A.S.K.

When I’ve lost my direction
In this crazy old world
I’m reluctant to ask for some help
I think it’s a reflection
That I’m not self-assured
And it makes me feel very inept

But I can’t have this attitude
In my walk with the Lord
When I find I am losing my way
I will have more gratitude
If i look to His word
And find how He tells me to pray

He says first I must ask Him
When I’ve come to stray
Whether knowledge or wisdom I need
And He says that He’ll give
And show me the way
To find the next step in my plea

Next is to seek out
His will for my life
In the situation I’ve fallen in
Then I can figure out
The escape from my strife
And find the path destined to win

Last I must knock
At the door I come to
It shall open to me on its own
The door is unlocked
And it opens to view
The answer that He will make known

Now all that sounds simple
And easy to do
But there’s one trick you need to remember
The asking and seeking
And knocking you do
Must be done ’til you’re led to the answer

He always leads to the answer

He always answers your plea
It’s the waiting and watching that’s hard to do
So ask ’til your heart is set free
And seek ’til you see
And knock “til you reach the door.

His Mercy

His mercy is powerful

Reaching down to me

Cleansing all my sin

And setting me free

 

His mercy is majestic

Soaring ‘bove the clouds

Placing all the stars

So they speak aloud

 

His mercy is much higher

Than anything I know

It fills up all of heaven

And all of earth below

 

His mercy is much richer

Than our diamonds or gold

It never runs out

And it never grows old

 

His mercy is purer

Than mountain streams that flow

It never fails to comfort

And His peace it will bestow

 

His mercy is enough today

To meet all of my needs

So I will give my praise to Him

Because He first loved me

How Do I Love You, Lord

How do I love you, Lord?

Let me try and count the ways

There are so many things I thank you for

And I give you all my praise

 

I love you as the creator

You gave us all that we see

You provided a world where we can live

Such a marvelous place to be

 

I love you as my provider

I have no need that you can meet

You watch out for me and care for me

Every day your grace is so sweet

 

I love you for you are my healer

When I’m hurt I can trust in you

I never should doubt or fear the result

For I know you will bring me through

 

I love you for all of the blessings

That flow out to me so many ways

I cannot begin to count all the times

You have touched me day to day

 

I love you for you are my Savior

You shed your blood to set me free

And you rose again to give eternal life

I’m in awe of your great mercy

 

There are so many ways I love you

For all the things that you’ve done

My praise will continue for all of my days

Because my victory you’ve won

 

But above all these things I love you

Just because of who you are

You are Lord of all Lords forever

I am constantly in awe

 

And I will lift my praises

No matter what life brings

Because you are seated in heaven

And are crowned King of all Kings

As I Am

Who knows where the waves take form and start out?

Who knows where they travel, or when they will stop?

Who knows how high or how far they will go?

Only the God I serve

 

Who knows where the clouds have taken their shape?

Of how big they’ll get, or when dissipate?

Who guilds them at morn and paints them at night?

Only the God I serve

 

Our God is amazing, He knows everything

From the depths of all nature to what makes birds sing

His wisdom is more than imaginable

And He loves me just as I am.

 

Who placed the stars and calls them by name?

Who has arranged them to show us His grace?

Who knows how for their light will stay bright?

Only the God I serve

 

Our God is incredible.  There’s no one like Him

He sits in the on His throne and controls everything

Yet He still takes the time to hear when I pray

And He loves me just as I am.

 

So I will lift up His praise to the sky

I’ll shout from the rooftops as others pass by

My God is the one who can transform your lives

And He loves you just as you are.

