My Refuge That Lasts

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.

Grace is Greater

His grace is greater
Than all my troubles
He watches o’er me
When I fall down

His grace is greater
Than all my weakness
He keeps me floating
When I could drown

His grace is greater
Than all my struggles
He walks beside me
When I’m alone

His grace is greater
Than my temptations
He speaks so softly
And gives me hope

Just enough for today
And not for tomorrow
Yesterday’s grace is gone
Day after day
Like the manna from heaven
I have to depend on Him

Grace, grace
Great grace
Greater than all my life could need
Grace, grace
God’s grace
Grace that is greater than anything

Draw Me To You

I’m running Lord

Running to you

Over the trials

I have to go through

 

I’m listening Lord

Listening for you

Speak to my Spirit

So I know what to do

 

I’m waiting Lord

Waiting for you

Bring me healing

When the time is good

 

I’m searching Lord

Searching for you

I’m lost in the way

But I’ll make it through

 

I’m ready Lord

Ready for you

To take my hand

And draw me to you

The Way is Now Open

Man once lived in a garden

That was pure and full of life

They had their choice of fruit

And berries brought delight

 

But one tree was forbidden

The tree of knowledge called

Good and evil it would show them

But God said don;t eat at all

 

But man was way to curious

And he ate forbidden fruit

So God blocked the way to life

From the garden man did go

 

Generations later

Jesus came to die

He’s the only way

To eternal life

 

The tree of life is open

To all who call on Him

So open up your heart

And ask Him to come in.

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Tree

My King Forever

He is my all

My everything

He is the Lord

The King of Kings

He is my Rock

So now I sing

Praises to His name

 

He is the Lamb

Who gave His life

He came to be

My sacrifice

He rose to give

Eternal Life

I will praise His name

 

All glory and honor and power

Be unto His name

He is my King forever

He’ll always be the same

I lift His name

His wonderful name

I lift His name

His glorious name

I lift His name

The mighty name of Jesus, Jesus

 

He sits in heaven

He watches o‘er me

He sends the angels

To set guard by me

He will return

And take me home

To a mansion He prepared

 

I can no longer contain the praises of my lips

I have to shout from the mountains the love He has to give

So now I will sing at the top of my voice

In Jesus name I‘ll forever rejoice

I’ll sing His praise as long as I shall live

 

All glory and honor and power

Be unto His name

He is my King forever

He’ll always be the same

I lift His name

His wonderful name

I lift His name

His glorious name

I lift His name

The mighty name of Jesus, Jesus

You’re the Answer

Hold me, Lord.

Hold me close

In your everlastings arms

Let me feel

Your tender love

As you keep me from all harm

 

Teach me Lord

Of your ways

Help me walk where your light leads

Keep me always

On the pathway

To the plans you have for me

 

You’re my ever loving Father

My Lord and King of Kings

You’re the answer to my questions

You’re my everything

So I will lift my voice up high

And with it praises sing

To my Savior and my healer

Jesus Christ my King

 

Have mercy, Lord

On my poor soul

For I am still a sinner on my own

I’m so glad

For your grace

Which has washed me white as snow

 

Cleanse my mind

Cleanse my heart

From the things I sometimes think

Give me new

Thoughts so pure

Transform and renew again

 

You’re my ever loving Father

My Lord and King of Kings

You’re the answer to my questions

You’re my everything

So I will lift my voice up high

And with it praises sing

To my Savior and my healer

Jesus Christ my King

 

Praise, glory and honor

To you my precious Lord

Hallelujah in the heavens

It is Jesus we adore

Praise, glory and honor

To you my precious Lord

Hallelujah in the heavens

It is Jesus we adore

 

More than Enough

I once did not know that grace was around

I squandered my life like a big circus clown

Mischief and parties were where I was bound

I didn’t give much thought to God

 

But then I learned that He loved me so much

And I heard His voice, and I felt His touch

I learned that He’s graceful, more than enough

To forgive me of all of my sin

 

So I asked Him then to make me His own

And I will eternally bow to His throne

Because of His grace I will not be alone

He will walk with me everyday

The Master Painter

I sit and watch

As sunset approaches

Scattered clouds above the western horizon

 

A ribbon of gold touches the bottom clouds

He spreads upward

Around the dark clouds

Bright and shimmering

Outlining and silhouetting

 

Suddenly a blaze of brilliant gold

Rays peek through

To touch a higher cloud with gold

 

Sun sinks deeper

Red starts to color he lower clouds

As Gold starts to relinquish its power

 

Red, orange, pink, yellow

An incessant palate

Changing minute to minute

Reaching across the sky

Until it reaches above me

Behind me

 

Then slowly the colors fade

From west to east

Into gray

As the last rays

Leave the clouds

 

Oh. What a thrill

To watch the Master painter

At work

The Songs of Heaven

Isaiah saw the seraphims

Flying ‘round the throne

In the year that King Uzziah died

They were shouting highest praise

As the flew with all their might

And the posts and doors moved as they cried

 

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord of hosts:

The whole earth is full of His glory

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord of hosts:

The whole earth is full of His glory

 

John saw four beasts in Heaven

Appear before the throne

The likes of which were clear for Him to see

One like a Lion, one a calf,

Then a man and last a flying eagle

Singing night and day these words of praise

 

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God Almighty

Which was, and is, and is to come

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God Almighty

Which was, and is, and is to come

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

 

John saw four and twenty seats

Gathered ‘round the throne

Four and twenty elders came along

Clothed in white they gathered

Crowns of gold upon their heads

They bowed before the throne and sang their song

 

Thou art worthy, oh Lord

To receive glory and honor and power;

For thou hast created all things,

And for thy pleasure they are and were created

 

Then he saw the four beasts gather

With the elders ‘round the throne

As the lamb of God appeared in majesty

They were looking for the one

Who could open up the book

And only He could bear the task, so they start to sing

 

Thou art worthy to take the book,

And to open the seals thereof:

For thou wast slain,

And hast redeemed us to God by thy blood

Out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:

And we shall reign on the earth.

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

 

Then I saw the angels gather

With the beasts and elders there

Around the Lamb who sat upon the throne

And the number of them grew

Ten thousand times ten thousand

As they sang aloud the praises of my Lord

 

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

To receive power, and riches, and wisdom,

And strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

 

And every creature up in heaven,

And here upon the earth,

And even those who dwell under the earth,

And all the creatures of the sea,

Lift up their voice on high,

Their praises to our Lord and King

 

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,

Be unto Him that sits upon the throne,

And unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,

Be unto Him that sits upon the throne,

And unto the Lamb for ever and ever

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

More Than Enough

My God is mercy
More than enough
To wipe away all of my sin
He gave His own Son
To die in my place
So I could have peace deep within

My God is grace
Amazing and True
He places His Spirit in me
Each day He guides me
Into His truth
As I grow to what I’m made to be

He’s more than enough

More than enough

More than enough for me

And when I lay down

To sleep, I have found

His peace washes over me

 

My God is love

Compassion abounds

He loved me before I knew Him

And each day he sends

This wonderful love

Into my heart once again

 

My God is holy

Purer than gold

His holiness Is what I yearn

He calls me to be

As holy as He

He is patient and kind as I learn

 

He’s more than enough

More than enough

More than enough for me

And when I lay down

To sleep, I have found

His peace washes over me

 

My God is faithful

Day after day

He’s always right there by my side

When I call on Him

He hears every word

And answers when it’s His time

 

All of these things

My God is to me

He says that’s how I ought to be

I must spread the word

Of my wonderful God

To all that He brings close to me
