All Day

There’s never a moment
Throughout the day
That I do not praise His name
For He is the one
Who gives me my breath
So He’s worthy of all my praise

When I rise in the morning
I sing out a song
Of honor and glory to Him
For He kept me through
The dark of the night
And buried His peace deep within

When I’m ready to go
And I sit down to eat
The very first meal of the day
I thank Him for all
He provides for me
As He guides me along my way

Through the day as I work
I give highest praise
For I have been blessed with a task
As people come by me
I take time to pray
Is this one the one I should ask?

Maybe He needs a Savior today
Maybe She needs a friend
Maybe you’ve placed them in my path
So I’ll be a witness to them
Speak to me Lord and give me the words
The words that only you know
That I might speak right unto their heart
And give them your love so it shows

My work day now over
I settle back home
And I praise Him for what He has done
If I said just one word
That brought comfort or peace
That person has already won

As I lay my head down
At the end of the day
I give praise that the Lord led me through
And I ask Him to give me
A good nights rest
So tomorrow will bring forth His fruit.

After The Blessing

After the blessing is over

After your song is gone

How do you act in the valley

When all is said and done?

 

When you are not on the mountain

But falling into the abyss

How do you lift yourself upward

And handle the times such as this?

 

There’s no better time to praise Him

For the mercy He’s shown to you

He never will leave you hopeless

He sees everything you do

 

He’ll walk through that valley with you

And pull you up from the abyss

So don’t be distraught or down hearted

He’s there for a time such as this

 

Remember He died for your sins

And He rose to give eternal life

The stripes on His back bring you healing

And His peace will forever abide

 

He gives you the air that you breath

And He waters the earth with His rain

The sun light is there at His pleasure

And He brings them again and again

 

There is no lacking in His sweet mercy

Or the grace that He shows you each day

So forget what you think of as blessings

The lesser things here are His way

 

And please never cease to praise Him

Even when through the valley you go

For your praises will lift up your spirit

More than you’ll ever know.

The Flow

There is a fountain of life

That flows from Calvary’s tree

It comes from God above

And washes over me

But when it hits my heart

It’s not for me to hold

I have an obligation

That others must be told

 

There is a river of hope

That tells me heaven’s my home

There is no doubt of where

I’ll rest when life is o’er

This hope should flow through me

To others that I know

For I am just a vehicle

To bring friends into the fold

 

There is a stream of joy

That flows throughout my heart

It reminds me of the blessings­­­

He does to me impart

These blessings are for everyone

Who call upon His name

So I must share this joy

By giving Him all praise

 

There is a flood of peace

That keeps me safe and warm

It flows from knowing God

Is always on the throne

My friends all need this peace

In this chaotic world

So I must let it flow through me

To touch and make them whole

 

And last there is His love

That flows eternally

It reaches out to everyone

No matter what they be

I must tell all I come to know

Of this great love divine

So the love, joy, peace, hope, life He brings

Will not just stay as mine

Accepted

When I first came to Jesus
I just did not know
If He would take me as I was
Or say I’d  have to go
My life was a disaster
I’d been a mess for years
And when I learned my fate was hell
I burst out into tears
I couldn’t understand
How He could still love me
Because I’d done so many things
To shun His great mercy
Drinking,  drugs and lust galore
Filled my thoughts each day
I figured there was no way out
I’d truly lost my way
But then a good friend told me
Of His amazing grace
That He had taken all my sins
And died to take my place
Now all I had to do
Was accept His sacrifice
So when I asked Him in my heart
He’d fill me with new life
I figured why not try it
I had nothing to lose
The thought of hell forever
Had me shaking in my boots
So I knelt down at the alter
And I asked Him to come in
And I felt a stirring in my soul
Like a rushing, mighty wind
From that day forth my life has changed
Now heaven Is my home
And life on earth is so much more
Of joy and peace and hope
I know deep in my heart
That Jesus loves me so
And now that He accepted me
There’s something you should know
He loves you right where you are
With a love that never dies
He wants to have you as His own
He wants to change your life
So don’t wait until your ready
Just cry out to Him today
And you will be accepted
Your sins He’ll wipe away

Walking With Jesus

Walking with Jesus

All the day long

Fills me with hope

Fills me with song

He is my Savior

My master, My Lord

There is no other

That I will adore

 

When I was a sinner

He still loved me

He took all my burdens

To Calvary’s tree

My sin wiped away

By His sacrifice

He died in my place

To give me new life

 

When He rose again

Death no longer could win

He provided a mansion

For me to dwell in

My hope is now anchored

In His word of life

That heaven’s my home

‘Til the end of all time

 

If you do not know

This Jesus today

Just ask Him to come

And make your heart His home

Ask Him to guide you

Each day that you live

You’ll never regret it

If in Him, you live

 

