Wondrous Grace

Leave a reply

Your grace amazes me

It’s all I think about

For when I was a sinner

You turned my life around

 

I was lost and hopeless

My days filled with despair

But then your grace came flooding in

Forgiveness found me there

 

I knelt down at the altar

And asked you to come in

Your grace was there to meet me

And take away my sin

 

Oh, the wondrous grace of Jesus

More than I could ever dream

Just keeps giving me His blessings

Undeserved He gives to me

 

Every time I fail Him

I come to Him in tears

His grace is there to meet me

And take away my fears

 

And when I’m having troubles

And can’t find the way out

His grace comes in and rescues me

And takes away all doubt

 

Oh, the wondrous grace of Jesus

More than I could ever dream

Just keeps giving me His blessings

Undeserved He gives to me

 

I will lift my voice in praise

To His glorious name

Worship Him with all I am

For His wondrous grace

Beyond Belief

Leave a reply

I must say it is not true

That you can save yourself

 

If Jesus isn’t Lord

Then you’ll wind up in hell

But it’s also no hyperbole

It’s a fact that brings relief

That life in Jesus Christ

Is blessed beyond belief

Praising Through the Pain

4 Replies

Is anyone awake out there?

Can anybody hear?

I sure could use a friend right now

To talk to through my tears.

 

My back is aching once again

I cannot sleep at all

I took a pain pill hour ago

And I’m afraid I’ll fall

 

Oh, my God, where are you?

Can you hear my cry?

Why won’t you deliver me?

Why won’t pain subside?

 

My feet are aching also

It hurts me just to stand

And when I try to walk somewhere

The drop foot seems to land.

 

The walker helps to get up

And get into my chair

And that is where I sit right now

Not going anywhere

 

Oh, God, I’m crying out to you

Please heal these pains of mine

I need to know you hear me now

I need you at this time

 

I will lift my voice in praise

To you, my precious Lord

For you have done so much for me

A fact I can’t ignore

 

I thank you for your mercy

And I ask you now for more

But even if you leave me here

I’ll worship you, my Lord

 

I lift your name up high right now

Your glory I proclaim

Your worthy of my worship Lord

Even if my pain remains.

The Vine

Lord feed me wisdom
That I might see
All the injustice
That’s all around me
All of the heartache
All of the pain
All of the suffering
All the disdain
Feed me a heart
That will reach out in love
And touch all the broken
So they’ll know your love

Lord feed me courage
That I might know
How to change doubt
Into faith that shows
All of the fear
All of the worry
All of the sorrow
All of the hurry
Feed me the strength
To open their eyes
And lead them to you, Lord
So faith will arise

You are the vine
I am the branch
Fill me with love
Give me a chance
To bear you much fruit
As I follow your plan
Tend to my life
With your loving hand

Feed me compassion
So others  may see
Your love for them, Lord
Through the life that I lead
All of the joy
All of the peace
All of the grace
All the mercy
Feed me with life
In all that I do
So I can successfully
Lead them to you

And all of the fruit I bear dear Lord

I owe it all to you

It is your loving hand that prunes the branch

To make it bear more fruit

So do with me what you will, dear Lord

To shape and mold this branch

No matter the trial or test that comes

My life it will enhance

You are the vine
I am the branch
Fill me with love
Give me a chance
To bear you much fruit
As I follow your plan
Tend to my life
With your loving hand

He Endured For Me

It was not a pretty sight

In Jerusalem  that day

As they bludgeoned my Jesus

With cat-o-nine tails

 

Blood all around

Crown of thorrns on  His  head

Then up to Golgotha

Nails in His feet and hands

 

He endured it all

To wash away my sin

From the cross He cried out

Father forgive them

 

And the Father looked down

And saw His one Son

Ands forgave every sin

For all who choose Him

I can’t imagine what it took

For God to give His Son

No other god would even think 

Of what our God has done 

He didn’t copycat His plan

To set the captive free 

He planned it from the very start

To save a wretch like me.

Praise in the Night

​In the middle of the night

With my back in pain
I cry to the Lord
Heal me again
But it seems like my words 
Are said in vain 
Oh Lord won’t you hear my prayer

Then my enemy
Speaks into my ear 
Don’t you know He sleeps 
And He cannot hear
Just forget your god 
And cry your tears
Your God doesn’t really care

But I turn my head
And I shut him out
I don’t need his words
That are full of doubt
I know just the thing 
To turn this about
I’ll just start to praise the Lord

How I love you Lord
For your mercy reigns 
You have healed before 
And will heal again
I adore you Lord
And I praise your name 
What an awesome God I serve

He is full of love
And majesty 
He is stronger than 
My enemy
He will not allow me
To see defeat
His victory’s coming soon

Now I lay my head
Back down to sleep
For I know my God
My soul will keep 
He’s my solid rock 
And He’ll always be
The Lord who will comfort me.

How I love you Lord
For your mercy reigns 
You have healed before 
And will heal again
I adore you Lord
And I praise your name 
What an awesome God I serve
