Grace is Greater

2 Replies

I don’t know why He loves me, but He does

I don’t know why He saved me, but He did

He gave up all he had and left His throne above

To show His grace and mercy were enough

 

I don’t deserve His favor, but He gives

I don’t deserve His blessing, yet it rains

He treats me like His son who has finally come home

And tells me I will never be alone

 

His love is greater.

His love is deeper

His love is purer.

Than I have ever found

His grace is greater.

His grace is deeper

His grace is purer.

His mercy will abound

And when the final role is called

And my name is heard out loud

I will see Him as I cross the pearly gates

 

Now I know that by His stripes I’m healed

I know that He delivers, and sets me free

When trials come my way I know His loving hand

Will always guide me to His perfect plan

 

Now I know His power is so vast

He tells me He’s my strength, and it will last

I can depend on Him no matter what I face

To keep me in His sweet amazing grace

 

His love is greater.

His love is deeper

His love is purer.

Than I have ever found

His grace is greater.

His grace is deeper

His grave is purer

His mercy will abound

And when the final role is called

And my name is heard out loud

I will see Him as I cross the pearly gates

Songs From Above

Leave a reply

I sing my songs to Jesus.  Love songs just for Him

He purchased my salvation, so to Him my praise I bring

Songs of joy and gladness are in my heart today

He leads me by His truth and daily lights my way

 

I love the book of hymns that were written long ago

Amazing Grace, He’s Alive, It is Well With My Soul

I also like the new music so abundant out today

There’s a rising up in worship that I hope won’t go away

 

But more than anything I love the songs he gives to me

In middle of the night He opens up my eyes to sing

I sit down very calmly and he gives me every word

Then I put the rhythm to it, and His story is now heard

 

I’ll give you some examples of the words to these new songs

The melody you’ll have to guess, as a video I don’t have

I hope these words will touch your lives as they have touched mine

If nothing else I hope your blessed by the nice poetic rhyme

 

Song #1  I Want to Thank You Lord

 

I want to thank you, Lord, for your mercy in my life

I want to thank you Lord, for your great sacrifice

You have given me your all

Help me give my all to you

I want to thank you, Lord  (This part is sung three times)

 

You deserve the highest praise

You deserve the highest praise

You deserve the highest praise

My heart can give (This part is sung twice, then close with the first part)

 

Song #2  We Lift You Up

 

(softly and soulfully)

As we come into your presence

And we turn our hearts to you

We out aside our care if earthly things

We have come to seek your kingdom

And we long for righteousness

Precious Lord, we want to glorify your name

 

We lift you up, we lift you up

We lift you up, Oh Lord, and praise your holy name

We lift you up, we lift you up

Come and draw us near to you, we lift you up (back to top first time through)

 

(with much enthusiasm)

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord (Back to we lift you up, with gusto!)

 

There’s a few examples of the songs He’s given me

There are hundreds more He’s blessed me with

I hope He never stops waking me in dead of night

To share with me these love songs I can give

Magnificent

Two Great Gifts

Leave a reply

I’m awaiting His mercy this morning
With His sweet, gentle grace by its side
I know that I’ll need them throughout this day
As I live out my everyday life

I try to walk worthy of His name
Always doing the best that I can
This flesh that I live in still wants to be free
To do things that are not in His plan

When I find myself stepping the wrong way
And I’m tempted to keep going there
His mercy steps in to turn me around
And His grace says forgiveness is here

When my words become hurtful to others
Because of my passion and pride
I turn to His grace to help me explain
That this battle is deep down inside
And that only by grace can I conquer
The pride that I have in my life
So I ask them for mercy whenever my words
Are raising their level of strife

When I stumble back into my old ways
And the urge to keep going is strong
His mercy and grace rush in like a flood
To keep me from going along
And if I insist I’ll go deeper
Back into my past life of sin
He reminds me His grace and His mercy
Are there when I want to return

Oh wonderful is His mercy
How amazing is His grace
He did on the cross
At such a great loss
To put these great gifts in place

I can always depend on His mercy
And His grace always covers me
He died for my sin
And then rose again
So I’d be with a Him eternally

Mercy and Grace are amazing
And they’re gifts that He gives away
Let me never forget
To do my best
To give mercy and grace every day

After The Blessing

Leave a reply

After the blessing is over

After your song is gone

How do you act in the valley

When all is said and done?

 

When you are not on the mountain

But falling into the abyss

How do you lift yourself upward

And handle the times such as this?

 

There’s no better time to praise Him

For the mercy He’s shown to you

He never will leave you hopeless

He sees everything you do

 

He’ll walk through that valley with you

And pull you up from the abyss

So don’t be distraught or down hearted

He’s there for a time such as this

 

Remember He died for your sins

And He rose to give eternal life

The stripes on His back bring you healing

And His peace will forever abide

 

He gives you the air that you breath

And He waters the earth with His rain

The sun light is there at His pleasure

And He brings them again and again

 

There is no lacking in His sweet mercy

Or the grace that He shows you each day

So forget what you think of as blessings

The lesser things here are His way

 

And please never cease to praise Him

Even when through the valley you go

For your praises will lift up your spirit

More than you’ll ever know.
