For so many years I heard about Christ
And all he had done for me
Raised in the church every Sunday
Yet I slipped away late in my teens
For many years I wandered aimless
In denial of all I had learned
Until a good friend turned my heart strings
I accepted the Savior I’d spurned
Maybe today you deny Him
And all He has done by His grace
Accept Him today as your Savior
And one day you’ll see His face
In response to the daily prompt Denial
He gave up all His glory
To come to earth a lowly child
No pomp or royal feast announced His birth
His childhood was quiet
Though His parents knew His fate
They knew just who He was and His great worth
Then when the time was comes
That He should start to show Himself
He submitted to the baptizing of John
The heavens opened wide
A voice spoke loud and clear
God said Behold This is my beloved Son
For three years He did preach
And heal the sick and raise the dead
As He put the wisdom of the wise to shame
The people followed close
The leaders of that day sought ways
They could rid themselves of Him and all His fame
The plot against Him thickened
When He tore the leaders down
They determined It was time for Him to go
They riled up the crowds
They condemned Him in great haste
Urged the crowd to cry out Crucify Him now
He was whipped and beaten
Spit upon, a crown of thorns
Then they nailed His hands and feet to that tree
He cried Father God forgive them
As He bowed and gave His life
Taking all my sin and shame, He set me free
He was buried
Stone secured Him
The hope they had was dead
Then early Sabbath morning
The guards fainted in dread
The stone rolled away
He arose from that old grave
Victory forevermore
For His children, young and old
With all that I have in me
With every breath I take
I will lift my song of praise up to the Lord
His worship fills my heart
And flows out through my lips
Forever He’s the one that I adore
Some look to superstars
Some to the stars
Some look at history
Some look at wars
Heroes and Champions
Are different to all
Some are quite big
While other stand tall
But my Champion
Is none of those
When I sought victory
Jesus I chose
He won the battle
Of life evermore
By paying sins debt
Now He’s my Lord
In response to the daily prompt Champion
I can assure you
That God has a plan for you
Which will be better than yours
I know for certain
That His way is destined
To wipe away all of your tears
When you give in
And respond to His calling
He’ll guide you each step of the way
And when it gets hard
He’ll send in His mercy
To make your life better each day
Just like a watchmaker He has a plan
It has been designed just for you
He knows He design
He knows when it’s time
To work out His plan in you
When you seem to be broke
And you’re wondering why
Just put them in His loving hands
Don’t worry or fret
He knows what to do
To put you together again
A watchmaker knows how to fix His designs
He knows all the parts and their place
The watch’s design is no puzzle to him
His knows all about every piece
God’s your designer and He knows your life
He knows what the future will bring
Your trials are never a problem for Him
He knows how to lead you through things
Just like a watchmaker He has a plan
It has been designed just for you
He knows He design
He knows when it’s time
To work out His plan in you
You go your way I’ll go mine
Is a phrase we often hear
Some people think the path they take
Escapes God’s watchful ear
But He hears every word you say
He sees the things you do
When you decide to turn your back
He calls right out to you
If you are on the cusp today
Not knowing where too turn
Ask Jesus to come rescue you
For your heart He does yearn
In response to the daily prompt Cusp
I’m tired of being tired
I’m sick of being sick
I’ll lift the name of Jesus in a song
But while I sit here waiting
For good health to return
I’ll lift the name of Jesus in a song
You wonder why I praise Him
When things are not so right
When He allowed this sickness in my life
The answer is so simple
It’s not hard to understand
When you think of all He’s done for me through time
He has loved me
He has saved me
He has healed me
He will raise me
He removed my sin and promised me new life
He delivered me
He’s been merciful to me
I will praise Him every day of my life
Now even when I suffer
When my life seems out of place
I do not forget what he has done for me
In the midst of any trial
I can raise my voice and sing
Hallelujah to my soon and coming King
His promises are true
His love is everlasting
His grace will cover all my foolishness
His mercy never fails me
His peace is inn my heart
His joy unspeakable flows endlessly
He has loved me
He has saved me
He has healed me
He will raise me
He removed my sin and promised me new life
He delivered me
He’s been merciful to me
I will praise Him every day of my life

So many people are often so blind
They have no idea what they leave behind
I know in my life, I’ll be prudent and kind
Leaving positive things for others to find
Words of encouragement will often flow
Deeds that are helpful often will show
Helping them in their desire to grow
We all need Jesus to love and to know
In response to the daily prompt Prudent
I lift my heart

Above all names

Wonderful, oh so wonderful
Jesus Lamb of God
Came to save the world

What a friend I have in you
I cannot remember the last time I ran
My body is older and larger
There is no doubt
That running is out
It’s too hard on my feet and my arches
But I do run to Jesus when troubles arise
And He gives a pause that refreshes
He inclines His ear
My prayers He does hear
And blesses me with His good answers
In response to the daily prompt Pause
I give you praise
For morning sun
For birds and bees
For rocks and trees

For all you’ve done for me
I give you praise
For fam’ly cheer
For daughters near
For soul mate dear
I give you praise
For all you’ve given me
I give you praise
For saving me
For keeping with
For loving me

For what you do for me
Every day
I give you praise

For who you are my Lord
I give you praise
The highest praise
I lift your name
Above all names
I give you praise
You are the King of Kings
The Psalmist
