All That You Need

Leave a reply

There is hope for you

In your time of need

Just reach out to Him

And you’ll see

 

There is peace for

When confusion reigns

Just focus on Him

And you’ll gain

 

There is healing for you

When you feel ill

Just wait upon God

And be still

 

All that you need

All that you long for

You’ll find in Jesus hand

Just follow His lead

That’s found in the word

And you’ll be right in His plan

 

There is joy for you

When sorrow looms large

Just lean on the Lord

He’ll take charge

 

There is grace for you

When your feeling down

Just fall on your face

At His throne

 

There is mercy for you

When you’ve failed again

Just ask forgiveness

You’ll gain

 

All that you need

All that you long for

You’ll find in Jesus hand

Just follow His lead

That’s found in the word

And you’ll be right in His plan

 

There is love for you

When you feel alone

Just cry our to Him

And you’re home

 

There is faith for you

When your doubts arise

Just trust, in the Lord

You’ll survive

 

All that you need

All that you long for

You’ll find in Jesus hand

Just follow His lead

That’s found in the word

And you’ll be right in His plan

In Wonderland she walked

Trying to find her way

Alice wasn’t sure

If she really should stay

 

Then she saw a funny thing

A moon eclipse she thought it was

But when it was revealed

A Cheshire cat smile as the cause

 

The cat was full of joy

And funny little tricks

He made himself invisible

Except his smile and licks

 

As we go through this life of ours

It seems joy can be fleeting

But the joy of the Lord will never cease

It’s abundance is relieving

 

So make your joy be in the Lord

And not in earthly things

And you w ll see how it endures

When earthly joy is fleeing

When I’ve lost my direction
In this crazy old world
I’m reluctant to ask for some help
I think it’s a reflection
That I’m not self-assured
And it makes me feel very inept

But I can’t have this attitude
In my walk with the Lord
When I find I am losing my way
I will have more gratitude
If i look to His word
And find how He tells me to pray

He says first I must ask Him
When I’ve come to stray
Whether knowledge or wisdom I need
And He says that He’ll give
And show me the way
To find the next step in my plea

Next is to seek out
His will for my life
In the situation I’ve fallen in
Then I can figure out
The escape from my strife
And find the path destined to win

Last I must knock
At the door I come to
It shall open to me on its own
The door is unlocked
And it opens to view
The answer that He will make known

Now all that sounds simple
And easy to do
But there’s one trick you need to remember
The asking and seeking
And knocking you do
Must be done ’til you’re led to the answer

He always leads to the answer

He always answers your plea
It’s the waiting and watching that’s hard to do
So ask ’til your heart is set free
And seek ’til you see
And knock “til you reach the door.

Sharing Grace

My hometown is real pretty

With streets set up in squares

And it’s easy to walk through

With sidewalks everywhere

 

I kius happened to be walking

Down a sidewalk yesterday

When I meet a man that limped

And was obviously in pain

 

I asked if I could pray for Him

That God would Heal his leg

He told me that would be great

So I took His hand and prayed

 

I saw a tear come down his face

As I finished up my words

He said thank you so  very much

I know your prayer was heard

 

We went out on our merry way

A smile broke on our face

A joy filled up my peaceful heart

I was glad I shared His grace

That Precious Name

Precious are you Lord, precious to me

More precious than silver, or gold or rubies

Dearer to me than anything

Precious are you Lord

 

Holy are you Lord, Holy indeed

Purer than anything this world can bring

Loving and Justin all your decrees

Holy are you Lord

 

So I will shout from the mountaintop

Praise the name of Jesus

I will sing with all I’ve got

Praise the name of Jesus

Worthy of my worship

Worthy of my heart

Praise the name, the precious name of Jesus

 

Merciful are you, my merciful Lord

Your mercy has reached out and pardoned me

From all of my sin and all my disease

Merciful are you Lord

 

Gracious are you Lord, gracious to me

Your grace extended to Calvary

You give more than I deserve unto me

Gracious are you Lord

 

