The Believers Life

Come To Him

He took the time to come to me
To set me free
At Calvary

He took the time to come to me
To deliver me
From all dis-ease

He took the time to come to me
To be with me
For eternity

He took the time to some to me
Down from His seat
In heavens retreat

He took the time to come to me
Will I take the time to come to Him

To come to Him down on my knees
With all me please
For others needs

To come to Him with arms raised high
To give my life
A sacrifice

To come to Him first every day
To give Him praise
To seek His face

To come to Him for all my needs
He gives me peace
Sets me at ease

He came to you
Will you come to Him?

Jesus Touched Me

I was lost and all alone
Having no place to call home
Then the light of heaven shone
Jesus touched me

I could not find my way
Traveled aimlessly each day
Then I raised my voice to pray
Jesus touched me

Jesus touched me
Jesus touched me
Jesus gave His life for me
When He died at Calvary
Jesus touched me
Jesus touched me
I’m so glad that He has set me free

Now I can call heaven home
I’m no longer here alone
I will worship at His throne
Jesus touched me

In a moment He saved me
In a moment I was free
In a moment sin was washed away from me
When Jesus came to me
I could feel His love and peace
Now forever more I will be with Him

Jesus touched me
Jesus touched me
Jesus gave His life for me
When He died at Calvary
Jesus touched me
Jesus touched me
I’m so glad that He has set me free

 

Praise and Worship

He Has Brought Me Through

I will stand upon the promise He has given
His word is true throughout eternity
In His mercy He has freed me from my burdens
I can walk forever more in victory

He has brought me through
He has brought me through
I am bound for the victory side
He has brought me through
He has brought me through
In His love I will forevermore abide

I will listen for His voice amidst the turmoil
That surrounds me as I walk along the way
For I know that His desire is to guide me
That I may fulfill His plan from day to day

He has brought me through
He has brought me through
I am bound for the victory side
He has brought me through
He has brought me through
In His love I will forevermore abide

Then one day He will return in clouds of splendor
I will rise to meet Him up there in the sky
All the battles I have gone through will be over
And I’ll sing with the angelic host on high

He has brought me through
He has brought me through
I am bound for the victory side
He has brought me through
He has brought me through
In His love I will forevermore abide

 

Hello My Child

Hello my child I greet you
As you rise from sleep today
I see you as you kneel down
And start to softly pray
You whisper words of caring
For friends both far and near
I’m glad to answer every prayer
That you bring to my ear

Hello my child I’m with you
Please walk with me today
I’ll guide you and protect you
While you walk in my way
I’ll give you strength and power
To do what you must do
I’ll see to it that every trial
Will only strengthen you

Hello my child I’m near you
Please talk with me today
Tell me your troubles and your fear
Then I’ll teach you my ways
You’ll learn of love and beauty
You’ll learn of joy and peace
Then in the end you’ll know the hope
That lasts eternally

Hello my child I love you
And when the hard times come
I’ll carry you through every storm
I’ll help you overcome
I’ll never ever leave you
You never have to fear
For even when it seems I’m gone
I’ll always be right here

When I Think About the Cross

When I think about the cross I think about His blood
Shed for you and me to show us His great love
His blood has cleansed our sins whiter than the snow
His blood has given us our freedom from the hell below

When I think about the cross I think about the scars
They beat Him leaving stripes upon His back and arms
They drove spikes through His hands and feet to hold Him there
They pierced His dying side with a Roman soldiers spear

When I think about the cross I think about the thorns
The cruel crown of pain was given out if scorn
The pricks into His scalp brought drops of blood and sweat
The parted His own garment as they placed their bets

When I think about the cross I think about His pain
He faced more agony than I will ever understand
The fact he did it willingly is such a mystery
Why would the Son of God give up His life for me

When I think about the cross I think about His words
He asked God to forgive us down through time the message heard
He said that it is finished salvation’s plan complete
He died a cruel death and threw Satan to defeat

When I think about the cross I think about the grave
They sealed Him up inside so that he could not escape
Yet on that third day the stone was rolled away
He rose up from the dead and defeated death that day

When I think about the cross I think about His love
He came to earth to die from His throne above
God loved us all so much he gave His only Son
He died and rose again and calls to everyone

Come see what God has done to redeem you from your sin
Come see what God has done to make you whole again
Come see what God has done to give eternal life
Will you accept His death as your redeeming sacrifice?

