Wondrous Grace

Leave a reply

Your grace amazes me

It’s all I think about

For when I was a sinner

You turned my life around

 

I was lost and hopeless

My days filled with despair

But then your grace came flooding in

Forgiveness found me there

 

I knelt down at the altar

And asked you to come in

Your grace was there to meet me

And take away my sin

 

Oh, the wondrous grace of Jesus

More than I could ever dream

Just keeps giving me His blessings

Undeserved He gives to me

 

Every time I fail Him

I come to Him in tears

His grace is there to meet me

And take away my fears

 

And when I’m having troubles

And can’t find the way out

His grace comes in and rescues me

And takes away all doubt

 

Oh, the wondrous grace of Jesus

More than I could ever dream

Just keeps giving me His blessings

Undeserved He gives to me

 

I will lift my voice in praise

To His glorious name

Worship Him with all I am

For His wondrous grace

Praising Through the Pain

Is anyone awake out there?

Can anybody hear?

I sure could use a friend right now

To talk to through my tears.

 

My back is aching once again

I cannot sleep at all

I took a pain pill hour ago

And I’m afraid I’ll fall

 

Oh, my God, where are you?

Can you hear my cry?

Why won’t you deliver me?

Why won’t pain subside?

 

My feet are aching also

It hurts me just to stand

And when I try to walk somewhere

The drop foot seems to land.

 

The walker helps to get up

And get into my chair

And that is where I sit right now

Not going anywhere

 

Oh, God, I’m crying out to you

Please heal these pains of mine

I need to know you hear me now

I need you at this time

 

I will lift my voice in praise

To you, my precious Lord

For you have done so much for me

A fact I can’t ignore

 

I thank you for your mercy

And I ask you now for more

But even if you leave me here

I’ll worship you, my Lord

 

I lift your name up high right now

Your glory I proclaim

Your worthy of my worship Lord

Even if my pain remains.

I can’t imagine what it took

For God to give His Son

No other god would even think 

Of what our God has done 

He didn’t copycat His plan

To set the captive free 

He planned it from the very start

To save a wretch like me.

Praise in the Night

​In the middle of the night

With my back in pain
I cry to the Lord
Heal me again
But it seems like my words 
Are said in vain 
Oh Lord won’t you hear my prayer

Then my enemy
Speaks into my ear 
Don’t you know He sleeps 
And He cannot hear
Just forget your god 
And cry your tears
Your God doesn’t really care

But I turn my head
And I shut him out
I don’t need his words
That are full of doubt
I know just the thing 
To turn this about
I’ll just start to praise the Lord

How I love you Lord
For your mercy reigns 
You have healed before 
And will heal again
I adore you Lord
And I praise your name 
What an awesome God I serve

He is full of love
And majesty 
He is stronger than 
My enemy
He will not allow me
To see defeat
His victory’s coming soon

Now I lay my head
Back down to sleep
For I know my God
My soul will keep 
He’s my solid rock 
And He’ll always be
The Lord who will comfort me.

How I love you Lord
For your mercy reigns 
You have healed before 
And will heal again
I adore you Lord
And I praise your name 
What an awesome God I serve

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

Worthy of my praise forever

Worthy of my praise forever

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

 

Looking for Real

3 Replies

Reality is hard to come by

In today’s old, mixed up world

Who knows what to believe

In the new cycle whirl

 

Artificial stories

Making headlines pop

One will never know

When the rumor stops

 

But nothings artificial

About God’s love for you

If you want something really real

He’ll always be the truth

Shout to the Lord

Sing out His praise

He is magnificent

In all of His ways

 

Dance for the Lord

With a heart full of joy

He is Amazing

And, Oh so much more

 

He formed the earth

Divided the seas

Set up the sun

He created the trees

Brought up the beasts

And birds of the air

Then He made man

His image He shared

And when He was done

He said all was good

Creation was done

It is wonderful

 

Give to the Lord

All of your praise

Worship His holiness

Lift up His name

 

Raise up your hands

Lift up your eyes

He is exalted

God only wise

 

Came down from heaven

Gave up His throne

Suffered and beaten

Left all alone

 

Forgiving my sin

Washing it white

Filling my life

With His glorious light

Placed in the tomb

Sealed with a stone

Rose up to life

Will soon take me home

Taking my shame

My quilt and my fear

Filled me with peace

He dries every tear

 

I will rejoice

In Jesus my Lord

Day after day

He’s the one I adore

 

Forever and ever

I’ll praise His name

For He is worthy

Of all of my praise

I used to listen to music

That was considered underground

Acid Rock, gross in lyrics

Revolution and dissent all around

 

I didn’t know how it had shaped me

And the attitude I would live by

For I definitely had a bad spirit

And the music it just multiplied

 

Now I have changed all my music

Christian is the name of the game

And my thought life is oh, so much better

I can tell since music has changed

 

So if you find your thoughts are struggling

Maybe a change will help clear

Come up from those negative kyrics

And try Christian to bring you good cheer

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.
