Jesus, You Are

Jesus, what a wonder

You put the stars in place

Separated earth and sky

Set the sun in space

Brought up food from fertile ground

Spoke and animals abound

Jesus, what a wonder you are

 

Jesus, your incredible

Came to earth a babe

Left your throne in glory

In a manger lay

Shepherds bowed in worship

Wise men brought great gifts

Jesus, how incredible you are

 

Jesus, your amazing

Ministered three years

Walked among the people

Joy flowed out in tears

Lowly men would hear Him

Learned men turned from Him

Jesus, how amazing you are

 

Jesus, you are mercy

Died upon the cross

Gave your life so freely

Paid such a big cost

Ransomed me from all my sin

Then you brought me peace within

Jesus, you are mercy to me

 

In all the ways of time and space

There’s no one who can take your place

I long to be in your embrace

Safe from any harm

 

So I will praise your mighty name

You ransomed me, Your name I’ll raise

For all the marvels you have made

Your worth is more than life

Surrounded

You surround me with your peace, Oh Lord

I am resting in your arms, I’m yours

All my worries gone away

I am calm throughout the day

Since your peace is nestled in my heart

 

You surround me with your joy, Oh Lord

I can face the trials that reach my door

Nothing causes me dismay

As I trust in you each day

Since your joy is nestled in my soul

 

You surround me with your hope, oh Lord

My future is secure, this I know

While the world is running wild

I remain both calm and mild

Since your hope is nestled way below

 

You surround me with your victory Lord

The enemy’s defeated by your word

All I have to do is speak

And the enemy retreats

Since your victory is mine for sure

 

You surround me with your love, Of Lord

I will seek you as it’s you I adore

My I never cease to praise

Your wonderful, sweet name

Since your love is mine and so much more.

More of Him

Leave a reply

This world goes after power

Fame and fortune is their goal

They often buy things they cannot afford

And in the end they’re empty

None of these can satisfy

The emptiness that lives within their soul

 

I have found that living

In this world is quite a test

Day to day the choices are a chore

But this one thing I realize

Can settle my heart down

All I need is more of my Lord

 

More of Him in the morning

Before the breaking dawn

When darkness rules the skies in all the land

The silence is so quiet

I can listen for His voice

I can hear Him whisper all of His sweet plans

 

More of Him at daybreak

When morning gilds the skies

Golden beauty lines the clouds above

The sun peeks out in splendor

Reminding everyone

That this day will be filled with God’s love

 

More of Him in the daytime

As I work to earn my way

He guides me step by step in my pursuits

I honor Him and praise Him

From the bottom of my heart

He keeps reminding me of His great truths

 

More of Him at sunset

When day is growing short

He paints His awesome clouds so brilliantly

I want Him to draw closer

As the light fades into dark

The picture in the clouds goes quietly

 

More of Him at nighttime

When I lay my head to rest

His spirit holds my heart so tenderly

Every day I’ve spend with Him

The more I come to know

That more of Him is all I really need

You’re Welcome

Leave a reply

There are so many times

I say Thank You Lord

For the wonderful things you have done

But oft I’m so busy

Giving Him thanks

That I don’t listen to His response

 

I think, if I’d listen

To hear His soft voice

The words He would say would be clear

He would once again

Tell me of His great love

As He whispers these words in my ear

 

Your welcome to my peace

More peace then you’ve ever known

I’ll shower it on you each day

So you’ll never feel alone

 

Your welcome to my joy

That bubbles up from deep within

Though trials may come in your life

My joy will help you to win

 

Your welcome to my healing

For sickness and heartache and pain

You no longer have to suffer

My healing will touch you again

 

Your welcome to my mercy

I extend it to you each day

I paid the punishment for your sin

So you can be free from your shame

 

Your welcome to my grace

I desire to bless you so much

By faith take the gifts that I give you

Allow me your life to touch

 

I feel He would go on and on

Welcoming me to His love

The list of His blessings is endless

He showers them down from above

 

So the next time I thank Him, I’ll listen

To see if these words He will say

And then I will take time to praise Him

Day after day after day

The Only Name

Leave a reply
I will lift His name
High above all names
Emmanuel,  God with us
The highest praise
To His lovely name
Savior,  Messiah
Jesus Christ
There is no other name
That commands the heavens
He put the stars in place
By His spoken word
There is no other name
That contains the oceans
He draws a line where waves
Come crashing forth.
There is no other name
From which demons flee
They run and hide away
Never to return
There is no other name
By which blind men see
Darkness turns into day
When His voice is heard
Jesus, the only name
That can set me free
From the debt of sin
He brings victory
Jesus, the only name
That can heaven bring
Gives eternal life
By His suffering

