my heart in His hands
He
whispers His promises to me
Like
a mother who comforts a child
God
comforts my soul, my heart, my being
For
while I wait for His will to be done
He
waits with me
Ready was I for a change in my life
Restlessness
overtook me
Waiting
was not what I wanted to do
Action
was my answer
Wait
the Lord called to me
And
I will wait with you
So
wait will I for His perfect timing
Focus
will I on Him
He
will unfold His plan for me
And
show me what He wants done
He
will prepare me
And
while I wait on Him
He
waits with me
Christ's Return
I
look to see Christ's return
Yet
His time has not yet come
When
I look for Him to come
I
focus on the Kingdom of God
One
day I will look up
Unexpectedly
He will be coming
Upon
the clouds He will return
His
arms opened wide
Until
then I must watch but not wait
To
serve the Lord my God
For
when I serve Him here on earth
My
life points the way to Him
Ready
must I be to meet my Lord
When
He returns to earth
For
I know not His time
But
ready I must be
So
Lord my God
Show
me the way
To
be prepared at any moment
To
meet you face to face
Down
from Heaven you will come
Calling
home all who believe
I
will be caught up in the clouds
To
live forever with thee
The Christmas Light
The
lights of Christmas dazzle me
They
make the world shine
All
is colorfully illuminated
Darkness
seems to hide
Those
lights are there yearly
Making
Christmas bright
But
when the season is over
Those
lights no longer shine
But
in my heart is the Everlasting Light
That
Christmas is all about
Christ
is the Eternal Light
Who
was born that life changing night
So
let that Eternal Christmas Light
Live
inside of you
Let
it shine brightly so others may see
The
Light born that Christmas Night
Promise of Renewal
Today
is a brand new day
The
Lord has given to me
Today
I can choose to hope in Him
Or
faint into the darkness that is creeping in
For
when I awoke the fears came again
Why
even get out of bed
Why
not stay hidden away
Why
even try
But
then to my Lord I cried
This
is not how I want to be
Life
is full of so many good things
That
you have given me
Come
unto me He called
Be
not weary of living
I
will carry all your burdens
Hope
and trust in me
Thank
you Oh Father
For
your written word
For
today I turned and found in it
Your
promise to renew me each day
God's Treasures
God
treasures those whom He calls
As
His most prized processions
Unto
to us He has made a covenant
Of
love, grace, and mercy
When
we His people obey His voice
And
follow Him in faith and trust
He
gives to us in abundance
Treasures
from Heaven above
When
we seek Him each day
With
all that is within us
To
others we show
His
love, compassion, and kindness
For
God's covenant to love and treasure us
Is
for all eternity
What
better way to live my life is there
Then
in humble, loving obedience to the Lord God Almighty
God's Child
God
delights in this child to be born
For
he alone chose the time for the birth
He
looked at all the earth holds
And
decided the time for this little one is now
He
looked and chose carefully
Who
the parents should be
A
couple of God's love and grace
Willing
to accept His plans for them
For
the woman He chose
The
right time for conception
A
time that would lead to the birth of this baby
Fulfilling
God's perfect timing
For
this child is God's idea
He
has skillfully knitted together
Deep
within the mother's womb
Lies
a child of his love and grace
God
has created this child
As
He does all others
In
His image they are formed
His
love for them is everlasting
So
you carry deep within
A
divinely planned pregnancy
A
child who God delights in
Created
in His power and wisdom
Blooming for God
God
plants in my heart His seeds of Faith
In
Him they begin to grow
He
waters and feeds then as they sprout
Encouraging
them to grow
He
tends each bud of Faith that appears
In
the garden of my heart
He
protects them from the bugs of sin
That
seek to destroy them
Under
His care and in His time
The
buds bloom in full array
The
beauty of my wonderful Lord
Is
displayed for all to see
For
when I allow Him to care for me
And
guide my every step
I
bloom in a wondrous display
That
glorifies the Lord my God
Never Alone
Today
I stand not alone
But
surrounded by God's Heavenly Host
For
in me is God's Holy Spirit
He
guides my every step
Around
me as I go out today
God's
angels guide and protect me
For
when my eyes are on my Lord
And
my heart is following His lead
Then
I know no matter what is thrown at me
Protected
I will be
Praise
be to God the Almighty
Who
opens my eyes to see
That
He never leaves me
As
I walk in this World
So
as I travel throughout this day
Alone
I will not be
For
God and his mights Host
Protect
and guide me
God Smiled Down
God
smiled down upon me today
He
had given me a job to do
And
I did it with total abandonment
People
were astonished at what I did
For
I actually enjoyed myself
With
a task they would hate
But
God gave me the tools I needed
And
a love for the task
To
complete this job and glorify Him
Each
day I pray Oh Lord
Let
me use the talents you have given me
To
do the jobs you want me to do
Let
me sing of your glory and honor
As
I work under your guidance
For
then I will glorify you and honor your Holy Name
Sincere Love
Sincere
loves comes from the depth of your heart
It
flows from one to another
With
nothing expected in return
God's
love for me is sincere
He
sent His Son to die to show His love to me
His
Son rose again so that I may live
God's
love is given as a sacrificial gift
His
love is sincere
He
never takes it away
No
conditions are attached
Once
I've accepted His gift
All
He has He gives to me
I
open my heart to you Oh Lord
Let
your love flow out of me
So
your sincere love will be shown to all I meet
The Hope of the Future
This
child to come is a covenant of my love
A
promise of the future for you
For
this child I have plans
That
will astonish you
But
with my plans come the provisions
That
are necessary for the journey
Fear
not the future
Full
trust in me
For
I will provide all that is needed
For
this child will provide my hope
In
a brand new way
To
those who seek my will
So
carry this child of mine
With
anticipation in your heart
For
this child is an unexpected gift to you
From
your Almighty God
Hold on to Me
In
the earth, sea, and sky above
Your
great love holds on to me
Not
one step do I take
Until
you have stepped before me
You
prepare me for each day
When
in prayer I come to you
You
hear my pleas and open your hands
For
me to come to you
You
protect me from all harm
You
guide me through the day
Never
am I left alone
To
walk through this day
Today
I come and you hear
The
pleas within my heart
Fear
not you say, Go forth in peace
Trust
the Lord your God
My Soul Rejoices
My
soul rejoices
in thee Oh Lord
My
protector thou art
Out
of darkness thou has shown me
The
Light thou art
No
earthly thing can complete my heart
Only
the love you give me
From
the depths of despair my soul called out
Thou,
Oh Lord, answered me
Thou
showed me thy great compassion
For
those
who believe in you
Even
though my mind said where is God
My
soul knew you were there
Oh
Lord my God
My
rock and salvation
In
thee I find my refuge
For
only thou completes my soul
Forever
will thou be my Lord
Arms of My Lord
Safe
and secure in the arms of my Lord
Will
I stay today
Anything
that attacks me
He
adverts away from me
All
that scares
me
He
protects me from
All
that would harm me
He
hold me above
Nothing
that comes at me
Can
touch me when in His arms I stay
So
today I will stay and not stray away
From
His loving arms
Fear
will not touch me, It will not overtake me
For
In His arms I will stay
Trust Will I in the Lord NEW!!!
Trust
will I in the Lord
In
all that happens to me
For
he sees the whole world
And
plans where to use me
This
knowledge
and understanding
He
imparts to me
As
I open my heart and mind
Totally
trusting in Him
Praise
be to God the Almighty
Maker
of all that is
Within
His hands He hold
All
knowledge
and wisdom
there is
Thanks
be to God
That
He chooses
to care for me
That
when I turn to Him
He
shares His wisdom
with me
So
today I turn and look
To
see God's hand upon me
Imparting
knowledge to my waiting heart
Of
His great love for me
How Strong I Your Love NEW!!!
Oh Lord, how strong is your love in upholding me
In
times of trouble you carry me
You
let nothing
harm me
When
I feel alone
You
hold and talk to me
Softly
you remind me
That
you will never leave me
From
the beginning of time to the end
Your
power and strength will protect me
No
matter what happens in my life
You
control all that goes on, in, and about me
From
the beginning of time til its end
You
reign in majesty
For
holy, holy, holy
Art
thou oh mighty Lord
Authority
No
one over me, everyone under me
That
is what I like to feel
Authority
gives me power
Power
gives me control
Yet
when I yield my authority
I
gain such power in my life
Power
to let the Almighty God
Shower
me with His love, grace, and mercy
For
Jesus came with authority over all that there is
He
forgave sins
He
healed the sick
Nothing
could overtake Him
Yet
He chose to die for me
So
that I may live again
Now
He empowers me with His Spirit
To
follow His authority
Under
His authority I am free
Of
the sin I once had
Free
to live as a Child of God
Telling
all I meet of His great love and grace
Ragamuffin No More
Ragamuffin
no more am I
Saved
by the blood of the cross
All
that was in the past is gone
A
saint in God's House am I
He
turns to me and all He sees
Is
a child whom He loves
Dressed
am I in royal robes
My
tattered past is gone
His unconditional love for me
Anoints
my soul each day
His
grace and mercy comfort me
While
in His arms I stay
For
God has chosen me as His own
Tattered
no more am I
Daily
I live in His love
A
Saved Saint am I
Call Me, Oh Lord
Call
Me Oh Lord
Listen
I shall to your still small voice
Impart
to me your will
For
I strongly desire to understand your words to me
Apart
from you I shrivel and am dry
Parched
is my soul
But
when I listen and hear your words
My
spirit blooms and grows
I
live not then in a bleak continuous winter
But
my soul blooms eternally within
Call
and I will listen
Let
me hear what you have to say
For
my heart desires to understand
All
that you have for me
Life Without Fear
Christ
gives me what I need to know
Not
what others say I should know
Through
Christ's grace I am free to live
The
path He shows to me
But
Christ by grace has set me free
To
live without fear
Through
Him and by Him I am free
To
follow His leading and guidance
So
today I will live within His grace
Not
under the law of sin
Dance With Me
The
Lord called
Dance
with me today
Rise
up - Seek me
I
will lead your every step
Do
not fight
Let
me lead
For
I know the way
Rest
in my arms
Do
not try to lead
For
this is MY dance
Life
is a Joy
Dance
to the music
I
give
I
love You!
Dance

A Gift to Behold
God’s
love encompass me in every area of my life
It
reaches into my soul transforming me
God’s
love gives me the right to be called his child
It
tells me I am cherished and valued by the Creator of All
Do
I see myself in this light
or
do I tear myself down?
Do
I judge myself by the world’s standards
or
by God’s love for me?
Oh
what love He has for me, calling me His own
His
only Son died giving me this right
The
God of all creation loves even me
What
a gift to behold
The
greatest gift of all
The
love of the Father
has
been given to me
The Garden of Life
The
Garden of Life is full of fruit
To
nourish my soul today
Each
tree is full of plump ripe fruit
All
within my reach
Each
beckons me to pick and eat
To
fill my soul to the brim
Which
do I choose as I walk
Into
the world today?
Is
it the fruit of the Living God
I
feast upon today
Or
is it the fruit of deception and lies
That
first catches my eye
How
do I know what to pick?
It
all looks good to me.
“Rely
on me today,” said the Lord
“Walk
with me hand in hand,
I
will show you what fruit to pick
To
nourish you soul today”
As
I walk I will eat
What
Jesus picks for me
For
He is the Master Gardener
Knowing
what is best for me
“Come
and eat,” said the Lord
“For
the fruit is ripe and fresh.
All
will be well with thee
In
the Garden of Life today”
Free At Last
Free
at Last, Free at Last
Thank
God I am free at last,
so
goes a saying from the past
But
in Christ I am always free
He
walks beside me
He
sees where I should be
He
shows the path to me
How
then do I get lost
In
this prison of sin and pain
Why
do I feel in life I’m making not gains
Circumstances
may not change
but
my heart turns toward Him
Then
I do not focus on the Prison of Life
but
on the Hope brought by Him
Free
at Last, Free at Last
Set
free by the Hope in the one who forgets my past
Open My Eyes
Open
my eyes Jesus
that
I may see the path you want me to take
Walk
with me Jesus
that
I may not stumble and fall
Guide
me Jesus
that
I may see the direction to go
For
in thee Oh Lord, I put my Hope
thou
will walk with me
thou
will guide me
thou
will set my feet upon the right path
Joy of the Lord
One
day I will know the joy of the Lord
I
will look upon His face
I
will stand in His presence
His
arms will open wide embracing me with His love
All
my sorrows will be gone
Pain
will hold me no more
Peace
will enter in
Joy
will fill my heart
Oh
what a day that will be
Anticipation
fills my soul as I wait for that day
Yet
- that day is today!!!
I
see His face
I
stand with Him
He
wraps His arms around me
My
sorrows vanish
He
takes my pain upon Himself
His joy fills my soul
Hope is my Anchor
Hope
is my anchor
It
ties me to God
Left
untied I drift upon the seas of life
Capsized
I will be when life’s waves wash over me
Unable
to recover in my own strength
The
storms of life batter and bruise me
Deeper
in misery I sink and sink
The
weariness of struggling causes me to drown
Faith,
truth, and hope are intertwined together
They
are the rope that holds me to God
Covering
over all my storms is His great love
I
will not drown but soar above life’s rough waves
My
anchor holds
My
future is secured by the hands of the Captain of my Life
The Lord is my Peace
The
Lord is my peace
this
I believe
In
Him and through Him
peace
enters my soul
He
calls my name
entering
my soul
calming
my fears
He
calls me to believe
that
I will never die
He
never leaves my side
I
am never alone
The
world will call me
tempting
me to leave
for
pastures that are greener
for
riches here on earth
I
must remember
God
calls my name
He
knows who I am
Through
Him my salvation is secure
Because
of Him, I will live
forever
in Heaven by His side
The
Lord is my peace
this
I believe
I
will listen to His still small voice
Hope
The
path that laid before me was done
Each
step I had taken
Each
turn I had traveled
Led
me to its end
I
stood and wondered
Where
do I go from here
So
long I had been on my current path
What
could my future hold
"Child
of Mine" the Lord said to me,
"There
is surely a future hope for you
I
have plans to make you prosper,
Plans
to give you hope,
Plans
for your future"
The
journey I was on was done
My
future lay before me
Therefore
I have hope
For
what I know not
My
future is secure
Hope
is my anchor
In
it my soul shall rest
Firm
and secure will I be
In
the loving arms of Christ

Believe

For
soon I will come to gather you to live forever with me
Yes,
I am coming soon declares the Lord God Almighty
Headed Home
With
my heart headed home
My
eyes are upon the road
I
look forward to seeing the face of my beloved Lord
Most
days I am stuck in the mire of this life
My
feet will not move
Stuck
am I, wondering if I will ever move again
Than
the hand of the Lord reaches out to me
He
pulls me out of the mire I'm in
He
sets me upon my feet
He
points the way to my home above
He
beckons me to walk with Him
He
tells me of His great love as we go
Hand
in hand we walk
Along
the road to Heaven
Upon
His face I see His great love for me
My
heart then knows
We
are headed home
To
my final resting place
For
all of eternity
Stand in Royalty
The
royal king in Heaven above has chosen me as His own
Upon
me He has placed His royal sign
It
gives to me all the rights as a subject of the King
All
my sins have been washed away by His blood
All
He sees is one He loves
One
He has chosen as royalty
He
beckons me to draw close to Him and sets me at His side
There
I stand and worship Him
My
Lord of Lords and King of Kings
Never
will I fear anything
When
I stand with my King
For
under His rule all obey His righteous laws
No
one can harm a child of the King
He
is my protector
So
stand will I in the Royal Court of my Lord God Almighty
Stand
will I by His side to rule under His guidance
For
I have believed His message of love
He
has covered me with His grace
Under the Eye of the Almighty
Under
the eye of the Almighty
I
unfurl my wings and fly
No
shadow of doubt holds me back
From
His majestic sky
Through
the blood of the cross
My
sins exist no more
I
am clean and unburdened
As
I sail into the sky
My
soul soars in freedom
And
sings as it goes
Praises
of Honor and Glory
To
the Lamb of God
Fly
than I must
With
my soul set upon Him
Never
will I falter
When
He guides my path
Storms
will try to knock me out of the sky
But
when I fly in formation
With
God in the lead
My
path will not be broken by earthly things
So
today I soar
With
my wings spread wide
I
will follow the Lord Almighty
And
not fall aside
The
freedom to fly unfettered
Is
God's gift to all
Who
believe in the greatest sacrifice of love
That
sets us free
So
look to the Heavens
Follow
the path of God
Let
no doubts weigh you down
From
soaring in God's love
Out of Control
When
God enters into my heart
He
brings joy, love, and peace
All
that is out of control in my life
He
seeks to put under His Hand
He
sets within my heart
A
yearning to follow Him
He
directs my thoughts and leads me
On
the path that I should take
Chaos
that once reigned in me
Is
swept aside by His hand
Into
my life comes peace and order
That
only He can give
So
when life seems out of control
With
no rhyme or reason within
Yield
will I to my Heavenly Father
His
peace and order will reign
My New Home
In
my mind's eye arises a picture I will one day see
For
it is of my future home where God will welcome me
It
is the New Jerusalem that will by my home
It
will be the city where I will walk with God
He
will not be hidden from those who dwell there
He
will walk and talk with me along its golden paths
He
will provide for me all that I need
The
River of Life and Tree of Life will sustain me
Never
will I fear or be ill again
For
no curse of man will follow me there
The
Lord God Almighty will forever reign
His
light will shine forever in this City of God
Christ
Jesus will come to earth once more
He
will escort me to my new eternal home

dependance upon you
To
live each day for you
To
look to you alone for wisdom
O
Lord, how can I express
All
these things
Except
to love you, to worship you
And
bring glory alone to you
Unto Thee Oh Majestic Lord
Unto Thee Oh Majestic Lord
Do I raise my voice in praise
Only Thou art worthy
Of man's adoration
For You alone are Creator
All beauty upon the earth
Was created by you
Reminding man of your glory
You created man in your image
To have a relationship with you
To love you and
To bring glory unto Yourself
Let all men see Your glory
In the beauty you created
Let each man raise their voice
In adoration and worship
unto Thee
Each Morning
Each morning as I wake
Heavenward I look
My voice singing
Hallelujah to the Almighty
For only He is worthy
Of praise and worship
For He is my God
In Him I will trust
For all time and forever more
He alone stands
As the One true God
Mighty in strength and power
Come then before Him
Bowing in His presence
For only He is worthy
Of our complete adoration
True Worship
When human words
Are not enough
To praise my mighty Lord
What do you do
The Spirit within me
Fills my soul with love
Speaking for me in heavenly words
He praises my majestic God
He fills my soul
With the truth about God
He guides what words I have
In true worship of my Savior
Even when human words
Are not enough
I know my true worship
Reaches to Heaven praising God
Exalting God
Oh glorious One
Oh majestic Lord
To thee alone
Belongs all worship and praise
Oh ruler supreme
Over all the earth
Let all mankind
Praise you forevermore
Oh Creator God
Alone you spoke
All that is present
Into existence
Let man behold
Your true Holiness
Singing praises alone
To Thee and Thee alone
For there is no other God
Than you O Father
To Thee we come humbly
Exalting Thee for all eternity
Hallelujah
Jesus is coming again
Hallelujah!
He is coming in the clouds
Hallelujah!
His face is shining brilliantly
Hallelujah!
His eyes are like fire
Hallelujah!
He is all powerful
Hallelujah!
Yet He is all comforting
Hallelujah!
Worship the Savior
Hallelujah!
For only He is worthy
Hallelujah!
How Lovely Thou Art
O my God, how lovely thou art
To thee all praise and honor belong
For from the beginning of time
And forever more thou art my king
For thou, O Lord, are mighty
Thy strength is incomparable
Thy glory gleams like gold
Thy love reaches out to all
I bow to thee in reverence
For thou art my creator and savior
Thou has given love and life to me
To thee I pledge my allegiance
Listen To Him
What can I do but praise God
He has given life to me
Both here on the earth
And eternally in Heaven above
I will worship only Him
For only He is worthy
Of all my praise and gratitude
Now and evermore
Let everyone on earth realize
Only He can give them life
For there is no other way
To gain His gift of grace
Therefore listen to Him
Do not ignore His voice
Accept his mercy
Given to all who will believe
He Alone is Deserving
Oh how the Lord
Deserves worship and praise
Oh how the Lord
Is the only worthy one
He alone is mighty
All men to Him will bow
Great is our God
Worship Him in humbleness
For He has chosen us
To lavish His love on
He freely gives to all
But all do not choose Him
Choose this day for yourself
To worship our sovereign God
Fall upon your knees before Him
Blessing Him forever more
Only He is Worthy
All glory, honor, and praise
Belong only to God
For only He is worthy
To be worshipped
The Creator is He
The Redeemer is He
He brought life to man
And saved us through His Son
Let us remember God's plan
That He set forth long ago
He desires a relationship with man
And provided a way to Himself
Praise Him every moment
Let your heart love only Him
For He is the only one
Who is worthy of glory and honor
Come O Lord, Come
My soul cries out to Thee
Come O Lord, come
Live within me
Let your Spirit guide me
My heart cries out to Thee
Let me love Thee
As You deserve
For you first loved us
Come O Lord, come
Hear my songs of praise
For only you merit
All worship, honor, and praise
Come O Lord, come
Is the cry of my heart
For you are the Savior of the world
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Wake Up O People
God has given to His followers
His righteous words of life
He has spoken to each believer
And told us how to live
He came to earth to save us
From certain death
Yet man ignored His Son
And rejected God Himself
Wake up oh people
Turn and listen to God
His plan of salvation
Is not hidden from us
Embrace His every word
Seek God earnestly
Live under Him
Accept His salvation for yourself
Then worship God
With every fiber of your soul
Fall on your knees before Him
For He is the great I AM!
Sing Unto the Lord -
Joyfully sing unto the Lord
Your songs of worship and praise
Thankfully fall on your knees
In gratitude for His blessings
Confess your sins to Him
Claiming His forgiveness
Ask in Jesuss' name
For the desires of your soul
For God loves and blesses those
Who believe in and seek after Him
Covered in His Grace
Christ gave up all He had
To come to the earth as a man
He gave up His life for us
So we might be covered in His grace
He is the King of Kings
Forever reigning on high
Yet He understood God's plan
For His life to be a ransom for us
Without sin He lived on earth
Still experiencing total humanity
He willingly died horrifically
So man can be covered in His grace
Come unto Him in humility
For He is our Lord and King
Bow before Him in worship and praise
For only He can cover us in His grace
Majestic Elohim
O Majestic Lord
Creator of all
Elohim is your name
God above all gods
Only thou art holy
None beside you
Only unto you are
Songs of praise raised
Let all of creation
Worship thee with honor
For only thou art Holy
O God Elohim
The Lord Alone is God
The
Lord alone is God
None
other can compare
He
alone created everything
He
alone can destroy it
Man
in his arrogance
Tries
to claim for himself
The
power that is not his
But
is only God's
But
the Lord alone
Is
all powerful
He
alone can build or destroy
All
of mankind
Therefore
rely totally
On
the Lord your God
Only
He can care for you
He
alone is JEHOVAH
The Almighty Powerful God
The
Lord is all-powerful
Yet
I seem not to remember this
He
can cast out demons
But
I trust Him not with my life
What
a fool I am
Relying
on my own strength
When
there is the creator
Looking
out for me
Let
me always step aside
Out
of His way
For
when I do not do this
I
hamper his work in me
Lord
God Almighty
Let
me remember who you are
Never
let me forget
That
you are all powerful
Be Not Proud
Be
not proud
All
glory belongs to God
Everything
we can do
Is
because of Him
Think
not highly of yourself
Give
all glory to God
He
enables man to succeed
Nothing
we do surpasses Him
Wake
each day and ask
God
- what do you want me to d
That
will glorify you
And
only you not me
For
God wants us to forever
Glorify
Him
On
earth and In Heaven above
Only
He deserves glory
Worthy
Without your grace
I could not come
Before you Oh God
For your righteousness
And your holiness
Could not look upon me
But through your Son
I have been made
Pure in you sight
So as I come
Before your throne
I bow in reverence
For you Oh God
Are worthy of worship
From all mankind
Today I Turn
To my Savior I turn today in gratefulness

