Come and Draw Near

1 Reply 
Hail to the King who came yesterday
Humble and meek laid in the hay
Worshiped by wise men, Shepherds kept guard
Led their by Angels and a bright morning star

Hail to the King who came down from His throne
To be born in a manger.  To be born all alone
The world did not notice.  The world did not care
That the Lord of all Lords was suddenly there

Hail to the King, He was born to die
For my sins and yours God in flesh, now alive
He would walk among men.  He would tell them of love
He would show them the way of the Father above
Then they'd beat him and mock him and send him to death
Yet He would forgive them until His last breath

Hail to the King.  Our salvation is here
Don't get left behind, come and draw near
He cries out to know you.  He knocks at the door
Won't you open your heart so His love can be yours?

You Came Down

Leave a reply 
You ruled in the heavens 
As King of Kings
You came down to earth 
Without anything
You died on the cross 
Salvation to bring
You went to the tomb 
And buried my sin

Lord you are worthy
Worthy of praise.  
Praise for all you have done
Lord you are worthy
Worthy of praise.  
Praise for all you have done

You opened the grave 
And came out alive
You rose up to heaven 
And gave us eternal life
You came down to lift me up
Up from the depths of sin
Up to new life within.   
For me you came down

You came down to lift me up 
Out of the miry clay
Into your arms to stay.  
For me you came down

He is my solid rock, my fortress in the storm
He keeps me safely in his everlasting arms
He gives me peace so I feel no alarm
He's my Savior, and my friend.

He finds a way when there is no other way
He finds a rainbow in the midst of cloudy days
He knows my path and goes with me all the way
He's my Savior, and my friend

Jesus, what a wonder you are.
Amazing and merciful to me
You brighten up my darkest hour
Jesus, what a wonder you are

He has my future in the palm of His hands
He has for me only good and righteous plans
He will protect me as I travel through this land
He's my Savior, and my friend

He has prepared an eternal place for me
He gives me peace about my destiny
He's will be with me for all eternity
He's my Savior, and my friend

Jesus, what a wonder you are.
Amazing and merciful to me

Jesus, what a wonder you are

Great God Almighty

I will praise God the Father, great things He has done 
He has given us a Savior. He has given us His son
Who died for our sins and then He rose again, 
Sent the Holy Spirit to guide us to His love

Great God Almighty how I love Him
He came to us a lowly child
Born of a virgin in a stable 
Lived life as one whose meek and mild

He walked upon this earth healing sickness
Opened blinded eyes so they could see
Taught us about a loving Father
Who always cared for you and me

He walked this earth to show His power 
Great things He did and always good 
But those in authority distained Him
His mission they had misunderstood 

They whipped him and spit on Him in hatred
They put a crown of thorns upon His head
They nailed Him to a cross and crucified Him
Left Him to hang ‘til He was dead

Some friends laid Him in a borrowed tomb
Rolling a stone across the door
The people all thought that it was over
They would not gear from Him anymore 

Three days went by
Three days went by
The stone rolled back
He rose alive. 
Out of the tomb
Out of the grave 
He is alive 
He is alive 
He is alive
So we can live
Forevermore
To spread His love 

I will praise God the Father, great things He has done 
He has given us a Savior. He has given us His son
Who died for our sins and then He rise again, 
Sent the Holy Spirit to guide us to His love

I Can’t Imagine

I can’t imagine what went through the shepherd’s mind that night
When the angel of the Lord appeared, bringing brilliant light
I can’t imagine what they heard when those angels start to sing
Peace on earth and Hallelujah, glory to the newborn king

I can’t imagine what the wisemen thought from distance far
When they looked up in the sky and saw that brilliant star
I can’t imagine as they journeyed to a foreign land
To see the King of Kings as the prophecy had said

I can’t imagine Joseph’s thoughts a Mary was in pain
Bringing forth the baby that would be the great I AM
I can’t imagine Mary holding Jesus as a babe
And singing lullaby’s to Him as He lay in the hay

I can’t imagine Jesus before the Father on that day
Saying I will go to earth and become a little babe
I can’t imagine walking with Him as He taught the crowds
And being there when he scolded all the Pharisees aloud

I can’t imagine all the pain he felt that fateful night
As they beat Him and they whipped Him into a frightful sight
I can’t imagine seeing Him just hanging on a cross
I probably would think that this is such a loss

I can’t imagine when one day I’ll see Him in the clouds
As He returns to take us home and give to us our crowns
I can’t imagine what a time that we will have in heaven
Praising Him and joining saints forever and forever.

