I sit and wonder why, Lord
Do people not choose thee
When they hear you’ve paid the price
From sin to set them free

Down here they feel so happy
And they think it’s the best
But if they just choose you today.
They would be richly blessed

In this life they party
Thinking all of life’s a game
If you would fill them with your joy
They’d never be the same

And when the party’s over
And the happiness is gone
They sit their all alone and wonder
When some peace will come

But I can tell them truly
That the peace that Jesus gives
Will permeate  their soul each day
As long as they shall live

You ask me how I know these things
So I’ll tell you here and now
‘Twas not that long ago my friend
That I refused to bow

I loved the party life at night
But hated waking up
My mind was filled with torment
My thoughts were so corrupt

It took at least 10 times
For me to head His call
But when I did, He kept His word
And gave to me His all

He blesses me each day
With His presence,  oh so sweet
He fills my heart with joy
Happiness just can’t compete

His peace is so remarkable
It soothes me every day
And His love is unforgettable
He walks along my way

But most of all His mercy
Is always reaching me
And His grace is so amazing
As it works to keep me free

You see it really is no contest
What the best life is
So why not turn your life around
And make your heart be His.

The Hope of Heaven

Leave a reply

It may seem far away to you

So your not in any hurry

Your lie is going on just fine

So you don’t need to worry

 

But Jesus said the hour is near

And no one knows the day

That He will come with trumpet sound

To take His own away

 

So if you don’t know Him as your Lord

It’s urgent that you ask Him

To come into your heart today

If you ask, He’ll come in

 

And you will have that peace of  mind

That you are not alone

He’ll give you hope for all of time

And heaven will be your home

Mercy Falls

Leave a reply

Spring time showers bringing life

Raindrops splashing through the night

Storm clouds billow up so tall

Like the raindrops, mercy falls

 

Our great God is oh so wise

Mercy keeps us all alive

Through his endless, boundless love

He desires us all above

 

Winter cold is drawing near

North wind chill that you can hear

Snow is swirling in the air

Like the snowflake, mercy falls

 

Our great God the seasons made

This His promise does remain

Mercy is His promise too

It will come and rescue you

 

Mercy falls, oh praise His name

Mercy falls, our lives are changed

His great love reaches to all

Oh what joy when Mercy falls

Where is Your Trust?

Leave a reply

I used to be a wild kid

Just wandering through life

I placed my trust in many things

But all of them just brought strife

 

Then I put my trust in Jesus

And He came into my heart

Now I have a calm assurance

That He never will depart

 

From now on I’ll trust Him always

My own wisdom put aside

I will give Him praise for everything

And He will daily be my guide

How Excellent Are Your Ways

2 Replies

Oh God, how excellent are your ways

You have been God since before the foundation of the world

You spoke and the earth was formed

The waters and the earth gathered together at your word

At the sound of your voice the earth brought forth trees and greenery

The sun and the moon appeared at your command, and you placed the stars in space

Then you created all the animals, on the ground, in the sea, and the birds and insects

Then you made man out of the dust of the ground

You gave him dominion over all that you have made

And you said it was all good

And you rested

Oh God, my God, how excellent are your ways

Still today you watch over your creation

You bring the rain in due season

The thunder blasts and the lightning crashes at your command

The sky clears and the rainbow appears to remind us of your promise

You bring the crops to maturity and the farmers bring in the harvest

The harvest you have provided

You turn the trees to brilliant colors in the cool fall air

We marvel at the beauty of your creation

Oh God, my God how excellent are your ways in all the earth

You still love man despite the way he has failed you

You still see him as the crowning jewel of your creation

You cry out to him to turn back to your word

Because you know what is best for your creation

Help us Lord, to turn to you

Help us to follow your word

Help us to pray for our nation

You have been so good to us while we have turned our backs on you

Forgive our nation, Lord, for our transgressions

Hear our plea for healing and restoration

Renew us in your word, and clothe us with your Holy Spirit

Let your love arise in our hearts as we worship you

Let the church rise and carry out your word

That we should humble ourselves,

And pray,

And seek your face,

And turn from our wicked ways

Because then, and only then

Will you hear from heaven

And forgive our sins

And heal our Land.