For He leads and guides me
And never leaves me
He is a light unto my path

Pointing
to your power and might
Man
looks within himself
For
his own power and strength
He
ignores the Creator of all there is
Setting
himself above God
God
looks down upon this earth
Looking
for those who worship Him
For
He has prepared a way for us
To
be justified to Him
He
sent His only begotten Son
To
die so we may live
Upon
Himself He bore our sins
So
we maybe pure again
When
we who believe in Christ's sacrifice
Obey
God in reverence
We
see God for who He is
And
worship the Great I AM
Oh
Lord my God
I
hear your call
I
bow before your throne
I
come in reverance to worship you
The
one true living God
Oh Faithful Lord
Oh
Faithful Lord
Thy
righteousness is pure and holy
It
covers and protects my soul
Form
the darkness that surrounds me
Oh
Faithful Lord
Lover
of my soul thou art
I
call out to you each day
Knowing
you listen to what is in my heart
Oh
Faithful Lord
Who
rescues me from death
You
hold me in your hands
Keeping
me safe and secure
Oh
Faithful Lord
Who
sees what is right for me
Guide
my every step today
So
that I may glorify thee
Oh
Faithful Lord
Holy
thou art
Into
thy presence I humbly come
Loving
thee with all my heart
The Center of my Heart
I
search Oh Lord within myself
And
find I have pushed you out
In
the center of my life I stand completely alone
I call out to you
And
frantically search
For
with out you I fail
From
the depths of my heart
Where
you are waiting for me
You
whisper my name
I
turn to see you standing beside me
Your
arms waiting to embrace me
You
call out and say to me
Come
and rest in me
Run
I do unto you
For
then I am not alone
I
fall on my knees and worship you
Oh
King of my life
Come
and return to your rightful place
Upon
the throne of my heart
Lead
and guide me this I pray
For
thou art the Center of my Heart
God's Generosity NEW!!!
From
time long ago
God
looked upon this earth
He
saw what He had made
He
declared it to be good
Sin
entered into the creation of our God
The
Beauty of the Earth
Has
been scarred by it
Evil
, fifth and wantonness took over
But
God in His mercy
Has
been generous to us
He
has not let go
Of
those He loves
He
forgives our sins
He
provides us with righteousness
He
cares for us abundantly
He
loves us
He
generously provides all that we need