It Was All For You

It was all for you
When He came to this earth 
As a babe on a manger

It was all for you
When He taught of God's love
And His marvelous kingdom

It was all for you.
When he healed the sick
And caused the lame to walk

It was all for you
When He bestowed His peace
And His joy ran free

It was all for you
When he raised the dead
And opened blinded eyes

It was all for you
When He was beaten and mocked
And He carried that cross

It was all for you
The nails in His Hands
The thorns on His brow
The spear in His side
They were all for you
When he gave up the ghost
And died on the cross

It was all for you
He didn't come for Himself
To be honored and praised
He didn't come just to be
A worldly King
He came for you and me
He didn't seek to be honored
And praised among men
But to die a horrible death
He didn't die as the world would think He did
But He gave up His life for you.

It Is Finished

I found myself kneeling before His cross 
I could not explain how I felt
Tears of deep sorrow flowed from my eyes 
Dripping down in the blood where I knelt

I looked up to see my Savior so dear
His body all beaten and red
I cried our "Dear Lord what shall I do"
And He looked down at me and said

It is finished your redemption is paid 
It is finished your sin Is erased 
Don't be sad, do not weep
Keep your heart. Keep my peace
In three days all the world will see
It is finished

I stood up and started to praise him
As He gave up a sorrowful sigh
Then His head bowed and life just left Him
I now knew my Savior had died

As I went to my home, I remembered the words
That He spoke to me from His cross 
Then I fasted and prayed for those few days
Hoping soon I'd get over this loss

Then I heard great commotion outside in the street
Someone running and yelling real loud
He's Alive the kept saying
Over and over
He's alive.  He's alive. He's alive 

It is finished the battle is over
It is finished the victory mine 
Jesus has conquered the grave and death 
It is finished and He is alive

I Need to Be Reminded

Leave a reply 
I need to be reminded of the price you paid for me
When you left your throne in heaven and came to rescue me
I need to be reminded as a baby you arrived
There was no one here to greet you but some shepherds on that night

I need to be reminded of the lessons that you taught
As you walked on this earth as a man and not as God
I need to be reminded of the works that you performed
There were many who believed and many who would harm

I need to be reminded of the price you paid for me
When you suffered and died that day on Calvary
I need to be reminded of the suffering and the pain
As they beat you and bruised you again and again

I need to be reminded that you rose again that day
Up from the grave to open heavens gates
I need to be reminded that you reign eternally
I know there is a mansion up in heaven just for me

I need to be reminded that your story has been told
In the Bible it was written by men so long ago
I need to be reminded to spend my time each day
In the pages of your book where your words are there to stay

I need to be reminded that my life is in your hands
That you care for me and hope for me to walk in your great plan
I need to be reminded to spend time in prayer each day
And to lift my eyes to heaven and give you all my praise

He Did It All For Me

Leave a reply 
I am so glad He was born for me. 
In a manger where almost no one could see. 
He was born with great humility. 
And He did it all for me

I am so glad that he lived for me. 
Teaching the way that I should be. 
Miracles that everyone could see. 
And he did it all for me

I am so glad that he suffered for me. 
Took the stripes on his back and the nails in his feet. 
Made the devil go down in eternal defeat. 
And He did it all for me

I am so glad that he died for me 
and then rose again to victory 
now all live with him eternally.
He did it all for me

His mercy and grace are more than enough. 
His atoning death was what brought him to us. 
And now we are free from the curse of the cross. 
Because He did it all for me.

So, rise up and shout in victory. 
Give him the praise and the glory. 
And tell everyone you know eternal story 
Of how he did it all for me

The Cross Was the Reason

 When I think about the manger, I think about the cross
 All the wondrous things God did on those two days
 The first tells of the birth of the precious Son of God
 To bring to us the dawn of peace and grace
  
 The shepherds in the field show all are welcome there
 The kings who came with gifts show us His worth
 The star was like a beacon that anyone could see
 But only few received the Saviors birth
  
 The manger shows His meekness and deep humility
 That the Son of God would come to such a place
 The inn shows us that many would turn the babe away
 Refusing to partake of God’s sweet grace
  
 The cross shows us His passion for every single one
 The bruises and the scars He took for us
 His cry of please forgive them rings down throughout all time
 Showing that our God is true and just
  
 He gave His mother comfort from the agony He felt
 As He gave John the charge to care for her
 His cry of don’t forsake me shows His bitter taste of death
 For the first time He was parted from His Father
  
 When He cried it is finished all creation should have bowed
 To the King who gave His life for all mankind
 The plan of our redemption was finally complete
 And His death would be a light for all of time
  
 But it was not finished, the story’s not complete
 Three days later He arose from death to life
 Now He lives forevermore and He reigns from High above
 Providing for us all eternal life
  
 Yes, the manger stands so tall as a beacon in the dark
 Of a world that’s full of sin and much despair
 But you cannot see the manger as a symbol by itself
 The cross was the reason that He came
