It’s Pretty Amazing

It's pretty amazing what God has done
He loved us so much He gave us His son
It's pretty amazing what God has done for me
It's pretty amazing to realize
He rose from the gave to give us new life
It's pretty amazing what God has done for me
What have I done to deserve this precious grace?
How can I even think His mercy is so free?
All of my life I've hidden from His face
Yet He has always been there calling out to me
So I finally realized that Jesus loved me
And I knelt down at the cross of sin and shame
I asked Him to forgive me and live inside of me
And I promised Him I'd start to praise His name
I heard the Holy Spirit whisper softly
My child you have become a Son of God
Now raise up on your feet and tell your story
That is why I shout and sing His love
It's pretty amazing what God has done
He loved us so much He gave us His son
It's pretty amazing what God has done for me
It's pretty amazing to realize
He rose from the gave to give us new life
It's pretty amazing what God has done for me
Sing highest praise to the Lamb
Shouting hallelujah with our praise
The highest praise to His name
Jesus, Lord forever, Him we raise

Lord, Today
May your thoughts be my thoughts

May your patience be my patience
May your love be my love
May your compassion be my compassion
May your desire be my desire
May your joy be my joy
May your peace be my peace
May your righteousness be my righteousness
May your faithfulness be my faithfulness
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
Hallelujah!

God Has Shown Me

I can't believe the grace that God has shown me
He sees me through the trials and the
 storms 
And when I wander off the path He's chosen
He gently guides me back into His arms

I can't believe the mercy God has shown me
I fall so easily back into sin
And even though I often do this willingly 
He always gives me mercy once again

I can't believe the love that God has shown me
A love so deep it's hard to comprehend 
He gave His Son to die and pay my ransom
When I still cursed Him and abused His name 

I can't believe the joy that fills my sorrow
I can't believe the peace that conquers fear
I can't believe the hope of life eternal
I can't believe faith makes doubt disappear

Even though I can't believe all these things 
Each one by itself is hard to grasp
When I put my trust in Jesus Christ my Savior
All these things are mine because He lives

I Have Been Blessed

I may not have riches.  I may not have fame
I may not have treasures far and wide or travel by plane
I may not have cars that are ready for show
But I have been blessed more than this world can know

CHORUS
I have been blessed.  I have been blessed
By the blood of Jesus Christ my sins were erased
I have been blessed.  I have been blessed
Not by anything I’ve done, but only by grace

I may not be free from trials and tests
But I have His peace, and in that I rest
Sorrows will come and storm clouds will role
But I have a joy and hope to which I hold

CHORUS

I may not have mansions on this world below
But I have a mansion waiting above
I may still have pain and tears may still fall
But all that will fade away when heaven’s my home

CHORUS

Nothing But The Blood

Leave a reply 
Nothing but the blood
Cleanses all our sins
Washes all our guilt away

Nothing but the blood
Makes us pure within
Keeps us in His arms to stay

Nothing but the blood
Can ever make us free
Nothing but the blood
Gives life eternally
Nothing but the blood
Will make me fully His
Nothing but the blood of Christ

His mercy is amazing
His love is so divine
His grace reaches out
Through the halls of time
His peace is so assuring
His joy will never end
But all of this is second
To the blood that He did shed

Nothing but the blood
Frees my soul from sin
Nothing but the blood
Will calm, my soul within
Nothing but His blood
Will take me on to heav’n
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

All It Takes

Healed
By His miraculous hand
Healed
He was wounded for our transgressions
Bruised for our iniquities
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him
And by His stripes we are healed
Could the prophet make it any clearer?
Can God make it any clearer?
Have you experienced His healing?
His forgiveness?
His deliverance?
Do you have His peace?
It is right there, waiting for you -
A simple acknowledgement of His sacrifice
And your unworthiness
Is all it takes.
Won't you ask Him in today?
Allow the Savior to heal your hurt
Remove your iniquities
Grant you His peace?
He is standing at the door knocking
Gently knocking at the door of your heart
Now is the accepted time
Today is the day of salvation!