your gratitude flow like a river
To
the throne of the Living God

POEMS
ABOUT EMBRACING ADVERSITY:
Out of Sorts - NEW!!!
I woke up today
Out of sorts
All manner of sinful thoughts
Running through my head
I prayed and beseeched God
For relief and peace
For my soul was in anguish
As these thoughts prevailed
Words from God entered my thoughts
Words of peace and comfort
He reminded me of His peace
He has given to me
His timing is perfect
Even in our times of stress
He asks us to remember
Our lives are in His hands
So with confidence only in Him
I truly can stand and say
You are my God
I will trust in only you
Coming Home
I'm coming home Lord
I'm coming home
Into your arms I long to run
Feeling your embrace
For far too long, Lord
I have strayed away
From you
Letting myself be tricked
For this world, O Lord
Draws my attention from you
Causing me to fall into sin
And worshipping idols
But I'm coming home, O Lord
Coming back to you
Falling on my knees in worship
Of the Lord of my life
Saddened
Today
my heart is saddened
By
the sins I commit
In
my own strength I continue
To
sin and sin and sin
But
Jesus reminds me
That
I belong to Him
My
sins of the past
Have
been forgiven
And
because He is in me
His
power will help me
To
fight each and every day
To
turn away from sin
Blessed
be my Lord
Who
loves me continually
Let
me always turn to Him
Giving
Him praise continually
Waiting
Sometimes
it is hard to wait
For
a prayer to be answered
We
often wonder if God has heard
And
is ignoring our request
Yet
He hears every prayer
The
answer is His to give
When
He has determined
The
time is just right
So
we need to be patient
Not
to give up hope
Answers
to prayer come
Only
in His timing
Wait
upon on the Lord
Praise
and worship Him
Give
thanks at all times
His
answer will come to you
Dependency Brings True Independence
No one likes to be dependent
Our independence is important
No one telling us what to do
No one ordering us around
Yet that is not true
For if we live like that
Satan is controlling us
We become His puppets
True independence is in
Being totally dependent on God
Letting Him lead and guide us
Obeying His Word
His way brings life everlasting
Joy, peace and love in our lives
Being a puppet of Satan
Brings eternal death and misery
Obedient In All Situations
It is in the little things
of life
That God wants us to obey
It is not the big things
that we do
That impress the Holy Lord
We wait to see what we can do
That will make others notice us
In service for Jesus
Only God does not want this
He wants us to obey
In all situations, at all times
Whether any person notices
For He is watching
Live therefore for Jesus
Being obedient in all things
To do His will alone
Thereby bringing glory to God
Who Am I
Who am I? I asked today
For I felt depressed and alone
I wondered why I was here at all
What am I here for
I called out to Jesus
Come near and comfort me
Please show me today
Your loving kindness
He called me to His Word
Over and over again I read
Of his love for me and
His plans for my life
Plans that are full of His mercy
Plans to lead and guide me
Plans not to harm me
Plans that are His for me
Now I know who loves me
I am reassured in Him
Whatever today holds
He loves and walks with me
I Fail
O Lord how I fail
In following your will
I seek to do it
In my own strength
And this is why I fail
Not in my strength
But only in thine
Will I succeed
Let me today
Be persistent
Always looking to thee
For your strength
You always provide
Exactly what is needed
Thanks be to God
For His everlasting grace
Striving
Striving to be like Jesus
Living as He did
Emulating His excellence
Is daunting to me
His virtues seem unattainable
His perfection above me
For He is God incarnate
Know one is like Him
But He came to earth
And provided us a way
To become Children of God
And inherit Life everlasting
We can become excellent
But only through Him
He provides us a way
To live as He does
Let Him teach you
To be excellent as He is
Strive in all you do
To emulate His virtues
Self Discipline
Self discipline is hard
It is not what humans want
Turning away voluntarily
Is not our nature
Yet the Believer is called
To display self control
In all areas of life
One cannot do this alone
In Christ alone is strength found
Daily giving up self control
Living in His Spirit
Relying totally on Him
Then and only then
Can men have self control
Looking to Jesus for everything
Turning against worldly passions
The rewards are tremendous
In Heaven above
Have an eternal perspective
Not an earthly one
Steadfastness
Have you ever had to wait
For something you hoped for
Waiting for Jesus to come again
Requires steadfastness
We know not the day
But are patient until then
For we have been promised
That He will come
Yet while we wait
We will suffer abuse
From those who scoff
At the Trinity
Have hopeful endurance
To live every day in Christ
For He was the perfect example
Of steadfastness
Morning Blues
Waking up today I felt
Lost and disorientated
Thoughts not from God
Entered in and disturbed me
O God, I do not like this
Rejoicing in you is right
Not listening to this world
Is what I want to be doing
God showed me that in Him
I can find peace and rest
Listening to Him, reading His Word
Fills my soul with Him
So now I know the cure
To those morning blues
Communing with Him
Brings rejoicing to my soul
Dirty or Pure
Each morning as I rise
To my closet I go
To dress myself for the day
And the master I serve
If that master is sin
Then I put on worldly garments
Dirty and vile are they
Revealing my corrupt nature
If my master is Jesus
Then I put on clean pure garments
That are provided for me
And reflect Christ's nature
Dirty and leading to death
Or pure leading to eternal life
Which garments will I choose
The ones Christ has provided for me
Stand
Standing for Jesus
Is what we are called to do
In this world filled with sin
We have been given
His full armor for protection
As we fight for His kingdom
We are His soldiers
Following His will for our lives
Bringing all glory unto Him
For He has the final victory
Satan will lose
So stand firm and fight
In A Heap
On my own I am nothing
No power is in me
My strength fails
I am in a heap on the floor
I try hard and fail miserly
Tears flow from my soul
Crying out in confusion
I ask why
God reaches down to me
He tells me to rely on Him
Quit trying on my own
Rest in His strength
Only joined to Him
Only relying on Him
Only then, wrapped in Him
Will I come through
Discipline or Death
God's discipline is never enjoyable
It shows us our sin
It shows us where we are wrong
And have not followed Jesus
Yet what would we be without it
Sinners headed for damnation
An eternal life of separation
From the loving eternal Father
Listen as He speaks
It is for our own good
He will show us our errors
So we seek forgiveness from Him
His ways are perfect
Leading to joy in Him
What would you rather choose
His discipline or death
Cloud Of Blackness
I stood in a cloud of blackness
Totally surrounded by filth
It was my own sin
That was engulfing me
My sight was darkened
Light was obscured
Sin was holding me a prisoner
From the light of my Lord
I called out in repentance
Confessing my sins to God
Asking that my sight be restored
To see His light from above
I felt the Spirit within me
Restoring my soul
I opened my eyes and saw
God's light of Righteousness
Masks
Rip away my masks O Lord
For you know me inside out
But I , O Lord, hide from you
Trying to bury the hurt inside
But why, O God, I ask
For you see the hurt
You cry for me
When I don't depend on you
Be anxious for nothing
Give every burden to you
You beseech me
You will carry it for me
You promise my rest and peace
To you I surrender every hidden hurt
Your joy and peace
Now fills my soul
Blocked
Ready was I to serve my Lord
Stepping out without
Consulting Him
Volunteer did I in what I thought
Would be areas of service
Worthwhile in deed
Yet I did not pray and seek
His guidance for these services
And blocked they became to me
Each area that was blocked
I realized I had not spent need time
On my knees in prayer to God
Now as I ask forgiveness from God
I relinquish these areas of service
Asking Him to lead and guide me
Conviction
Conviction of sin inside me
Is what turned my eyes to God
That overwhelming feeling
Of failing everyone
When I put my faith
In Jesus as my Savior
He cleansed me within
And the Holy Spirit entered me
Now He convicts me
Of the sin that I commit
But through Christ I am forgiven
A member of God's family am I
Conviction now is good
It is the Holy Spirit reminding me
To let God have control in me
Not to return to my selfish ways
I am convicted that only God
Is the one true way
To live for His glory is my goal
And to forever be with Him
Life is Spinning
There are times in life
When all seems to spin
No one in control
All hope is gone
You get caught up
In the futility of it all
Nothing seems rightNo rhyme or reason to anything
The only thing
That saves me
Is the anchor
That I am tied to
As the ocean of life
Is in furry around me
My soul is anchored to Christ
Only He can save me
Insurmountable
Before me rose a mountain
Looking up it seemed insurmountable
In my own strength
Never could I reach the summit
Yet strong desire rose within
To climb to the heavens
For there is where God lives
High above men and all my sin
Over the mountain came rain
Rain that is the love from heaven
It cleanses me from sin
For it is the blood of Christ
Christ reached down and took my hand
Through Him I am cleansed
We climbed to the summit
There I heard all of Heaven singing
In praise and worship to Jesus
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
With their voices I joined
Worshipping and praising my King
Devoted to Destroying
Long ago in the days of old
Joshua was devoted to destruction
For God told him to destroy
Anything that was against Him
For God desired His people on this earth
To be fully devoted to Him
To turn not to earthly things
That would take their eyes off of Him
Today we must be equally devoted
To destroying earthly things
That takes our eyes off of Jesus
Causing us to abandon Him
Look to our Savior
With eyes opened wide
Be devoted to destroying anything
That takes your eyes off of Him
Broken Spirit
My
spirit is broken within me
Only
on the Lord can I rely
Situations
have arisen
That
only He can guide
My
heart cries out in pain
For
comfort from my Lord
Only
He can give me peace
And
bind the wounds I have
Come
Lord Jesus unto me
Let
thy Spirit be in my heart
Let
your peace cover me
Guide
what I cannot
Bring
glory to you out of my pain
Let
my eyes be on you alone
Let
me worship whil I wait
For
you name to be glorified
Storms
Storms
of life overcome us
They
swamp our shallow lifeboat
We
shake with fear inside ourselves
As
waves wash over us
Yet
we need not be swamped with life
For
Jesus is there with us
He
can calm all the waves of life
That
threaten to wash us overboard
We
need to believe in Him
Letting
Him take control
Letting
our faith rule our hearts
Letting
Him work in our lives
He
can calm any wave
That
threatens our lives
He
replaces fear with His peace
Calming
the storms in our lives
Details
Be
not overwhelmed by life
Do
not get lost in the details
Let
my love flow over you
See
and feel it in everything you do
For
I am there in each small thing you do
Nothing
you do is left to chance
Everything
you feel matters to me
My
hand is always upon you
Look
for me in what you do
Focus
not on the deed
For
when your eyes are upon me
Your
heart is listening to me
Let
my joy and peace fill you up
Let
my hand guide yours
Then
every detail of your life
Is
done in loving service for me
Empty and Full in Christ
Empty
was I before I knew my Lord
All
things I did were of no consequence
Haphazard
were they, unplanned were they
Leading
my life nowhere
Then
one day as I bumbled my way through life
I
fell on my face in tears
So
lost was I in my earthly life
I
mattered not to anyone
The
Lord came along side me
He
held His hand out to me
He
called my name lovingly
I
looked into His compassionate eyes
He
spoke to me of His love
That
would fill my heart with His joy
He
held me in His arms
As
I accepted His salvation
Now
I go for the each day
In
excited anticipation
Knowing
each step I take
Is
guided by His hand
No
longer am I empty
I
am filled to the brim
With
His great love and compassion
I
am empty of sin and full of His love
Rely
Relying
on God is what I must do
For
He has called me to trust Him
To
seek daily His will for my life
Never
letting go of Him
Letting
Him guide me every day
Seeking
His comfort and hope
Not
letting worries get in the way
Of
seeing the path He has set for me
He
turns each morning and extends His Hand
Waiting
for me to rely on Him
For
He will walk with me every day
Through
all situations that come my way
When
the day is done and rest comes to me
He
will cover me with His blanket of love
His
rest and peace He will place in my heart
On
God I can rely
Formed - Deformed
God
formed all things
He
declared them good
Sin
came into the earth
Deforming
all God had made
Sin
caused the world
To
become ugly and dirty
Yet
God in His mercy
Wants
to restore the world unto Him
He
sent His only Son
To
die for out sins
Through
His cleansing blood
God
declares us righteous before Him
Sin
still abounds
Deforming
our world
But
God has given unto us
His
grace that overcomes all
When
Christ comes again
Gathering
us unto Himself
What
God has formed
Sin
no longer will deform
Dreams
Dreams
plague me with doubt
They
invade the depths of my soul
All
joy they completely drain
From
deep inside me
When
I awake they follow me
Plaguing
my waking moments
With
fear and anxiety
So
that I feel exhausted
Yet
I know the dreams are not reality
What
was there will not come true
To
Jesus I cry for comfort
As
these dreams haunt my thoughts
Come
Lord I cry and take away this fear
Let
anxiety be replaced with your peace
For
you are my Lord and God
In
you I will trust
Life's Storms
Difficulties
in life come at me
They
bring waves of grief and despair
They
wash over me
Like
a uncontrollable storm
I'm
battered and beaten
Tossed
to and fro
The
ship that is my life
Is
nearly sunk by my life's storms
Yet
Jesus is master over the wind and waves
If
He can control them
Surely
He can calm the storm
That
is raging in me
It
is I who am holding Him back
when
I do not let Him work
For
with just one word
My
life's storms He can calm
Daily I Walk
Daily
in this world I walk
Seeing
and hearing its voice
When
instead I should be listening
To
the voice of God
The
world speaks loudly
It
demands my attention
The
still small voice of God
Asks,
but does not demand to be heard
The
earth's voice is loud and crude
It
is self seeking and self serving
God's
voice is quietly strong
It
provides life eternal
This
day I will strive to hear
God's
voice over the earth's
For
when I listen to His voice
I
walk into His light
Called To Stand
Called to stand am I
Convicted
and I to serve
Inspite
of what is facing me
To
stand for my Lord
What
ever comes my way
In
all times of my life
God
has called me by my name
To
stand for Him
He
will not leave me
He
will cover me with His love
No
matter what I face
He
will lead and guide me
Called
to stand am I
In
the presence of my Lord
No
nattier what I face
I
stand not alone
Yoke of Fear
Weariness
within my heart
Rises
up to overtake me
It
threatens to drown me
In
a sea of fear
Burdens
that I carry
Cause
me to stoop
Under
their weight
I
fear failure
My
heart knows deep within
That
the fear is the yoke
That
is holding me down
From
all God has for me
Lord
I take your yoke of peace
Upon
my soul today
Under
your yoke may I rest in you
May
my heart be filled with your joy
Discouragement Overtakes Me
Discouragement
overtakes me
When
dedicated I try to be
The
hands and feet of Jesus
Everywhere
I may be
In
my own strength I struggle
To
show others the love of Christ
My
heart becomes heavy
With
each action that weighs me down
To
Christ I turn totally undone
I
fall at His feet in despair
He
puts His arms around me
Into
His arms I fall
Let
my strength carry you
Let
my hand guide you
For
I will carry the burdens
He
says unto me
To
Him I turn and smile
In
you oh Lord I stand
For
you are my strength and refuge
To
you I dedicate my heart
I Am Determined
I
am determined within my soul
To
love the Lord my God
I
am determined within my heart
To
follow where He leads me
I
am determined to let nothing
Keep
me from obeying His will
I
am determined to tell other
Of
His saving grace
Just
when I have made up my mind
To
follow and honor Christ
My
humanness rises up
My
resolve falls away
Only
when I humble myself
Turning
my life over to Christ
Then
all I do and say
Can
be determined by the Mighty One
Adrift Am I
Adrift
am I
Upon
the sea of life
Waves
of doubt overtake me
Tossed
about am I
Lost
and abandoned am I
By
winds of confusion
They
overtake me
Throwing
me off course
Only
when I look to see
If
God is with me
Do
I realize and see
He
walks on water for me
He
calms each fear
He
removes each doubt
He
soothes my heart
With
His loving care
Preserve
must I
Without
doubt or fear
Through
lifes trials and troubles
For
God is always near
Upon Eagle's Wings
Upon
eagles wings may I fly
Into
thy Holy Presence
May
I see and know your comfort
May
I hope in all that your are
For
your are the Ruler of the Universe
Lift
me on high that I may know
The
great love you have for me
Surround
me with thy angles
So
I man not slip and fall
Speak
unto me thy words of comfort and love
For
thou art my Holy God
Unto
you I cry for only that can save me
To
the weak you give strength
To
the weary you give hope
You
lift us up so we will not fall
For
thou art the Everlasting Lord
The Shepherd's Voice
The
Lord calls My name
Do
I recognize His voice
Or
do other noises distract me
From
His call
Things
of this world
Call
unto me
Whose
voice do I hear
Which
do I follow
My
Lord's voice will lead and guide me
He
will protect me
The
world's call will lead me
Into
decay and destruction
List
must I for His voice
To
guide my every step
Listen
must I for His call
For
he is my Shepherd
Shine Your Light
Shine
your light upon my path
So
I may see which way to walk
Let
my heart listen to you
To
discern your will for me
Let
me put aside myself
To
be guided by your hand
For
ever day situations arise
Baffled
by them am I
I
yearn to follow in your steps
Not
to venture out on my own
Only
you, Oh Lord, see
What
today holds for me
Guide
me in each step I take
And
each decision I make
So
when the close of this day comes
I
have honored and served thee
When I Fall Apart
Come
Oh Lord into my heart
Show
me what to do
When
the unexpected happens
And
I fall completely apart
Life
throws at me insurmountable mountains
I
look up at what I must over come
I
completely break down
Failing
around am I in utter confusion
Then
your words enter my heart
Be
patient, stand firm in me
For
I am in control of all that goes on
In
every day of your life
So
Lord, I cry out to you
Show
me what to do
For
In am completely dependent on you
For
your love and peace in me
The Crossroad of My Life
The
crossroads at which I stand
Perplex
me to no end
I
see which way I want to go
Yet
I am hemmed in
The
Lord asks for me to lay aside
My
future plans and thoughts
He
ask me to let them die away
So
He can guide my path
Yet
I do not want to let go
Of
what I can control
For
when I do I fear
Life
will spin completely out of control
Yet
I know He has plans for me
That
will guide me closer to Him
Oh
Lord I pray
Clearly
show me the way
To
discern your path for me each day
As
I seek to follow in your ways
Trapped
Trapped
am I by circumstances beyond my control
Surgery
has made independent mobility impossible
Pain
inhibits and exclude activities I enjoy doing
My
independence has been cut off
My
soul wants to scream out
How
will I endure this time
All
I want to be able to do
Is
return to normal life
I
long to leave this house on my own
Not
to have to wait on others
Not
to feel like I am putting them out
From
what they want to do
How
my soul aches for those who feel as I do
But
for some of them it is permanent
For
them life will never
Be
normal again
I
know in time my life
Will
return to its normal balance
Independence
to go on my own
Is
not forever gone
My
foot will heal
Back
to work I will go
Busy
once again I will be
Looking
for time to myself
Oh
Lord only to you can I turn
For
peace and patience during this time
Restore
to me thy joy of life
As
I am here at home
But
let this time be a lesson
That
I will never for get
For
life traps us in may ways
And
only you can carry me through life's inhibiting pains
Inside to Outside
Inside
me have been things that have blocked my hearing
They
have made me deaf to your words
Outside
I have felt alone and in deep despair
Nothing
I do honors you
Inside
today I have listed and heard your love song to me
The
melody that tells of your love for me rings in my ears
My
heart is lifted into thy presence
My
soul is healed by thee
Outside
my face smiles
It
does not cry in fear of what is happening to me
For
from within comes the hope I need to face each day
From
inside comes my reason to live - the love of my Lord
Outside
my life will show to others the joy within me
From
inside to outside Christ touches all of me
Keep Me From Drowning
Oh
Lord surround me today
Send
your angels to uphold me
Be
in me I pray
Keep
me from drowning
For
darkness comes over me
I
feel myself drowning
In
fear and worry
That
are overtaking me
No
strength of my own
Will
pull me out
Of
the abyss of despair
I
am falling deeper into
Only
your mighty hand
Can
break my fall
Reaching
down you can lift me up
And
restore you joy in me
Looking
up as I fall
I
see your hand touching me
Up
you lift me
Into
your presence I come
You
wash away all memory
Of
the abyss I was in
Your
comfort replaces all that over took me
You
mighty hand never leaves me
Praise
ant thanks be to God
For
His overflowing love
He
is with me at all times
Comforting
my soul
Hold Me Tight
Keep
me in your arms today
Hold
me tight I pray
Darkness
fills my soul with dread
Let
your light shine inside of me
Let
me look and see your love
Let
me feel your arms around me
In
my heart I know you're near
Yet
I fell not thy presence
Oh
Lord my God I call to you
Knowing
you are with me
Life
me up and hold me tight
Let
me rest in thy loving arms
I Turn From His Truth
In
the image of God
Created
was I
To
show His glory to others
To
worship only Him
Yet
each and every day
I
turn from the truth of His word
I
listen to what the world says
I
listen to the deceiver
Surely
you can be like God
Knowing
all there is to know
Surely
you can rule yourself
Without
God's word to guide you
When
I listen and act upon this
I
slip and fall on my face
Into
the mire of evil I sink
Turning
back to God to be saved
In
to the mire He reaches down
He
pulls me out of my pit
When
I repent He washes me
Cleansed
before Him I stand
His
word is my guide
On
how to live each day
It
tells me all I need to know
To
walk with Him each day
So
listen will I to His words
Following
what He says
Then
will I fulfill His creation plan
To
glorify and worship only Him
My Heart Aches Within
My
heart within me aches
I
wake in deep despair
My
body feels broken
Unrested,
unsettled am I
Search
do I for why
I
feel this way
My
life is not broken
Yet
it all seems so hard to bear
Sleep
evades my soul
My
mind will not rest
The
day that lies before me
Is
a weight upon my soul
Yet
I know I'm not alone
God
is with me all the time
To
Him I must turn
Yielding
all to Him
Oh
Lord I call out
Come
and carry me today
Let
your love flow over me
Washing
my aches away
Let me feel your hand
Upon
my soul today
Let
your love, hope, and joy
Be
what I feel today
Training for Reigning
Why
do I supper I cry out to the Lord
Why
am I not healed
Why
do I fail
When
I am seeking to do your will
God
wants me to know
That
I suffer not in vain
My
suffer is part of the training
He
is leading me through
Through
this training I am learning
How
I will reign in Heaven
Each
thing that I suffer is
Training
for reigning with Him
In
each suffering that comes my way
I
must look for the training
For
when I am called home to Heaven
Full
trained to reign will I be
What Remains
Deep
from within my heart
I
call out to the Lord
Take
away from me
This
pain that plagues me so
I
wish not to walk
Each
day with this pain
For
I have asked to be relieved
But
yet it remains
Why
oh Lord, does it remain
Why
will you not heal my leg
It
is a desire of my heart
To
be physically whole
God
answer me with a tender tone
What
I let remain will be used to glorify me
Others
will see your faith
When
you walk with me
Let
me use your pain
As
I see fit
I
will give you the strength
To
make it through each day
Let
each step you take,
Each
pain you feel
Reminds
you of the love
I
have for you
Walk
in my strength
Your
pain is mine to use
Who Am I to Judge
Who
am I to judge
Or
to hold a grudge
For
when I say Christ is in me
Do I
really let it show
Some
days it's all about me
See
how well I'm doing
Those
are the days that Jesus replies
But
what about my saving grace
For
all that I am, is given by Him
In
whom I say I believe
Nothing
I do upon my own
Reflects
His glory to others
Step
back must I and trust in Him
For
all that happens to me
For
when I let His love shine through me
His
grace will call others to Him
Anxiety
Anxiety
fills me up
From
what I do not know
It
concerns me and holds me hostage
A
prisoner in my soul
God
reaches out and covers me with His love
Seek
me he says
For
you are safe within me
I
seek you Lord
Guide
me along your path
Hold
me up so that I may not fall
Joy
fills my soul
The
anxiety falls away
For
I have been promised
Safety
for my soul
Perfection is not needed
Perfection
is not needed
The
Lord whispered to me
Come
to me with a willing heart
Get
to know me, understand my ways
You
strive for perfection
but
I have already given you that
by
my blood being shed for you
In
my eyes your have been made perfect
Focus
not on what you think you should do
But
turn your eyes upon me
Listen
for my voice
Follow
my lead
Do
my will for you
Then
the Joy of your Lord will fill your heart
Peace
will enter in
Leave
perfection in My hands
The
hands that were pierced for you
Pool of Life
In
the pool of life
I
floated aimlessly
I
struggled to keep from drowning
in
the turbulence that surrounded me
I
called out to the Lord to come me and give me peace
All
at once I was surrounded
by
the calm and peace of Him
I
felt at rest supported
by
the arms of my Lord
Rest
in my peace he told me
Struggle
not again
For
thou will not drown in the turbulence of life
Rest
and be still
Let
me fill your soul
With
my peace that is everlasting
My Tears
My
grief exploded
from
within
into
a waterfall of tears
Fast
and furious
they
flowed from me
like
a river overflowing its banks
Jesus
catches all my tears
in
His precious hands
He
transforms them
into
a healing balm
to
calm my grief stricken soul
With
this balm He touches me
Enfolding
me in His arms
He
strokes my soul
as
no other can
Peace
comes to me
He
has taken my grief upon Himself
and
replaced it with His Perfect Peace
It's Dark, Lord
It’s
dark, Lord
I
can’t see which way to go
Doubts
have clouded my vision
Fear
has gripped my heart
Which
way should I turn?
Which
way should I go?
Trust
in me, Oh child
Let
faith be your guide
Turn
on the light of your heart
You
will see which way to go
You
will clearly see me
Come Bearing Your Soul
Come
to the Lord at this moment
Come
bearing your soul
Tell
Him all that is in your heart
He
yearns to hear from you
He
looks at you and reaches out
Ready
to touch your heart
He
looks at you and waits patiently
For
you to call upon Him
Call
His name
Have
faith in Him
He
will hear what you say
Doubt
and fear will be driven out
Peace
will enter in
Rain of Discontentment
Rain
came down upon my head
Rain
of discontentment
Tried
as I might to stay dry
Envy
grew in my heart
Discontentment
was drowning me
What
others had I lusted after
Until
I was soaked with jealously
God
reached down to save my soul
He
lifted me above the storm
Looking
into my eyes He said
“I
am all you need”
Instead
of drowning in despair
I
now see the abundance He provides
Grace,
faith, hope and love
Fall
upon my head
These
drops of living water feed my soul each day
In
the last day a storm will come
to
each and every one
Protected
I will be by the umbrella of Love
my
Lord spreads over me
The Solitude of Our Lord
I
stood among the crowd
Yet
I was utterly alone
Not
one to turn to
No
one who would listen
Loneliness
crept in
Followed
by fear
I
felt abandoned
by
all around me
Who
shall I turn to
when
I need help
Who
will stand by me
when
I fail
Alone
I stood
despair
filled my soul
At
that moment my eyes were opened
Standing
before me was Jesus Christ
His
arms were widespread
A
smile upon His face
Never
will I leave you or forsake you
He
said to me
Alone
you may stand in this world
But
lonely you will never be
when
you seek the Solitude of the Lord
The Ladder of Christ
In
the midst of darkness
I
moved about
looking
for a way out
Stumbling
and falling
I
felt each wall
that
closed in upon me
Afraid
of drowning
in
this sea of sin
I
cried unto my Lord
I
fell upon
the
ladder of Christ
that
led out of my prison of sin
As
I looked up
a
light appeared
to
show me which way to climb
Each
step I took
raised
me out of the hole
where
darkness held my soul
Light
entered in
It
grows stronger and brighter
with
each step I take as Christ enters my soul
The
ladder of Christ
will
lead me home
Its
light will guide my way
One
day my climb to Jesus above
will
be completely done
The
last step I take will be into His arms
The Seeds of Christ
Jesus
planted within my soul
the
seed of His joy
It
is growing inside me
struggling
to stay alive
Some
days I water it
and
let the sun shine upon it
But
most days I close it up
in
the closet of despair
Jesus
spoke to me saying
Let
my joy grow in you,
Let
it spring forth into full bloom
For
within you I live
guarding
your heart, mind and soul
His
joy fill me up
until
I bloom in Him
Then
others see upon my face
the
exquisite beauty of the
Joy
of my Lord
Shadows Crept In
Shadows
crept into the depths of my soul
All
that was there was in a shroud of doubt
Fog
blinded my heart to the love of God
Cold,
wet, dreary despair filled me up
Shivering
I sat, completely alone
Paralyzed
by fear
In
the midst of the fog
On
the horizon arose
A
light from Heaven above
As
it advanced
Into
the depths of my soul
The
shadows rolled away
My
heart awoke
In
a light of love
Coming
from the Master’s eyes
His
hands of love
Reached
out to me
Chasing
my despair away
As
I looked
Into
His eyes of love
His
light entered my soul
No
longer do I stand in fear, completely unable to move
For
now I dance in the Light of the Lord
His
love has set me free
Accepting What I Have for You
Do
you accept what I have for you
The
Lord asked me one day
With
my salvation
Comes
my plan of life for you
When
you accepted me as your Lord and Savior
Into
you I came to live forever
I
ask you to accept my will for you
To
embrace the path I will travel with you
Turn
not away from what I ask
Seek
not your own counsel
For
when you do
You
shall fall into a pit of mire
Accept
what I want you to do
Trust
me in all that you do
Seek
to follow my path for you
For
it leads you home to me
In My Own Strength
In
my own strength I struggle along
Trying
to follow God's plan for me
Each
step I take, each thing I say
Leads
me deeper into misery
For
I fail and fall with each step I take
When
I travel without my Lord
"Come,"
He says, "Travel with me
I
will show you the way
I
will carry your burdens for you
I
will teach you what to say"
Victorious
I feel when I travel with Him
He
guides my every step
He
open my eyes and lets me see
The
path He sets for me
When
I stumble, He picks me up
When
I falter, He carries me
Through
my mountains of despair
Victorious
am I
When
I live under my Father's care
Restore Unto Me
Oh
Lord, restore unto me the joy of your salvation
Enter
into me and fill me with your peace
I
feel alone and deserted away from your touch of love
My
soul cries out in anguish to feel your hand upon me
Guide
me and show me which way to go
For
I do not see clearly the path you want me to take
Lead
me now and I will follow in your foot steps Oh Lord
Carry
me and I will rest in your comforting arms
Oh
Lord, in you I trust to guide my every step
For
thou art my God, my Creator, my King, my Salvation
The Lover of my Soul art thou
The
World Judges
The
world judges
by what is seen
by what is heard
by what is known
God
judges through the blood of the Lamb
He
no longer sees, hears, or knows our mistakes
For
when we have bowed before Him in humbleness
He
listens to our cries for forgiveness
Then
He bids us to rise and stand righteously before Him
Judge
not yourself or others according to the world's eyes
But
look and see others through the love in Christ's eyes
Awaken
in Despair
I
awaken today in despair not really knowing why
I
feel like hiding away from my pain
I
desire nothing more than letting my rage come forth
Shall
I cry
Shall
I shout
Shall
I stomp about
I
feel no joy in the day that comes
Why
am I angry when nothing has gone wrong
Oh,
Lord my God
You
called me today to feel your joy inside me
Tear
down the walls of the prison I'm in
Release
my soul so that I may feel
The
joy of my Lord inside me
Life
is Like a Window
My
life is like a window though which I look
I
see the world around me and interact with it
Sometimes
I keep the window shut as tight as I can
For
the world that is around me, troubles me
When
I open the window and let the world in
I
see its beauty and splendor
My
soul rejoices within
Sometimes
the window is foggy, the world disappears
I
do not see clearly or understand what is happening out there
A
crystal clear window lets me look and see
All
that is out there to influence me
The
Lord is that window through which I look
Through
His eyes I see the world that is around me
Sometimes
He clouds my vision
And
asks me to trust His guidance
To
lead me through murky paths
Sometimes
I see clearly the path that I should take
For
the Lord clears my vision and directs my path
The
Lord is the window of my life
Through
Him I see the Father above
Holding
His arms out to me
Life Arises
Sometimes
life arises to meet your face to face
One
looks at what is there and runs away in haste
But
what is there that troubles you doesn't go away
One
must deal with what is seen that falls in your way
So
turn and face the problem with Christ by your side
Tell
Him all that troubles you and let Him be your guide
He
will guide and hold you through what ever comes your way
Turn
and see His loving face, I love you He will say
Uphold Me Lord
My
spirit is low within me Lord
I
am discouraged and depressed
I
wish not to see anyone only to hide within myself
Yet
life does not stop, there are duties to perform
People
to see and talk to
Who
must not see the pain I hold
Yet,
Oh Lord, you see all that bothers me
The
pain, the hurt, the discouragement
All
that is within me
So
Lord, I pray, uphold me
Let
me heal within
So
others may see through me the peace that you bring
My Troubled Heart
My heart is troubled within me to the very depths of my soul
Circumstances
happen around me which I cannot control
Floods
of grief overcome me
My
soul longs for peace
What
will come out of all that has happened
What
will the future hold
Come,
Christ calls, come to me
Let
my Spirit fill your heart
Let
my Spirit give you my peace
Let
Him carry all your anxieties to the throne of God
For
only I am in control of all that takes place in your life
Step
back and rest in me alone
See
what I will do
My
promises are for those who believe
I
will not leave you
Oh
Lord - I surrender all to you
Carry
me into your presence
Hold
me and love me as I know you do
Refresh
me Oh Living God
Claimed by God
Be
in me today Oh Lord I pray
Claim
me as your own
Wrap
me in your precious arms
Let
me not stray from thee
Weariness
attacks me from all sides
Doubt
enters in
All
that I want to do is hide
Fear
attacks my soul
With
you in charge Oh Lord my God
Your
strength enters me
No
more will I walk in fear of this world
But
in your guiding light
The
darkness of doubt disappears
Your
life brings delight to my soul
No
more will I hide and cower in fear
But
stand in your mighty strength
For
you have claimed me as your own
Lost
I will never be
Forever
you will hold me close to your heart
Forever
you will rule in me
In Pain
I
arose this morning in pain
My
heart and soul ached within
Yet
I need to go into the world
And
act as if all is well
I
do not want to do
All
that is expected of me
Rather
I would hide within my self
And
drown in my pool of pain
How
do I go out and live
When
my heart wants to hide
Christ
calls my name
He
takes my hand
He
holds me tight to Him
His
love flows over me
Washing
away my pain
He
leads me out of my prison of pain
He
bandages my soul with His love
He
gives me His body and blood
To
nourish me within
His
strength enters me through His Spirit
All
that I felt is gone
For
in Him and through Him this day I will walk
Pain
will not grip my heart
I
will stand and testify to all I meet
Of
His great love for me
Inconsolable
As
a baby can be in consolable with a tummy that hurts
So
am I when grief enters my heart
All
one can do for that little one is wrap your arms around them
So
God does for me what I do for that baby
He
holds me tight and whispers in my ear words of comfort and reassurance
He
lets me cry and work through my grief until my pain is alleviated
He
solaces my sorrow
He
soothes my soul
He
encourages me to rest in Him
Inconsolable
can I be when grief enters my soul
But
the Almighty God promises to comfort and preserve me
Through
Him my inconsolableness is replaced by His strength
So
that I may walk with Him
Remember
Remember
me Oh Lord I cried
As
I knelt in deep despair
I
am drowning Oh Lord
Darkness
has surrounded me
My
heart aches deep within
For
I cannot help those I wish to help
What
ever hope I offer to them
Is
frail and breaks upon their touch
I
know not what to do for them
My
heart cries in agony
As
I see them struggle
With
each daily task
Remember
who I am
The
Lord answered me
I
am Jehovah Rapha
The
God who Heals
Only
I can provide
Healing
for a soul
Only
I can provide
What
each person needs
Look
unto me and see my face
It
shows my great love for you
Take
this love and show it to others
Tell
them about my healing grace
Remember
I am the only one
Who
can heal all sorrows of the world
Remember
I Am the Great I Am
Creator
of all there is
Child - Remember me today
Living God
God is alive
He lives in me
He walks with me daily
Never leaving me alone
He is my friend
He loves me as His own
He never will turn away
Even when I do
He waits for me to acknowledge
His rule and reign in my life
For He and He alone
Deserves my praise and worship
For God is a living God
In charge of everything
Yet He loves and care for me
Like no one else can
Reaching Down
God reaches down into my soul
He calls me to Himself
All that I am
Is His to use
The Spirit in my soul
Quenches any fear
For I am free in Christ
To obey and serve Him
His hand is upon me
He is working in me
To scantily me
To make me like His Son
O Lord, I thank thee
For this time of pruning
So my life can be used
To bring glory to you
Scars
Jesus stands with open arms
His hands stretched out
I see the scars embedded in them
The scars of the cross
Those scars are glorified now
To me they are beautiful
They mean life to me
For in them my salvation was secured
As I approach those scarred hands
I fall in worship before them
Jesus welcomes me with joy
Wrapping me in His love
Those scars were made for me
For Jesus died for me
His loving sacrifice
Secured my eternal life
Under His Banner
In
the army of God am I
Under
His Banner I live
Following
His commandments
I
serve Him
Loving
God with all I am
With
my heart, soul, and mind
Putting
Him first in all things
Is
His most important command
Loving
others like myself
Is
His second command
Treating
others with great love
Makes
me following my LORD
Let
me always live
Under
the Lord's Banner
Than
I know He will use me
As a
warrior in His army
His Plan
This
morning I awoke
Wondering
what this day would being
Then
I read God's WORD
And
knew He had His plan for me
Now
as I get up and start the day
I
need not fear this day
For
I know that in following Him
His
plan will be carried out
Let
me keep my eyes on Jesus
For
to Him I belong
He
bought me with His own life
So
my life is His
His
plan is perfect for me
To
bring me good, not harm
To
give me hope and peace
That
only comes from Him
So
as I arise today
Let
me look only to Jesus
For
the promises He made
He
will keep
Glory to God in the Highest!
Consider Jesus
Consider Jesus
Who He is
What He has done
Where He is
He is the King of Kings
Lord of All
Creator and author
The Alpha and Omega
He came to earth as a man
He lived a perfect holy life
He died sacrificially for man
Bearing God's full wrath of sin
Then He rose again to life
He is at God's right hand
He is seated in Glory
He is waiting to come again
Consider Jesus
He is exalted above all
Yet He was humiliated for us
So consider Him carefully
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is within me
There He resides always
His job is to teach me
All that God wants me to know
He also convicts me of my sins
For they block my way to The Father
When I confess I am forgiven
Again the Holy Spirit is
free to work in me
He was placed in me by Jesus
When in Jesus I believed
He will lead me in God's will
As long as I listen and
follow Jesus
Never let me grieve the Spirit
Let me never shame Jesus
Let me be an obedient servant
Of Almighty God

