Arise

Leave a reply

Arise, Arise

For the Lord is coming

Riding on the clouds to take His children home

Arise, Arise

The day is fast approaching

Don’t be left behind and all alone

 

I love the way He loves me

And fills me with His joy

It keeps me singing every single day

I love the peace He gives me

Way down deep inside

It fills my heart with calm along the way

 

He gives me hope that lasts

Through the good times and the bad

I can depend that He will care for me

And then He grows my faith

For He always guides my life

Through every single trial that I see

 

He’s always right there with me

And He hears my every prayer

I know He’ll answer when the time is right

He also has a plan for me

A plan that’s good for me

So II can always know the future’s bright

 

But nothing will compare

To the day that He arrives

It will come in the twinkling of an eye

And those who have accepted

His loving sacrifice

Wil join Him as they rise up to the sky

 

Arise, Arise

For the Lord is coming

Riding on the clouds to take His children home

Arise, Arise

The day is fast approaching

Don’t be left behind and all alone

Born Again

1 Reply

I was born to be holy; I was born to be free

I was born to take part in His ministry

I was born when the spirit came in like a dove

I was born when I accepted God’s own son

 

Born again – He gave me new life

Born again – the old man must die

Born again – by the power of His hand

Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again

 

I was born to be righteous in Christ alone

I was born to live here but make heaven my home

I was born to praise Jesus with all of my heart

I was born to serve Him and to do my part

 

Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder why

The God of the Heavens would come here to die

When I think of the mercy and grace He displayed

I can’t help but worship His wonderful name

 

Born again – He gave me new life

Born again – the old man must die

Born again – by the power of His hand

Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again

What is Your Passion

2 Replies

Our world has turned love

Into lust

And it is called passion

But passion is so much more

More than lust

More than emotion

More than a desire or need

Passion is what you pour your heart into

Your life into

Your soul  into

Your mind into

Your strength into

The Word says

Love the Lord your God

with all your heart

And all your mind

And all your soul

And all your strength

In other words

Be passionate about Jesus

Once upon a time I was a sinner
Caught up in a world of shame
I didn’t have much hope
And I really couldn’t cope
With the fact that I just could not change

Then I heard about a man named Jesus
They said He was the only Son of God
Because of His great love
He came down from above 
And sacrificed His life upon a cross

They told me if I’d just accept His mercy
And ask Him to come in my heart
He’d wipe away my sin
And give me peace within
And I would have a brand new start

I cried out and I asked Him to forgive me
And told Him I would make Him Lord
And now I have new life
‘Cause Jesus made things right 
I’ll live hap’ly ever after evermore 

Precious Gifts

1 Reply

When I came to Jesus and asked Him to save

I knew I had little to give

He took what I had, and washed it away

And gave in return precious gifts

 

I gave Him my sorrows for all of the things

That I never seem to do right

He gave me His joy, unspeakable joy

Oh what a sheer delight

 

I gave Him my troubles, and many they were

They compass me every day

He gave me His peace, a peace so complete

Too wonderful to explain

 

I gave Him my doubts, and the fears in my life

They buried me in deep despair

He gave me His faith, so that mountains would move

If I’d call to Him in prayer

 

I gave Him my hurts, my aches and my pains

It seems they’re new every day

He gave me His healing, complete and secure

He heals me in every way

 

I gave Him my thoughts that the future was bleak

That nothing was there in the end

He gave me His hope, eternally sure

Now I know I will see Him again

 

I gave Him my life and my heart and my soul

It seemed I had messed them all up

He gave me salvation, and new life began

I’m free from all that can corrupt

 

These precious gifts, and so many more,

His mercy and grace has supplied

I just go to Him, and lay them all down

And He gives to me a new lfe.

Far From a Winner

It may seem irrational

Or even quite radical

That one man could make such a change

But I’m here to tell you

That this change is quite true

Through Jesus life was rearranged

 

From a dirty, ugly sinner

I was far from a winner

When I found out that He really loved me

I asked Him to come in

My life was cleansed from sin

And now I know He’ll meet all of my needs

 

So if you need a change

And life needs rearranged

Why don’t you cry to Jesus Christ today

He’ll gladly save your soul

And make your spirit Whole

Then guide you as you travel in His way

I Praise You Jesus

I set my eyes on you this morning

My gaze was looking for the light

The morning came upon me quickly

And now the dawn has taken flight

 

I rose out of bed and looked up

Toward the heavens high above

Then I stretched my hands above me

And I started shouting out

 

I praise you Jesus

For this day you’ve given me

I praise you Jesus

Foe the breath inside of me

I praise you Jesus

You have granted me just one more day

 

I praise you Jesus

My eyes are open wide

I praise you Jesus

You are always by my side

I praise you Jesus

For the gift of life you send my way

 

There’s nothing that can keep me

From lifting up your name

No matter what this day brings

You are still the same

 

My wonderful redeemer

My Savior and my friend

You have my life in your hands

You’ll keep me ‘til the end

 

I praise you Jesus

For this day you’ve given me

I praise you Jesus

Foe the breath inside of me

You have granted me just one more day

You are always by my side

I praise you Jesus

For the gift of life you send my way

Where peace always Flows

And sadness is claiming your day

I cannot help but wonder
How he came to love me so
And I cannot imagine
How his love I came to know

So is it any wonder
That I lift His name in praise
He’s more than I imagined
His worship fills my days

Oh how amazing is His love for me
He came to save me, and set me free
I am in awe of His sweet grace
I cannot wait to see His face

I cannot help but wonder
Why He left His throne above
And I cannot imagine
Why He’d die to show His love

So is it any wonder
That I give my life to Him
He’s more than I imagined
That is why His praise I sing

My wonderful redeemer will soon return for me

And take me home to heaven where His I’ll always be

All pain and sorrow He’ll erase and death will be no more

I cannot wait to see His face

The one that I adore

Oh how amazing is His love for me
He came to save me, and set me free
I am in awe of His sweet grace
I cannot wait to see His face
Oh how amazing is His great love for me
