When life gets chaotic
And you can’t find your way
I have a solution
To rearrange your day
Just start out with Jesus
Give His word some time
Sing praise to His name
It will trasnform your life
Because time spent with Jesus
To start out the day
Will stiffle the chaos
Amd bring peace always.
In respone to the daily prompt Rearrange
Solitary
All alone
That will be defeated with my Lord
He is always here inside my heart
Downcast
Hope is lost
That will be defeated with my Lord
He encourages right from the start
When I gave my heart to Jesus
All my doubts and fears He took
He threw them all away
And He told me where to look
He said you’ll find your answers
In the pages of my book
Worried
Faith is weak
That will be defeated with My Lord
He restores my faith when mine is gone
Falling
Strength is gone
That will be defeated with my Lord
He gives me the strength to battle on
I know this world will try me
And will test the faith I claim
But every time I start to fade
I call upon His name
He lifts me up and dusts me off
And then I sing His praise
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Victory is coming from my Lord
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
He gives me the power through His word
I will not be defeated
I will claim
His mighty name
Hallelujah
Changes come and changes go
You never know what’s next
Hairstyles, fashion, colored toes
It’s hard to know what’s best
But all these changes just don’t last
They make no difference
And when the change has come to pass
Most people could care less
I know one change that is for real
A brilliant transformation
For when I came to Jesus Christ
He gave me Salvation
My life was changed in every way
His Word becamse my ration
As I applired it to my life
It gave me inspiration
From weak I now became strong
From poor He filled me up
I was a sinner, shame throughout
He cleaned my inner cup
My life was bound for hell that day
But now I’m heaven bound
The transformation Jesus brought
Chnaged me from kost to found
In response to the daily prompt Transformation
One day every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord of all
In heaven and in earth
One day everyone will gather
‘Round the throne of God
Some will live eternally
Some will be cast out
He’s calling out today
For all to find His way
So why not bow and pray
To Jesus Christ today
This day you can make the choice
That one day will decide
Whether you will live eternally
Or be the one cast out
This day make the choice for Jesus
He’s the only way
Take Him as your Lord and Savior
Call on Him today
He will take your sins away
Wash them white as snow
He will give you peace and joy
That you have never known
He will grant deliverance
From all that holds you down
He will replace all your fear
With faith that you can grow
He will give you hope that lasts
For all eternity
His love will encompass you
And let’s you know you’re his
He’s calling out today
For all to find His way
So why not bow and pray
To Jesus Christ today
If I could say one word to Jesus
What word would it be
What word would summarize
All my Savior means to me
How can a single word take in
His royal majesty
There must be such a word
That I could speak
Amazing.
So Amazing
So Amazing is His love for me
Truly Amazing
Simply Amazing
How Amazing that Jesus would love me
From on His throne in heaven
He looked down to see my plight
And came to earth to die
So that I could have new life
It’s hard to comprehend such love
For such a worm as I
Amazing
If He would grant me one word
Perhaps He’d grant me two
The next word would be just as hard
To think about and choose
My thoughts would wander through a list
Of words that call-in praise
I’d have to find a word
That would live His holy name
Magnificent
So Magnificent
So Magnificent is my Savior’s love for me
Magnificent
Surely Magnificent
Magnificent that He would care enough
He tells me every day
How much He loves me so
He fills me with His peace
And calms my weary soul
The joy that He bestows on me
It lightens up my load
And His Spirit leads the way
Everywhere I go
Magnificent
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
You are my rock
You are my refuge
You are my fortress
You are my Lord
You are my hope
You are my joy
You are my peace
You are my Lord
So I will lift my voice
In highest praise
Jesus I magnify
Your mighty name
I’ll worship you Lord
All of my days
For you are worthy
Of all of my praise
You are my light
You are my way
You are my truth
You are my Lord
You are my source
You are my strength
You are my life
You are my Lord
I’ll praise you in the morning
I’ll praise you in the night
I’ll praise you in the mid-day sun
I’ll praise with all my might
I’ll praise you with my voice
I’ll praise with my hands
I’ll praise you in my living room
And all throughout the land
And I will lift my voice
In highest praise
Jesus I magnify
Your mighty name
I’ll worship you Lord
All of my days
For you are worthy
Of all of my praise
It’s hard to find the words to say
How much I love my Lord
Every day that passes by
I love Him more and more
He’s with me everywhere I go
He never leaves my side
I know I can depend on Him
For in me He abides
He talks to me with loving word
He tells makes me feel so calm
Whenever I am feeling low
He lifts me in His arms
Wonderful He is to me
Marvelous His ways
I will praise His mighty name
Every single day
He comforts me when times are hard
He sends the Spirit in
I can feel His awesome touch
As He dwells deep within
His peace does overwhelm me
Every time I turn around
There’s nothing like the peace of God
To make you safe and sound
His joy is so unspeakable
Even when times aren’t good
I feel it flooding to my soul
Like a rapid running brook
Wonderful He is to me
Marvelous His ways
I will praise His mighty name
Every single day
His mercy and His grace come last
But certainly not least
They’re always there protecting me
From the enemy
And I can so depend on them
To carry me each day
I can’t imagine life without
His mercy and His grace
Wonderful He is to me
Marvelous His ways
I will praise His mighty name
Every single day

Thank you, Jesus,
For the love you share with me –
I thank you, Jesus,
For the love that’s always in my heart.
I know –
You will always love me:
And I know –
That your love does fill me:
Yes I know –
That I’ll always have you inside of me
Oh – thank you,
Thank you Jesus.
How many days go by
When I seldom hear a sigh;
You are always deep within me –
Ever holding my heart gently –
Keeping me alive –
So I may share your love.
Thank you, Jesus,
For the love you share with me –
I thank you, Jesus,
For the love that’s always in my heart.
I know –
That you’re always near me:
So I feel –
That I should not fear love:
So I give –
All I can do show I do care for others
Oh – thank you,
Thank you Jesus.
Thanks and praise be to Jesus!
Thanks and praise be to Jesus!
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.
The Psalmist