His Glory
Falling before my Lord
In humbleness
I am in awe of His glory
His brilliant light
Comes over me
Revealing his magnificence
His awesome glory
Surrounds me
As Heaven erupts in worship
Singing glory, honor and praise
To The Lord God Almighty
The one and only true God
Too Much Too Comprehend
Before the King I fall
Prostrate am I before Him
Worship is sung by the angles
All are praising Him
It is far too much to comprehend
For face to face I see my Savior
In His presence am I
Surrounded by His glory
Overcome with joy am I
To be before my Savior
For now and forever more
I will dwell with Him
God's Grace
Grace rains down upon me
God uses it to wash me
Clean am I from the bottom up
For He washes my feet first
He placed them in a basin
He kneeled and scrubbed them
All the filth of my life
He has washed away with his grace
Let us remember His grace
And extend it to others
Let us forgive as He did
For His grace has saved us
His grace continually cleanses us
He does not with hold it
He forgives us our sins
Let us show His grace to others
God is Sovereign
God is sovereign
He does what He says
He keeps His promises
All things are under Him
Yet man doubts God
Wondering all the time
If He will really fulfill
His promises to man
God will accomplish
All His purposes
No matter what man does
God's plan will be done
He is sovereign
He does not change
Embrace His plans
Giving all glory to Him
The Light of This World
Into the Light come
Into His holy light
His light will guide you
On the path to Him
His light never ends
For as He is eternal
So is His light
Shinning brightly forever
Darkness will not prevail
Sin has been defeated
So come unto Jesus
The Light of this world
The Beauty of the Lord
One can not help but see
The beauty of the Lord
His love wraps around me
And glitters in His light
This pure light penetrates
Into every part of me
It takes what is dark and filthy
Replacing it with His love
Now when He looks upon me
His beautiful love He sees
Transforming me from
Sinner into his beloved child
The beauty of the Lord
Is his love for me
Because of this love
He gave up His beloved Son
Never again will I forget
What He sacrificed
To ensure that all will see
The beauty in the love of our Lord
Wandering
God sets before me
A straight path daily
It leads me unto Him
And His glory is magnified
Yet I make crooked His path
It leads away from Him
I wander off by myself
In darkness and am lost
He comes to my rescue
When to Him I call
He once again sets my feet
Upon the path that leads to Him
Let me daily follow Him
Not wandering away
For His path leads me home
To eternal life with Him
Knowledge
Knowledge of God
Who He Is and
His characteristics
Is treasure to Christians
This knowledge is given
Through the Scriptures
By the Holy Spirit communicating
The truth of God to us
Knowledge from God
Can not lead us astray
As the world's knowledge
Will lead us to death
Read God's Word
Let the Holy Spirit teach you
Knowledge that will cause
You to become more like Christ
Agape Love
What kind of love
The Father has for us
That He gave up His Son
In love for us
He sent His beloved
To earth to die
So that we may see
True agape love
For He desires for us
Only the best
Sacrificially loving us
By giving us His best
Embrace His love
Feel its strength in you
For in us flows His love
True Agape love
Enlightened
Into darkness I was born
Separated from the Light of God
Sin was my destiny
Until Jesus came into my heart
Now God has enlightened me
To His glorious mystery for man
He has made known to me
His plan of reconciliation
His Word has been written to read
Men of Faith preach His Word
His Spirit of Truth is within me
All to lead and guide me
No longer am I in darkness
He has clearly made known to me
His plan for all the ages
His will of reconciliation for us
Dwell in Man
From the dawn of time
God intended to walk with man
In Adam and Eve was His Spirit
Leading and guiding them
Then sin entered the world
The Spirit left the children of God
No longer was He able
To impart God's wisdom to them
Jesus changed that
His death and resurrection
Provided reconciliation with God
To those who accept Christ as Savior
Into believers comes His Spirit
Once again to lead and guide man
The Spirit of God once more
Is able to dwell in man
Planting Seeds
Do not give up
Says the Lord unto us
Tell others each day
Of my love for them
Mostly you will not see
The harvest I am growing
Of new believers
That will come to me
But your job is to plant seeds
Water and tend them
But only I can bring them
To flower in salvation
So be faithful in planting
The seeds of belief in others
Water and tend these seeds
The harvest will be bountiful
Freedom
I am free from sin
But what a cost it took
For God gave up His Son
To redeem those who believe
Yet I continue to sin
But in God's eyes I am pure
Because of Christ's sacrifice
God has already forgiven me
Let me always remember
The cost of my freedom
And let that memory of God's love
Cause me to live under His rule
Choosing to lay aside my freedom
And to live as a slave for Christ
Telling others about Him
Leading them to freedom from sin
Reconciliation
The hurt felt by Christ
When He sacrificed His life
Was felt in Heaven and Earth
And changed each forevermore
For at that moment in time
Never to come again
God made a way
For reconciliation with man
When in faith we accept
God's gift of grace
We no longer are separated
From our creator
For Christ did not only die
But rose to take His place
As King of Heaven and Earth
Reigning forevermore
Nothing But Grace
Nothing but the grace of God
Can save mankind
All men of every kind
Are called unto Him
All people born on earth
Can be saved by His grace
But man must come through faith
In Jesus Christ and His sacrifice
No other way is acceptable
Nothing else is required
Works cannot save us
Only faith in God's Son
So stop and consider
Do you know Jesus as Lord
Do you accept God's offer
Of love and everlasting life
Build His Church
Each individual believer
Has been chosen by God
And been given a gift
To glorify Him
But we believers
Are all part of the Body
That makes up the Church
That is headed by Christ
Our gift is given to us
To use in the Church
To glorify Him
And bring unity
Let all believers
Work together for Christ
Using your God given gift
To build His Church
Know Him
Know your God all ye people
Know Him in
all situations
Know Him from His Words
Know Him from His mighty works
For God does not hide himself
He is everywhere all the time
He sees you seeking Him
And He comes to you
Never say you are abandoned
For God never walks away
From His children
He will never leave us adrift
Come unto Him and know Him
He will reveal Himself to you
His greatest joy is knowing
That you seek Him
What Love Cost
What a cost for my salvation
Did Jesus pay
Suffering and humiliation
Did He endure
Yet He did it willingly
Never did He turn away
From God's plan for Him
To be a sacrifice for men
He fulfilled God's requirement
Of His blood being spilled for us
It wipes away our sins
And makes us pure before God
What love He must have for us
To endure all that He did
We must accept Him as Lord
And continually follow Him
The Beauty of God
The beauty of God
Bathes us in His light
Majestic and Awesome
He shines upon us
Let us look Heavenward
Seeing His beauty
His holiness and purity
Shinning down on us
His shinning beauty
Penetrates all darkness
When we stand in Him
Others see His beauty
Live only in Him
Let his love show to all
Then their darkness will flee
Replaced by God's beauty
Oh God
Oh God, it cost you so much
To forgive my sins
Yet you sent your only Son
And He died willingly for me
Oh God, you did this
For me and all sinners
Who choose to believe in Jesus
As the Messiah
Oh God, let me never forget
The anguish I have caused you
By continuing to sin every day
Your anguish continues on
Oh God, forgive me
Let me follow only you
Show me your wisdom
That can lead me daily
Oh God, let me understand
The cost of Calvary
And let me focus on what
You did for me
Only Jesus
Only Jesus is the way
To eternal life
Only His death paid
For the sins of all men
Focusing on His sacrifice
Is how we learn
The cost of our salvation
Was horrific to God
For He had to turn His back
On His only Son
Only that sacrifice
Satisfied God's requirements
Now God can look upon us
And see righteousness
For through Christ's shed blood
We are as white as snow
Only Jesus did that for us
He was the perfect sacrifice
That forever fulfilled God's law
Only Jesus is the way
Cathedral Glass
A hundred year old cathedral
Is where anew I met my Lord
His presence was upon me
In the dampness of the stone
My eyes were drawn upward
To the windows of colored glass
Dark as my soul were they
As the sun was shrouded in clouds
But God spoke to me in that Cathedral
As I stared at the Calvary window
The Son of Man who died for me
Sent His light into my soul
For there depicted in colored glass
Was my Savior dying for me
My soul was lifted out of despair
By God's love Illuminated there
The earthly clouds lifted
The sun shone brightly through the glass
The colors danced all about me
As God filled my soul with His love
There in that cathedral of time gone by
The love of Jesus was shown to me
His love lit up my soul
Through the Cathedral glass
Life and Love
My life is a gift
From God above
For He created me
To live for His glorification
Into me He infused
His deep abiding love
When in Christ I believed
This love was awaken
So the life that I now live
Should mirror God's great love
For I am His reflection on earth
For other's to see
Let my life filled with His love
Glorify my Heavenly Father
Let His love for all men
Shine out in my life today
Know Him
My heart desires to know
My Lord in a new way
To understand Him afresh
In a deeper relationship
I know Him as my Savior
I know His love for me
Yet my heart tells me
Listen and learn more
Let Him teach me more
About Himself
Let Him
reveal unto me
His unfathomable character
So today my journey begins
As I listen to my God
Little by little He will
Fulfill my desire to know Him
The Source of Love
The
source of love
That
flows over us
Is
God above
Poured
out through His Son
For
God is all love
He
created us
To
love and care for us
For
all of eternity
Turn
to Him
Fell
His great love
Spilling
over us
Totally
engulfing us
For God is love
The Day of the Lord
God
will speak with His command
The
Day of the Lord has come
All
of Heaven will respond
With
shouts of praise and joy
Immediately
those hear on earth
Will
hear those shouts
Coming
from the heavens on high
Looking
up they will see Jesus' return
He
will be robed in glory and honor
His
righteousness will be clearly seen
All
who know Him as Lord and Savior
Will
rise to meet Him in the air
Let
all mankind believe in Him
As
the forgiver of their sins
Let
no man be left behind
When
the King of Heaven returns
God's Wisdom
Man
has sought to know
The
depths of God's wisdom
Hard
is it to obtain
Without
God's guidance
He
gave to some men
Glimpses
of Himself
For
in Him and Him alone
Is
the wisdom of the ages
But
through Christ's sacrifice
And
the Holy Spirit in us
We
now can seek and ask
For
understand of His wisdom
He
gives to those who seek
Understanding
little by little
Se
we can grow in and know
The
wisdom God gives to us
Prayer
Alone
Jesus was when to His Father He talked
Up
to a mountain or into the wilderness He went
He
knees how important it was to talk and listen
To
His Father in Heaven above
For
only our Heavenly Father sees everything
Waiting
to guide our every step
He
knows what our day holds
Let
Him guide you through it
Start
each day with Him
In
prayerful conversation
Listen
to all of His words
Of
wisdom, guidance, and comfort
Follow
Jesus' example
Talk
to God every day
Enter
the day not on your own
Let
God guide your day
Consider
Consider the Lord God
Who He is
What He does
Fear and obey Him
For He is Creator
Calling unto himself
Those who believe and accept
His Son's sacrifice
In Him we have life
Given to us
In accordance with His will
Out of God's love for us
Consider daily His will
Live accordingly
Obey and fear your Maker
The Lord God -YAWEH
God Calls My Name
God calls my name
In a quiet engaging tone
His voice is a gentle whisper
In the depths of my heart
He calls me to consider
His will for my life
Inviting me to walk with Him
Through each moment of my day
He does not insist that I listen
To his call deep within me
But oh how He rejoices
When I choose to have faith in Him
His hand takes mine and guides me
Through each step that I take
He will not ever leave me
No matter the circumstance
God calls my name
I will listen to Him
For in His love He leads me
Home to Him
Practicing
What
will Heaven be like
When
there I arrive
Who
will welcome me
But
the King Himself
On
my knees I will fall
Overwhelmed
by His countenance
In
worship I will me
Praising
and honoring Him
Surrounded
He will be
By
angels and believers
Everywhere
He walks
His
glory will shine forth
All
honor and glory to Him belong
Forever
and ever more
Let
us worship here on earth
In
practice for Heaven above
God's Song
My
life is a song from God
He
writes the melody sweet and clear
Pure
and even notes He provides
He
is the strong bass support
When
I intervene, stepping out on my own
The
melody is flat and harsh
It
does not sound in tune
To
the pure Holiness of God
Therefore
I must confess my sins
Then
He restores me unto Him
He
then is able to return me
To
His sweet song of Purity
Oh
Lord I pray
Play
your song in my life
Let
others hear and know
This
sweet pure song of love
The Crown of Thorns
Was placed on my Savior
Twisted, sharp and strong
Evil put upon His Head
How that must have
Hurt His heart
More than His body
To the depths of His Soul
Yet He accepted
From mankind
All the evil of sins
Placed upon Him
God turned His back
My savior died
The final sacrifice
Was satisfactory to God
Yet now Jesus wears
His Crown of Glory
He rules over everything
My Savior is King
Hallelujah to the King
The Storm
Brilliantly the sky was lit
With each flash of lightning
The rumble of each thunder clad
Spoke of its strength
Torrentially the rain came down
Washing away the filth of earth
Raging across the sky this storm
Was God speaking to me
In the light His glory shown
In the thunder His voice was heard
The rain is His forgiveness to man
Washing away our filth
In the quietness that fell
After the storm had relented
In the sky a rainbow appeared
God's promise of safety to man
Listen to nature and learn
Of our glorious God above
For all nature reflects His love and hope
For the salvation of mankind
Know the Father
Get to know the Father
Through His Son our Lord
For in Him we see the Father
For they are one
Jesus always pointed the way
To knowledge of His Father
Always telling us that knowing Him
Is knowing His Father above
Belief in Christ as Savior
Opens our eyes and hearts
To see and gain knowledge
Of God the Father Above
So study His life
Speak to Him daily
He will reveal so you may see
His Father in Heaven above
Eyes of Love
How beautiful are the eyes of Jesus
That lovingly look at me
Expressing His great desire
To lead and guide me
His eyes are full of joy
When I obey His words
Sorrowful they become
When I turn away from Him
Never does He take
His eyes off of me
He protects me for all danger
That threatens me
His eyes reveal His glory
As the King of Heaven above
But when He looks a t me
His eyes are full of love
In Plain Sight
The evidence of Jesus Christ
Is in plain sight for all to see
His grace is poured out
For all who will believe
Yet man in his selfishness
Puts himself first
Blocking his sight
To the one true Lord
For all whose eyes have been opened
Gaze upon their redeemer
Jesus Christ who died and rose again
Is seen by His believers
He will guide your every step
He will show you His ways
To life eternal in Heaven
Where in plain sight He rules the world
Lord God of All
Blessed
be your name Oh Lord
Almighty
Glorious One
From
Heaven you created man
And
was pleased with what your saw
But
man in his foolishness
Listened
to the serpent of evil
Man
gave into his selfishness
And
ruined what pleased you
Yet
you did not abandon us
You
provided a way unto you
Through
your only Son’s sacrifice
We
once more stand in your grace
Blessed
art you Oh Holy God
All
praise and honor are yours
For
your will can not be changed
You
were, are, always be the Lord God of All
Armor of God
Every
day as I arise
May
I dress in the Armor of the Lord
For
in it I am ready
To
stand for Him
His
belt of truth
Keeps
me hearing His voice
His
breastplate of righteousness
Protects
my heart from evil
My
feet will always be ready
To
run and declare His Word
My
mind protected from evil
For
through Christ I have salvation
His
shield of faith I carry
To
extinguish the enemies fire
With
His sword of truth
I
cut away all who deny Him
So
stand firm will I
Protected
by the Lord God
For
He has given unto me
All
I need to live for Him
Home in Heaven
Nothing
in this life compares
To
the Home of God in Heaven
His
glory fills it up
No
other light is needed
His
splendor encompasses it
Each
room in it He swells
His
riches are beyond compare
To
anything we can imagine
Why
on earth would I stay
When
in Heaven He has prepared
A
room just for me
Decorated
by the Hand of God
Look
forward do I each day
To
swelling with the Most High
He
will come back and take me home
To
live in His home forever more
For You
I
am the key
That
opens the gates
Of
eternal life
For
You
I
am the way
To
eternal life
In
Heaven above
For
You
I
am the truth
Of
eternal life
No
one else will stand
For
You
I
am Life
For
You
For
I gave up mine
For
You
The Carpenter's Foundation
The
Lord of my life is Jesus Christ
The
master builder of all
He
is the foundation of my life
Upon
Him I rely
As a
carpenter in Galilee
He
built many things
No
one recognized Him for who He was
The
Son of God come to Earth
He
laid the foundation of the church
When
on earth He did walk
He
built up men who would carry on
When
to Heaven He ascended
Now
each day to Him I look
To
build my life in Him
The
greatest carpenter of all time
Is
the foundation upon which I live
The Stairway
Jesus
is the stairway
That
joins earth to Heaven above
He
is the only way
To
His Father above
To
earth He came
So
long ago
That
man may know
The
love of Almighty God
Through
belief in God's Son
We
are redeemed and justified
Our
sins are forgiven
In
God's presence we may stand
Jesus
is the stairway
That
joins earth to heaven above
Down
He came to save us
So
we may rise to eternal glory above
Showing Love
Showing
love to others
Ought
to be easy to do
Jesus
is our example
Yet
we do not follow Him
His
live and words show us
Exactly
how to live
Showing
love to others
As
we believe in Him
Yet
we do not do
What
He commands us to do
To
love others as we love ourselves
Is
not easy for us
So
we must put aside our selfishness
And
follow what He did
So
others may come to know Him
Through
the loved we show them
At the River
I
stood in the river
That
flows from God above
His
life giving water
Beckoning
me to come
Angels
circling above me
Sang
hosannas loud and clear
In
the midst of the river
Stood
the Son of God
He
reached out His hand
To
welcome me home
His
face glowing brightly
His
love encompassing me
As
I stepped into that river
Hosannas
rang out with clarity
A
child of the Living God
Had
come home for all eternity
Desiring Jesus
Joy
brings Jesus to our hearts
His
wisdom draws us to His light
In
His light we soar to Heaven
Seeking
and striving to live like Him
Hope
guides us to His path
Where
we hear His still small voice
He
guides us to His living well
Where
we drink of everlasting life
His
beauty surrounds us
His
wisdom guides us
What
more then, should man desire
But
to joyfully live in His love
Come Unto Me
Come
and sit with me
Rest
in my arms
Completely
trust me
For
I will take care of you
You
are my child
A
daughter of the Living God
I
will not fail you
At
all times I am protecting you
Fret
not about tomorrow
Think
not of the future
For
now be with me
Feel
my comfort
Rest
in me
Let
me comfort thee
For
I have called thee
To
come unto me
God's Blessings
Open
my eyes and let me see
God's
blessings all around me
Let
me focus so hard on them
That
nothing else distracts me
Sometimes
they get pushed aside
And
get lost in the shuffle of life
For
Satan tries to distract me
With
things that do not matter
Yet
what he waves in front of me
Catches
my mind's focus
Then
that is what I concentrate on
God's
blessings get left behind
Let
God's blessing block out
Anything
that turns me from Him
For
when I see His blessings
Then
I feel Him in me
Fragrance of Christ
The
fragrance of Christ flows from me
To
all those I meet
Do
they smell the love of God
Or
do they smell sin
For
when I am trusting in my Lord
His
do I show
But
when in pride I live without Him
Sin
takes over in me
His
fragrance of love is sweet and strong
It
will linger in their hearts
The
fragrance of sin overcomes
And
makes man ill
Today
let me be His fragrance of Love
To
all those I meet
Let
them smell and be drawn unto Him
By
how He uses me
Jar of Clay
I am
only a jar of clay
Yet
I hold a treasure within me
For
tho I am humble and ordinary
The
Light of the World lives in me
For
when a believer I became
Jesus
came to dwell in me
He
took and ordinary person
And
made me worthy before God
Now
when the jar of clay is seen
By
others in this world
It
appears as a chest of Gold
For
God's light has transformed it
Let
God's light shine out of me
Guiding
others to Him
Then
this jar of clay on earth
Will
have honored na glorified Him
The Golden Thread
The
golden thread that is my life
Is
held by Jesus' hand
Never
does He let go of it
It
connects me to Him
Without
that golden connection
I
would drown in life's sorrows
Yet
now I walk through them
Supported by His golden love
Into
every experience of my life
He
weaves His golden thread of love
The
more I rely on Him
The
stronger the bond becomes
One
day He will lift His hand
To
gather up my golden thread
On
that day I will fall before Him
On
the streets of gold
There
I will worship and above Him
Singing
praises to His name
Thanking
Him for His golden gift of love
That
ties me to Him
To Have Been an Angel
Oh
to have been an angel
Singing
from Heaven above
Songs
of worship and praise
Glorifying
Christ the King
From
Heaven to earth He came
One
night long ago
For
God His Father sent Him
To
those He loved on earth
The
angels sang of His glory
To a
band of lowly men
They
pointed the way to the Babe
The
Savior of all men
The
angels must have wondered
Why
god sent His only Son
T a
humble stable in Bethlehem
As
the Son of Man
Like
an angel I can be
Honoring
and worshiping my God
For
His great gift of love He gave
In
Bethlehem long ago
The Heart of God
The
Heart of God is where I want to be
Held
fast unto Him is my longing
For
when He holds me in His arms
The
beating of His heart do I feel
The
Heart of God bled for me
His
love He poured out over me
The
greatest gift He could ever give
Came
straight from His heart
For
Christ His Son He did sacrifice
So
that forever His Love I may feel
On
that day of Sacrifice, God's Heart was torn apart
Out
of death came life for all who desire it
The
Heart of God is where I want to be
Giving
back my heart to Him
The House of God
The
House of God
Is
not made of stone
Yet
its foundations is sure
Its
cornerstone has been set
For
God laid the foundation
At
the beginning of all time
Jesus
is the cornerstone
For
God's House
When
we believe
That
He died so we may live
God
opens His door
So
with Him we may dwell
Come
to His dwelling
Your
needs He meets
Love
and protection you will feel
In
His presence you will live
God's
House is sure
Never
will it change
For
God is faithful
Forever
He will reign
Facets of God
May
I live today
In
the presence of my Lord
May
I gaze upon His beauty
For
each time I look at Him
Another
facet of His glory
Unfolds
itself for me to see
His
love shines like a diamond
It
draw me unto Him
It
holds my gaze upon His face
His
patience is rich like a ruby
He
waits for me to come to Him
To
let His royal blood cleanse my soul
His
kindness is as a sapphire
It
soothes my soul like a river
That
flows softly comforting me
His
holiness is as bright as gold
All
who see Him will know
He
is worthy of praise and worship
Gaze
I will upon His face
As
I live in Him each day
His
beauty will continually surround me

