Can You Sing Glory

Can you sing glory
Glory to the Lamb
Can you sing holy
Holy is the Lamb
Can you sing worthy
Worthy is the Lamb
Can you sing Righteous
Righteous is the Lamb

Can you sing mercy
Mercy is the Lamb
Can you sing gracious
Gracious is the Lamb
Can you sing faithful
Faithful is the Lamb
Can you sing Jesus
Jesus is the Lamb

Jesus, Savior
Lamb that was slain
Mighty is your word
Mighty is your name
Jesus, Jesus
Name above all names
Worthy of my highest and praise

He Comforts Me (Video)

This is the promised video recording of the song I wrote two day ago.  It i far from perfect, but it will give you an idea of what the melody sounded like in my head when He gave it to me early Thursday morning.

Safe and Sound

Perplexed is not the right word
To describe where I had been
Dazed and confused is closer
To really know my life of sin
I was puzzled trying to find a way
I could ever be clean within
Until I met the Savior of my soul

Jesus took perplexity
And turned it into joy
Dazed He tuned to peace
Confused was not my hope
My puzzled days were over
When His love took over me
Now I’m safe and sound for all to see.

 

In response to the daily prompt Puzzled

The Culture of Peace Love and Dope

I wish it was different in our world today
I wish people had more respect
But this will not be
As long as we see
A culture profuse with neglect

Neglect of accountability
Neglect of respect for the law
Not knowing what’s right
Not having the light
No care for morality

We seem to have lost our way somewhere
In the culture of peace love and dope
Now true joy is gone
Real peace never dawns
Most people have lost all their hope

But there is a hope that is sure
One that never will fail to win
Just turn to the one
Who’s Gods only Son
All you need can be found in Him

 

In response to the daily prompt Profuse

He Comforts Me

His perfect love
Is casting out
The fear inside
That comes with doubt

His bubbling joy
Has overcome
The sorrow felt
By hurtful ones

He comforts me
He comforts me
His watchful eye stays fixed on me
When I am weak
His strength I see
His loving hands take hold of me

His calming peace
Has overwhelmed
The roaring storm
That I had felt

His blissful hope
Is filling me
With thoughts of life
He’s all I need

And when the shadows block the sunshine
And my day turns into night
He parts the clouds and brings a rainbow
To let me know all things are right

He comforts me
He comforts me
His watchful eye stays fixed on me
When I am week
His strength I see
His loving hands take hold of me me

His blissful hope
Is filling me
With thoughts of life
He’s all I need

 

I will be recording this soon. Watch for it.

So Should I

I have seen His brilliant sunrise
I have seen the heavens glow
I have seen the shooting star fly through the sky
I have seen the tow’ring storm clouds
I have seen the lightning flash
I have seen the brilliant stars shine in the night

All creation shows His glory
All creation shows His beauty
All creation sings His praises
So should I
So should I

I have heard the songbirds singing
I have heard the leaves in gales
I have heard the north wind blowing in the night
I have heard the sleet and hail
I have heard the babbling brook
I have heard the thunder roar it’s sounds of fright

All creation shows His glory
All creation shows His beauty
All creation sings His praises
So should I
So should I

I will show the world His glory
By the life I live each day
I will tell them of His mercy
By my words and by my ways
I will lift the name of Jesus
As creation does each day
He is worthy or my worship
He is worthy of my praise

All creation shows His glory
All creation shows His beauty
All creation sings His praises
So should I
So should I

Catch That Flight

Running through the airport
MIddle of the night
Jump on the conveyor
Have to catch a flight

My time is a wasting
The gate has opened wide
Arriving there in time
I sit and breathe a sigh

Another flight is coming
To take us all away
Jesus will return
Are you ready for that day

The conveyor of all truth
He said to trust in Him
Ask Him for forgiveness
Make Him Lord within

Don’t be in the position
That you haven”t bowed and prayed
To make Him Lord and Savior
Before the final day

in response to the daily prompt Conveyor

Our Deepest Need

If I had three million wishes
The very first would be
That everyone would be aware
Of their deepest need

For years I filled this need myself
With things not good for me
It led me to a troubled life
But never filled that need

Deep inside each one of us
There is a cavity
We try to fill it up ourselves
With things that we can see

I came to realize the fact
That God must fill this need
To worship Christ and Him alone
While bowing to our knees

If you have tried to no avail
To fill that void inside
Ask Jesus to forgive you now
And gain eternal life

Safe in His arms

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Jesus Lamb of God
Meek and mild
Calls to His child

Worthy of praise
Now and always
Come
Come
