This Night

2 Replies

This night is a holy night.
With the star shining brightly in the sky
Where the child lay
This night is a holy night.
For the spirit of God has come to stay
In a stable filled with hay.
It’s a Holy Night

This star is a holy star.
Shining so brightly in the sky
There to light the way
This star is a holy star.
Giving light to Mary’s newborn babe
He has come the world to save.
It’s a Holy Star.

All of heaven rejoices, singing hallelujah
Emmanuel has come to earth
Angels ring in His coming on this glorious day
The son of God has come to save

This child is a holy child.
The angels proclaim His lowly birth
To shepherds in the field
This child is a holy child.
Kings bearing gifts come from afar
And they kneel before the child.
He’s a Holy Child.

Lift up your voice and sing praise to the newborn king
Good will to man and peace on earth He brings
Join with the chorus as angels sing
Praises to the King. Sing praises to the King!

All of heaven rejoices, singing hallelujah
Emmanuel has come to earth
Angels ring in His coming on this glorious day
The son of God has come to save

A Simple Lesson

Leave a reply

There are times that I feel invincible
That no harm can come unto me
Then the enemy comes
He grabs me buy the arms
And the trials begin to surround me

It is then that I cry out to Jesus
I pray He will hear my voice
Then I hear Him say
I’ll show you the way
By calling you made the right choice

Suddenly it seems I am floating
In a sea of great joy and peace
In the midst of this test
He gives me His rest
My worry is transformed to ease

The lesson I share is quite simple
No matter the trouble you have
Just cry out to Him
Then you’ll always win
He will come and surround with His love

I lift up my voice in the midst of the day and I sing hallelujah
I lift up my voice in the midst of the fay and I sing praise the Lord
What a wonderful gift He has given to me
The gift of a language is wondrous and free

I lift up my hands to the King of all Kings and I sing hallelujah
I lift up my hands to the King of all Kings and I sing praise the Lord
What a wonderful gift He has given to me
My hands are my helpers through all mysteries
I lift up my hands to the King of all Kings and I sing hallelujah

I lift up my eyes hoping to see His face and I sing hallelujah
I lift up my eyes hoping to see His face and I sing hallelujah
What a wonderful gift He has given to me
My eyes make it possible all things to ser
I lift up my eyes hoping to see His face and I sing hallelujah

He Comes Whispering

Leave a reply

The business of life has got me down
I try to hear His voice but not a sound
Oh Lord please hear my plea
Come and speak to me
I need to hear your words clear and loud

Then all the world seems bent to swallow me
So bring myself to get down on my knees
Oh Lord I cannot bear
To be alone down here
Come and fill me once again I plead

He comes whispering
Not a loud and roaring cry
He comes whispering
Soft and gently He comes by
If I do not still my mind
I will miss this blessed time
When the Lord of all the earth
Comes whispering

The tears begin to well up in my eyes
As I know the Lord has come to hear my cry
He is faithful He is true
He will also come to you
Just be still and listen as he passes by

When He comes whispering
You must listen and be still
He comes whispering
This is no time to be filled
Empty out your heart and soul
Let Him fill you be made whole
When the Lord of all the earth
Comes whispering

The Wondrous Gift

Leave a reply

A brand new Christmas song. Words and video are here.

Oh, to see the light the shines in the darkness
Oh, to see the place where my Lord was born
Oh, to hear the angels sing their praises
On that blessed Christmas morn

Oh, to hear the baby cry in the manger
Oh, to see how Mary loved Him so
Oh, to see how Joseph held Him closely
On that blessed Christmas morn

CHORUS
I wish that I had been there
I wish that I had seen
The wondrous gift was given
For all the world to see
But He said it is greater
That I would still believe
For though I was not there that day
He came to die for me

Oh, I want to turn my face from His suff’ring
Oh, I want to turn my face from His pain
Oh, I want to hear Him cry forgive them
Oh, I want to see Him rise again
Oh, I want to see Him rise again

On that blessed Christmas born
The Son of God was born
To take away our sins
To make us free within
What a wondrous gift
What a wondrous gift
What a wondrous gift God gave

CHORUS

I Believe

1 Reply

I did not see the star that shone above so bright
I did not hear the innkeeper say there’s no room tonight
I did not see the shepherds or the wise men by His side
It’s written in His book so I believe

I did not hear Him teaching His gracious words of life
I did not see Him healing those who came to Him in strife
I did not seethe demons as they heard Him and took flight
It’s written in His book so I believe

CHORUS
I believe
I believe
With the faith that I was born with I believe
Though all may try to stop me
And take this faith from me
With all that is within me
I believe

I did not hear the crowds as they cried out crucify
I did not see Him hung with two thieves by His side
I did not hear Him fry out it is finished when he die
It’s written in the book so I believe

CHORUS

They laid Him in a tomb and sealed it with a stone
They guarded Him in death thinking He was all alone
But the grave could not hold Him
The stone could not contain Him
He rose up from the dead
I believe
I believe

CHORUS

All of the love that I have
All of the joy in my heart
All of the friends I adore
All of it comes from you

All of the day to day peace
All of the blessings untold
All of the wisdom revealed
All of it comes from you

So on this Thanksgiving Day I give you thanks
Thanks for all you have done
My life is full and complete
Only because I have you

All of my plans and rewards
All of the things that I own
All of the breath in my lungs

Jesus, sweet Jesus
Savior redeemer and friend
I can’t imagine where I would be
If you had not first loved me

So on this Thanksgiving Day I give you thanks
Thanks for all you have done
My life is full and complete
Only because I have you

I Can’t Help but Praise Him

I can’t help but praise Him when Sorrows come
In the midst of the storm or in the midst of the calm

I can’t help but praise Him when doubts arise
When fear is real and when hope has died

For He has taken my transgressions and covered all my sins
Because of his compassion I’m free to walk with Him

CHORUS
So I lift his name is mighty name the mighty name of Jesus
I lift His mighty name. The mighty name of Jesus

I can’t help but praise him when my life is a mess
I can always count on his faithfulness

For He has taken my transgressions and covered all my sins
Because of his compassion I’m free to walk with Him

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I lift my hands I lift my voice and I sing Hallelujah
I lift my hands I lift my voice and I sing Hallelujah

I Can

Leave a reply

I can hear Him
Gently speaking
In a whisper
Above the noise of this world
Kind words
Gentle words
Words of life and hope
Words that lift me out of darkness
Into light
I can hear Him

I can see Him
Shining brightly
Everywhere
In all of His creation
The stars
And the birds
Testify of His presence
His presence that is always near me
Without question
I can see Him

I can feel Him
Flowing softly
Through my being
Letting me know He is near
Holding me
Helping me
Walking close beside me
Carrying me when I fall down
He is there
I can feel Him

Oh God of wonder
How precious you are
How wonderful your ways
You fill my days
With your great grace
Your mercy runs
When I am down and out
You always pull me through
And then I know
No matter what comes
With you right here
I can
