Trials on the way

Keeping me from harm
Seeing that I have His love
In His outstretched arms

Oh what mercy, oh what grace
He surrounds me in this place
Ever drawing me so near
To His blessed side

Oh what mercy, oh what grace
He loved me and took my place
On a cross He bled and died
Crucified for me

Oh the mighty love of Jesus
Coming down from heaven above
Left His royal home in glory
Just to show us His great love

Oh what mercy, oh what grace
Soon we'll see His blessed face
Rose again to give us life
For eternity

Oh the mighty love of Jesus
Reached into my sinful heart
Gave me pardon, debt forgiven
And from me He will not part

I will worship His sweet name
I will give Him all my praise
Jesus Christ is mine forever
Oh what mercy, oh what grace

Favor Undeserved

Leave a reply 
You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor 
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence 
I will worship your sweet name

All the mercy you give 
Freely into me, Lord 
I do not deserve your love
Mercy that does pardon 
All of my transgression 
Mercy from your throne above

Then you pour your grace out
Favor undeserved, Lord
Freely you bestow your gifts 
I can't begin to measure
The blessings your grace brings me
Every day they help me live

Finally your love comes 
Overwhelms my spirit
That you'd love a wretch like me
I am, oh, so thankful
You would look on me Lord 
To wash away my sin and set me free

And soon you will came back
To take me home with thee
And I will praise your name
Through all eternity

You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor 
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence 
I will worship your sweet name



Mercy Is All

There are so many times 
I know in my heart
His mercy is all that I need
From the most desperate days
To the oft sleepless nights
He mercy will cover me

When I'm sick in my bed
And a daze fills my head 
His mercy is all that I need
Because no matter how long
It takes healing to come
His mercy will cover me

Oh mercy of God
So large and so free
There is none that can compare
To the marvelous trust
I can have in your love 
Because your mercy is always there.

When I feel down and out
And I just want to shout
His mercy is all that I need
Because I know that He 
Is right there with me
His mercy will cover me

When the enemies strong
And I don't have a song 
His mercy is all that I need
He'll raise up His hand
And help me to stand
His mercy will cover me

I'll trust in the Lord
With all my heart
And I won't trust in those things I know
I'll acknowledge Him 
In all my ways 
And He will make my paths known

Oh mercy of God
So large and so free
There is none that can compare
To the marvelous trust
I can have in your love 
Because your mercy is always there.


Mercy Covers All

When I call on you in my darkest day
You will hear the words that I say
And you'll answer me in your timely way
'Cause it's in your name that I pray

And when tears arise in the dead of night
And I cry to you out of fright
You will come to me with your peace so right
And you'll lead me to your light

What an awesome friend you are
Always there for me when I fall 
You show grace to me
Every time I need
And your mercy covers all

When my doubt is large, and my faith is small
I can always trust in your call
You will see my fear and you'll give your all
To revive me when I fall

What an awesome friend you are
Always there for me when I fall 
You show grace to me
Every time I need
And your mercy covers all

You hear my every prayer
Your answers always there
Though it may not be
What I want to see
I know you're always fair
You'll give to me
Just what I need
Every time I pray

What an awesome friend you are
Always there for me when I fall 
You show grace to me
Every time I need
And your mercy covers all

His Grace is Enough For Me

(note: This was written in 2016 when I was in a battle with cancer.  I am cancer free today)

My friends I am fighting a cancer
That has settled in all over me
And though I must walk through this valley
His grace is enough for me

In a short time I will take chemo
I will be sick and full of dis-ease
But I know that he's right there with me
His grace is enough for me

And when I am weak and so tired
And my eyelids so week I can't see
I will still hear his voice whisper softly
His grace is enough for me

And when it seems I'm at my weakest
And it takes all my effort to breathe
I will look up and say to my Savior
Your Grace is enough for me

This cancer just cannot defeat me
Even though I get weary and weak
I'll always remember this one thing
His grace is enough for me

I know that His Spirit is guiding
And I know the He’ll comfort me
So why should I dread and worry?
His grace is enough for me

And when I am done with this journey
And this cancer is all out of me
I will look up to heaven and praise Him
His grace was enough for me


Grace & Mercy

Merciful Savior

When I begin to think about
What Jesus did for me
I always must remember
The day He set me free 

My sins were overwhelming
I couldn’t find my way
I tried so many other things
That just led me astray

But Jesus said He’d rescue me
From the depths of sin
I needed to escape my past
And find some peace within

Oh, what a merciful Savior
Oh, what grace divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus now is mine

So I sat down and prayed a prayer
And asked Him in my heart
There was no doubt He touched me
As I felt Him from the start

From that day on He stayed with me
I grew in His embrace
And now I trust Him every day
To cover me with grace

My heart shouts out His praises
As I lift my voice in song
He’s all I ever needed
With Him I can’t go wrong

Oh, what a merciful Savior
Oh, what grace divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus now is mine


Mercy Falls

Leave a reply 
Spring time showers bringing life
Raindrops splashing through the night
Storm clouds billow up so tall
Like the raindrops, mercy falls

Our great God is oh so wise
Mercy keeps us all alive
Through his endless, boundless love
He desires us all above

Winter cold is drawing near
North wind chill that you can hear
Snow is swirling in the air	
Like the snowflake, mercy falls	

Our great God the seasons made
This His promise does remain
Mercy is His promise too
It will come and rescue you

Mercy falls, oh praise His name
Mercy falls, our lives are changed
His great love reaches to all
Oh what joy when Mercy falls


Awesome Grace

I can't imagine
What God will do today
Every day is a new miracle
When I trust His way 

Nobody ever knows 
The blessings that will come
When I yield to His spirit
And trust in His love

Today might bring trials
That challenge my faith 
Designed so I'll run
To His awesome grace

Sickness may come
In the midst of the night
Will I trust on His healing?
To end my plight?

Friends might desert me
And ruin my name
It's then I need Jesus
To weather the pain

Days are not always 
Blessings and joy
There are times in the valley
When we need to grow

So God allows these things
To strengthen our faith
If we’ll only just trust 
In His awesome grace