Every Day Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving
The world sets aside a day
To give thanks
But shouldn't that be everyday?
Thanks for the air I breath
Thanks for the water I drink
Thanks for the sun that shines
Thanks for the stars at night
Thanks for. The clean white snow
Thanks for the bright rainbow
Thanks for a gentle breeze
Thanks for the leafless trees
Thanks for a God who loves
So much that he gave His son
A sacrifice for you and me
So that we could all be free
Make every day Thanksgiving!

Marvelous Things

Leave a reply 
I will lift my voice to the Lord
I will sing His praise to the nations
For He has done marvelous things
Too wonderful for me

He has redeemed me
Paid the price for my sin
Suffered and died for my wayward ways
Bought me with His precious blood
Because I was steeped in sin
The world had a hold on me and He set me free
I no longer owe a debt to God
Because he Son ha paid my ransom

He has restored me
Restored me into fellowship with the Father
Restored me to a right relationship with Him
He has made me new
The old me is dead and gone
The new me is growing day by day
Restoring righteousness and holiness into my life

He has delivered me
Delivered me from th3e devils grip
Delivered me from my own licentious ways
I am no longer bound by sin
The chains are broken
My captivity is over
He has attained my freedom

He has blessed me
Over and over, His blessings have come
My garden has brought forth much fruit
More than ever before
My children are closer than ever
My family surrounds me with love
My possessions have increased, but the do not hold me
His blessing is on my mind and heart day and night
I am blessed with a loving wife

I thank Him for His mercy and grace
They are too wonderful for me to describe
He overlooks my fault and love me
He takes my hand and walks with me
He speaks to me in the still of the night
He hears my every prayer
He is always near
This is His grace.
This is His mercy

I love the Lord
His name is Jesus
He has done marvelous things for me

I Come

Leave a reply 

I come to seek your mercy, Lord
I know it’s there for me
You displayed it mightily
When you died upon that

I come to seek your healing, Lord
I know it’s been fulfilled
You took care of al disease
When your blood you freely spilled

I come to seek deliverance, lord
I know you set me free
The crown upon your head declared
That you’ve become my peace

I come to seek forgiveness, lord
I know you made a way
When you spoke those words upon the cross
They still are true today

I come to seek your grace, Oh Lord
I know you give it all 
The blessings you pour out on me
Are more than I recall

I come to give you praise, Oh Lord
For all you’ve done for me
You died and rose again to give me
Life Eternally

The Good Stuff

Leave a reply 
There’s a country song I hear at work every day
It has a nice chorus that is easy to say
But the truth that it tells is certain enough
“Dad makes good whiskey but God makes the good stuff”

The good stuff that God makes is stark in contrast
To the whiskey that might be drunk from a flask
It got me to thinking about all the things
That the blessing of God to me each day brings

Whiskey inebriates ‘til we’ve lost control
God gives His Spirit to guide us all home
Whiskey tastes bitter and softens the mind
God’s word is sweet to the soul all the time

Whiskey gives mornings when sickness will last
God give the sunrise whose beauty is vast
Whiskey makes evenings bewildered and blind
God makes sunsets that are wonderfully fine

Whiskey can make our decisions quite wrong
God gives us wisdom to help us along 
Whiskey can cost us our lives after time
God gives new life that’s eternally mine

Whiskey will lead us down dangerous roads
God guides us gently and carries our load
Whiskey can bring us to a crash of the mind
God keeps us safe in His arms all the time

You see my dear friends that this song is true
But the truth in its words I think hide from you
All of this good stuff that God has in store
Is only for you if you’ll give Him more

More of your heart to Him every day
More of your mind and more of your ways
More of your strength needs to come from Him
More of your soul must be cleansed within

Today if that whiskey is lord of your life
Why not give that up for the Lord Jesus Christ
He will bless you beyond your wildest dreams
Repent today and in Jesus believe
