Leave All Behind

Leave a reply

Where could I go
What could I do
There’s nothing I want
But to follow you
There’s nothing I need
But your endless grace
You are my refugee
My sure hiding place
So I’ll run to you
And leave all behind

Only Jesus can satisfy my soul
Only Jesus can rid me of my sin
Only Jesus can give me life brand new
Only Jesus
Only Jesus

What would I do
If I had not found you
Waiting for me
To come to you
Your love reached out
Your mercy touched me
Now you can show
What I’m made to be
I’m in your hands
I leave all behind

Only Jesus can satisfy my soul
Only Jesus can rid me of my sin
Only Jesus can give me life brand new
Only Jesus
Only Jesus

I leave my sin my sorrow my shame
I leave my hurt my doubt and my pain
I leave my heart in your tender hands
I leave my life behind to follow you

Only Jesus can satisfy my soul
Only Jesus can rid me of my sin
Only Jesus can give me life brand new
Only Jesus
Only Jesus

His Glorious Light

Leave a reply

Peeking through the darkness
Piercing through the night
Into all my sorrows
Comes his glorious light

Overcoming failures
Showing me the way
His light makes me victorious
Each and every day

His light shines all around me
His light will give me strength
To overcome the battles
Then Guide me on the way

I love the light of Jesus
I love his saving grace
I cannot wait to see him
To look upon his face

When this life overtakes me
And I feel weighted down
My hope remains in Jesus
For He’s my solid ground

The Cross is All I See

Leave a reply

My neighbor built a rock garden
With a fountain flowing free
Some birdhouses hung above the rocks
On a pole that had a tee
A light was hoisted high
To shine for all to see
And when I looked upon it
The cross is all I see

As I travel ‘round for business
The landscape is so vast
I look out on the countryside
As long as sunlight lasts
Spread all along the roadside
Are wires dangling free
From poles with arms attached
The cross is all I see

What a wondrous gift God gave us
In an old rugged cross
A symbol of God’s grace and love for me
I travel through my neighborhood
And all around the state
Seems everywhere the cross is there to see

Open your eyes to see the cross
Each day you go outside
It’s their in all its beauty
The cross will never hide
And when you meet a friend
Tell Him of God’s great love
Tell Him about the cross you see
Gods great gift from above

I Have Decided

Leave a reply

I have decided to follow Jesus Christ
He’s the King of all Kings
He’s the Lord of my life
He’s a friend that’s faithful
He supplies all my needs
I have decided to follow His lead

i have decided to live for Jesus Christ
He came down from heaven to offer His life
Creator of all my redeemer is He
I’ll share His love with each person I see

I have decided my life is in Christ
I’ll die to myself and give Him my life
For He has a plan that is tailored for me
He’ll make me all I’m created to be

Will you make this choice to make Jesus your Lord
it’s a choice you shpuld make it should not be ignored
Just ask His forgiveness and turn fro. your sin
And soon His sweet peace will enter within

Born again

His Wonderful Love

2 Replies

There’s nothing I need that He can’t supply
Nothing I want but Him by my side
Nothing else keeps me satisfied
Like His love
His wonderful love

There’s nothing I have that He did not give
Nothing desired but to be only His
Nothing His mercy cannot forgive
Because of His love
His wonderful love

CHORUS
His love
His wonderful love
All that I have
Came from above
Such love
Gave all He had
To free me from my sin

There’s nothing in life that nearly compares
Nothing that matters if he is not there
Nothing His grace won’t help me to bear
By His love
His wonderful love

CHORUS

He is the King of Kings
He is the Lord of Lords
Yet He gave up His life
He loved me so (REPEAT)

CHORUS

All Things

My God is omnipotent
Nothing to hard
All things are possible
He is in charge

My God is omniscient
He knows my name
All things are in His care
I give Him praise

CHORUS
All things
He can do all things
Knows all my needs
Hears every cry
All things
My God can do all things
His voice I heed
His mercy supplies

My God’s omnipresent
Always around
In all things He comforts
His presence abounds

CHORUS

All things are His
Thus all things are mine
All I require
All I desire

CHORUS

No Other

No other name like the name of Jesus
No other Savior washes sin away
No other power greater than His me rcy
No other gift can replace His grace

No other comfort other than His Spirit
No other peace keeps my heart so calm
No other joy fills me with such wonder
No other thrill stronger than His love

He is like no other
He is more than life
He is strong and mighty
Gentle as a dove
Come sit at His table
A feast prepared for you
He is like no other
Jesus Lamb of God

No other way we can get to heaven
No other hope like His promises
No other faith takes away my doubts
No other name like Jesus

He is like no other
He is more than life
He is strong and mighty
Gentle as a dove
Come sit at His table
A feast prepared for you
He is like no other
Jesus Lamb of God

I will lift His name up high
I will lift His name up high
I will lift His name up high
Jesus Lamb of God

He is like no other
He is more than life
He is strong and mighty
Gentle as a dove
Come sit at His table
A feast prepared for you
He is like no other
Jesus Lamb of God

A Single Ray of Light

A single ray of light
Piercing through the night
Bringing on the day
Darkness fades away
Glorious in splendor
Brining sighs of wonder
Oh how I await
That first assuring ray

A single ray of light
Giving me my sight
God’s own holy word
Piercing like a sword
My soul is cleansed each day
His word provides the way
Let it shine so bright
That single ray of light

Oh Lord I need the light
It brings me pure delight
To read the truth each day
To follow in your ways
Please burn within my heart
That each day I will start
By bringing into sight
A single ray of light

 

It’s Just the Cross

2 Replies

It’s not my knowledge or my fame
It’s not my power or my fame
It’s not the way I play a game
It’s just the cross

It’s not how many I should know
It’s not how wonderful I’ve grown
It’s not the seeds that I have sown
It’s just the cross

Just the cross
That’s what saves me
Just the cross
That’s what gives me life
Just the cross of Calvary
The one who died upon that tree
Jesus, my Savior and my Lord

It’s not thee words that I should speak
It’s all about the one I seek
It’s not the works that I display
It’s all about His holy name
The name of Jesus
The name of Jesus

Just the cross
That’s what saves me
Just the cross
That’s what gives me life
Just the cross of Calvary
The one who died upon that tree
Jesus, my Savior and my Lord

You Come to Me

1 Reply

In the midst of the storm
When the waves are crashing
When the wind is lashing
You come to me

When I’m all alone
And my doubts are growing
When my faith is going
You come to me

You come to me
And settle down my spirit
You overtake my fear
By filling me with faith
You overtake my worry
With a peace that covers all
I have assurance
When you come to me

In those restless times
When I lose my way
When the night just stays
You some to me

Then I know you will heal me
I know you will save me
I know you will love me
When you come to me

You come to me
And settle down my spirit
You overtake my fear
By filling me with faith
You overtake my worry
With a peace that covers all
I have assurance
When you come to me