 

I will lift His name
High above all names
Emmanuel,  God with us
The highest praise
To His lovely name
Savior,  Messiah
Jesus Christ

So Much More

Leave a reply
What can I bring as an offering
To Jesus, who gave His all?
What is the proper expression
That would not be considered too small?
How can I even begin to show
The depth of my grateful heart?
There’s only one way I can think of
That’s to give Him my praise from the start.
I’ll open my lips and sing
The praises of Christ the King
He’s given me everything
And so much more
I’ll lift up my hands to His throne
Adoring the love He has shown
He made me His very own
And so much more
I’ll lift up my eyes to His face
His beauty I will embrace
He keeps me safe in this place
And so much more
One thing above all I must bring
My life as an offering
I must give Him everything
And so much more

He Took and He Gave

Leave a reply
When He died upon the cross that day
His love came down through time
He gathered all my sins away
And replaced them with His life
He took my unforgiveness
My bitterness and grief
And showed me what forgiveness really means
For I was undeserving
Of the mercy He gave me
Now I try to understand my brothers needs
He took my doubts and fears
Of who I really was
And showed me His great plan to change my life
For I was wandering aimless
Never touching anyone
Now I help the lost to change their lives
He took my insecurity
Of what the future holds
And showed me there’s a hope for all of time
For I was wasting all my time
On dead end pursuits
Now i can truly know that heaven will be mine
He took my lousy attitude
And the venom my mouth spewed
And showed me that His joy could overcome
For I was only happy
When things would go my way
Now this joy always reminds me He has won
He took away my anger
At all the hurts Ihad endured
And showed me that to love is so much more
For I was always lonely
And was closed off deep inside
Now I try to make myself an open door
The change He made in my life
Didn’t happen overnight
In fact He still has so much work to do
But one thing that I know
Is when I asked Him in my heart
My life became much better through and through

Start With Praise

If you want to have
A great day
I suggest that you
Start with praise
God is worthy of
Every word you have to say
Maybe music is
What you need
To get out of bed
On your feet
Set your radio
So your heart awakes to beat
Because praise will
Lift your spirit
Worship will
calm your worries
Putting Him first
Will bring you peace
So put your
Whole heart in it
Don’t let your world
Or your duties
Crowd out the praise
That puts your mind at ease
Singing Hallelujahs
Glory to the King
Hallelujahs
Lord of Everything
Glory,  glory
Savior of the world
Glory, glory
Giver of the word
Holy, holy
Perfect sacrifice
Holy, holy
Died to give me life
Loud Hosannas
Rose again that day
Loud Hosannas
Gave us power to pray
So many ways to praise Him
So many things He’s done
So don’t forget to start each day

 

By singing of His love!

I Will

I will praise Him
No matter how I feel
I will give Him glory
Because His love is real
I will praise Him
Every single day
Worship Him forever
Lift His Holy name
If I praise Him just for blessings
My praise will oft fall short
Because some days just bring trials
It’s a promise from His word
If I praise Him just for healing
There’ll be times I’ll not sing out
Because illness can be lingering
And it may just steal my shout
But when I praise Him just because
He’s the Lord of heaven and earth
There is nothing that can blind me
To all that He is worth
He is more than blessings
More than healings,
More than life.
He’s the great creator
Of the earth
And all the skies.
So the next time tour day isn’t
What you planned for it to be
Just lift your hands and praise Him
And His glory you shall see
And all your trials and troubles
Will soon seem oh so small
The God of all creation
Is the master of them all.p

His Glory

Leave a reply
I have seen His glory
Shining from above
‘Tis the ancient story
Of abiding love
I have felt His glory
Filling up my heart
I know He adores me
Never will depart
I have praised His glory
Worshipped His sweet name
I will praise Him only
Age to age the same
I have touched His glory
With every earnest prayer
He answers His way only
And tells me He is there
His glory is amazing
His glory is divine
His glory is deserving
Of every praise of mine
His glory is eternal
His glory is so true
His glory is love’s journal

 

From heaven down to you.
