Beautiful Savior

You are to me

Gave up your life

To set me free

I’ll be with you

For eternity

All because of your love

 

Wonderful counselor

You’re always there

To hear every heartache

And every prayer

Giving me counsel

Helping me hear

Wisdom that comes from above

 

Gracious redeemer

You give me hope

When I was lost

You made heaven my home

Took all my past

And washed it like snow

You have a plan for my life

 

Miraculous Healer

Of all my disease

Your blood was shed

To bring me your peace

Whether my body

Or mind is not eased

Your touch will calm ever fear

 

Marvelous friend

You’ll always be

Walking along

As you care for my needs

Often you carry me

When I am weak

You are my hero and Lord

 

Jesus, Oh Jesus

You’re my everything

Lord of all Lords

King of all Kings

From now and forever

Your praise I will sing

Since you came into my heart

Fiery conclusion

4 Replies

One day the devil came calling to me

He said I have the pleasure for which you seek

I followed Him gladly, but the joke was on me

His pleasure was all an illusion

 

I soon was a mess, my life upside down

Then Jesus came calling, and I turned around

He planted my feet on solid ground

And took away my delusion

 

Now I follow Him daily and He walks with me

I’ve learned that my future’s secure as can be

And the  joke that the devil can set us free

Ends up in a fiery conclusion

True Luxury

3 Replies

I though sin a luxury

I wallowed in it’s fantasy

‘Til I was lost and I could see

It stripped me of my life

 

Then I asked Jesus in my heart

He gave me a brand new start

Now I know I’ll ne’er depart

From His abiding love

 

For truly treasure is with Him

And luxury dwells deep within

My soul is satisfied with Him

Always on my side

Child of the King

Leave a reply

Only through Christ the blessings flow

Only through Christ will I ever know

The promise from Heaven He bestows

To all who call on His name

 

He bought me at such a great price

By becoming my precious sacrifice

Paying the debt of sin in my life

So that now I am redeemed

 

His blood wiped away all my sin

Now God will never bring it up again

It’s just as if I’d never sinned

Justified by His blood

 

No longer will sickness rule in my life

Because I am healed by the horrible stripes

Now I claim victory when evils rise

Delivered from pain and disease

 

My mind is now free from doubt and fear

The thorns that he wore brought a covering here

Now I can now he will always be near

Peace and Joy flood my life today

 

He opened the way to heaven for me

He calls me His son, and He says I am free

He sets me apart because I believed

Sanctified through the cross

 

He’s there for me in good times or bad

Giving me guidance that I never had

His Holy Spirit shows me His plan

To prosper my life every day

 

From now on I’ll praise Him with all of my heart

I’ll sing out my worship, I’ll never depart

His precious love has set me apart

I am a child of the King

Almighty Jesus

I Was

2 Replies

I was smart

Even on the honor role every year

Near the top of my class

But not smart in life

 

I had means

Money was not a big issue for me

I bought what I wanted

Drugs and booze

My means were wasted

 

I was stuck

In a world I disdained

Too stubborn to leave

Too tied up with my friends

I was stuck

 

I escaped

Threw off my stubbornness

Repented of my sin

Asked Jesus in my heart

And life began again

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Stubborn

Be Quiet

Leave a reply

I listened

Hoping to hear His voice

Quietly waiting for His direction

 

I heard the voices of this world

Roaring like a mighty wind

But God was not speaking through them

 

I heard the sound of battles in foreign lands

Shaking the earth and all its people

But God was not speaking through them

 

I heard loud preachers and evangelists

With fire in their voices they preached the word

But God’s direction for me was not in their words

 

So I settled down to sleep

Quiet and peaceful

And then I heard His voice

Still and small, giving me direction

 

I Kings 19:11-12.  And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice

Forever Yours

I bow to you Lord Jesus

You are my sovereign King

You gave your life to set me free

I owe you everything

I offer up my worship

I offer up my praise

I’ll follow you with all my heart

The rest of my days

 

You gave to me your mercy

And wiped away my past

Gone were all the wrongs I’d done

Your love was mine at last

Your joy replaced my sadness

Your peace replaced my fears

I can’t repay the debt I owe

Forever I am yours

 

You offered me your grace

So amazing and so free

Once I asked you for forgiveness

You did so willingly

You gave to me a new life

Now heaven is my hope

I’m so in awe of what you’ve done

My heart is now your home

 

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus

Came to earth to die alone

He our Savior gave His own life

Now He claims us as His own

Full of blessings freely given

Has a plan to prosper me

How can I refuse to praise Him

When His child I’ll always be

 

Praise the mighty name of Jesus

All the earth will bow to Him

Lift His name in solemn worship

Give your life and offering

Praise the wondrous name of Jesus

Lift Him high in joyous song

He is worthy of our worship

Let’s rejoice all the day long