They
flow continually over me
They

And
see what the Lord does just for me
For
He delights in surprising me
His
love He pours out over me
His
desire is to shower me
With
all He has for me
For
God will not harm me

will worship and honor Him
God is in Control
God
is in control
He
reigns on high
Victory
is His
Evil
will not remain
As
I serve Him

To
live in His victory
God

For

The Blazing Eyes of God
The
blazing eyes of God
Look
into my heart and soul
He
sees all that is within me
Nothing
escapes His glaze
He
knows my inner thoughts
None
are hidden from Him
He
sees each thing I think or do
His
sight reaches into the recesses of my soul
Will
I tremble when He looks
Will
shame fill my soul
Are
my thoughts focused on Him
Or
do they shame me to my core
When
I focus on my Lord
All
of me honors Him
When
He searches my heart and soul
He
sees my deep love for Him
Crimson
Crimson
is the color
Of
the blood of the Lamb
Over
me it flows
Washing
away my sins
From
the cross on Calvary
He
laid down His life
Giving
up Himself
Taking
on the sins of the world
From
there His blood
Flows
for all who believe
That
He came and died
So
we may live eternally
Each
time I drink
From
the communion cup
I
am forever reminded
Of
His sacrifice
The
blood of the Lamb continues to flow
It
covers my blackness with its crimson flow
It
causes me to be as white as snow
So
that I may stand before God's throne
Trickling Away
Trickling
away was the perfume
That
was poured over Jesuss' feet
Some
saw it as a waste
Of
time, effort, and money
But
Jesus saw only the love
Mary
was offering to Him
Over
His feet she poured out
All
she felt for Him
She
gave to Him all she had
And
honored Him as her King
As
we look and see our Lord
How
do we honor Him
Do
we give all we have
To
honor the King of Kings
Or
do we hold back for ourselves
Some
of our resources
Pour
out yourself to the Lord
Honor
Him with all you have
For
he holds nothing back from you
He
gave His life for you
Never Do I Walk in Darkness
Never
do I walk in darkness
For
I am a child of God
His
glory pierces my darkest place
Filling
it with His light
His
radiance covers me
With
the brilliance of His love
The
darkness cannot linger
In
His Holy presence
For
He is the source
Of
life giving light
The
darkness of my world
He
chases away
So
walk will I today with Him
His
glory will surround me
Look
will I upon His face
For
He deeply loves me
The Light of the World
The
Lord is the Light of the World
In
Him no darkness reigns
He
came to earth to show the way
To
eternal life in Heaven above
When
we look and see Him
We
see the Father above
For
united are they as one
In
all they do and say
Christ
points the way to the Father
From
whom all life began
He
shows that the Father
Has
eternally loved us
The
Father has given His Son
To
reign over all the earth
For
only through believing in Him
Can
we enter Heaven above
Christ
is the Light of the World
No
darkness reigns in Him
Turn
and see Him reaching out to you
Accept
His gift of love
Masterpiece
A masterpiece am I
Painted
by the hand of God
Put
together just as He sees fit
Each
part in perfect harmony
Created
was I by Him
To
honor and worship Him
He
looks and sees in me
His
perfect creativity
Even
though sin has tarnished me
Through
Christ I am redeemed
Each
day I am renewed
To
do His will for me
A
masterpiece am I
Painted
by the hand of God
From
the beginning of time He knew
Just
who I would be
A Child of Christ
A
Child of Christ am I
His
Spirit fills me
He
came to earth long ago
As
a child in Mary's arms
He
fills my soul with His love
He
show me His mercy
He
loves me as I am
He
will never forsake me
For
God looks down upon me
He
sees me as I am
His
compassion, consideration , and carefulness
Flow
down upon me
As
a child of the King
To
others I must be
A
reflection of His love, mercy, and compassion
So
they see Him not me
Looking Back to Look Forward
Looking
back into history
Shows
me the love of my Lord
For
so many years ago
He
sent His Son to us
Through
Him He provided for me
Salvation
for my soul
His
Son lived a perfect life
But
died covered with all our sins
He
rose to live once again
Death
had no hold over Him
Because
He lives so will I
His
is my Savior, my friend
Now
my King rules above
Waiting
for the perfect time
To
return to earth once again
To
claim total victory over sin
So
now I look to the future
Waiting
for His return
To
be able to see Him face to face
To
thank Him for freedom from sin
Looking
back in history
I
see what He had planned
To
bring all mankind unto Him
So
all might live again
To
the future I look
And
anticipate what it will be
To
stand before the King of Kings
To
be part of His family
Gifts From God
It's
Christmas morning
And
what do I see
But
three presents under the tree
Waiting
for me
Each
bears my name
And
is richly wrapped
Inviting
me to open and see
What
each gift holds for me
I
look and pick the crimson gift
Wrapped
with lovely twine
Inside
I find God's gift of love
Freely
given to all who believe
The
golden gift catches my eye
Wrapped
with bells on top
Inside
I find God's gift of joy
That
rings inside my heart
Deep
blue is the color of the final gift
Wrapped
with a lovely dove
Inside
I find God's gift of peace
For
His Spirit lives in me
These
gifts I will treasure all my life
They
will lead and guide me
For
God has given to me
His
live, His joy, His peace

Him there is no darkness
When
we walk In His light
We
have been justified and sanctified
His
light allow us to enter
Into
the presence of the Father
There
we rest in His loving arms
Bathed
in His peace
For
His peace brigs to me
Knowledge
of who is in control
Over
all that happens to me
Through
His peace my heart is anxiety free
So
walk in Christ's light
Accept
His direction in your life
Through
Him you will experience
The
true Peace of God
God Can Be Seen
God
can seen by those who seek His face
He
does not hide himself form those who desire to see Him
In
Moses's day He led His people
Where
He wanted them to go
A
cloud appeared during the day
And
a pillar of fire by night
When
it moved God's people moved
When
it stopped so did they
Today
God shows us where to go
In
many different ways
His
words for our guidance
Are
written in the Scriptures
He
uses other people
To
send us his messages
He
replies when we seek Him
Through
prayer and worshipping
God
desires to lead us
In
all that we do and say
When
we His people earnestly seek Him
He
will guide us in His paths
So
seek your Lord Almighty
He
does not hide from you
He
waits for use to look to Him
For
guidance in all we do
I Come in Humbleness
Oh
Lord as I enter your presence today
I
come in humble quietness
With
my eyes I look to see your face
Which
shows its love fore me
Yet
I open not my mouth
To
speak to the Holy One
For
I must look beyond the love
And
see the Mighty Majestic One
As
I approach your mighty throne
Quietness
overwhelms me
For
then I really see
The
one most mighty God
Come
you say and motion to me
Speak
what is on your heart
Oh
Lord I say I'm sorry for disrespecting you
For
putting my agenda well ahead of yours
Listen
replies my Lord and God to my plans for you
Let
my Spirit work in you to carry them through
In
quiet obedience each day I must listen
For
the Spirit to speak and guide me
Then
I know without a doubt
I
honor the Lord my God
I
recognize His power and might
I
hear His call and follow Him
Know that I Am God
Know
that I am God
Let
my Spirit pass over you
Let
me fill you with quietness
Let
not rage fill your heart
Hide
within me
Let
my love wrap around you
I
hold you deep in my compassion
Rest
totally in me
For
the time will soon pass
Back
to work you will be
Cherish
this time you have
To
focus on me
Listen
to what I tell you
Let
my Spirit open your mind
To
totally understand and comprehend
My
message of love and grace
Who I Am
Christ
is in my life, this I know
For
I asked Him to come long ago
Yet
how much do I know
About
the King that lives in me
How
often do I let Him
Reveal
Himself to me
So
often I sit and read
The
stories about His life
Yet
I hurry and say
All
this I have already read
Yet
He yearns to open my eyes
To
see more of Him
To
reveal deep within my soul
The
majesty of who He is
Read
again He says to me
Those
old familiar stories
But
let me show through them
My
full glory, grace, and truth
Open
your heart, get to know me
In
a deeper more meaningful way
For
I desire to impart unto you
A
deeper love and understanding of who I am
Out of Darkness
Out
of darkness God calls me to come
He
desires for me to look upon His beauty
To
bathe myself in His glory
To
leave behind all that troubles me
To
rest and be refreshed in Him
He
promises to provide all that I need
To
let all things work together
To
uphold me with His mighty hand
So
to Him I come
Relinquishing
all that troubles me
He
promises that He will take care of all my needs
While
in His presence I rest
So
my darkness fades away
Replaced
by the dawning of God's Glory in my heart
Life Comes to Me Each Day
My
life was created by God the Almighty
He
chose me as His own from time long ago
Through Christ's death on the cross
Redemption comes to me
For
when I chose to believe
My
sins were wiped away
The
Spirit entered me
When
I became a believer
He
brings into my life
All
of God's blessings for me
Life
comes to me each and every day
From
the Holy Trinity
Creator of the Universe
Creator
of the Universe
Before
you I stand
Knowing
all that you created
You
pronounced as being good
Into
the world you created
Came
sin, death, and destruction
It
seems to overtake and undo
All
the good you formed
Yet
there remains on earth
Those
who believe in you
We
have knowledge of who you are
And
what you can do
From
Genesis to Revelation
The
Scriptures tell about you
Your
powerful hand upon this earth
The
good you still do
At
the end of time
When
you come again
All
will be recreated
By
your mighty hand
Then
all of your believers
Will
stand with you
Knowing
we have done
What
you requested us to do
To
proclaim to all who will listen
That
God is good, He loves us
And
that His salvation comes to us
From
the throne of God
So
God of Creation
Upon
you I call
Use
me as one of your believers
To
bring your good to the earth today
Hear My Voice
In
the stillness of the night
I
call your name
Hoping
your heart will hear my voice
Hearing
the words I want to say
For
my child
I
love you beyond compare
I
hold my arms out to you
Daily
I hope that you believe
That
my love is a gift just for you
I
sent my
Son to die
So
all may be saved
When
you put your faith in Him
You
open your heart to me
A
child of mine you become
The
instant you choose to be
All
of the love
I have for you
Will
flow freely from me to thee
One
small
step of faith is all it takes
To
become a child of mine
Reach
out and take my hand
Walk
with me
for all of eternity
Oh Divine Healer
Oh
Divine Healer
Deliver
my soul
From
all that is within me
That
makes me unwhole
Unconfessed
sins
Lack
of Faith
Doubt
in you power
Holds
back your grace
Oh
Divine Healer
Enter
my soul
Heal
me form within
Make
me whole
Faith
in your nature
Knowledge
of your power
Trust
in you divinity
Leads
to curing my Soul
Oh
Divine Healer
Let
me walk with thee today
For
through the wounds Christ suffered
Heal
and make me whole
When Christ Looks at Me
When
Christ looks at me
His
gaze is all consuming
He
does not just glance
But
He looks at me deep inside
He
sees all of me
His
eyes connect to my soul
They
show His deep love for me
His
eyes search for my love
Being
returned to Him
His
gaze matches mine
His
eyes hold mine
Until
I understand
That
I belong to Him
He
consumes my soul
Transforming
me into His image
Uninterrupted Love
God's
love for me is never interrupted
He
always looks at me and never turns away
No
matter what I do
His
love for me is unchanging
He
never withholds it from me
All
I can do is praise my Lord
For
His love that flows over me
It
continually washes my sins away
When
I confess my sins
So
never am I left without His love
It
cleanses me
So
that I may stand in His midst one day
His
unfailing love bolsters my soul
So
that I may totally trust in Him
For
God never leaves or forsakes me
His
love for me continually touches my soul
God Stands Regally
The
Lord stands regally
Waiting for those who believe in Him
His
hands are opened
Waiting to welcome them
Upon
their heads He will put
Crowns of glory and honor
He
will seat His believers
Beside Him for all of eternity
This
vision I must keep in the front of my mind
Life
tries to cover it with dirt and slime
But
God has shown to me that I will live with Him
Nothing
on this earth will overcome Him
So
today as I walk to my Lord I will look
My
eyes are on Him
My
hand is in His
He
will guide me safely to my Home with Him
Eclipse Not God's Glory
God has a plan to save mankind from everlasting doom
His glory is shown to each of us to draw us close to Him
He sent to earth His perfect Son to show us His awesome glory
For all that Christ did upon this earth was to glorify His Father
When we believe upon His Son, God Spirit's enters us
We then reflect God's glory to all we meet each day
Only when we let God work in our lives each day
Will His glory shine out of us for others to observe
So do not eclipse God's glory in how you live and act
But reflect it back in all its brilliance to the Throne of God
For when others see how you live and act when God rules your life
They see and feel the touch of glory from the Almighty One
Just a Moment
Just
a moment God says to me
That's
all it takes for me to know
The
whole of your life
Life
to me, I say, is long and hard
Each
day I struggle and all goes wrong
All
I see is what I fail at
Just
a moment God says to me
I
see all you are going through
Each
struggle builds endurance for the plans I have for you
But
what of now, Oh Lord I say
With
my struggles I see no future
That
this will help me with
Just
a moment God says to me
I
see all of your life at once
Trust
I know how strong you will be when you lean on me
But
what I
see now is not what I like
Life
is tough to swallow
I
see no tomorrow
Just
a moment God say to me
Raise
your eyes to Heaven
Look
and I will give you a glimpse of your eternity
A Mirror of God's Glory
I
am a mirror for God
To
be used to reflect His glory
Some
days I am clean and cloudless
His
glory shines brightly for all to see
Other
days the mirror is clouded by fog
My
own desires and actions block His refection
When
my sin is not forgiven
The
mirror to my soul is veiled
No
one can see clearly
God's
glory reflected in me
But
when my mirror has been cleansed by His forgiveness
God's
marvelous glory shines brightly for all to see
So
each day I will cleanse my mirror by confessing my sins
God's
forgiveness will wipe away the dimness of the mirror to my soul
Then
all who look at me
Will
see God's great glory
They
will come to know of God's presence
Reflected
through me
Fragrant Flower
Let
me be a fragrant flower
that blooms for the Lord today
Let
His aroma fill each place
That I enter today
Let
His illuminating glory
Be shown to others when the look at me
Let
His love be the beauty
That others see in me
Let
me feed upon His love
So that I will not fade away
Let
me serve Him and show to others
His steadfastness
Let
others see when they look at me
The Beauty of the Lord
What I Know About the Lord
What
I know about the Lord
Is
what He chooses to tell me
Each
day as I arise and listen to Him
New
words He has for me
He
imparts to my heart His glorious words
When
I seek His wisdom for me
For
only when I open my heart
Can
I understand His love for me
So
today as I arise
I
will seek the knowledge He wants to show me
For
unless I open my heart to Him
Never
will I know and understand
His
great love for me
Plans for You
Listen
and I will speak unto you
of the glorious plans I hold for you
Fret
not about what the day may hold
For I have it under my control
Instead
turn and listen to me
Of what I want you to know
Pearls
of wisdom I will give unto you
If your heart is focused on me
Let
not the world distract you
From the riches I have for you
Quietly
sit and listen
For what I want to say
My
words are your salvation
The foundation upon which you live
Before
you hurry into this day
Listen to what I have to say
Imitators of Christ
Children
learn from their parents what to do and say
The
imitate what they see and hear
They
follow in their footsteps
They
treat each other as their parents do
As
children of God we should imitate what He does
We
should look to Him to see how we should live
How
we should act, what we say, and
How
we treat others
He
sent to us His perfect Son
To
show us all these things
Christ
loved us and sacrificially died for us
So
that we may live as God's children
Look
to Christ and see how to live each day
For
we have not been left alone to find our own way
But
we have been shown the perfect way to live
Be
imitators of Christ today
Wait and See
Wait
and see what the Lord will do
Wait
and see His glory appear
For
when you are patient and wait
He
will appear to you
He
will show you what to do
He
will guide your every step
He
will come to you in brand new ways
To
show you what He can do through you
So
wait and see what the Lord has in store
For
you to do today
Then
when He has spoken to you
Follow
His will His way
Love through Servanthood
I stand at the edge of a vast ocean
As I look up from the ocean that washes over my feet
I see the sunset that rises into the clouds of heaven above
As I watch the clouds part a vision of heaven appears
There stands Jesus at the gates of the New City
His arms extend out to me
As I stand I look down
I see that it is Christ's hands that are washing my feet
He opens my eyes
So that I may see and understand love through servanthood
God
Opened
Heaven
God
opened heaven to us
when
He set His son to
Earth.
Jesus
opened our hearts
to
be able to fill us
with
God’s
Righteousness.
On
the cross He opened
Hell
and dropped all of
our
sins in.
He
now stands in His majesty
and
beckons us to come to
His
out stretched arms
and
live with Him
forever.
The Master Weaver
Christ
is the master weaver
He
takes each piece that makes up me
and
binds them together with golden thread
Each
piece of cloth that is my life
has
been washed in His blood
Dirty
they were before His touch
White
as snow are they now
Each
stitch He puts in
Strengthens
His hold upon my life
Stitched
into my life is
His
love, faith and hope
Created
am I by my Master’s Hands
Made
in His image am I
When
I stand before Him in all His Glory
He
sees not the sinful soul I was
But
His perfectly Created Child
City of God
The
City of God stretched before me
The
Lamb sat upon the throne
Everywhere
I looked people were rejoicing
No
darkness entered in
The
gates were opened wide
All
who believed in the Lamb could enter in
As
I approached my heart was filled with joy
The
Lamb of God looked upon me
He
opened His arms to me
Running
with total abandonment
I
reached the safety of His arms
Welcome
Home My child, He whispered to me
I’ve
been waiting just for you!
Face of Christ
We
look upon the face of Christ
Do
we understand who we are looking at?
He
is the creator of all that is!
He
rules over everything
With
a touch of His hand the world was made
With
a touch it will be destroyed
Yet
He allows us in His presence
For
His great love encompasses us
We
need not tremble or fear when we sit as His feet
For
we have been called to heirs with Him
In
the last day He shall reign
Nothing
shall overcome the Creator of the Universe
Open My Eyes
Open
my eyes Oh Lord my God
that
I may see the graciousness of your love
Open
my eyes Oh Lord my God
that
I may see the glories of thy hand
Open
my eyes Oh Lord my God
that
I may see the path I should walk
Open
my eyes Oh Lord my God
that
I may see others I should help
Open
my eyes Oh Lord my God
that
I may see your arms stretching out to me
Open
my eyes Oh Lord my God
that
I may see the smile upon your face

swells in my heart as I contemplate that life changing moment
Yet
that joy is mine now
For
within me Christ lives
Insurmountable
Joy fills my heart
For
instantaneously when I accepted Him I was made complete

tune is played by the heavenly host
Led
by the Hand of God
The
tune beckons me
To
arise and dance with God
For
He knows which way to lead
So
I will not go astray
Some
mornings I do not listen

A
hand stretches out to me
It
lifts me up and leads me
Through
the darkness of the day
So
dance will I

