No Turning Back

No backing off
No strong regrets
No complaints said He
No bitter words
No turning back
His fate was meant to be

Tenacious In His vision
Determined in His quest
He would not be denied the victory
His destiny was death
Yet Forever He would live
As He purchased my salvation
And He set me free.

 

In response to the daily prompt Tenacious

Celebrate the Coming King

Lift up your hands
Shout out your praise
The Son of God
Enters today

He comes to set
His children free
He comes to give
His life for me

Sing Hallelujah to the King
Who rules both heaven and earth
His praises now we gladly sing
To tell of His great worth

We celebrate
Our coming King
Lifting our voice
We joyful sing

His praises reach
The heav’ns above
He showers us
With His great love

Sing Hallelujah to the King
Who rules both heaven and earth
His praises now we gladly sing
To tell of His great worth

Your Reward

 

When Jesus walked
On this old ground
He came across people in need
The word says whoever
Came to Him sick
Would find that His touch would heal

Leprosy, blindness
Lame or disabled
All of them walked away free
Deaf ears and dumb mouth
All the diseases
Just by His touch they would leave

If you need a touch
From Jesus today
Simply trust Him as Savior and Lord
He’ll bring in His spirit
And transform your heart
And healing will be your reward

How Big?

Have you ever looked up to the sky in the darkest lonely hours
And seen the brilliant light that travels from those distant stars
Have you wondered what it would be like to go that far
And visit those amazing stars that shine in lonely hours

If we could travel to the moon and back in just one hour
It would take 16 days to travel to this sun of ours
To travel to the nearest star after our sun so far
Would take ten thousand years to travel to the closest star

They say 400 billion stars are in our galaxy
But with our naked eye six thousand’s all we see
With about 100 billion galaxies floating in that sea
we start too realize just how big our God must be

If He could have the mind to create such a wondrous thing
Just thing how marvelous His love to create someone like me
Unique in all my ways now He has made me to be free
To trust in His great love that sent His Son to rescue me

How big is our great God who plans for all the universe
Yet looks down on this simple place of home that we call earth
He takes the time to make us part of His great love and worth
And we can live forever for He’s given us new birth

Turn Your Heart Strings

For so many years I heard about Christ
And all he had done for me
Raised in the church every Sunday
Yet I slipped away late in my teens

For many years I wandered aimless
In denial of all I had learned
Until a good friend turned my heart strings
I accepted the Savior I’d spurned

Maybe today you deny Him
And all He has done by His grace
Accept Him today as your Savior
And one day you’ll see His face

With Every Breath

He gave up all His glory
To come to earth a lowly child
No pomp or royal feast announced His birth
His childhood was quiet
Though His parents knew His fate
They knew just who He was and His great worth

Then when the time was comes
That He should start to show Himself
He submitted to the baptizing of John
The heavens opened wide
A voice spoke loud and clear
God said Behold This is my beloved Son

For three years He did preach
And heal the sick and raise the dead
As He put the wisdom of the wise to shame
The people followed close
The leaders of that day sought ways
They could rid themselves of Him and all His fame

The plot against Him thickened
When He tore the leaders down
They determined It was time for Him to go
They riled up the crowds
They condemned Him in great haste
Urged the crowd to cry out Crucify Him now

He was whipped and beaten
Spit upon, a crown of thorns
Then they nailed His hands and feet to that tree
He cried Father God forgive them
As He bowed and gave His life
Taking all my sin and shame, He set me free

He was buried
Stone secured Him
The hope they had was dead
Then early Sabbath morning
The guards fainted in dread
The stone rolled away
He arose from that old grave
Victory forevermore
For His children, young and old

With all that I have in me
With every breath I take
I will lift my song of praise up to the Lord
His worship fills my heart
And flows out through my lips
Forever He’s the one that I adore

Heroes Galore

 

Some look to superstars
Some to the stars
Some look at history
Some look at wars
Heroes and Champions
Are different to all
Some are quite big
While other stand tall

But my Champion
Is none of those
When I sought victory
Jesus I chose
He won the battle
Of life evermore
By paying sins debt
Now He’s my Lord

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Champion

The Plan

I can assure you
That God has a plan for you
Which will be better than yours
I know for certain
That His way is destined
To wipe away all of your tears

When you give in
And respond to His calling
He’ll guide you each step of the way
And when it gets hard
He’ll send in His mercy
To make your life better each day

Just like a watchmaker He has a plan
It has been designed just for you
He knows He design
He knows when it’s time
To work out His plan in you

When you seem to be broke
And you’re wondering why
Just put them in His loving hands
Don’t worry or fret
He knows what to do
To put you together again

A watchmaker knows how to fix His designs
He knows all the parts and their place
The watch’s design is no puzzle to him
His knows all about every piece

God’s your designer and He knows your life
He knows what the future will bring
Your trials are never a problem for Him
He knows how to lead you through things

Just like a watchmaker He has a plan
It has been designed just for you
He knows He design
He knows when it’s time
To work out His plan in you