Go To God

If you had a Rolex watch

And it was not working properly

You would take it to an expert Rolex watchmaker

 

If you had an expensive camera

And the pictures were not coming out clear

You would take it to an expert in cameras

 

Any piece of equipment we have

If it is broken

And we would want it repaired

We would take it to

An expert

 

So why do we seek out all kinds of help

When we are broken

Or run down

Or needing help

Instead of going  to the expert

The God who formed us in our mother’s womb

The God who created all things by His word

The God who loves us more than we can imagine

 

Next time your life is just not working

Go to the expert

Go to God

His Amazing Love

Higher than the mountains

Wider than the oceans

Deeper than the canyons

That’s His love for me

 

Purer than spring water

Makes us sons and daughters

Fills our heart with wonder

That’s His love for me

 

What amazing love He has for me

When He gave His life on Calvary

He left His royal throne

To come and die alone

All so I could be set free

 

Always sends His blessings

Joy that’s never ending

Fills me so my heart sings

That’s His love for me

 

Peace that calms my heart’s cry

Guides me safely through trials

His Spirit teaches me life

That’s His love for me

 

What amazing love He has for me

He rose from death and lives again

And one day He’ll return

To bring me home with Him

To a mansion He’s prepared just for me

 

What amazing love He has for me

I can only lift my voice and sing

Jesus is His name

I’ll give all my praise

Forever He will be my Lord and King

No Mistake

When God called me I wondered

If there was some mistake

I was just a sinner

Far away from grace

But then I met my Savior

He washed away my sin

And now I serve the Lord of Lords

This changes everything

 

He fills me with His Spirit

His peace and joy abound

His love is overwhelming

My soul found solid ground

I’ve learned that He knows all

And there are no mistakes

So If He calls to you today

Just trust His love and grace

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Mistake

My Past Has Passed

Your love is more than I can fathom
Your hope is way beyond compare
I can’t imagine why you chose to save me
When all I did was mock your name

When I fall into sin you send mercy 
When trials come around you lend grace
I see your hand surround me when I wander
And gently lead me back to your embrace

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I have been blessed by the joy that you give

It overwhelms me each day that I live

Your peace is a river that flows slow and free

I am so thankful that you have blessed me

 

When sickness of pain should enter my life

I know that you’ll heal me in your chosen time

And if I should lose someone real close to me

I know that your spirit will comfort my grief

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I can’t praise you enough for what you have done

Or for what you are going to do

So I yield control to your marvelous plan

And I lift my worship to you

What Love

Oh, the great, great love of Jesus

Sent to us from high above

Left His royal throne in heaven

Just to show us His great love

 

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus

Child in a manger lay

Shepherds came and bowed before Him

Nestled in the stables’ hay

 

What love, what unspeakable love

Jesus has for me

What love, what amazing love

That He would die for me

 

Oh, amazing love of Jesus

Walked this earth for three short years

Healing, teaching touching lives

All to show us how God cares

 

Oh, the selfless love of Jesus

Gave His body up for me

Beaten, bruised and crucified

Took my sin and set me free

 

What love, what unspeakable love

Jesus has for me

What love, what amazing love

That He would die for me

 

Oh, eternal love of Jesus

Buried in a borrowed tomb

Rose again and now He’s living

Giving me a life with Him

 

His love is eternal

His love is amazing

His love is compassionate

Meets my every need

His love is for everyone

He waits for you to ask Him

Lord please come into my heart

Make me new today

 

What love, what unspeakable love

Jesus has for me

What love, what amazing love

That He would die for me

Forever and Amen

I remember when I found the love of Jesus

He came and washed my sins away

And ever since that day

I have found a way

To give Him all the praise that I can give

 

His mercy covers me when I am falling

His grace is so amazing and so free

I took Him as my Lord

It’s Him who I adore

So let’s all lift our praise in one accord

 

Worthy is the Lord, worthy is the Lord

Worthy is the Lord our God

Faithful to the end

He’s our blessed friend

Worthy is the Lord our God

 

Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord

Holy is the Lord our God

His majesty supreme

So wonderful to me­­

Holy is the Lord our God

 

Each day I lift my praise to heaven

I just can’t worship Him enough

I’ll praise all may days

With all my words of praise

I’ll shout it from the mountaintop

 

Worthy is the Lord, worthy is the Lord

Worthy is the Lord our God

Faithful to the end

He’s our blessed friend

Worthy is the Lord our God

 

Jesus is the Lord, Jesus is the Lord

Jesus is He Lord our God

He’s our eternal friend

Forever and amen

Jesus is the Lord our God
