Surrounded

Leave a reply 
You surround me with your peace, Oh Lord
I am resting in your arms, I’m yours
All my worries gone away
I am calm throughout the day
Since your peace is nestled in my heart

You surround me with your joy, Oh Lord
I can face the trials that reach my door
Nothing causes me dismay
As I trust in you each day
Since your joy is nestled in my soul

You surround me with your hope, oh Lord
My future is secure, this I know
While the world is running wild
I remain both calm and mild
Since your hope is nestled way below

You surround me with your victory Lord
The enemy’s defeated by your word
All I have to do is speak
And the enemy retreats
Since your victory is mine for sure

You surround me with your love, Of Lord
I will seek you as it’s you I adore
My I never cease to praise
Your wonderful, sweet name
Since your love is mine and so much more.

Near To You

Leave a reply 
I want to walk with you
For miles and miles
Everyday, Lord 
To be in your presence 
And feel your sweet touch 
I want to stay with you
Step by step
Never leave your side
Constantly abide
In your love
Everyday 

I want to talk with you 
For hours and hours
Everyday, Lord
To soak in your wisdom
And learn how to love
I want to hear your voice
Word by word
Never close my ears
Listen all the years
To your love 
Everyday

Being with you
And hearing your voice
Is my hearts desire
My only choice
Every minute 
I spend with you
Just draws me closer  
To your side

Near to you
Near to you
Knowing your touch 
Hearing your voice 
Near to you
By your side
That's where I'll abide.



With You, Lord

Leave a reply 
I want to be with you, Lord
To dance around your throne
To praise your name forever
To make heaven my home 

I want to be with you, Lord
To walk the streets of gold
To see those gone before me
To no more getting old

Yes, heaven will be wonderful
A lovely place to stay 
But I won't wait for heaven
To walk with you each day

Because you said you're with me
And will never leave my side
I choose to walk with you, Lord
While I on earth abide

I am always with you, Lord
To weather every storm
To see me through my trials 
To keep me from all harm

I am always with you, Lord
To guide me day by day 
To teach me by your Spirit
To walk in all your ways

Your promises are true Lord
And if I walk thus way
When I come to deaths door
I'll pass through heavens gates

So if you want a heav'nly home
Then make this your daily chore
Walk with Jesus here on earth
And heaven will be yours.


I Want to See Your Face

Leave a reply 
I want to see your face
Put my hand in your hand
Hear you whisper in my ear
Walk beside you through this land

I want to have your blessing
As we walk side by side
Knowing you will never leave me
If with you I abide

Jesus, precious Jesus
You are all that I desire
Your Holy Spirit guiding me
Will set my heart on fire
Help me live a life of mercy
Help me live a life of grace
Because that is what it takes
If I want to see your face

I want to have you smile at me
And tell me job well done
I want your love to flow through me
Reaching everyone

I want to see the nations saved
So all will sing your praise
Because there's nothing more I love
Than worshiping your name

Jesus, precious Jesus
You are all that I desire
Your Holy Spirit guiding me
Will set my heart on fire
Help me live a life of mercy
Help me live a life of grace
Because that is what it takes
If I want to see your face


Just Before the Dawn

Leave a reply 
Just before the dawn
All is quiet and calm
I sit and think 
About the things
That God has done for me

He has saved me from the depths of sin
Given me new life within
Washed my sins as white as snow
Buried my shame below
Sanctified me, made me whole
Oh what an awesome God I serve

Just before the dawn
Before my clocks alarms
I can't believe
The strength I feel
Knowing God is here

He holds me in His loving arms
Keeps me safe from all concerns
Gives me health when my strength wanes
Never leaves me with my pains
Hears my every thought and prayer
Oh what an awesome God I serve

Just before the dawn
I sit here and I yawn
I know He's here
He hears my prayer
And answers every time
Oh what an awesome God I serve

Come Down

Leave a reply 
Come down, Lord.
Come down into this pit I’m in.
Come down, Lord.
Come down and save me from my sin’
Come down, Lord.
Come down, and raise me up again
Come down

Rise up, Lord
Rise up and bring me victory
Rise up, Lord
Rise up and bring new life to me
Rise up, Lord
Rise up that set my Spirit free
Rise up

Only you can save me from this dreadful state I’m in
I’ve fallen in a pit so deep and given place to sin
You are the only one who can raise me up again
Come down to me, Oh Lord, and help me rise

Help me rise to holiness
Help me rise to peace
Help me rise to joy again
Through your unending grace
Help me rise to righteousness
Help me rise to faith
Help me rise to life again
A life that brings you praise

Constantly Abiding

Leave a reply 
Constantly abiding
In Him I will stay
Bask in His love
Follow His way
Never to leave
His precious side
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

Amazing grace
He’s given to me
Paid all me debt
Then set me free
Out of the darkness
Into the light
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

The Old Rugged Cross
Is a vision of love
Total redemption
Sent from above
His precious blood
Shed there for mine
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

Great is His faithfulness
He’s always there
Sunrise to sunset
Answer my prayers
He walks beside me
In Him I’ll abide
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

It is well with my soul
When I call Him Lord
He is my Savior
Whom I adore
He gives me peace
When the world gives me strife
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

Just as I am
He accepts me each day
I’ll never be worthy
Of His awesome grace
He looks beyond
The flaws in my life
He is my Lord
My love and my life.





I Want To Be Closer

Leave a reply 
I want to be closer.  Closer to your side
I want to be nearer.  Never let me hide
I want to be purer.  As I walk through life
I want to be yours.  In you I will abide

There is never a time you will leave my side
But I may wander away
When I do I can rest assured you abide
In my heart each and every day

You promised you’ll never leave or forsake me
Even if I should mess up
When I find myself far from where I should be
You come and fill my cup

When I cannot hide from the trials I face
I just want to walk away
But you come and guide me to a peaceful place
Where I can bow and pray

These are the reasons I trust in you
Every promise I know is true
You will be with me my whole life through
Jesus, my Lord


You Are Here

Surrounded by your mercy.
Surrounded by your grace.
Surrounded by presence,
and held in your embrace.

Surrounded by your peace.
Surrounded by your joy.
Surrounded by your love.
I know you’re always with me Lord

You are here.  You are always here.
You are near.  You are always near.
Even though I may not see you or hear your voice.
You are here.
