God Covered It

Leave a reply
God formed man from dust
Breathed life into him
And when he chose to disobey
God covered it
God asked Abram to obey
By giving his own Son
When God saw he’d follow through
God covered it
David had Uriah killed
Just to take His wife
When Nathan pointed out his sin
God covered it
Man has sinned throughout time
He prefers to disobey
But when his cry goes out to God
God covers it
Finally God saw that man
Would never get it right
So He set His plan in motion
A covering for all time
Because God So loved to world
He sent His only son
To die upon across
To cover all my wrong
So now when I do wrong
And disobey His law
I look up to that cross
And God covers it all

A word to my friends

I know that I have been kind of quiet lately. As some of you know I am undergoing cancer treatments. I had a stem cell transplant on the 13th in the last 4 days have been a little difficult.

However I am glad to say thank God has been very merciful to me and I am on the mend. They’re telling me right now that I should be going home either Tuesday or Wednesday next week. I praise God for his healing power and his great love for me.

I want to thank those of you I have been praying for me. There is nothing more powerful and be assured that your prayers have been answered. I look forward to rejoining the blogging community soon.  It’s a place I have found great comfort in during this time

I Need Jesus

I need Jesus
More today than yesterday
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today
I need Jesus
When life takes a turn
And I can’t discern
The path to return
I need Jesus
When sorrow arrives
And I want to hide
From sadness in life
I need Jesus
When peace can’t be found
And troubles abound
And chaos is loud
I need Jesus
When joy goes away
And I have dismal days
When every smile fades
I need Jesus
And every time I call on Him
He’s swiftly by my side
Bringing His sweet mercy and His grace
I know I can depend on Him
To constantly abide
He always gets me back to the right place
My need for Him is more than life
It’s more than breath or blood
My need for Him is deep inside my heart
So give me Jesus every time
The storms of life get rough
And every time He’ll give me a fresh start
I need Jesus
More to today than yesterday
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today
I need Jesus

My Heavenly Father

Leave a reply

I once had a Father on earth

Who I barely knew at all

He left us when I was young

And He hardly ever called

 

We would get a gift at Christmas

And a visit here and there

But through time I grew bitter

And didn’t even care.

 

The anger inside grew mighty

As I reached my teenage years

I got into things angered my mom

And had her often in tears

 

I could not find my way through life

I struggled just to survive

The time had to come to turn around

Or I might take my life

 

Then a friend from a long time ago

Came and told me a story I knew

But He told it in such a different way

I listened and heard the truth

 

I have a heavenly Father

Who loves me very much

A heavenly Father up above

Who came my heart to touch

 

He gave His own son

To die in my place

And covered my sin

With amazing grace

 

His mercy is greater

Than all my shame

He’ll live in my heart

And call me by name

 

And one day he’ll come

And take me home

To a life everlasting

Around His throne

 

I love my heavenly Father

He takes care of all my needs

My heavenly Father

He’ll always be there for me

 

Love Inescapable

Hard times hit us all
Even happy people fell
Even we have days that cause us harm
But when we get real low
We know just where to go
Back to our Father’s loving arms
He holds His arms out wide
He’s ever at my side
He’s there to pick me up when I fall down
And if I bruise my soul
He heals me ’til I’m whole
And sets my feet on solid ground
He loves me
More than anything
He loves me
So amazing
He loves me
Even when my love grows cold
He loves me
Through my troubled days
He loves me
When I’ve lost my way
He loves me
I cannot escape His love
His grace will cover me
Whenever I’m in need
His blessings come in every size and shape
His mercy overflows
My selfish, prideful soul
And helps those things to quietly escape
His sweet perfection slides
Into this heart of mine
Without me even knowing it’s His hand
And then one day I see
His humility in me
And I realize that this is what He planned
He loves me
He fills me with joy
He loves me
His peace is employed
He loves me
More than I can ever know
He loves me
I will sing His prsise
He loves me
I’ll worship His sweet name
He loves me
I cannot escape His love

 

Again

Leave a reply
Today the Lord had mercy on me
He kept away the enemy
And reminded me that I’m set free
Again
Today the Lord has blessed me much
All day I felt His spirits touch
His presence was around so much
Again
Today His grace filled me with peace
He gave my soul a sweet release
All day I felt calm and at ease
Again
Again and again He’s there for me
He always meets me at me need
He listens to my prayerful pleas
Again, and again, and again
Today He flooded me with love
As vast as all the stars above
And I can know that it will come
Again
Again His mercy will be mine
Again His blessing He’ll assign
Again He’ll give me grace each time
Again
But high above all these great things
The greatest gift that He does bring
Is His great love, of that I’ll sing

 

Again, and again and again

High Above

Leave a reply
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me
He sends His mercy to my side
Each time I trip and fall
Such mercy is too much for me
I don’t deserve it all
His grace pours blessing in my life
That overwhelms my soul
I can’t contain the gratitude
That He has made me whole
But greatest of the gifts He shows
Is His great love for me
He gave His life upon a cross
That day at Calvary
This love is so amazing
So wonderful and strong
That every moment I’m awake
I sing my worship song
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me

No More Struggling

Struggle  Written in response to the Daily Prompt

I used to blame God for my hardships

It seems He was out to get me

I wandered in drugs and  some drinking

And thought He’d abandoned me

 

But one day I turned toward His mercy

And I asked Him to enter my life

I can still remember His answer to me

As He walked in and opened my eyes

 

He said my struggle was not against Him

But against my own sinful heart

But now that I had Him walking with me

The path would not be so hard

 

He said He’d walk with me every day

And help me with anything hard

So I smiled and I took hold  of His hand

And my struggles all seemed to depart