Oh God, my God, How excellent are your ways in all the earth.

Keeping His Word

1 Reply

I remember when my kids were young

I’d make promises so fast

And the my work would swallow me

And the promise would not last

 

They’d get all disappointed

And they remembered every line

So when it came to teenage years

It was hard to get their time

 

God made His promises to us

And wrote them in His book

He always keeps those promises

We just have to take a look

 

So open up your bible now

And see what He has said

There’s a promise there for you today

And It will come true today.

Great, Great Love

One day every knee will bow

In heaven and in earth

And every tongue will confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord

 

It matters not what they believed

While living on this earth

They must acknowledge He is Lord

For all the world to see

 

And those who served Him here below

Will then a mansion gain

But those who chose another road

A fire awaits them

 

As for me I’ll sing His praise

As long as I have breath

For He’s the one who gave His life

So I’d be free from sin

 

Oh, the great, great love of God

Who sent His only Son

To die and take my sin away

And rose to give me life

 

Oh the great. Great love of God

Who looks down from above

And helps me every day I live

To grow in grace and truth

 

I’ll lift my praise Hosanna

Glory to the King

Highest Hallelujahs

Praise His mighty name

 

Praise and adoration

To Jesus Christ my Lord

Worthy of my highest praise

Now and evermore.

You travel through life a day at a time

Trying to find your way

It seems you are not getting anywhere fast

As you tackle life every day

Then you meet Jesus, and you ask Him to com

Into your heart to stay

And now you feel there’s a purpose to life

So you start to ask as you pray.

 

Lord, why have I had so many hurts

And difficult times in my life

Why have I faced such a series of tests

That have brought me a good deal of strife

And God answers back that now you’re prepared

To help others with things in their life

Because your an original, one of a kind

But what you have learned helps mankind

 

So get out and share your experiences

And see who wil heed your call

What you  have gone through will help many come

And answer the Masters call

The Resting Place

3 Replies

I need to find a resting place

Where troubles will all cease

It seems the daily battles rage

And I can’t find His peace

 

I long to find a resting place

Where healing will be mine

It seems this worn out body

Gets sorer all the time

 

I hope to find a resting place

Where doubt is cast aside

Where faith is all that rules

My heart and soul and mind

 

I’m searching for a resting place

Where I can dwell in peace

I need a calm, assuring voice

To end my worried speech

 

And when the day is over

And my rhyme is almost done

A small voice whispers in my ear

And now I can rejoice

 

Jesus is the resting place

That I am longing for

In His arms your comfort waits

Come and make Him yours

He’ll heal you and deliver you

And peace will flood your soul

And soon you’ll find a quiet rest

That soothes and makes you whole

 

Come into the resting place

Where peace is alt for you

Jesus is the resting place

He’s there awaiting you.

My Refuge That Lasts

1 Reply

I’m tired of the doubt that’s within me

That is welling up deep down inside

I want to have faith like a mustard seed

So I’ll know that this pain will subside

 

I’m tired of feeling this weakness

That my treatments have brought about

I want to have strength like an eagle

So I can His praises shout

 

I’m tired of being all cooped up

Inside my nice little home

I want to get out and be strong again

So once again I can roam

 

But I trust the Lord in all things

And I know He will bring me through

Right now the low point of my life

But soon He will miracles do

 

Until that day I’m delivered

From the weakness I currently have

I still will not cease to praise Him

For He is my refuge that lasts

 

So I will sing Hallelujah

Praise God from the depths of my heart

He is my Lord forever

From Him I will never depart

 

Oh what a wonderful Savior

He’s always right here with me

Oh what an awesome creator

He supplies all of my needs

 

I’ll always trust in His mercy

I’ll always lean on His grace

Until that wonderful, glorious day

That look upon His face.
