Crossing the Great Divide

There’s a great divide between God and man

The gulf is large and deep

It’s been in place since Adam ‘s day

It’s way the angels keep

 

When Jesus died upon that cross

He paid the price for sin

And He became the crossing bridge

For all of us to win

 

The only way to God you see

Is Jesus Christ today

So come and take Him as your Lord

And He’ll show you the way

 

 

 

 

 

 

In rsponse to the daily prompt Bridge

Perfect Time

Groping in the darkness
Middle of the night
Squinty eyes are opening
Trying to find some light
Moonbeam through the window
Ray is oh so bright
What a perfect time to praise the Lord

Found a piece of paper
Writing words to sing
Melody comes slowly
Sound of flowing spring
Hymn now comes together
This my offering
What a perfect time to praise the Lord

Wonderful Redeemer
Jesus is my Lord
Marvelous Creator
Jesus I adore
Mighty King and Savior
Jesus Lamb of God
I lift up my voice to you in praise

Glorious Deliverer
Jesus King of Kings
Great and Wondrous Counselor
Jesus Lord of Lords
Merciful Transformation
Jesus friend of mine
My lips worship Him eternally

Praises all to Jesus
Praises to His name
Worship Him forever
He will never change
Lift up hands to heaven
Surrender up in prsise
Highest adoration to the King

Worthy of my praise forever
Worthy of my praise forever
Jesus Lord of Lords
Worthy of my praise forever
Worthy of my praise forever
Jesus King of Kings
Worthy of my praise forever
Worthy of my praise forever
Jesus Lamb of God
Every day
I’ll lift His name
In praise

End the Chaos

When life gets chaotic

And you can’t find your way

I have a solution

To rearrange your day

 

Just start out with Jesus

Give His word some time

Sing praise to His name

It will trasnform your life

 

Because time spent with  Jesus

To start out the day

Will stiffle the chaos

Amd bring peace always.

 

 

 

In respone to the daily prompt Rearrange

Merciful Savior

When I begin to think about

What Jesus did for me

I always must remember

The day He set me free

 

My sins were overwhelming

I couldn’t find my way

I tried so many other things

That just led me astray

 

But Jesus said He’d rescue me

From the depths of sin

I needed to escape my past

And find some peace within

 

Oh, what a merciful Savior

Oh, what grace divine

Jesus is my answer

Jesus now is mine

 

So I sat down and prayed a prayer

And asked Him in my heart

There was no doubt He touched me

As I felt Him from the start

 

From that day on He stayed with me

I grew in His embrace

And now I trust Him every day

To cover me with grace

 

My heart shouts out His praises

As I lift my voice in song

He’s all I ever needed

With Him I can’t go wrong

 

Oh, what a merciful Savior

Oh, what grace divine

Jesus is my answer

Jesus now is mine

The Fog Lifted

I used to live life in a fog

My mind was always cloudy

And smoke swirled ’round my head all day

My life was kind of rowdy.

 

But then I met my Savior

Jesus is His name

The fog lifted

Life was changed

i’ll never be the same

 

Now I’m free from sin and shame

I have reason to live

I’m free at last

From troublled past

My praise to Him I give

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Smoke

What A Mighty Name

I have a feeling God is near

I hear Him whisper in my ear

His Spirit calls me, oh so clear

To lift my voice in praise

 

And then I hear the angels shout

They worship as they fly about

Their words of praise, they echo loud

They lift His holy name

 

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

Hallelujah, praise His name

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

He is Lord of all

 

The chorus rings throughout the sky

I sing with angels passing by

We sing unto the Lord most High

He’s worthy of our praise

 

Jesus, King and Lord of life

Jesus, Savior for all time

Jesus, now forever mine

How I love that name

 

Jesus, blessed redeemer reigns

Jesus, every day the same

Jesus, what a mighty name

Worthy of my praise

 

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

Hallelujah, praise His name

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

He is Lord of all

 

Now I’m Weclome

There was a time that I was not welcome

Banned is a better word

 

I had not accepted criteria

For eternity with the Lord

But then I asked His forgiveness

For all of of the  sins of my past

And He washed me whiter than whitest snw

And said enter into my rest

Now I’m not banned any longer

I’m welcome for all of time

I sure hope that you know the Savior

So you can share in my rhyme

 

In response to the daily prompt Banned

Not Defeated

Solitary

All alone

That will be defeated with my Lord

He is always here inside my heart

 

Downcast

Hope is lost

That will be defeated with my Lord

He encourages right from the start

 

When I gave my heart to Jesus

All my doubts and fears He took

He threw them all away

And He told me where to look

He said you’ll find your answers

In the pages of my book

 

Worried

Faith is weak

That will be defeated with My Lord

He restores my faith when mine is gone

 

Falling

Strength is gone

That will be defeated with my Lord

He gives me the strength to battle on

 

I know this world will try me

And will test the faith I claim

But every time I start to fade

I call upon His name

He lifts me up and dusts me off

And then I sing His praise

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Victory is coming from my Lord

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

He gives me the power through His word

I will not be defeated

I will claim

His mighty name

Hallelujah

He’s Calling Out

One day every knee will bow

And every tongue confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord of all

In heaven and in earth

 

One day everyone will gather

‘Round the throne of God

Some will live eternally

Some will be cast out

 

He’s calling out today

For all to find His way

So why not bow and pray

To Jesus Christ today

 

This day you can make the choice

That one day will decide

Whether you will live eternally

Or be the one cast out

 

This day make the choice for Jesus

He’s the only way

Take Him as your Lord and Savior

Call on Him today

 

He will take your sins away

Wash them white as snow

He will give you peace and joy

That you have never known

 

He will grant deliverance

From all that holds you down

He will replace all your fear

With faith that you can grow

 

He will give you hope that lasts

For all eternity

His love will encompass you

And let’s you know you’re his

 

He’s calling out today

For all to find His way

So why not bow and pray

To Jesus Christ today

One Word

If I could say one word to Jesus

What word would it be

What word would summarize

All my Savior means to me

How can a single word take in

His royal majesty

There must be such a word

That I could speak

 

Amazing.

So Amazing

So Amazing is His love for me

Truly Amazing

Simply Amazing

How Amazing that Jesus would love me

 

From on His throne in heaven

He looked down to see my plight

And came to earth to die

So that I could have new life

It’s hard to comprehend such love

For such a worm as I

Amazing

 

If He would grant me one word

Perhaps He’d grant me two

The next word would be just as hard

To think about and choose

My thoughts would wander through a list

Of words that call-in praise

I’d have to find a word

That would live His holy name

 

Magnificent

So Magnificent

So Magnificent is my Savior’s love for me

Magnificent

Surely Magnificent

Magnificent that He would care enough

 

He tells me every day

How much He loves me so

He fills me with His peace

And calms my weary soul

The joy that He bestows on me

It lightens up my load

And His Spirit leads the way

Everywhere I go

Magnificent
