God Covered It

Leave a reply
God formed man from dust
Breathed life into him
And when he chose to disobey
God covered it
God asked Abram to obey
By giving his own Son
When God saw he’d follow through
God covered it
David had Uriah killed
Just to take His wife
When Nathan pointed out his sin
God covered it
Man has sinned throughout time
He prefers to disobey
But when his cry goes out to God
God covers it
Finally God saw that man
Would never get it right
So He set His plan in motion
A covering for all time
Because God So loved to world
He sent His only son
To die upon across
To cover all my wrong
So now when I do wrong
And disobey His law
I look up to that cross
And God covers it all

A word to my friends

I know that I have been kind of quiet lately. As some of you know I am undergoing cancer treatments. I had a stem cell transplant on the 13th in the last 4 days have been a little difficult.

However I am glad to say thank God has been very merciful to me and I am on the mend. They’re telling me right now that I should be going home either Tuesday or Wednesday next week. I praise God for his healing power and his great love for me.

I want to thank those of you I have been praying for me. There is nothing more powerful and be assured that your prayers have been answered. I look forward to rejoining the blogging community soon.  It’s a place I have found great comfort in during this time

I Stand Amazed

Leave a reply

There are many thing in earth

That take my breath away

Every day I can observe

The marvels  that come my way

 

From the brilliant sun at dawn

To the colors of sun set

The birds melodious song

And the flowers powerful scent

 

Then I think about my body

And the way it’s carefully made

There is no other copy

Unique in all it’s ways

 

All these things bring wonder

To my big imagination

I marvel as I ponder

The vastness of creation

 

It’s awesome, Oh, so awesome

That God would care so much

To give us this great earth

So He could stay in touch

 

But even more than awesome

Is the love He has for me

That He would give His son

To take my sin from me

 

So now I stand amazed

At all that He has done

But I truly am in awe

Of His abiding love

My Lord Divine

Leave a reply
It’s a blessed day
I will sing His praise
Loud hosannas raise
To His Holy name
He has blessed my life
Saved me for all time
He’s my Lord divine
For the rest of time
No matter what the day brings
Or what trials come my way
He’s always there beside me
To guide me with His grace
If I should fall and stumble
He’s there to pick me up
If my faith should go weary
He’ll come and fill my cup
His mercy is amazing
He spares me all the time
His love is neverending
I can’t believe it’s mine
It’s a blessed day
I will sing His praise
Loud hosannas raise
To His Holy name
He has blessed my life
Saved me for all time
He’s my Lord divine
For the rest of time

Awesome Grace

Leave a reply

I can’t imagine

What God will do today

Every day is a new miracle

When I trust His way

 

Nobody ever knows

The blessings that will come

When I yield to His spirit

And trust in His love

 

Today might bring trials

That challenge my faith

Designed so I’ll run

To His awesome grace

 

Sickness may come

In the midst of the night

Will I trust on His healing?

To end my plight?

 

Friends might desert me

And ruin my name

It’s then I need Jesus

To weather the pain

 

Days are not always

Blessings and joy

There are times in the valley

When we need to grow

 

So God allows these things

To strengthen our faith

If we’ll only just trust

In His awesome grace

I Need Jesus

I need Jesus
More today than yesterday
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today
I need Jesus
When life takes a turn
And I can’t discern
The path to return
I need Jesus
When sorrow arrives
And I want to hide
From sadness in life
I need Jesus
When peace can’t be found
And troubles abound
And chaos is loud
I need Jesus
When joy goes away
And I have dismal days
When every smile fades
I need Jesus
And every time I call on Him
He’s swiftly by my side
Bringing His sweet mercy and His grace
I know I can depend on Him
To constantly abide
He always gets me back to the right place
My need for Him is more than life
It’s more than breath or blood
My need for Him is deep inside my heart
So give me Jesus every time
The storms of life get rough
And every time He’ll give me a fresh start
I need Jesus
More to today than yesterday
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today
I need Jesus

Take Aim

2 Replies

I cannot imagine life without God

I cannot imagine not knowing His touch

I cannot imagine not knowing His love

I cannot imagine it at all

 

Truth is, I used to be there

Living without God

Living in an aimless life of sin

I didn’t have much hope

In what the future held

And I surely had no lasting peace within

 

But then I met the Savior

Jesus is His name

He gave His life to take away my sin

But more than that He promised

That He’d prepared a plan

So I would not go aimlessly again

 

If your destination

Is not so clear to you

And aimless is your life’s detour

Then why not come to Jesus

And see His plan for you

Take aim at being all He made you for

My Heavenly Father

Leave a reply

I once had a Father on earth

Who I barely knew at all

He left us when I was young

And He hardly ever called

 

We would get a gift at Christmas

And a visit here and there

But through time I grew bitter

And didn’t even care.

 

The anger inside grew mighty

As I reached my teenage years

I got into things angered my mom

And had her often in tears

 

I could not find my way through life

I struggled just to survive

The time had to come to turn around

Or I might take my life

 

Then a friend from a long time ago

Came and told me a story I knew

But He told it in such a different way

I listened and heard the truth

 

I have a heavenly Father

Who loves me very much

A heavenly Father up above

Who came my heart to touch

 

He gave His own son

To die in my place

And covered my sin

With amazing grace

 

His mercy is greater

Than all my shame

He’ll live in my heart

And call me by name

 

And one day he’ll come

And take me home

To a life everlasting

Around His throne

 

I love my heavenly Father

He takes care of all my needs

My heavenly Father

He’ll always be there for me

 

Love Inescapable

Leave a reply
Hard times hit us all
Even happy people fell
Even we have days that cause us harm
But when we get real low
We know just where to go
Back to our Father’s loving arms
He holds His arms out wide
He’s ever at my side
He’s there to pick me up when I fall down
And if I bruise my soul
He heals me ’til I’m whole
And sets my feet on solid ground
He loves me
More than anything
He loves me
So amazing
He loves me
Even when my love grows cold
He loves me
Through my troubled days
He loves me
When I’ve lost my way
He loves me
I cannot escape His love
His grace will cover me
Whenever I’m in need
His blessings come in every size and shape
His mercy overflows
My selfish, prideful soul
And helps those things to quietly escape
His sweet perfection slides
Into this heart of mine
Without me even knowing it’s His hand
And then one day I see
His humility in me
And I realize that this is what He planned
He loves me
He fills me with joy
He loves me
His peace is employed
He loves me
More than I can ever know
He loves me
I will sing His prsise
He loves me
I’ll worship His sweet name
He loves me
I cannot escape His love

 

His Perfection

Leave a reply

I used to try and do it all

Not wondering if wrong or right

But it wasn’t long before I’d fall

And get lost in the fight

 

I wanted to be perfect

To impress all of my friends

But I soon found the difference

To gain any respect

 

Because I can never be perfect

In this human flesh I have

The only chance at that aspect

Is to call on Jesus name

 

Because when He comes to live in me

His Spirit makes me whole

And His perfection dwells in me

Forever in my soul
