Promises

Leave a reply

You have promised in your word you’ll always be there
To hold me in your arms when I am down
You have promised that you never will forsake me
When I’m lost your grace I’ve found

You have promised that you’d heal all my diseases
You will take away the pain I feel inside
You have promised that your joy will overwhelm me
That your peace always abides

You have promised that I am a new creation
My old life passed away when I met you
You have promised you would guide my every movement
All my ways I give to you

You have promised you will break the chains that bind me
When I put my trust in you I am set free
You have promised I’ll be filled with your sweet Spirit
He will dwell inside of me

I will stand upon the promises you gave me
In your Word I will find the words you gave
I will trust you with my life and all my future
For I know that you’re the one who gave me grace

Sweeter than the honey from the comb
Purer than the water from the rain
Truer than whatever this world gives me
Your promises are mine to gain

Praise and Worship

At Your Name

Leave a reply

At your name the lame man walked
At your name the dumb man talked
At your name many were shocked
At your name
Your mighty name

At your name demons shall flee
At your name I’ve been set free
At your name I am redeemed
At your name
Your mighty name

CHORUS
All of heaven. All of earth
All creation shouts your worth
Let me lift my hands in Praise
Jesus Savior, at your name

At your name I am healed
At your name truth revealed
At your name love is real
At your name
Your mighty name

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Light of the world
My creator
Savior to all
My redeemer
Coming again
To take me home
Jesus Savior
I am yours

CHORUS

Safely Back to You

Leave a reply

I was lost on the waves of the storms of life
Being tossed all about feeling so uptight
Hope was lost that I’d ever turn upright
Suddenly He came to me

Called my name out loud through the whirling wind
I had heard that voice so I knew it was Him
I stepped out of the boat and I walked to Him
Walking high above the waves

When I looked out on the wind and waves
I began to sink ‘neath the water ways
He reached out His hand and I found His gaze
Looking deep inside my heart

He brought me back to the storm tossed boat
That He calmed the sea set us back afloat
Suddenly a calm came into my soul
I knew all would be all right

Oh sweet Jesus take my hand
Help me please to understand
Why these storms keep tossing me
Off the path you have for me
Of sweet Jesus guide my way
Stay close by my side each day
When I’ve fallen off the path
Bring me safely back to you

To Die For Us

Leave a reply

What a light
What a light so bright
Came down to us
To die for us

What a child
What a lowly child
Came down to us
To die for us

King of glory
Lord of all things
We come now to bow before you
God of wonder
Radiant splendor
You have given us your son

What a day
He went to the grave
Three days later He arose
He came to save us

King of glory
Lord of all things
We come now to bow before you
God of wonder
Radiant splendor
You have given us your son

To redeem us
To restore us
To return us back to you

King of glory
Lord of all things
We come now to bow before you
God of wonder
Radiant splendor
You have given us your son

Great is Your Name

Leave a reply

I can’t believe
That you loved me
In spite of my sin and my shame
When I was lost
You paid the cost
Since then I am not the same

I’m no longer dead
Your word I have read
Your truth has given me life
Now I will rejoice
I’ll lift up my voice
I’ll give you my praise sacrifice

Worthy, you are worthy
Holy, you are holy
Righteous, you are righteous
Lord of my life
King of my days
Worthy, you are worthy
Holy, you are holy
Jesus, you are Jesus
Great is your name
Great is your name

The Splendor of Your Spirit

Beauty all around me
Everywhere I see
Mercy overwhelming
Grace that blesses me

Peace is like a river
Joy flows up within
Love is like an ocean
Cleansing me from sin

Oh the glory
Of your presence
Everywhere I look
You are always there
Oh the splendor
Of your Spirit
Guiding me
Saving me
Hiding me
Surrounding me
With your love

Into the Wilderness

Leave a reply

This is an old song I wrote from 2012. I felt the Holy Spirit telling me to post it this morning. I pray it blesses you.

My life is filled with ups and downs trying to find my way around
In a world that keeps me guessing everyday
And when I pray I just don’t know if the answer’s coming slow
Or if he’s showing me his plan another way.

CHORUS
He leads me into the wilderness from the mountaintop
He rows me into the storm then he calms the sea
I don’t need to know where he’s leading me or what he’s going to do
For I know that all he does is for my good

I will follow where he leads me
I will go when he says go
If he opens up a door I will walk through
And if he suddenly turns quiet and I cannot hear his voice
I will wait…..I will wait

CHORUS

END
I will wait. I will wait. I will wait on the Lord. I will wait

Words of Love

Leave a reply

When I stop and closely listen
When I calm the thoughts inside
When I take the time to be still
When my inner man I find

Then I hear His gentle voice
Speaking words of love to me
I just want to hear him more
So I ask the Lord to speak

He says
I love you
I bled for you
I died for you
I rise again
I walk with you
I hear your prayers
I know your needs
I’m everywhere

One He says these things I know
I must lift my hands in praise
For the blood he shed for me
I just worship His sweet name

Jesus, Jesus
How I love you so
Jesus, Jesus
I’m so glad I know you

He says
I love you
I bled for you
I died for you
I rise again
I walk with you
I hear your prayers
I know your needs
I’m everywhere

 

He Shows Up

Leave a reply

Though I’ve fallen once again on this journey
I’ve forgotten how to pick myself up
So I cry out to the Lord in my trouble
He shows up. He shows up

It’s amazing that in spite of my failure
He still loves me just the way I am
Every time I need a boost from my Savior
He shows up. He show up

CHORUS
He shows up when I am weary
He shows up when I am down
He shows up when I am reeling
In my fog of sin and doubt
He shows up and leans down to me
He shows up and lifts me out
When I cry out to the Lord
He shows up

I will do my best to follow in His ways
He has shown me what the best path is
I know that if I slip and fall again
He’ll show up. He’ll show up

CHORUS

BRIDGE
All I have to do is cry out to Him
All I have to do is say His name
He will come and lift me out of trouble
He will come to save the day

CHORUS
