What Can I Offer You

5 Replies

What can I offer you Lord of my life?

All that I have is my praise sacrifice.

No matter the mood, or whatever the pain

I’ll still take the time to lift up your name

 

Praise the Lord.  He is worthy of praise

Praise the Lord all of my days

I will lift up His name

His wonderful name

Praise the Lord

 

How can I thank you oh Lord of my days?

You have given me all that I have by your grace.

I can only give thanks with the fruit of my lips

And I offer my life in thanks for your gifts

 

Thank you Lord.  You are worthy of praise

Thank you Lord all of my days

I will lift up His name

His wonderful name

Thank you Lord

 

You are the one that I long for

You are the one I adore

You are the one who saved me

And I’ll praise your name evermore

 

What can I do for you, Lord of all time?

How can I show that your love still abides?

All I can do is tell others around me

That your love is theirs if they’ll only believe

 

Praise the Lord.  He is worthy of praise

Praise the Lord all of my days

I will lift up His name

His wonderful name

Praise the Lord

Reflection

6 Replies

I look up at the moon and am amazed

At how it reflects the sun

different every day

Sometimes it is full and bright

And other days completely gone

Some days it shows a smile

And other days a frown

 

And I wonder, and ask myself

Is this how I reflect the Son, Jesus Christ?

Some days I shine His light bright

But other days people wonder

If  really am a Christian?

Do I  some days have a bright smile

And other days seem down and out?

 

If my desire is to win souls

and bring in the harvest

I must shine the light of Christ brightly

In every situation.

He is in control of my life

So nothing can go wrong

That He is not prepared for

and will see me through

 

Unlike the moon

which has no say in how it will reflect the sun

I can decide how I will reflect the Son

Help me Lord to shine brightly

So others will be attracted to the light

And give you the glory

The Greatest Love Song

Leave a reply

I don’t think I will ever see

A love song start this way

When He gave up all of heavens praise

To come here as a babe

 

I don’t think I will ever know

A child who was so meek

He worked those years in Fathers shop

When He knew who He would be

 

Then the love song picks up tempo

As He’s baptized with such grace

The Holy Spirit declares His name

And He starts to show His face

 

Then He teaches for the next 3 years

The people flock to see Him

He brings healing and deliverance

And sets His fire within

 

But the love song takes a bitter tone

As the leaders plot against Him

And with the help of one of His own

They take Him and arrest Him

 

The music is so melancholy

As the crowd cries crucify

And they beat Him, mock Him, scourge Him

And nail Him up so high

 

But this is where the love song shows

His deepest love for me

As He cries out from the cross “Forgive”

And from sin He sets me free

 

And even though he bows His head

And dies at Calvary

The love song doesn’t end right there

One last stanza’s meant for me

 

For in three days He rose again

His spirit won’t depart

His love will keep Him at our side

As He lives inside our heart

 

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus

Oh the beauty of His plan

He has given all for me

Now He holds me in His hand

Oh the precious song He’s written

With His life so full of love

Tis the greatest love song written

Coming down from heaven above

Get Busy

“What is your will, Lord” I asked Him today
As I knelt down this morning and started to pray
I want to know that I’ll walk in your way
For all the days of my life

“My will is that all will come to know me
Go into all of the world is my plea
Preaching the gospel and setting them free
My will has never changed ”

I bowed my head as I knew I’d done less
I hadn’t been doing His work to my best
And still He had seen that my life was blessed
I praised Him for His sweet grace

He said “Son, I am pleased with your life at this time

You have done a great work, many souls are now mine

Never believe that your light has not shined

Your testimony is sure”

 

“But I know there’s so much more I can do

To bring others along so they can know you

And save them from lives of eternal doom

Why have I been so laid back?”

 

I heard Him smile as He said “That is past

Remember the future is mine, and it lasts

So start today and give me your best

Get busy and preach the word”

 

Lack of confusion

Leave a reply

I am not one to boast or brag

I used to and life was such a drag

I thought I knew just about everything

And I let people know it with plenty of zing

 

But one da y I learned that I was confused

About what was important when life is diffused

It’s now what I know in my head that stands tall

It’s what’s in my heart that matters at all

 

So now I am quieter day after day

I realize I don’t really know what to say

Except to say Jesus is really the way

To end your confusion today

Only in You

3 Replies

Only in you am I free, Lord

From all the sin in my life

You paid the price for my freedom

You became my sacrifice

 

Only in you is there peace, Lord

For my whole mind and soul

Even in times of trouble

You make my heart feel whole

 

Only in you is there joy, Lord

Not just a happy, cool place

You bring a blessing within me

That nobody can displace

 

Only in you is there love, Lord

Not just the lust of this world

You showed us your  compassion

And you taught us in your blessed Word

 

Only in you I reach heaven

You paved he way when you rose

Now I will live forever

Becuase it’s you I chose

 

 

Special to God

Leave a reply

I can’t imagine

A world without horses

Or dogs and cats

Or sharks and bass

I can’t imagine

A world without oceans

or rivers and streams

Or ponds and lakes

I can’t imagine

A sky without stars

Or sun and moon

Or clouds

All these things that God created

By His spoken word

For our pleasure

He provided for us before he even created us

Before He formed us from the dust of the earth

Before He breathed into us the breath of life

He formed us with His hands

All other things were spoken into existence

He still holds us in the palm of His hand

And He loves us above all His creation

We are special to God

You are special to God

All is Well

It is well with my spirit
It is well with my Lord
I’ve been washed in the blood
I have been restored
A home in heaven
Will be my reward
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

It is well with my body
I am healed throughout
By the stripes on his back
Healing came about
And each day when I wake up
I will sing and shout
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

It is well in my mind
There’s no doubt or fear
For the thorns on His brow
Left His peace in there
And the faith I now have
Gives me cause to cheer
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

All is we all the time
When I have His grace
All is well all the time
When His mercy reigns
I can’t wait for the day
When I see His face
I’m in love,  I’m in love
With my Lord

It is well with my life
Since the day I prayed
Asking Jesus to hear me
So that I’d be saved
Now I know He is with me
Each and every day
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

 

All is well, all is well
With my Lord all the time
He has given me love
He has given me live
I will follow Him
All the days if my life
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

Child of the King

Leave a reply

Only through Christ the blessings flow

Only through Christ will I ever know

The promise from Heaven He bestows

To all who call on His name

 

He bought me at such a great price

By becoming my precious sacrifice

Paying the debt of sin in my life

So that now I am redeemed

 

His blood wiped away all my sin

Now God will never bring it up again

It’s just as if I’d never sinned

Justified by His blood

 

No longer will sickness rule in my life

Because I am healed by the horrible stripes

Now I claim victory when evils rise

Delivered from pain and disease

 

My mind is now free from doubt and fear

The thorns that he wore brought a covering here

Now I can now he will always be near

Peace and Joy flood my life today

 

He opened the way to heaven for me

He calls me His son, and He says I am free

He sets me apart because I believed

Sanctified through the cross

 

He’s there for me in good times or bad

Giving me guidance that I never had

His Holy Spirit shows me His plan

To prosper my life every day

 

From now on I’ll praise Him with all of my heart

I’ll sing out my worship, I’ll never depart

His precious love has set me apart

I am a child of the King
