I sing my songs to Jesus.  Love songs just for Him

He purchased my salvation, so to Him my praise I bring

Songs of joy and gladness are in my heart today

He leads me by His truth and daily lights my way

 

I love the book of hymns that were written long ago

Amazing Grace, He’s Alive, It is Well With My Soul

I also like the new music so abundant out today

There’s a rising up in worship that I hope won’t go away

 

But more than anything I love the songs he gives to me

In middle of the night He opens up my eyes to sing

I sit down very calmly and he gives me every word

Then I put the rhythm to it, and His story is now heard

 

I’ll give you some examples of the words to these new songs

The melody you’ll have to guess, as a video I don’t have

I hope these words will touch your lives as they have touched mine

If nothing else I hope your blessed by the nice poetic rhyme

 

Song #1  I Want to Thank You Lord

 

I want to thank you, Lord, for your mercy in my life

I want to thank you Lord, for your great sacrifice

You have given me your all

Help me give my all to you

I want to thank you, Lord  (This part is sung three times)

 

You deserve the highest praise

You deserve the highest praise

You deserve the highest praise

My heart can give (This part is sung twice, then close with the first part)

 

Song #2  We Lift You Up

 

(softly and soulfully)

As we come into your presence

And we turn our hearts to you

We out aside our care if earthly things

We have come to seek your kingdom

And we long for righteousness

Precious Lord, we want to glorify your name

 

We lift you up, we lift you up

We lift you up, Oh Lord, and praise your holy name

We lift you up, we lift you up

Come and draw us near to you, we lift you up (back to top first time through)

 

(with much enthusiasm)

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord (Back to we lift you up, with gusto!)

 

There’s a few examples of the songs He’s given me

There are hundreds more He’s blessed me with

I hope He never stops waking me in dead of night

To share with me these love songs I can give