He never stops loving me, never stops healing me

Never stops leading me through this earthly life

Never leaves me lonely, never strays away

He’s always right here by my side

And He has a plan for me, a plan to prosper me

I will trust Him always.  My life in in His hand

Even through the trials, even through the tests

I will rest in Him each day, my peace is His command

 

So I will shout from the mountaintop

Praise the name of Jesus

I will sing with all I’ve got

Praise the name of Jesus

Worthy of my worship

Worthy of my heart

Praise the name, the precious name of Jesus

Heaven’s Song

4 Replies

It’s a song for the ages

Sung in heaven above

The angels sing it boldly

Telling of God’s love

 

The melody is beautiful

The chorus fills the skies

Cherubim and seraphim

Sing it as they fly

 

His love is so amazing

His love is so divine

It reaches down from heaven

And touches you and I

His Mercy

1 Reply

His mercy is powerful

Reaching down to me

Cleansing all my sin

And setting me free

 

His mercy is majestic

Soaring ‘bove the clouds

Placing all the stars

So they speak aloud

 

His mercy is much higher

Than anything I know

It fills up all of heaven

And all of earth below

 

His mercy is much richer

Than our diamonds or gold

It never runs out

And it never grows old

 

His mercy is purer

Than mountain streams that flow

It never fails to comfort

And His peace it will bestow

 

His mercy is enough today

To meet all of my needs

So I will give my praise to Him

Because He first loved me

It’s Coming Soon

It’s summer time now and it’s warm

But that will soon fade away

And the cool breeze of autumn will come

And the sun will shorten the day

 

Then winter will surely set in

And the cold north wind will come

Sending a shiver all over me

As I huddle and try to keep warm

 

But there is another shiver

That has me much more concerned

It’s the shiver of fright that people will feel

When Jesus our Lord will return

 

When the saints are all gathered together

And those left behind realize

That they are now in tribulation

As was promised in years gone by

 

If you have not met my Jesus

Now is the time to be saved

You too can avoid the shiver

That will come on that fateful day

How do I love you, Lord?

Let me try and count the ways

There are so many things I thank you for

And I give you all my praise

 

I love you as the creator

You gave us all that we see

You provided a world where we can live

Such a marvelous place to be

 

I love you as my provider

I have no need that you can meet

You watch out for me and care for me

Every day your grace is so sweet

 

I love you for you are my healer

When I’m hurt I can trust in you

I never should doubt or fear the result

For I know you will bring me through

 

I love you for all of the blessings

That flow out to me so many ways

I cannot begin to count all the times

You have touched me day to day

 

I love you for you are my Savior

You shed your blood to set me free

And you rose again to give eternal life

I’m in awe of your great mercy

 

There are so many ways I love you

For all the things that you’ve done

My praise will continue for all of my days

Because my victory you’ve won

 

But above all these things I love you

Just because of who you are

You are Lord of all Lords forever

I am constantly in awe

 

And I will lift my praises

No matter what life brings

Because you are seated in heaven

And are crowned King of all Kings

As I Am

Who knows where the waves take form and start out?

Who knows where they travel, or when they will stop?

Who knows how high or how far they will go?

Only the God I serve

 

Who knows where the clouds have taken their shape?

Of how big they’ll get, or when dissipate?

Who guilds them at morn and paints them at night?

Only the God I serve

 

Our God is amazing, He knows everything

From the depths of all nature to what makes birds sing

His wisdom is more than imaginable

And He loves me just as I am.

 

Who placed the stars and calls them by name?

Who has arranged them to show us His grace?

Who knows how for their light will stay bright?

Only the God I serve

 

Our God is incredible.  There’s no one like Him

He sits in the on His throne and controls everything

Yet He still takes the time to hear when I pray

And He loves me just as I am.

 

So I will lift up His praise to the sky

I’ll shout from the rooftops as others pass by

My God is the one who can transform your lives

And He loves you just as you are.