Three Crosses
Upon
a holy hill three crosses stood
Each
held a unique place in God's plan for our world
Upon
the middle cross hung the Lord of Life
One
side held one who turned to Him
The
other held one who rejected Him
That
moment holds all that is important to us
Have
you turned and seen the face of your eternal salvation
Or
have you turned away
The Day Before
The
day before Christ was conceived as a babe in Mary's womb
He
sat upon His throne above beside His beloved Father
Son,
you will be their Messiah, The Savior of the world
You
will show them the one true way to eternal salvation
Each
step you take, each word you say will shake their lives completely
Their
eyes will open, they will see the love I have for them
Your
words will be sustenance upon which they will grow
Your
death will be your final act as the Son of Man
Your
resurrection will bring you back to your throne above
Through
your life and death below, your followers will live again
For
you will pay their debt in full, your righteousness will cover their sins
So
go, my beloved, into the world
Show
them the way to me
Follow
the path I have laid out for you
To
bring salvation to all who will believe
Therefore
God
loves you therefore worship Him
God
died for you therefore come to Him
God
gave you life therefore love Him
God
provides for you therefore thank Him
God
leads you therefore follow Him
God
looks for you therefore open your heart to Him
God
want others to know Him therefore tell them about Him
God
opens His arms to you therefore run and be embraced by Him
God Dresses Me
Each
morning as I stand before my God
He
dresses me
On
to me He puts his Royal Robes
Each
day I wear all of them
But
He focuses my attention to a particular one each day
Each
robe that I focus on
Show
me an aspect of God
He
reveals to me
His
mind and deepest thoughts
So
each day that I choose to let God dress me
His
wisdom and words enter my heart
They
let me know Him in a deeper way
God
Sees
and Knows
God
sees and know His plan for all of my life
He
knows which way I should go, each step I should take
He
asks me to trust
and
let Him guide my way
He
sends me His Spirit, to be my guide
To
show me the path that I should take
Yet
I turn and run away form Him
Thinking
I know the best way to go
Then
I find myself lost in my sin
Looking
for the way to come home again
In
steps the Spirit of the Living God
He
lifts and guides me out of my darkest hours
He
points the way to the path I should take
That
leads me home to the Heart of God
Christ's Robe
At
the cross Christ's robe was taken
It
was divided among men
In
Heaven, Christ's robe will announce His royalty
On
earth He came to proclaim His kingdom
In
Heaven His kingdom is proclaimed by the Heavenly Hosts
His kingdom is both on earth and in Heaven
On
earth He desires to be your king
So
that in Heaven you will stand as a child of the King
Bow
now before your King
Feel
His robe of righteousness wrapped around you
Stand
then before the King
Robbed
in His garment of love
Stand forever more
God's
Graciousness
God's
graciousness comes to us each and every day
He
looks not upon us in anger, but in kindness and compassion
From
the days of old to the present
God's
character never changes
His
mercy has been given to us
Instead
of the wrath of His anger
Show
to others his nature
Of
graciousness, compassion, and kindness
For
when other see Him through us
His
graciousness flows like a river
Consistency
of God
The
inconsistencies of man are a sharp contrast
To
the consistency of God
Man's
character changes like a leaf
That
is blown around by wind
God's character never changes
Man's
intentions change
to
support his selfish motives
God's
intentions have been the same
From
the beginning of time
Man
cannot be trusted
For
he lies, cheats, and steals
God
is trustworthy
In
Him there is no sin
Man
changes his will when influenced by the things of this world
God's
will never changes
Man
dies and is gone
God
lives and endures forever
Come
therefore and put your trust not in inconsistent men
But
in the God who never changes
The King of Heaven
I
sit at the foot of the King of Heaven
Clothed
in splendor is He
Upon
the throne sits the Lion of Judah
Surrounded
by all who adore Him
Upon
my knees I fall and worship
Praising
Him for evermore
For
alone He is worthy of adoration
The
Great Jehovah He is
In God's Presence
Through
Christ, God reaches down
Opening
Heaven for me to see
As
I look up and see Christ's face
I
look upon God Himself
For
when I reach up and take Christ's hand
I
am brought into God's presence
There
I sit at His feet
I
feel His love around me
For
through Christ's love and sacrifice
I
will live forever in the presence of God
God's Reflected Beauty
The
beauty of our Lord
Is
reflected in the world below
All
things that shine brightly
Are
like mirrors that catch His image
Each
color that shows in the flowers that grow
Are
God's robes of royalty
The
waters that flow in the streams below
Tell
of His purity
The
winds that blow over all the earth
Is
His Spirit that moves among us
The
rain that falls refreshing us
Is
His love falling on barren souls
His
strength is shown in the mountains
That
stand pointing back to Him
So
step outside today
See
His reflection in our world
Then
open your heart and let Him come in
Be
a reflection of Him for all to see
The Touch of God
When
God touches us we are changed
It
is impossible to go back to who we were
God
changes our hearts to be like Him
He
shows to us a new path
He
opens our eyes to see Him
As
we allow God to enter us
His
blessings will come to us
He
will be with us in every step we take
He
will never leave or forsake us
So
when God places His hand upon you
Turn
and embrace His life changing touch
The Kingdom Within You
Many
will ask
When will the King come
When will He establish His Kingdom
But
the King has come
He
rules already
In
the hearts of men
From
Heaven He came long ago
He
called His followers to come
In
their hearts He puts His Spirit
That
leads, guides, and teaches them
One
day the King will return
He
will gather all who believe
They
will rise and live with Him
For
all eternity
If
your are a Son of God
Wait
not until then
For
in your heart the King resides
Bow
down and worship Him
His Hands
The
Lord opened His hands and reached out to me
The
scars of the cross laid before me
Come
unto me and rest in me
His
hands beckoned me
For
His hands heal those in need
They heal those who are ill
They heal those who are hurting
They heal all who come to Him
So
reach up and take His stretched out hands
Be comforted by them
Be loved by them
Be saved by them
For
those scarred hands are the saving hands of the Son of God
Be His Hands
The
Lord's hands lift me up into His realm on high
They
show to me all that has been prepared for my life after death
He
points out to me each saint that is there
Those
who have gone before me
Their
faces reflect His glory and honor
They
bow in worship before Him
My
eyes cannot take in all that is there
My
heart yearns to worship
Yet
His hand hold me back
For
my time has not come
My
Lord says unto me
Live
in the world as an extension of me
Show
my heart to others
Love
them as I have loved you
Lead
them to me
One
day Christ says My hands will open the gates of Heaven
They
will bid you enter
Until
them - be My hands upon the earth
Point
the way to the Father
Voice of God
The voice of God speaks to me continually
He
never leaves me alone
Even
when I try to shut Him out
His voice speaks His truth, love and peace
His voice guides me in the way I should go
His voice is quiet and still
Stop I must and listen to the Voice of God
For when I do, I hear all that He wants me too
His truth, love and peace enter my soul
Clothed
Clothed
inside
By
His body and blood
Clothed
outside
So
we show Him to others
What
you put inside
You
will show on the outside
So
put inside you
All
you can hold of His great love
Then
it will over flow
On
the outside
You
will show Christ
And
His love to others
Stripped
The
Lord was stripped of all
When
He was hanging on the cross
He
lost His human dignity
He
lost His human life
His
Father forsake Him
He
carried the sins of all
When
we come to Him
We
need to strip ourselves of everything
We
need to come carrying no baggage
We
need to lay ourselves before Him
Hiding nothing, keeping nothing for ourselves
For
He rose in triumph
Over
the sins of the world
To
sit at God's Right Hand
When
we surrender all to Him
He
will raise us
And
use us to glorify the Father
Reflection
Do
you see yourself in me
Oh
Living Loving Lord
Do
I reflect your love and kindness to all that I meet
Do
they see your glory and might when they look at me
What,
Oh Lord, is tarnishing my soul
That
makes your refection dim
What
sin am I not confessing that clouds what others see
What
deeds am I doing that covers your face
So
other don't see you through me
Oh
Lord on High - work in me today
Cleanse
my soul
Forgive
my sins
Wash
me and make me whole
Let
me be a reflection of thee
Let
your love flow out of me
So
when others look at me
They
see only Thee!
Cloak of Love
God
murmurs my name in the early dawn
He
awakens my soul from its slumber
He
desires to impart to my waiting heart
An
understanding of His love for me
In
the depth of my soul a yearning arises
To
acknowledge the love of my Lord
His
cloak of love envelops me
My
soul delights at its touch
Secure
am I in the garment of God
My
soul enters His peace
He
has bestowed on me in the early dawn
Knowledge
of His immense love for me
So
arise I will to live today
Wrapped
in the love of my Lord
This
cloak I will wear wherever I go
Encased
in His love am I
God's Choices
God
has many choices that He makes
He
chose to create the world
He
chose to make man
He
chose to seek a relationship with me
When
man turned his back on God
God
chose to provide a way for eternal redemption
He
chose to send His Son
To
be the last sacrifice ever to be needed
God
chooses each day to be part of our lives
He
actively chooses the paths we should walk
He
chooses to present to his His perfect choices
Then
He chooses to watch and see what we will do
He
chooses not to force
His
will upon our lives
But
to wait and see
What
we will choose to do
Will
you choose God's choices for you
Or
will you throw aside His perfect plan
He
offers you life beyond compare
Or
will you choose death instead
Let God choose for you!
Stepping Back
The
awesome power of the Mighty God lives in me today
He
molds me and makes me in His image each day
Each
step I take, each word I say is directed by Him
When
I step back and let Him work in me
He
longs to be the only one to whom I look for strength
He
offers His best to me each and every day
His
words are wise, His actions strong
He
is the one to lead
As
I start upon my day
I
resolve to let Him lead
For
He can see and know the way
That
I should travel today
The
awesome power of the mighty God is in me today
I
will step back and let Him work in and through me today

Before thee
Fill my heart with
Cravings only for thee
Let me honor and glorify
Only thee with my life
Which Way

