Tell Them

1 Reply

Today the Lord was calling in a voice so sweet and low

He said “Son, there’s something special that everyone should know.

It’s really not a secret.  It’s written in my book.

But there are way too many who never take a look.”

 

I asked the Lord how I could help to get to everyone

This world is so enormous.  I’d never get it done

He said “My child it’s simple, just start with that one there

And one by one you will surely make this world aware.

 

So I said “I’ll do it Lord, I’ll take your message out

I’ll speak it in the marketplace.  I’ll travel all about.

Just let me know the words that I should share today”

And then I heard His gentle voice say

 

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love

Tell them I love them, and I want them here above

I sent my Son to take their place

They’re covered by my endless grace

Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

 

I said “My Lord, I know it’s true that you have love for me

This world is very skeptical because of what they see

The violence and suff’ring seem to get worse every day

There’s many who blame you for this – then what should I say.”

 

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love

Tell them I love them, and I want them here above

I sent my Son to take their place

They’re covered by my endless grace

Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

 

And then He whispered in my ear that many just don’t know

Because we’ve turned our churches into places for a show

The truth that they must make the choice of heaven or of hell

Is something that few preachers are still willing to tell

 

He said “I need the laborers to get out in the field

The harvest is awaiting, and they need someone real

To tell them of this love I have for every single one

I’ve done all that I can do – I sent my only Son”

 

Okay, I got the message Lord, the gospel is enough

I’ll go out into all the world and tell them of your love

That Jesus died to take our sins and wash them all away

That message is more powerful than any words I say

 

I’ll tell them that you love them with an everlasting love

I’ll tell them that you love them, and you want them up above

You sent your Son to take their place

They’re covered by your endless grace

I’ll tell them that you love them, and that should be enough”

Age Does Not Matter

I used to think when I as young that fifty was real old

And now that I am old I think that fifty is quite young

And in that spam of time that’s gone between these years of mine

I’ve come to realize one simple truth

 

It matters not to God if you are young or if you’re old

In His blessed word we see His handiwork unfold

On people of all ages, from seven  to one hundred

A willing heart is all He needs to have

 

So open up your heart today and let the Savior in

Let God have His way with you and a journey will begin

He will take you places that you’ve never been before

Because age does not matter with God

Magnificent Mercy

I vowed to you Lord that I would obey
And promised to do everything you say
As I go through this life day after day 
But then I slipped and fell

You came to me and lifted me up
You dusted me off and offered your cup
You said start again and never give up
Your forgiven all over again

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that’s more than enough

I try day by day to be worthy
But I succumb to my frailties 
Gossip or anger or what my eyes see 
Drop me from pure to my knees

But you never speak condemnation 
You offer me your consolation 
And show me your endless compassion
As you take my hand once again

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that’s more than enough

You always forgive when I stumble
You always forgive my mistakes
You’re always right there
To show me you care 
And you’ll do whatever it takes

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that’s more than enough

Grace is Greater

I don’t know why He loves me, but He does

I don’t know why He saved me, but He did

He gave up all he had and left His throne above

To show His grace and mercy were enough

 

I don’t deserve His favor, but He gives

I don’t deserve His blessing, yet it rains

He treats me like His son who has finally come home

And tells me I will never be alone

 

His love is greater.

His love is deeper

His love is purer.

Than I have ever found

His grace is greater.

His grace is deeper

His grace is purer.

His mercy will abound

And when the final role is called

And my name is heard out loud

I will see Him as I cross the pearly gates

 

Now I know that by His stripes I’m healed

I know that He delivers, and sets me free

When trials come my way I know His loving hand

Will always guide me to His perfect plan

 

Now I know His power is so vast

He tells me He’s my strength, and it will last

I can depend on Him no matter what I face

To keep me in His sweet amazing grace

 

His love is greater.

His love is deeper

His love is purer.

Than I have ever found

His grace is greater.

His grace is deeper

His grave is purer

His mercy will abound

And when the final role is called

And my name is heard out loud

I will see Him as I cross the pearly gates

All Through The Day

Leave a reply

When I open my eyes every morning

I rejoice that I’m still alive

And I give praise to Jesus my Savior

Who has saved me and gave me new life

 

When  I rise from my bed every morning

I feel that I am so blessed

That I still have the strength to be mobile

And to rise up after my rest

 

When I eat that good meal in the morning

I praise God for all He gives

For He’s the provider of all I have

And His love is why I exist

 

All through the day I praise Him

I worship His arms which embrace

For He opens my eyes to see Him

And He gives His amazing grace

New Salvation Song

Leave a reply

I can’t believe He loved me

Before I knew His Name

I can’t believe He’d save me

And take away my shame

I can’t believe He’d heal me

When I was sick or lame

But He did.  Yes, He did

 

I can’t believe He’d give me joy

To replace my sorry soul

I can’t believe the peace He left

When He made me whole

I can’t believe the hope inside

He shows me where I’ll go

But He did.  Yes, He did

 

He did it when He died for me

Upon the cross at Calvary

His sacrifice has set me free

From what my life had been

 

When I first heard His life’s story

I told myself how can this be

That anyone would die for me

And take away my sin

 

So I chose I would not believe

What the Bible said was free

That Jesus paid the price for me

And asked me to come in

 

Now I believe that all those things

I list above are what He brings

Into my life when I can sing

The new salvation song

 

So come with me and take my hand

I’ll take you to the promised land

And there you’ll find His loving plan

And you too will believe.

Jesus Will Carry You

Leave a reply

When life’s got you down

And you feel out of place

Jesus will carry you

If you just feel alone

And your losing the race

Jesus will carry you

 

He’ll carry you through your trials

He’ll carry you through your storm

He’ll carry you through the valley

When everything seems to do harm

He’ll carry you into tomorrow

And He’ll stay right there by your side

Because He promised He’d never forsake you

And His promises always abide

 

So don’t get all down

And don;t be dismayed

Jesus will carry you

And when it’s all over

And your back on your feet

You can thank Him for carrying you

Get Busy

“What is your will, Lord” I asked Him today
As I knelt down this morning and started to pray
I want to know that I’ll walk in your way
For all the days of my life

“My will is that all will come to know me
Go into all of the world is my plea
Preaching the gospel and setting them free
My will has never changed ”

I bowed my head as I knew I’d done less
I hadn’t been doing His work to my best
And still He had seen that my life was blessed
I praised Him for His sweet grace

He said “Son, I am pleased with your life at this time

You have done a great work, many souls are now mine

Never believe that your light has not shined

Your testimony is sure”

 

“But I know there’s so much more I can do

To bring others along so they can know you

And save them from lives of eternal doom

Why have I been so laid back?”

 

I heard Him smile as He said “That is past

Remember the future is mine, and it lasts

So start today and give me your best

Get busy and preach the word”

 

Only in You

Only in you am I free, Lord

From all the sin in my life

You paid the price for my freedom

You became my sacrifice

 

Only in you is there peace, Lord

For my whole mind and soul

Even in times of trouble

You make my heart feel whole

 

Only in you is there joy, Lord

Not just a happy, cool place

You bring a blessing within me

That nobody can displace

 

Only in you is there love, Lord

Not just the lust of this world

You showed us your  compassion

And you taught us in your blessed Word

 

Only in you I reach heaven

You paved he way when you rose

Now I will live forever

Becuase it’s you I chose
