In the Palm of His Hand

All of my worries
All my despair
All of my doubt
In the palm of His hand

All of my failures
All my great faults
All of my fear
In the palm of His hand

There’s no place on earth
Or in heaven above
That I’d rather be
Than safe in His love
He holds me so closely
Then show me His plan
I’ll always remain
In the palm of His hand

All of my triumph
All my success
All of my faith
In the palm of His hand

Remarkable
Wonderful
Savior is He
I’ll praise Him forever
As he leads me

There’s no place on earth
Or in heaven above
That I’d rather be
Than safe in His love
He holds me so closely
Then show me His plan
I’ll always remain
In the palm of His hand

The God Who Loves Me

Who paints the brilliant hues and celestial rainbows upon the clouds and the heavens
Where eyes can see them and where they cannot
Who listens to the calls of the birds and insects and wild beasts in all the corners of the globe
Where ears can hear then and where they cannot
Who drops the dew and the snow down on frosted valleys and distant mountains
Where fingers can feel them and where they cannot
Who crafts the aroma of the flowers and the shrubs that lie all around the globe
Where noses can smell them and where they cannot
There certainly is not a man who can name every color that is found in this vast creation
Or who can mimic every sound that might be soft or loud in all the heavens
Or send the vast array of sensations that can be felt by man throughout this earth
Or that can mix together the unending smells and fragrances that dance around in the air
There certainly is no other beast or flying thing that can accomplish these tasks
There certainly is no being in the sea or crawling on the ground that can carry out these feats
Who or what is it then that does all this
That has done this since the beginning of time
That will do this until the end of time
It must be one who holds the expanse of the earth in His hands
It must be one that can take time and stop it whenever He pleases
It must be one who can create something from nothing and can make nothing of something
Who can bring all the forces of nature together to please the least if His creation
Who can place every fragrance
Every color
Every sound
Right where He wants it to be
He must be omniscient
Knowing all things so he can mix them together precisely as they are needed
He must be omnipresent
Being able to bring from the far corners of the earth each ingredient as it is needed at that moment
He must be omnipotent
Having all power to draw out the very essence of each and every sensation
He must be above all
And in all
And through all
This is the God I serve
This is the God who loves me
The God of yesterday today and forever
The God who parted the Red Sea
The God who knocked down the walls of Jericho
The God who guided David’s stone
The God who saved Daniel from the Lions’ Den
The God who showed Ezekiel the wheel within a wheel
The God who loved us so much that he gave His only Son to die for us
To die for me
That is the God I serve
That is the God I love
That is the God who loves me

I Will Praise You All Day Long

When the sun comes up I will praise you
In the morning light I will praise you
As the song bird sings I will praise you
I will praise You all day long

In the midday heat I will praise you
As the storm clouds build I will praise you
When the wind grows strong i will praise you
I will praise You with a song

Wonderful creator this world is in your hands
Lead me by your Spirit that I might know your plans
Guide me as I travel throughout this glorious land
As long as I have breath I will praise you

As the sun goes down I will praise you
In the dead of night i will praise you
When my eyes grow tired I will praise you
I will praise you all day long

Every minute
Every second
Every hour I will praise you
Every minute
Every second
Every hour I will praise you

Wonderful creator this world is in your hands
Lead me by your Spirit that I might know your plans
Guide me as I travel throughout this glorious land
As long as I have breath I will praise you

 

Press On

You may have stumbled and fallen
In your life today
But the Spirit would say press on
You may have troubles and trials
That will not go away
But the Spirit would say press on
You may think what you’ve done
Is a sin far to great
Bu the Spirit would say press on
You may think that you’ve failed’
And now it’s too late
But the Spirit would say press on

Press on toward the mark
Press on toward the goal
Jesus is waiting for you
He is not concerned
By things covered with blood
He only wants you to press on

If you doubt you are saved
But you’ve confessed His name
Then the Spirit would say press on
The enemy will try
To deny His sweet name
But the Spirit would say press on

Nothing can be done about what has been done
But something can be done about what will be done
Nothing can be done about what has been done
But something can be done about what will be done

Press on toward the mark
Press on toward the goal
Jesus is waiting for you
He is not concerned
By things covered with blood
He only wants you to press on

Behold My Son

The time has come
The night is passed
The sun is soon
To rise at last

As I await
The morning light
I look to God
To give me sight

Behold the sun
It’s brilliant rays
Light up the clouds
When comes the day

Amidst the shadows
When trouble looms
I wait for God
To bring good news

His voice I hear
In grace so mild
Lift up your head
My little child

Behold my Son
Look on His face
Soon all your sorrow
Will erase

He’ll bring you joy
His peace abounds
Stand near to Him
On Holy ground

Behold my Son
His grace will shine
Just like the sunrise
In the sky

In every day
When trouble comes
Get rid of fear
Behold my Son

Fear to Hope

I had nowhere to run to
Nowhere to turn
I had long ago given up hope
My life was so empty
My mind so corrupt
I feared I had lost my soul

Then I heard about Jesus
Who so long ago
Bled and died so that I could be free
I cried out to Him
With a loud voice
Then He came and rescued me

What a marvelous thing it is to know
The one who can save a tortured soul
If you call to Him
His peace will come in
And turn every fear to hope

Now I tell everyone
Of His undying love
For He’s turned my whole life around
If you’re in despair
The solution is near
He’ll set your feet in solid ground

What a marvelous thing it is to know
The one who can save a tortured soul
If you call to Him
His peace will come in
And turn every fear to hope

Jesus my Savior
Jesus my Lord
Jesus my fortress and strength
Jesus Redeemer
The one I adore
He’ll be with me until the end

What a marvelous thing it is to know
The one who can save a tortured soul
If you call to Him
His peace will come in
And turn every fear to hope

His Wonderful Grace

What is it that keeps me coming back to God
What is it that makes me crave His vast and wonders love
What is it that assures me that He is enough
It’s his grace
His wonderful grace

What is it that removes all of my doubts and fears
What is it that dries my eyes and wipes away my tears
What is it that makes my worries all disappear
It’s his grace
His wonderful grace

I thank Him for the grace that He has shown to me
I thank Him for the grace that makes me what I need to be
I thank Him for the grace that caused my heart to see
His great grace
His wonderful Grace

I will sing His Praises my voice will raise up high
I will lift my hands and worship reaching for the sky
The world will know this grace as my words do testify
That He alone is Worthy
Worthy to be praised
He alone is Worthy
I’ll celebrate his grace
He alone is Worthy
One day soon I’ll see his face
All of this from His wonderful grace

Beauty of Creation

How Awesome You Are

The morning light
Brings a new day
The sun appears
On golden rays
Reminding me
That God is near
He paints the clouds
For all to see

Oh what a Savior
Oh what a friend
On His great love
I can depend
Just when the night
Seems dark and dim
The sun arises
And I see Him

My God how awesome you are
My God how awesome you are
My God how awesome you are
Oh what a Savior
Oh what a friend

Jesus Life

Come to the Wonderful Cross

If you need healing
If you need peace
If you need joy
Come

If you need deliverance
Freedom or hope
Come to the wonderful cross

Come to the cross
The wonderful cross
Where Jesus suffered and died
He took our sins
Our worries and fears
All on that wonderful cross

If you need faith
Forgiveness and life
Come to the wonderful cross

He gave His all
So we could have all
He gave His life
A great sacrifice
He gave His body
A ransom for all
Come to the wonderful cross

Come to the cross
The wonderful cross
Where Jesus suffered and died
He took our sins
Our worries and fears
All on that wonderful cross