What Do I Do
How
do I regard the obstacles in my life
As
disasters or blessings
Do I
cry out and complain about them
Or
look for the lessons in them
Do I
see God's hand in each one
Or
see them as just hurt and pain
Do I
give thanks in all circumstances
Or
sit in self pity crying out, why me
As
each obstacle comes my way
Let
me listen to the lesson being taught
Let
me learn God's wisdom for my life
And
fly under God's protection
The Center of My Life
How do I come to the Lord
For I know He is always with me
But do I ignore Him
Or joyfully worship Him
For His being in me always
Is His promise to me
But often I take him for granted
Letting Him collect dust in
the corner of my heart
He calls be to return to Him
To make Him the center of my life
To worship and adore Him
Singing praises and dancing
before Him
Never do I want to neglect Him
Putting myself before Him
Instead His glory and honor
Is what I will shout and
dance about
24 Hours
Each day time is given to me
Twenty four hours
To use carefully
Yet so much of this time
I whittle and waste away
On things that do not matter
The Bible calls me to make
The best use of my time
By walking in God's wisdom
O, Lord direct my time
Let each moment of my day
Bring glory to you
What Else Can I Do
The Lord is gracious to me
His words fill my heart
They convict of my sin
But also tell of God's mercy
He fills my soul with gladness
For He has chosen me as His child
He tells and shows to me His love
He creates in me a yearning for Him
His words flow over me
Causing me to stop and ponder
How a Creator God could loveA sinner like me
Yet He has chosen me
To be His child
I have accepted His Son
As my Lord and Savior
I thank Him with all my heart
Obeying His commandments
For what else can I do
For the God who loves me
How Do You Worship
Have you ever thought
How you worship God
It is half hearted and dull
Or is is Spirit guided from within
In Heaven above
All creatures sing praises continually
To the only One who is worthy
To be praised forevermore
They sing forevermore of
His glory, honor, and salvation
They tell of His works
To all nations and men
Mirror them in your worship
Raise your voice in song
Declare with all your might
The greatness of God
Knowledge of God
I have often wondered
Why it is so hard
For certain people to accept
The love God has for them
Most people want the knowledge
And answers to hard questions
Before they will accept
Love from God
Yet man must accept and believe
In Christ first
Before Knowledge can be imparted
The Holy Spirit must indwell in them
This is hard for many people
To accept God loves them
But when they do
Knowledge of Him comes
Being A Witness
Oh how I struggle within myself
Am I a true disciple or just a fan
Do I truly want to serve my Lord
Or do I just want to cheer others on
Lord, my heart's desire is to serve
But sometimes I do not know how
I try and then fail when I do not seek you
Discouraged I become
Let my heart listen to you
Show me when, where,
And what to do
That will please you
I am seeking your guidance
As I want to be your disciple
I want to actively do your will
Being a witness for you
No Middle Ground - NEW!!!
There is no middle ground
On which to stand
Where Jesus is concerned
Either you accept Him as Lord
Or you reject Him totally
There is nothing in between
Either you honor Him with your life
Or you live always in sin
There is no middle ground
You choose hear on earth for eternity
Either heaven or hell
There are no other choices
What do you choose?
Deeper Understanding - NEW!!!
Holy Spirit of God
Pour into me today
The fruit that I need
To bring honor and glory to God
I know I lack wisdom
But I claim the promise
That If I ask in Christ's name
His wisdom will be revealed to me
So I come today asking
For deeper understanding
Of God's character and wisdom
To grow in knowledge of Him
My heart's desire is
To bring glory to God
So all may know
His loving grace
What Will It Be Like?
What will it be like
To meet Jesus face to face
His Spirit lives within me
But what will He say
What will I do
When His eyes I see
When His voice I hear
When His touch I feel
I so long to be with Him
To worship Him forever
To sing of His great glory
With all who belong to Him
I can not imagine
That glorious day
Yet It will come
And His face will smile at me
Heaven or Hell
Man has a choice on how to live his life
He can live on his own and die to life
Or he can chose, in Jesus, everlasting life
All men have this choice
Life eternal with Jesus
Or death eternal in Hell
What prompts the choice
Does man believe he is god
Or does he accept God as ruler of all
Look within yourself
Where does your heart turn
Is it to self or is it to God
Your choice will determine
Where you will spend eternity
Will you choose Heaven or Hell
Undertaker or Uptaker
Never will I be waiting for the undertaker
For I know when I die to Heaven I will go
For I know Jesus as my Lord and Savior
He is the up taker not the undertaker
My life is forever because of Him
He died and rose again to save all men
Let your soul forever sing glory to God
As you sit and behold His majesty
Do not let the undertaker have your soul
For all eternity you will be separated from God
Choose today your future forever
Will it be the undertaker or the uptaker
A New Day
A
new morning
What
does it hold for me
Will
I miss a time to talk
To
my Father in Heaven above
I
look for the day
What
will it hold
Business
of life
Or
God given tasks
Each
morning as I wake
Let
me look to God above
Let
me hear His voice
Before
I plan my day
For
then each action done
Will
be a gift from God
I
will not spin in earth's path
But
in the realm of Heaven above
God's Message Proclaimed
What
has it cost me to follow Jesus
Has
He used me as He wants
What
service has He intended for me
To
proclaim His message to this world
How
do I find out where I should be
How
do I communicate with God above
How
can I hear His voice guiding me
To
be His servant here on earth
Only
God knows all the answers
He
wants to guide my life
Surrender
of myself to Him
Is
where I need to start
In
His Word and in prayer
I
know He will answer
He
will take me where I am needed
To
proclaim His message of Salvation
Serve the Lord
Every
day as I awake
I
must pray to my Heavenly Father
To
guide my every step
And
that His will be done
For
it is in Him I want to live
Speaking
to others about Him
To
proclaim to the world
His
message of love and salvation
Yet
I am strongly tempted
To
ignore His will for me
It
is upon Him I must rely
For
strength to follow His lead
His
Spirit is in me
Ready
to lead me each day
O
let me serve the God I love
Not
my own selfishness
Why
Have you ever wondered
Why Jesus died for us
Why He took upon Himself
The righteous wrath of God
Why did He submit Himself
To God abandoning Him
While on as cross He hung
With all man's sin upon Him
He did it because God willed it
To provide atonement for sin
His blood washed away our sin
And with it God's wrath
We now have been justified
Before the Holy Almighty God
For God sees not our sin
But the righteous blood of the Lamb
The Trinity
Understanding
does not come easily
When
the Trinity I study
Three
in one, one in three
Makes
no sense at all
Far
beyond my comprehension
Yet
I believe in it my soul
For
I know whom I believe in
And
believe in what He says
God
the Father is Lord
Jesus
is my Salvation
The
Holy Spirit guides me
These
fact is know in my heart
One
day I will understand
What
now is a mystery
Yet
now I know without a doubt
The
Trinity is in me
Crucify
Crucify
Him yelled the crowd
Let
Him die for His blasphemy
All
together they banded
To
crucify the Son Of God
In
horror we read this
Never
would I do that I way
But
every time I sin
I
crucify Him Again
Fore
we need His salvation
For
this He did die
His
resurrection gives to us
Hope
of living in Him
Live
in Him each day
Crucify
Him no more
Let
Him into your heart
Live
in Him forevermore
Strike
Why
do I strike you
Like
the Jews did
Why
do I strike you
With
each sin I do
For
me you were humiliated
For
me you were struck
For
me you were beaten
For
me you were crucified
Yet
I continue to do the same
Even
though you are in me
I
turn my back on you
And
strike you with my actions
Forgive
me Lord
I
fall on my knees
Shamed
for my actions
Yet
you love me
You
washed away my sins
You
died so I might live
Let
me not strike you
But
honor and worship you
What Good Could Come
Illness
plagues me
Stress
play havoc in my soul
My
insides are wrenching
What
good could come from all of this
Yet
God is always with me
Carrying
me through these times
Instead
of crying I should be praising
My
Almighty God
Worshipping
and praising
Turned
me around
Instead
of cursing the day
I
sang jubilant songs of praise
For
God has shown me
This
will be my Year of Jubilee
No
matter what come my way
My
heart will sing songs of praise
Can Your hear God's Voice
Can
your hear God's voice
When
He speaks to you
Or
is there so much noise
Interfering
with your hearing
God's
voice is quiet
He
wants to enter your heart
He
waits for you to be still
To
turn in silence to Him
So
quiet yourself today
Let
God's voice speak
For
when you hear Him
He
speaks of His love for you
Reveal Yourself
Reveal
yourself unto me oh Father
For
I am lost in my path
What
direction to go I do not know
Reveal
your way unto me
Reveal
your love that I may feel
Your
hand upon my soul
Fill
me up with your Spirit
For
I feel lost within myself
Reveal
your glory unto me
So
that I worship only thee
Open
my hearth and soul to thee
Rule
within me
Reveal
yourself unto me I pray
That
I may serve thee always
Open
my eyes that I may see
Your
glory revealed unto me
Quicken My Heart
Each
day that I awaken
And
turn my heart to Heaven
The
Spirit of of the Lord
Quickens
my heart
He
writes upon my heart
His
eternal truths
The
He reveals to me
How
to respond to them
When
I totally trust in Him
His
will guides me
He
uses me
To
bring renewal to others.
Bit
if I sit idle
Only
listening and not acting
Someone
may not hear
Christ's
life giving words
Quicken
my heart Oh God
Lead
and guide me
Use
me today to further your kingdom
Here
on earth
Open or Closed
When
God created the world
All
was perfect in paradise
Then
Adam and Eve ruined it
By
opening the door on sin
That
door remained opened wide
Until
God intervened
He
sent His Son to redeem us
Closing
the door on sin
Yet
man has a choice
To
open that door again
Until
Christ comes once more
And
forever triumphs over sin
What
is your choice
An
open or closed door
Will
you let sin ruin you
Or
will Christ redeem you
That
choice is all yours
You
control your destiny
Death
at the hand of sin
Or
Eternal Life through Jesus Christ
Who is God
Christ
is in my life, this I know
For
I asked Him to come long ago
Yet
how much do I know
About
the King that lives in me
How
often I sit and read
The
stories about His life
Yet
I hurry and say
All
this I have already read
Yet
he yearns to open my eyes
To
see more of Him
To
reveal deep within my soul
The
majesty of who He is
Read
again He says to me
Those
old familiar stories
But
let me show through them
My
full glory, grace, and truth
Open
your heart, get to know me
In
a deeper more meaningful way
For
I desire to impart unto you
A
deeper lover and understanding of who I am
Restore Me Unto You
Oh
Lord my God I cry out to you
Convict
my heart to repent
Let
me know of what I do
That
drives me away from you
For
I desire to be cleansed within
Wash
away my sins
Let
me stand before your throne
Restored
by the blood of the Lamb
For
my heart's desire is to serve only you
Not
to fall away from your path
Oh
Lord my God, I cry out to you
Restore
me unto you once again
What do I have in Christ
What
do I have in Christ
Salvation
for eternity
Forgiveness
for my sins
Guidance
in all things
Love
forever more
No
matter what I suffer
Whatever
happens to me
Eternal
life is mine forever
Never
lost will I be
For
I live in Christ
The
Son of the Eternal Living God
Cleanse Me Within
Cleanse
me within from all my sin
Purify
my heart
So
that I may take part
In
the plans you have for me
Unless
I confess
And
want to posses
All
that you have for me
Never
will I be able to face
The
Holiness of your grace
So
cleanse me and make me
Into
what you want me to be
A servant of the High and Most Holy God
What Is to Come?
What
is to come is not yet clear
But
the journey has started to get there
The
Lord asks me to open my heart
And
let Him work in me
He
wants to prepare me
As
I walk with Him
For
the tasks He has for me
I
need to learn to wait for Him
To
show me each new thing
Slow
down, He says, Walk with me
Hurry
not this process
For
the journey is long to provide time for you
To
understand all I shall reveal
Walk
with me this day
Talk
with me as we go
For
today I will impart
Knowledge
to you
Of
the place I'm leading you
Listen
to what I say to you
Mediate
today on my words
Let
them fill you with joy, hope, and peace
As
we travel together today
Insight
How
shall I know what the Lord wants me to do
Sometimes
the scriptures make no sense to me
I
wonder what the Lord is trying to tell me to do
He
calls to me and tells me
He
desires to give me His insight
Knowledge
and discernment of His plan for me
He
will show me with clarity
How
shall I gain this I ask
What
do I need to do
When
I try on my own
Discouragement
fills my soul
Let
My Spirit guide you, God says
To
understand my words
I
will open your heart and mind
To
my love and wisdom
When
you try on your own
Your
spiritual vision is clouded
Your
own desires and plans
Replace
my clear vision and understanding
So
seek and reflect upon God's words
Ask
Him for clarity
Remove
He will what clouds your vision
His
vision will be clearly seen
Submission
Today
I am called to submission
Not
by force, but by choice
To
put aside what I was to do
To
let God's plan be what I choose to do
For
when I submit to my Lord
Respect
and love I show Him
To
Him I say - Your way is best
I
choose to follow you
In
loving guidance He leads me
Upon
the path I should walk
He
sees all that is around me
That
might harm me
So
in love and respect for my God
Today
I will submit to Him
Where
He leads I will go
Listening
to His words of guidance
Time of Life
What
time of life is upon me?
This
I do not yet see.
God
will fill me up
and
carry me through out this new time
I
am scared - this I know - of what it may be
But
first I must trust for I do not walk alone
Oh
Lord God
what
ever this may bring
I
am ready to move
forward
on the path
you
have for me
I
trade fear for excitement
as
this journey unfolds
Use
me in your will
I
am ready to move on
Travel
with God
In
the stillness of a moment
God
enters my soul today
He
tells me of the plans he has for today
He
tells me to be quiet and listen to his ideas
For
in them he will lead me along his perfect path
Slow
down he says
Listen
more
Your
life will be richly blessed
I
have things for you to do today
to
help others know me
Where
will I go and what will I do I ask my Lord and Savior-
Wait,
see and travel with me
At
the end of the day you will be amazed
at
what has happened today
So
travel with me today!
What Does the Day Bring
The
day comes, what does it bring
Things
I do not know
Yet
Christ knows what lies ahead of me
He
see the path I must walk
He
knows where I will trip
But
if I rely on Jesus today
to
guide me along that path
Then
I walk not alone
He
will hold me up
He
will point the way
The
path will become straight and true
I
will not stumble along this path
For
it is the path of God
I
walk not alone when I walk this path
God
will walk with me today
Are You Forgiven?
Are
you forgiven?
What
does the cross mean to you?
Do
you remember
Christ’s
sacrifice for you?
He
has risen,
so
that you may fully live!
Go
and tell other
what
he did for you.
Live
forever
in
His holy name.
Rise
to Heaven.
Worship
Him.
He’s
my savior
forever
more.
Reach Out and Touch Me
Oh
Lord, reach out and touch my heart today
Cleanse
me from my sins
Redeem
all of me
Take
my hand and guide me where you want me to go
Let
your glory shine out through me today
Touch
my mouth and let me say only words from you
Open
my ears and let me hear your voice speaking to me
Reach
out, Oh Lord, and touch me
So
that I may touch others for you
Who Am I?
Who
am I? I ask
Your
are my child, answers God
That
is who you are
An
extension of me art thou
Created
you were
To
show me to others
When
you opened your heart to me
In I
came to fill you up
Nothing
within you is kept from my touch
My
love fills you
My
Spirit dwells within you
Through
Him you can know my mind and thoughts
So
Child - ask not who am I
For
you are mine
Your
are a Child of the King
What Do You Want?
What
Oh Lord do you want in my life
I
open my mind and heart to the Great I Am
Lead
me where you want me to go
For
Lord I declare
You
are the only one I will follow
Take
charge within me
I
lay my life open to you
Reign
in me Oh Lord
Where are You God
Where
are you God
Why
do you not answer
I
call out for you
Yet
all goes wrong
Why are you letting me down
The
Lord answered
You
are standing in my way
You
are blocking the road
Step
back and let me work
For
I am sovereign in all things
Yet
you do not let me work in your life
I
work in my own time
I
answer in my own way
So
travel with me
Let
me work
Stand
behind me
See
what I do
When
you are faithful to me
Come in Quietness
In
quietness come before your Lord
Sit
at His feet and listen
He
will impart unto you
His
words of love and wisdom
As
you start each day
Listen
for His guiding words
For
each day is a gift He gives
Filled
with His blessings
He
desires to impart to you
A
deeper understanding of Himself
So
as you go forth into the world
Others
see Him through you
So
quietly come before your Lord
Listen
and learn from Him
The
lessons He has are only for you
So
that you may be more like Him
Lack of Understanding - NEW!!!
Understanding have not I
Of the power of God
But faith and trust I do have
For the One
who loves me
For out of darkness He called me
To be forever His
He saved me from eternal death
To forever live with Him
What else can I do to show Him
My love and thankfulness
But fall on my knees before Him
Worshipping only Him
Prayer - NEW!!!
Before God's throne I stand
As here on earth I pray
On my knees I fall
In worship adoring Him
Thanking Him for who He is
And what He does
Crying out for forgiveness
For turning away from Him
Begging for His mercy
That I will never deserve
Petitioning Him for others
For salvation and help
Being silent before Him
As He soothes my soul
Prayer is my lifeline
To the Almighty God
Trust in the Lord - NEW!!!
Fear not the Lord tells us
What ever situation you are in
He has promised to be with you
And to protect you
The burdens that come
to you
Come to teach you faith and trust
Cast them back on Jesus
And let Him handle them for you
Fret not about your life
Because fear will grip you
Your peace and joy from Jesus
Cannot live where fear is
Be thankful in all circumstances
Be joyful in all trials and persecution
For He promises to be with you
Building your faith in Him
You are not abandoned
Jesus is with you always
You will soar above all things
When you trust in the Lord
God Loves Me
The Lord God loves me
He has told me in His Word
But daily He also shows me
By His grace and love
He wakes me up with scripture
That feeds and calms my soul
He fills my thought with choruses
That bring joy to my heart
He reminds me through creation
That He is Lord over all
He uses anyone and anything
To encourage me
How can I say thank you
To the most Holy God
By lovingly obeying Him
Moment by moment today
To Be Known
To
be known for something
Is
what man seeks
In honor
or disgrace
Man
seeks recognition
But
Christ has called me
My
name is always before Him
It
is engraved on His hands
Because
of His sacrifice for me
So
my identity is in Him
Glorifying
Him is my yearning
So
others will not see me but Him
Recognizing
His love and grace
Wrap Me Up
Wrap
me up in your love
Let
me sit with you
Put
your arms around me
Keeping
me next to you
Your
love spilled for me
Let
it flow over me
Washing
me clean and pure
It
overwhelms me
Keep
me close to thee
Sitting
in you presence
Feeling
your joy around me
Wrapping
me up in your love
Instructions
Jesus has left for us
Instructions on how to live
That ensure that to Him
That all glory is given to Him
Not all these instructions seem
Easy to carry out on earth
For only when we live in His
strength alone
Can we accomplish His will
for us
Rejoice always and in all circumstances
We are told to do
But life throw at us obstacles
That take our eyes off of Him
Pray in all circumstances
without ceasing
Is another instruction on
how to live
Yet we determine in our own lives
Not to be dependent on
anyone or anything
Only truly letting go of self
Trusting in Jesus alone
Will allow us to rejoice, pray
And give thanks in all circumstances
His instructions are for us
To lead us in living for Him
To point others to life in Him
Giving all glory unto our Messiah
Walk in Faith
We are called to walk by faith
Not by what we see here on earth
For earth has been corrupted
By sin and is decaying
We are called to look to Jesus
He is the author and
finisher of our faith
He has good works for us to do
That He has planned for us
If we falter in our faith
Letting sin be our focus
Then His plans are set aside
Replaced by our sinful desires
Come back to our Savior
Walk in his strength and might
Let your faith increase
By always following Him
Expecting
Expecting only in Jesus
Is what I am called to do
Not expecting in
Things of this world
For things in this world
Will disappoint me
While things from Jesus
Will surpass human expectations
Letting go of what I expect
Accepting what God has for me
Putting my faith and trust in Him
Brings me His peace, joy, and love
God's Peace
God's peace is what I desire
In my every moment of life
His peace cannot be understood
Unless you believe in Him
His peace guards my heart and mind
It is given to us through Jesus, His Son
This peace can replace our anxiousness
If you give all that to God
Pray about everything
Be not anxious about anything
Give all things over to Him
With thanksgiving in your hearts
Then let Him work in thee
He will replace every anxious moment
With His deep abiding peace
Rest and be thankful to Him
My Purpose
Holding fast to Jesus
Is what I want to do
Living for Him each day
Is my purpose in life
Being ready each day
To accept trials and blessings
Knowing each is designed
With me in mind
To provide me growth
To ready me for Heaven
To build me up, lest I fall
To be more like Him
Bringing glory to God
Is my purpose for living
Let all that is in me
Bring honor and glory to Him
Only His Voice
Hold thou my hand today
Oh Lord I pray
Lead and guide my every step
Till with Thee I am
Let no harm come to me
As with thee I travel
Each day in this life I live
To Thee I give myself
Let all that I do today
Bring honor unto thee
Let your voice be the only one
I listen to and obey
Use me as Thou wilt
Let me live to honor Thee
For only in Thee I believe
My God in whom I trust
Let your voice be the only one
I listen to and obey
Godliness
Becoming like Christ
Is a Christian's goal
To embrace His life
Is what we are called to
We should seek
In a reverent attitude
To please God
In all things
We have to deny
Each action that would
Not please Him
Living instead the opposite
Renew your minds in Christ
Is what the Bible teaches
Let it guide
you in how
To please God in all things
Your Security
I come to thee today
Knowing only in Thee
Am I safe and secure
Wrapped in true love
Nothing this world offers
Comes even close
To the security you offer
To those who are yours
Thank you my Lord
For saving me from death
For you gave up your life
For sinners such as me
Today let me tell others
That only in Thee is life
True abundant life
That is pure undiluted love
Debt of Sin
O the debt of sin
A non believer carries
Is heavy and burdensome
Leading to death
Only believing in Jesus
As Lord and Savior
Accepting His sacrificial gift
Can take away that load
Let us who believe
And live in freedom from death
Tell others of Jesus
And His gift of life
God desires all men
To come unto Him
To believe and have
Freedom from sin
Dining With Jesus
The King appeared at the gate
Come in He said to me
I have been waiting for you today
To come and dine with me
I followed His Majesty
To His dining room we went
He pulled out a chair for me
I sat and then He whispered to me
Welcome home my child
I have a feast prepared
Come fellowship and eat with me
For in love I have called you here
Then all of Heaven joined us
And I felt with all of my heart
That Jesus had picked the perfect day
For me to dine with Him
Living With Christ
I don't remember the moment
That Jesus came into my heart
A small child was I
But I knew He was in me
It was only as I matured and grew
That the significance of my salvation
Came into focus for me
And I grew to know Him better
As I enter the evening of my life
I cannot fathom how I would have lived
If He had not been in me every moment
To lead and guide my life
So I bow on my knees in gratitude
To worship the King
Who bestowed at an early age
His love and redemption on me
Yield To God
God's plan for my life is perfect
He desires to lead and guide me
Yet He will not interpose this plan
Unless I ask Him to do so
Most days I do not ask
I am risking everything
For am I am not in His will
I am vulnerable to the enemy
Why would I want this
When I know God knows all
He only has the best for me
To teach and guide me
Let me everyday yield
To His will for me
For He cares and watches
Over me all the days of my life
Belonging To Jesus - NEW!!!
My life belongs to Jesus
He ransomed my soul
He paid the ultimate price
So I could live
Each day as I ponder
His gift of love to me
I know without a doubt
In his debt I am
So my eyes are upon Him
To Him all glory belongs
Each day I will live my life
Surrendering all to Him
Glorify God - NEW!!!
God knew before I was born
What plans He had for me
He created me to do good woks
That would glorify Him
Yet He gave unto me a free will
To choose the way I would live
Yet also He lovingly called unto himself
And I chose to follow Him
Daily I will choose to give Him my will
So He can work through me
For my desire is to do His will
Bringing glory to Him
Work through me O Lord
Let your good works be done
Use the plans you have for me
To bring glory unto Thee
Homeward Bound
Homeward bound am I
I live to see Jesus one day
All my actions here on earth
Should be preparing me to see Him
Yet I live not this wayMy earthly desires impede
my way
They focus me on earthy desires
Not on God's plan for my life
To bring God His due glory
To live today to please only Him
To show Him to others
To spread the Gospel to all men
Let me look to Heaven above
To seek God first in my life
To please Him with all I do
Seeking to be with Him always
God is in Charge
God is in charge of everything
Nothing will keep Him from succeeding
His plan for this earth will prevail
No matter what man does
He will receive His glory
That is due to Him
For all things were made by Him
It is man who ruined God's creation
Yet God in His mercy
Does not abandon us
He provided redemption for us
Through His Son's sacrifice
We have been offered
Life that will not end
IF we accept God's gift
We will rise to live with Him
Let all the earth be redeemed
For God will reclaim His creation
A new Earth and Heaven will become
His dwelling place among men
Hallelujah
Emulating
Emulating my Lord
Is what I strive for
But how I fail
In my own strength
On my own
I never succeed
Only relying on Christ
Is my hope to live eternally
For His sacrifice
On the cross of Calvary
Is what gives me life
Eternally with Him
Christ gave his all
As a servant to mankind
Let me emulate His love
Serving others for Him
As a Baby O God
As
a baby sleeps in quite contentment
Let
my soul rest in thee O God
As
a baby watches for his mother
Let
my eyes always seek thee O God
As
a baby seeks parental attention
Let
my heart seek only your attention O God
As
a baby hears and recognizes the voice of a mother
Let
me only hear your voice talking to me O God
As
a baby rejoices when he is loved
Let
me rejoice in your love O God
As
a baby grows from childhood to maturity
Let
me mature under thy grace O God
Confront vs Comfort
These
words at first look alike
But
so different are they
One
is so hurtful
The
other the opposite
Confronted
is to be condemned
All
eyes are on you
The
world against you
Looking
for worldly justice
Comfort
is to be hidden
In
the arms of a loved one
Hearing
reassuring loving words
Being
kept safe from all harm
Jesus
was condemned for our sakes
He
bore the wrath of God
All
our sins fell on Him
So
His comfort we can have
Here and Now
Each
day as I awake
I
thank the Lord
For
one more day
To
honor and serve Him
Yet
I one day I will not wake
Up
on this earth
But
in Heaven above
In
His glorious presence
On
that day I will be
In
the presence of my Savior
Falling
on my knees I will be
Praising
His Holy Name
Let
me live for that day
Not
for another day on earth
Let
all my words and actions
Glorify
and Honor Him
For
I strive not for the here and now
But
for eternity with Jesus
I
look to Heaven above His guidance here and now
In Repentance
When
in repentance I come
To
God through faith in His Son
I
have accepted His grace
And
my sinfulness
In
Christ I have put my faith
As
the only way to live
Both
in this worldly age
And
forever with God above
For
God's kingdom has come
When
Christ came to earth
He
will one day reign on high
All
will bow to Him
Let
me serve my Savior
Here
on the earth right now
Let
me further God's Kingdom
By
how I live for Him
Only
then will I have been
A
witness for my Savior
Showing
to all I encounter
God's
wonderful saving grace
Let Me Be
Lord,
may I be for you
A
utensil of gold
Clean
and pure
To
be used to honor thee
Lord,
let me live my life
Following
your will
So
that you can use me
To
be a blessing to others
Lord,
let me live for thee
In
all I do and say
To
show others your love
Unspoiled
and unblemished
Lord,
let me be to thee
Your
loving servant
Use
me as you choose
To
honor and glorify thee
Sabbath
To
take wing and fly
Into
the presence of God
Is
what the Sabbath is for
To
rise above our daily life
Leaving
it all behind
As
we rest in God's peace
He
created the Sabbath for us
He
knew how tired we can get
And
how to rejuvenate us
So
take flight on the Sabbath
Leave
behind the grind
Let
God restore your Spirit
Six
days God created
On
the Sabbath He rested
Let
us do the same
The Fight is Done
Before God I once stood
A gentile, not a first born son
He saw me as I was
A lost soul unto Him
Yet through His Son's sacrifice
I now stand as His child
Adopted through my belief in Christ
An heir I became
No longer does He see
The sinful nature that plagues me
He sees His Son's blood
That washes my soul clean
So fight I must
Against my sinful nature
Striving to obey God's will
Living in accordance with Him
One day that fight will be done
When in glory I stand
Sin will no longer reign
The King of Kings will triumph over all
Marathon to Heaven
As
a believer I am called
To
walk each day with my Lord
To
look to Him for guidance
To
follow where He leads
He
calls me to endure
The
thorns that arise
That
try to trip me up
As
I walk in this sinful world
Each
day I must arise
Preparing
myself to walk
Through
the muck and mire
That
is thrown at me
Only
through communication
Can
I stand on two feet
When
I falter and fall
He
carries me in His arms
One
day when in Heaven I arrive
My
race will be done
He
will open wide His arms
And
welcome me to the finish line
Chosen
Chosen was I by God
To become His daughter
Nothing I did deserves
His loving kindness to me
Dirty and lost He found me
Steeped in bitterness and misery
He quietly took me in His arms
Wrapping His love around me
He washed me in the blood
Of his beloved Son, Jesus
Which took all of my filth away
Leaving me pure in God's eyes
How thankful I am to Jesus
Who took my punishment
Now I stand Before God Almighty
As His chosen Daughter
Roots
The roots of my life
Are in God's Word
They are nourished each day
By His truth, wisdom, and knowledge
When watered thoroughly
By His life giving words
My life grows and blossoms
Yielding fruit pleasing to Him
When I place my trust elsewhere
Holding hope in this sinful world
My roots wither and fade away
No longer am I pleasing to God
So rooted in His words and love
Will I remain each day
He will guide me unto Himself
To imperishable everlasting life
Prayer
Come before the Lord in fervent prayer
Seek His will for you
Ask in the name of His Son
For your request to glorify Him
Seek His guidance first
Ask with pure motives
Knock on His door in humbleness
These prayers He will answer
Expect the unexpected
When you seek to glorify God
For God wants us to feel His love
And enjoy being in His presence
Pray continuously
You will be in His presence
He wants us to lean on Him
For His will and guidance
God’s Living Words
Upon
what do I dwell
What
feed my soul
Is
it the lies that tear me down
Or
God’s living words of truth
Under
the influence of sin
My
soul dies within
Nothing
that I alone can do
Can
break the bondage of sin
God
in is great mercy
Has
provided a way of escape
Through
belief in His Son
Our
hearts are set free from sin
Dwell
on His words
They
will open your eyes
To
understanding of God’s love
For
all mankind
Why Bother With Me
God
– you are all knowing
God
– you are all powerful
God
– you control all things
Why
bother with me
You
set this world into motion
You
created every living thing
You
are the source of all life
Why
bother with me
Your
words lead and direct all men
Your
plans you carry out
Nothing
and no one stands in your path
Why
bother with me
Yet
you reach down to me
Loving
and saving me
You
care about all in my life
You
listen to my every word
You
do not turn away from me
You
provide all I need
You
are gentle and kind to me
Thank
you for bothering with me
Treasure Box
My
treasure box is full
Upon
a shelf it sits
Never
do I take it down
For
fear of spoiling it
Its
contents are dear to me
Each
piece collected carefully
Fervently
I cling to them
As
if they could save my soul
Jesus
came into my heart one day
Asking
me to empty this box
Giving
up all that was my treasure
That
I had guarded so carefully
With
His help this I did
Throwing
away my earthly treasures
He
filled my box with His love and grace
Now
my treasure box overflows
Never
again will it sit
Closed
and guarded
For
this box which is my soul
Belongs
to my Lord Jesus Christ
All for Me
I
want everything I said to the Lord
All
that I think I need
I
don't want to suffer or be in pain
I
want life to be pleasant again
What
you suffer is used to guide you
Lean
and lean on me
Each
time you listen to my words
You
are coming closer to me
Anything
that touches you I have touched
It
will be used to prune your heart
Be
thankful that you are where you are
I
will be with you in every step
Find
your joy in me, not in this world
Trust
me for I am Yahweh
I
will protect and guide you every day
The
Lord God said unto me
Which Will You Choose -
Darkness
prevailed from the smoke of a fire
Sun's
brightness did not prevail
Is
this what eternal darkness will be
For
those who do not believe in Christ
The
air was dirty and unhealthy to breathe
All
people tried to stay away from it
But
in hell not shelter will be found
For
those who turn their backs on God
The
Son of Light came to save us
From
eternal darkness and damnation
Through
Him is the road to eternal life
That
God has for us in Heaven
Thoughtfully
think, which will you choose
The
fire and darkness of hell
Or
belief in the Son of God
Who
brings us His eternal light and life
Adopted
Adopted
was I by God
Through
the blood of His Son
He
looks on me with love
He
gives me all He has
His
Spirit He placed in me
To
guide my every step
He
never leaves or abandons me
Even
if I walk away
He
has prepared for me
An
inheritance of great worth
In
Heaven above I will live
When
my life on earth is done
Nor
worries do I have
For
God loves me so much
Through
His Son I became
An
adopted daughter of God
Accept God's Love
Over
and over you tell us
How
much you love us
Yet
we refuse to believeAnd turn away from you
You
sent you only Son
Who
died that we may live
Through
Him, blood was shed
So righteous we could be
Yet
man does not believe
Refuting
the Word of God
No
matter how many times you tell us
That
you love us
Let
man simply believe
The
words you tell us
That
you desire us to accept your love
That
you gave us through Christ your Son
Assurance
Jesus
is Lord this I know
Through
Him I overcome
All
this world throws at me
I
need not fear anything
For
God loves me
And
will protect me
No
matter what happens
In
my daily life I know without a doubt
I
am loved
This
assurance carries me
To
rise above and over come all things
In
the love I feel from above
Without a Doubt
I
awoke this morning
And
knew without a doubt
That
God loves me
He
reached down from Heaven
And
whispered in my ear
Feel
my love today
Know
that my love
Will
be with you always
Never
will it depart
For
you are my child
I
cherish you above all
Feel
my great love for you today
Dwell Among Us
From
the beginning of all time
To
the end of this earth
God has sought to dwell among us
From
the time of Moses
Down
through His Son
He
continually reaches out to us
Man
has broken these ties
From
the beginning of time
To
go his own selfish way
But
God waits painterly
Each
time we rebel
For
us to return to Him
Then
with open arms
H
embraces us
Welcoming
us back to Him
He
forgives our sins
He
binds our wounds
He
restores us unto Him
Let
us remain secure in Him
Let
us not rebel against
Our
God and King
For
when we remain
In
fellowship with Him
His
blessing will flow over us
Great
and mighty is the Lord
Who
wants to dwell among man
Great
and mighty is He
My Mind Races
My
mind races back and forth
From
one topic to the next
It
will not settle down
Until
on Christ I rely
It
frets about what to do
It
worries way too much
For
when I take my eyes off of Christ
The
devil sneaks in and hides
Satan
plants seeds of doubts
He
tends them as they bloom
My
mind is taken over completely
By
those destructive weeds of doubt
Let
Christ control all my thoughts
He
will banish those weeds of doubt
Instead
will bloom His peace and love
On
Him I will rely
Be Thou My Consolation
Be
thou my consolation today
Oh
Lord this I pray
Comfort
me when I cry
Let
my hope come from thee
Roads
to travel, things to do
That
scare me half to death
Yet
I face them not alone
For
by my side thou art
Let
me feel your arms around me
Let
me focus on thee
For
then whatever faces me
I
can do in thee
Be
thou my consolation today
Oh
Lord this I pray
So
instead of crying
Thy
Holy Name I will praise
Come I Have Called You
Come
I have called you
To
come unto me
All
that I have for you
I
will give unto thee
Listen
to my voice
For
it gives you life
Life
to live in this world
But
also everlasting life
Hear
the words I say unto you
For
they will nourish your soul
They
will fill you up with my love
Until
you want no more
Come
I have called you
Run
into my arms
For
I am waiting
To
forever love thee
Adoption
Adopted
at birth was I
By
my Holy Lord
When
a believer I became
My
second birth occurred
He
opened His arms to me
He
called me to come to Him
When
I came unto Him
His
child I became
Now
He
holds me tight
His
love encompasses me
Fear
has no hold on me
Abba
Father He is to me
All
that I need He provides
His
blessings He gives to me
I
approach His throne not in fear
For
my loving Father is He
Before All Time
Before
all time began
God
loved me
He
knew that one day
I
would come to love Him
He
puts into place each day
Ways
to show me His love
Then
He waits for me to turn
And
open my arms unto Him
Then
He envelope me
With
all the love He has
He
holds me tenderly
Never
letting me go
He
loves and cherishes me
As
a precious jewel
For
in His eyes I sparkle
With
the love He gives to me
To
no other am I as treasured
As
the Lord treasures me
For
He came to earth and died
Because
God so loved me
My Heart is the Home
My
heart is the home
For
my Lord, Jesus Christ
He
dwells within me
He
longs to live in a home
That
has been swept clean
Where
no trace of sin remains
Daily
I must awaken
And
ask His forgiveness
Only
then does cleanliness come
Then
He can work through me
He
can use me
To
tell others of His love and grace
I Need You Oh Lord
I
need you oh Lord
In
my life today
In
all I do and say
Guide
my way
Let
me lean upon your hand
For
I am weary within
All
that surrounds me
Confuses
and perplexes my soul
Let
your comfort enter into me
So
that I feel your hand guiding me
Touch
my eyes and let me see
The
path you have for me
Be
in control in my life today
Guide
my every step
So
that when this day is through
Your
will in my life has been done
The Divine Deity
The
Divine Deity lives inside of me
He
longs to work through me
To
show to others His great love
He
came to dwell within me
When
I believed in His name
Forever
His child I will be
His
Spirt dwells within me
To
provide guidances for my life
So
that each step I take is directed by Him
In
Him I put my faith
To
guide my every step
So
that with each breath I take I honor Him
The
Diving Deity lives inside of me
May
I forever let Him be seen
By
all who see me
Jesus Loves Me
Jesus
loves me this I know
In
my heart, body, and soul
He
comes to me and holds me tight
Until
I feel wrapped in His love
Then
He promises never to leave
Even
though I stray from Him
When
I turn to look for Him
His
arms He holds out to me
For
it is not Him who walks away
But
I, who goes merrily on my way
He
gazes tenderly after me
Calling
me to come back to Him
When
I turn back to Him
His
love envelopes me
He
holds me tight until I know
That
Jesus loves me
Crumbs
Crumbs
need I not eat
From
the table of my Lord
For
He has called me
To
come and eat with Him
He
serves all that He has
He
lays it in from of me
He
urges me to partake of
His
life giving meal
The
bread that He serves
Is
His body broken for me
The
cup that is passed
Is
His blood shed for me
When
I partake and believe in Him
His
food of life saves me
For
the Lord has prepared
This
feast for all who will believe
My Heart Belongs to Jesus
My
heart belongs to Jesus
For
He is my Redeemer
All
He has done for me
To
Him I give my love
He
calls me every morning
To
arise and walk with Him
He
whispers into my ear
How
much He loves me
Through
out the day to Him I turn
When
all is out of control
When
He enters into my heart
His
peace comforts my soul
As
nighttime creeps in upon me
He
wraps His arms around me
He
protects me from all harm
As
I rest wrapped in His love
My
heart belongs to Jesus
My
Lord and Redeemer
For
deep inside my soul
Understanding
of His love envelopes me
Crystally Clear
Crystally
clear Christ speaks to me
Imparting
His words of love
He
plants within my heart
A
desire to learn about Him
He
open my ears that I may hear
Him
speaking directly to me
He
unbridles my sight so that I may see
His
hand guiding me
When
I confess my sins to Him
Righteous
in His eyes am I
Then
I clearly see His face
And
the love He has for me
Lead
me today Oh Lord my God
Hold
me in thine hand
Let
me clearly hear your words of love
That
I may learn about thee
God's Path
I
know not what today brings
But
I know I must follow my Lord
For
He sees my day laid out
According
to His will
When
I follow His lead
I
will not stray from His path
He
will be with me
In
every step I take
But
when I do not listen
To
His gentle guiding voice
Off
I go on my own
Wandering
about
Trouble
plagues me
At
every turn I make
Anxiety
and fear enter my heart
Where
God's love and peace had dwelt
So
today I will follow
My
Lord, my Savior, my King
Trusting
His promises to guide me
No
matter what crosses my path
Freedom
God
has made me just as I am
Different
from all other human beings
He
has put in my heart His mission for me
He
has equipped me to do His will
Yet
I let my humanness get in His way
I
set out a path to follow
I
decide what I need to go that way
Without
consulting my Lord
When
the Lord has free reign in my life
His
perfect plans for me can be carried out
But
when I insist upon my plans
My
life completely falls apart
So
turn my eyes upon Him I must
Give
Him all of myself
Turn
over to Him my free will
Let
Him lead and guide me
When
I turn everything over to Him
Freedom
enters my soul
Freedom
from worry and anxiety
Freedom
to worship and serve my Lord
Be First
Be
first Oh Lord I pray
In
all I do today
Let
all I say
Come
from you today
Be
first Oh Lord I pray
In
all my thoughts today
May
what I do come from you
And
truly honor you
Be
first Oh Lord I pray
In
my attitude toward life today
For
with your life you did pay
So
that my life will not be thrown away
Be
First Oh Lord I pray
Before
thee I bow today
I
humbly come unto you
Thanking
you for all you do
He Calls My Name
Jesus
calls my name
One
He gave to me
When
I turned and saw in Him
The
savior of my soul
Each
day He calls to me
To
come, sit, and learn
What
He envisions for me
What
my new name means to Him
For
when I believed in Him
My
sin fell away
A
new creature I became
Under
His loving care
Renamed
was I by the Lamb
When
unto Him I came
He
calls my name and I hear
His
voice of love speaking to me
His name for me is unique
No
one else will ever bear it
It
describes who I am
In
the eyes of the Almighty God
Come
He calls unto me
Sit
and learn of me
For
your name reflects my great love
To
others who see me in you
God's Covenants
God's
promises are true and right
What
He says He does
Not
in ways we think He should
But
by the plan of His hand
The
Bible contains His promises
Each
one will be fulfilled
Not
by the timing here on earth
But
in the timing of the Almighty
We
search to find God's promises
To
see what He plans for us
But
then to them we give our spin
On
how and when they should happen
Disappointment
enters in
When
God doesn't respond on our schedule
Anger
at Him causes disbelief
Our
faith and trust fade away
Instead
we should give Him cart blanche
To
carry out His plans
No
strings we should add, nor help does He need
Expect
for us to trust in Him
So
look today, examine yourself
Am
I impeding God
From
carrying out His promises
And
plans for my life
Step
aside must I
Let
the Almighty bless me
In
faith I will trust His mighty hand
To
keep His covenants
Life Giving Food
Eat
not the deceptions of the devil
Focus
not on his evil dribble
Turn
to me and let me feed you
Bread
that gives you life
Food
from Satan will cause starvation
My
food sustains you
It
gives you energy
To
live for me
Starve
yourself not to death
Eat
of me and live eternally
A Deeper Relationship
God
calls me today
Into
a deeper relationship with Him
He
calls me by name
To
venture out with Him
He
sees where He wants me to go
He
knows what He wants me to do
He
asks me to trust
Completely
and totally in Him
For
when I do
He
can act without hindrance from me
Faith
and trust is what
I
must give today to my Lord
For
when I surrender myself to Him
My
relationship with Him deepens
He
can then impart to me
His
wisdom and knowledge
Serving the Lord
Step
out in faith
Let
God work in you
He
has given you talents and gifts
To
use to glorify Him
What
holds you back
From
serving your Lord
Fear
comes from one
Who
opposes our Lord
Each
day as I arise
Christ
reminds me of His love
That
conquers all fear
That
stands in my way
Step
out I must
In
faith and trust
Following
where He leads
Doing
what He wants
For
when I fulfill
His
purpose for me
Then
furthering His Kingdom
Is
His plan for me
My
hope and dream
As
a servant of the King
Is
to stand and hear
Him
speak to me
Come
unto me
Child
of the King
Stand
before me in royalty
My
good and faithful servant
Sin Does Not Have to Rule
Sin
does not have to rule in my life today
Even
when temptations come my way
Jesus
Christ , my Lord and Savior
Faced
every temptation that comes my way
He
never gave in
He's
victorious over sin
His
words promise me
That
when I follow Him
The
power He has
Lives
in me
So
when temptations come my way
To
His word I will go
There
I will find strength
To
stay away from sin
Yearning to See Jesus NEW!!!
I
come Oh Lord to you today
Seeking
you in humbleness
My
eyes want to see your glory
In
everything there is
My
heart yearns to know your love
And
to pass it on to others