His Presence is Mine

There He was standing before me
With arms that were opened wide
I ran to feel Him embrace me
Then I stayed there right by His side

I felt His sweet peace overtake me
I breathed an aroma of joy
My heart leapt inside with a shudder
As His love swept right into my soul

What a redeemer He is
What a Savior divine
He set me free
From sins dread disease
Forever His presence is mine

As I stayed there in His embrace
Each moment I felt reassured
Forever His love would be with me
And the hope He gives will endure

What a redeemer He is
What a Savior divine
He set me free
From sins dread disease
Forever His presence is mine

He bore my sins
He cleansed me white as snow
He filled my spirit and now I know
Forever I’ll be
Safe in His loving arms
Oh what a Savior divine

What a redeemer He is
What a Savior divine
He set me free
From sins dread disease
Forever His presence is mine

It’s You I Choose

His voice spoke silently
As I awoke from my night’s sleep
Words that filtered to my soul
Words of peace and joy and hope

I knew that He was there with me
To tell me He has set me free
Free from worry doubt and fear
Free from sorrow with its tears

Oh what mercy then I felt
I stooped down and there I knelt
Quietly beside my bed
Slowly bowing down my head

Lord I don’t deserve your grace
I don’t deserve your warm embrace
I haven’t done all that you’ve asked
I’ve been too lazy in the task

As I bowed with weeping eyes
He spoke to me with words so wise
My child I paid the price for you
And now my child it’s you I choose

I choose to love you more each day
I choose to guide you in my ways
I choose to show my word to you
No matter what it’s you I choose

I wept there as I knelt in prayer
I felt His spirit in the air
He chose me to be His child
All my sins He reconciled

Because He’s done so much for me
From now on it’s my heartfelt plea
To do all that He asks me to
So now my question is will you?

 

Minister Grace

At the end of the day when I’m weary
And I’m ready to lay down my head
I think back on the things that have happened
And the words that were flippantly said

I don’t know why I spoke things I shouldn’t
I don’t know why my words slipped out wrong
But I know that now when I look back
I ask forgiveness before long

Let the words of my mouth be cautious
Let the thoughts in my mind show mercy
Let my spirit be full of your great great love
So that I might minister grace

As I lay my head down I pray softly
Asking God to help me tomorrow
I desire that my words will flow gently
To help all that they touch see my Lord

Words of love and peace
Words of joy and hope
Words of salt and light
Words of grace thats bold

Let the words of my mouth be cautious
Let the thoughts in my mind show mercy
Let my spirit be full of your great great love
So that I might minister grace

Inner Peace

I still remember when I came to Jesus
And asked Him to forgive all of my sin
He did not hesitate
To wash me clean that day
I felt His peace sweep over me within

And since that day I’ve even grown much fonder
Of what my Savior did for me that day
It was so long ago
Yet it still seems as though
Each day my heart is cleansed once again

I need Him every day
I need Him so I pray
Each day I ask Him to renew my vow
I need His joy and peace
His love will never cease
To fill my heart with all that He bestows

I hope that you have asked Jesus to save you
And wipe away the sin that’s in your life
Repent of all today
Let Jesus guide your way
He died as your redeeming sacrifice

By His grace He saved you
By His grace He gave you
Freedom from the sin that troubled you
By His mercy He
Will bring you inner peace
Just ask Him in your heart today

Precious Lord and Savior
I fall down at your feet
Please let me stay here for eternity
You are all I could want
All that my heart desires
My Lord of Life how I love you so

Then Alpha and Omega

He is the Alpha
The beginning
He was before anything else was
He spoke and there was Light
Before that only darkness ruled
He spoke the world into existence
He formed the sun
The moon and the stars
With His voice
The plants and trees
Came forth at His command
The animals and birds and fish
The insects
Flying and crawling insects
Appeared when He spoke
All of creation came forth by His Word
Except man
He formed man from the dust of the ground
With His tender loving hands
Every organ
Every muscle
Every bone
Hundreds of miles of veins and arteries
An intricate web of nerves
All assembled by His hand
Then He breathed life into the man
The only part of creation that was not spoken into existence
But lovingly
And carefully crafted
Molded like clay
Then He made the woman from man
From a rib He formed her
She was formed to be with Him
The same tender care went into forming her
As forming him
She is his helpmate
Because man needed help
Help to see his faults
Help to walk with God
Help to survive
He looked at all the creation He had made
And said it is good
Everything that is was made by Him
Nothing came by itself
He is the Alpha

He is the Omega
Time does not have hold on Him
He will be until forever
Until there is no more time
Even then he will still be
He will still be guiding us
Watching over us
Caring for us
Providing for us
As He made all things in the beginning
He will keep all things going for eternity
There is no end to Him
He will not die
He will not fade away
He will not disappear
He will be there
When we need Him
When we long for Him
He will come to our side
His Word will also be there
His Word will never fail
Every promise
Every prophecy
Every hope
Will come to pass
And will last for all time
When time is no more
He will still go on
His Word will still go on
His love will still go on
He is the Omega

Yesterday He is the same
Tomorrow He is the same
Today He is the same
He never changes
He is still creator
He still molds us
And shapes us
As a potter does the clay
So are we in His hands
He never stops loving us
Caring for us
Providing for us
Delivering us
Guiding us
Protecting us
From the very beginning
Until the very end
His love will not change
It will always remain
You can depend on it
Moe than the sunrise
More than the stars that shine
More than the day and night
More than anything
You can depend on His Word
It will never fail
It will never return void
His Word will accomplish what He desires
Every time
It will move your mountains
It will dispel your enemies
It will provide your needs
It will comfort your sorrow
It will turn storms into peace
It will guide you on your way
His Word is who He is
Forever and forever
The Alpha
The Omega
The here and now
Always the same
Always remains