Walking with Jesus

All the day long

There’s no other way

To make heaven your home

Please walk along with us

And find His sweet love

You’ll soon know His peace

And the Joy from above

One Way

I dreamed I was in heaven
And Jesus walked with me
We went out by the pearly gates
Where a long line I did see
I asked my Lord about it
And He told me just to watch
And listen for a moment
As the line moved slowly past
The first one was a man
Who had given to the poor
He had always put his neighbor first
And never took rewards
To many here on earth
His life had been a blessing
But the angels said I’m sorry
The main thing is still missing
The second was a women
Who had given up her life
As a living testimony
To the church and as a wife
She baked and cleaned and chored
Spent all her time for God
But the angels said I’m sorry
There is one thing you have not
A third and forth and fifth came down
And all had done great things
Some were even pastors
Who were living offerings
But as they told their stories
Of works that they had done
The angels said I’m sorry
You can’t enter, not a one
Then I saw another angel
With a woman who was plain
The angel brought her past the line
To a door with Jesus name
They stopped but for a moment
And the guard opened the book
Then they entered into heaven
And the other stood and looked
I said dear Lord please tell me
What does all of this mean
He looked at me and smiled
It’s simple to explain
The people in the line
Think works will get them in
But this lady had accepted me
And help me deep within
You see my son, the truth is
There is no other way
To enter into heaven
Then to call upon my name
The works you do don’t matter
Nor what you have to give
But if you make me Lord of all
You will in heaven live

My Source

When I thirst I need a fountain

When I am sad I need more joy

When I’m in turmoil peace will comfort me

When I have doubts I turn to faith

When I seem lost I can’t lose hope

When I feel down, love is what I need

 

There are times my life gets dry and hard

I just wallow in the dust

It is in these times the living water flows

You’re my source for strength in battle

As you quench my thirsting soul

I can feel the Holy Spirit in me grow

 

When life brings situations

That bring sadness to my life

I can count on you for overwhelming joy

You’re my source for inspiration

When the burden gets to hard

I can count on you to make my spirit soar

 

In days of great confusion

When I don’t know where to turn

I know that your sweet peace will comfort me

You’re my source for calm assurance

That all things will turn out good

And I’ll rest in the abundance of your peace

 

There are times my doubts take over

And I wonder where to turn

Then I read your word and faith is lifted high

You’re my source for truth and wisdom

In the times I trust my flesh

You renew the faith that gives eternal life

 

In this world of greed and power

It is easy to get turned

From the hope you have instilled within my heart

You’re my source for all the future

I can know heaven’s my home

And forever my abode will not depart

 

Your love is so amazing

Your love is so divine

It sought me out when I was full of sin

You’re me source for loving others

The way that you loved me

Help me, Lord, to keep your love within

He Watches Over Me

He watches over me

Takes care of all my needs

I can depend on Him

He’s always at my side

When in Him I abide

His love will always win

 

When the storms of life do gather

And the wind and waves seem tall

I can trust in Him to never let me fall

And when I need a fortress

‘Cause the battle is too hard

He becomes my refuge from it all

 

When all my friends desert me

Because I live according to His word

I know that He’s a friend who’ll stand by me

And when it seems I’m all alone

He’ll come and let me know

He’s right there with His arms upholding me

 

When my body lets me down

And pain of sickness has set in

I know He is my healer and my strength

It’s now that I must trust Him most

To heal me in His time

The stripes upon His back provided health

 

No matter what the circumstance

Or what my life will bring

Each day I need to rise from sleep and sing

His praises should adorn my lips

And worship guide my tongue

As I give Him thanks for everything

 

I thank you Lord, you’re watching over me

I thank you Lord, you won’t abandon me

I lift my highest praise

To you my hands are raised

I think you Lord for saving me.

Heal Our Land

I sit amidst the chaos

Of a lost and dying world

And I wonder when they’ll come to realize

That the softening of morals

And the sin they now condone

Is truly a reproach in God’s eyes

 

But I also wonder when the church

Will rise up and start to pray

That this world will turn away from all their sin

For it is our duty and our task

To know what the Bible says

And to pray from very deep down within

 

I must first humble myself

And know that I am no better

We are all the same in the sight of God

And if I lift my neighbor
As I would like to be lifted

My prayers will soon be heard in heaven above

 

And once I humble myself I pray

For the lost soul deep within

Everyone who has followed the devils’ lies

I do not judge nor condemn

But pray the light will shine through

And open the sinner’s eyes

 

Then I seek God’s grace

To know how to pray

For the Holy Spirit will give me the words

I must go to Him

To pray righteously

And not have my own thoughts be heard

 

And last but not least

I put my sin aside

If God is to answer my prayer

For If I regard

Sin in my heart

The Lord will not hear what I say

 

After all this

His promise is true

He says He’ll forgive our sin

And then, only then

Will our country revive

For He says He will heal our land

Jesus, You Are

Jesus, what a wonder

You put the stars in place

Separated earth and sky

Set the sun in space

Brought up food from fertile ground

Spoke and animals abound

Jesus, what a wonder you are

 

Jesus, your incredible

Came to earth a babe

Left your throne in glory

In a manger lay

Shepherds bowed in worship

Wise men brought great gifts

Jesus, how incredible you are

 

Jesus, your amazing

Ministered three years

Walked among the people

Joy flowed out in tears

Lowly men would hear Him

Learned men turned from Him

Jesus, how amazing you are

 

Jesus, you are mercy

Died upon the cross

Gave your life so freely

Paid such a big cost

Ransomed me from all my sin

Then you brought me peace within

Jesus, you are mercy to me

 

In all the ways of time and space

There’s no one who can take your place

I long to be in your embrace

Safe from any harm

 

So I will praise your mighty name

You ransomed me, Your name I’ll raise

For all the marvels you have made

Your worth is more than life