Use
me to glorify thy name
A Brand New Name
Into
this world I came
Born
of human parents
Given
a name by them
To
carry throughout my life
Taught
by them was I
To
believe in Jesus Christ
To
know and accept
His
great gift of redemptive love
Throughout
my life I have learned
To
live by God's gift of grace
He
leads me every day
Along
His chosen path
On
the last day of creation
As
it is known
Christ
will come again
And
call me home
In
Heaven above I will stand
Before
the Lord my God
He
will give to me
A
brand new name
Forever
I will live
Waiting
for Him to call
The
name He has given to me
As
a child of the Living God
Mourning and Dancing
I
have taken you through a sorrowful, mournful time
A
time where I have asked you to fully rely on me
I
have shown you how to rely on me and only one me
No
one on earth can fulfill you
Only
I can meet all your needs
Now
it is your time to dance
Dance
with me as your partner
For
I will guide you where you need to go
And
show you the steps to take
Dance
with me
For
my joy will be the music you hear
Dance
with me in you heart
Dance
for I am in you
Covenant
God
has brought to me
His
covenant of salvation
He
writes His promises
Deep
within my heart
No
more must man sacrifice to be cleansed from his sins
For
Christ laid down His life as the last sacrifice needed
God's
new covenant is made known
To
all who will see
For
God desires a relationship
With
all to will turn to Him
So
turn will I
And
look upon the face of love
For
I desire to love and serve
The
Lord of my life
Created was I to Serve
Created
was I to serve my God
To
show His glory to others
When
I walk with Him
All
that I am points to Him
Through
my sufferings
He
builds my faith and dependance upon Him
When
I succeed in this life
I
have not done anything without Him
My
success is used to show His glory
When
I yield all to Him
All
that I am in this life
Must
reflect back to Him
For
my purpose in this life
Is
to show His glory to others
Today
I must live as HE wants me to
Reflecting
His love to others
So
when He meets me in Heaven above
His
faithful servant I will have been
Sit and Rest
A
child of God am I
He
calls me unto Him
Sit
and rest in my care
Set
your worries aside
Do
not fret over this day
Remain
with me and rest
For
I will carry you today
Through
each task that comes your way
Look
not around you to see what must be done
Look
and listen to my voice
I
will soothe the fear in you
You
weariness will subside
So
sit and rest at my feet
Listen
to my soothing voice
I
call you not to be upset
But
to let my peace inside you dwell
Covered Am I
Covered
am I by God's Hands
He
protects me from all evil
He
writes His words upon my heart
He
shows His love to me by holding me tightly
Never
need I fear of what is in this world
Forever
God's hands will be upon me
Sometimes
they carry me through rough thorny patches
Always
they point out His glory
His
hands guide me along the path of life
They
point and show me His wondrous works
His
hands surround me in all places and at all times
Never
am I without the touch of His hands upon me
God's Seeds
Inside
me has been planted
God's
seeds of love and grace
His
words water and feed them
Giving
then all they need
To
bloom within me under the Master's care
As love and grace replace the seeds of sin and hate
Within me comes the joy of the beauty of love and grace
God's
love over shadows all that this is sinful in me

that is required of me
Is a
willingness to follow His lead
So

tells others His message of love and grace
Crown of Beauty
Beauty
is held in high esteem
By
people in this world
How
you look and thin you are
Are
jewels of an earthly crown
But
God's crown of beauty
Comes
from your soul
Out
shines the jewels
Of
patience, love, and joy
Earth's
crown of beauty
Will
crumble and fall away
For
it is based
On
what man has to say
But
God's crown of beauty
Will
never fade away
Its
brilliance increases daily
When
we walk with Him
So
look not today for Earth's Crown of Beauty
That
beauty dies and fades away
Look
to God to place upon you soul
His
eternal Crown of Beauty each and every day
No Shame
There
is no shame in how I'm made
For
I am made in God's image
Any
imperfections I may have

will heal in Heaven
As
I walk on this earth

I cannot be
For
as a soon as I was born
Imperfection
entered into me
These
imperfections drag me down
Into
the pit of despair
Try
as I might on my own
To
fight my way out
Overcome
am I with fear
God
reaches down to help me
Through
many different ways
He
provides for me just what I need
To
live each day in Him
No
matter what imperfections I have
Others
seen them not
Shame
will not over take me
For
through the eyes of God
Others
see His perfect love and grace
God's Voice

voice comes to me

voice is a lullaby
to quiet my soul
So
listen will I
to His great songs
For
through them
He speaks to me

Into Your House I Walk
Into
Your house I walk today,
Thirsty
as a deer panting for water
In
I walk not afraid
Waiting
to be filled by you
My
greatest desire is to walk in your ways
Filling
my soul to the brim
For
upon you I must rely
To
feed my soul each day
As
I draw close to you
Fill
me up with your words
In
you I will trust for my daily needs
Then
I will walk with you
Dear
Lord
Never
hungry or thirsty again
Scooped Up
Scooped
up I’ve been
by
the arms of my loving Savior
He
reached down and
wrapped
me in His arms
Safe
am I
like
a mother holding her baby
Never I need to worry
For
as I reach out to walk on my own
the
Lord’s hand is upon me
When
I fall
He
scoops me up once more
Love
flows from Him to me
until
my hurt is gone
Each
and every time I fall
God’s
hands are around me
His love flows through me
Showers from God
God
showers down upon me
His
life giving water
It
washes me clean
of
my sins and sorrows
It
leaves me full
Surrounded
by His peace
As
I walk through out the day
Sin
attacks my soul
It
tries to make me dirty within
To
feel turbulent again
But
God's peace is my barrier
From
all that tries to disturb me
It
fills the cracks
Where
sin tries to seep back in
When
I bathe daily in God's love and forgiveness
His
peace protects my soul
Fear of Death
The
fear of death will not overcome
those
who believe in God
For
death is the door
that
opens the gates to our eternal home
As
w step out of our mortal life
Christ
welcomes us home
We
will not look back and wish
For
the days of old
For
in Heaven above there waits for us
mansions
made by God
Each
room has been tailored made
by
the Creator himself
So
open the door of your heart
Let
the Creator come in
He
will guide and prepare your heart
With
death approaches
Your
fear will be replaced with rejoicing
The Child Within
The
child that is within you
Has
been chosen by God above
To
be raised in a Christian Family
Filled
with the love of God
Chosen
was this little one
Before
all time began
To
become a citizen
In
God's Heavenly Realm above
Each
movement that is made
Each
kick that is felt
Signals
a new life growing
Under
the Grace of God
Blessed
art you
Who
carries a new life within
Worthy
in His eyes are you
To
carry a Child of the King
Remain in Me
Remain
in me today
Run
not ahead of me
The
journey's begun
The
path is laid
But
you don't know the way
I
see the path you shall take
It
has many twists and turns
If
you try to go on your own
Lost
you shall become
Be
not anxious as we start
For
slow we must go
If
you step ahead of me
A
wrong turn you shall make
In
your heart you may think
Your
destination you know
But
the path that I choose for you
May
lead elsewhere
So
as this journey begins today
Walk
hand in hand with me
Listen
to what I say to you
For
I will teach you what you must know
Your
eyes will be opened
Your
hear will know the plans I have for you
When
the journey is done
The
destination is reached
You
will be well prepared
If
you travel with me and run not ahead of me
Belief and Faith
Belief and Faith walk hand in hand as we follow our King
Belief brings us to our knees as we accept His gift of salvation
Faith is then given as a gift from God to those who accept Him as King
With faith in Christ comes righteousness from God The Father above
In
His eyes we have been made right enabling us to stand before Him in
glory
Faith then encourages us to do Christ's will in our lives each day
Belief and Faith bring us to the throne of our King
The Lord is Here
I
know the Lord is here
Yet
I feel not His presence
All
of my heart yearns
For
a touch from His hand
My
mind says He's presence
Yet
my heart calls out
Come
Lord Jesus, Come
Hold
me in your arms
Inside
me He lives
This
I know and claim
That
each step I take
Is
under His guiding hand
So
Lord I know I live
Not
alone today
My
faith is in you alone
Carry
me throughout this day
Choices
God
is who He is
He
will be who He wants to be
He know all
He sees all
He rules all
We
try to change Him
To
how we want Him to be
We
try to bargain with Him
To
get what we want
Yet
He know the best choices for us
He
has blessings for us
He
knows the path we should take
He
has given us free will
To
choose how we should live
The
best choice we can make is
To
let God reign and rule in us
Let
Him who knows all make the choices
Follow
His will
His
blessings will flow down
You
will live forever in the Lord's light

Eternal Christmas Night
The
church was filled as the story was told
Of
the birth of our Savior so long ago
Each
verse that was read, each song that was sung
Reminded
the congregation of the story of old
How
one fateful night a small child was born
Who
was destined to save the world as a whole
From
Heaven above He left His home
To
dwell and live among the men of old
He
taught us God's love is for us to have
When
we accept His Son as the sacrificial lamb
So
arise today and sign the songs
That
tell of that night long ago
When
God sent His Son
From
Heaven on high
The
angels sang of the birth of a King
Who
would save all who believe in Him
So
join with the angels
Declare
with all your might
The
Joyous news of that
Eternal
Christmas Night
