My Lord Divine

Leave a reply
It’s a blessed day
I will sing His praise
Loud hosannas raise
To His Holy name
He has blessed my life
Saved me for all time
He’s my Lord divine
For the rest of time
No matter what the day brings
Or what trials come my way
He’s always there beside me
To guide me with His grace
If I should fall and stumble
He’s there to pick me up
If my faith should go weary
He’ll come and fill my cup
His mercy is amazing
He spares me all the time
His love is neverending
I can’t believe it’s mine
It’s a blessed day
I will sing His praise
Loud hosannas raise
To His Holy name
He has blessed my life
Saved me for all time
He’s my Lord divine
For the rest of time

Awesome Grace

Leave a reply

I can’t imagine

What God will do today

Every day is a new miracle

When I trust His way

 

Nobody ever knows

The blessings that will come

When I yield to His spirit

And trust in His love

 

Today might bring trials

That challenge my faith

Designed so I’ll run

To His awesome grace

 

Sickness may come

In the midst of the night

Will I trust on His healing?

To end my plight?

 

Friends might desert me

And ruin my name

It’s then I need Jesus

To weather the pain

 

Days are not always

Blessings and joy

There are times in the valley

When we need to grow

 

So God allows these things

To strengthen our faith

If we’ll only just trust

In His awesome grace

My Heavenly Father

Leave a reply

I once had a Father on earth

Who I barely knew at all

He left us when I was young

And He hardly ever called

 

We would get a gift at Christmas

And a visit here and there

But through time I grew bitter

And didn’t even care.

 

The anger inside grew mighty

As I reached my teenage years

I got into things angered my mom

And had her often in tears

 

I could not find my way through life

I struggled just to survive

The time had to come to turn around

Or I might take my life

 

Then a friend from a long time ago

Came and told me a story I knew

But He told it in such a different way

I listened and heard the truth

 

I have a heavenly Father

Who loves me very much

A heavenly Father up above

Who came my heart to touch

 

He gave His own son

To die in my place

And covered my sin

With amazing grace

 

His mercy is greater

Than all my shame

He’ll live in my heart

And call me by name

 

And one day he’ll come

And take me home

To a life everlasting

Around His throne

 

I love my heavenly Father

He takes care of all my needs

My heavenly Father

He’ll always be there for me

 

Love Inescapable

Leave a reply
Hard times hit us all
Even happy people fell
Even we have days that cause us harm
But when we get real low
We know just where to go
Back to our Father’s loving arms
He holds His arms out wide
He’s ever at my side
He’s there to pick me up when I fall down
And if I bruise my soul
He heals me ’til I’m whole
And sets my feet on solid ground
He loves me
More than anything
He loves me
So amazing
He loves me
Even when my love grows cold
He loves me
Through my troubled days
He loves me
When I’ve lost my way
He loves me
I cannot escape His love
His grace will cover me
Whenever I’m in need
His blessings come in every size and shape
His mercy overflows
My selfish, prideful soul
And helps those things to quietly escape
His sweet perfection slides
Into this heart of mine
Without me even knowing it’s His hand
And then one day I see
His humility in me
And I realize that this is what He planned
He loves me
He fills me with joy
He loves me
His peace is employed
He loves me
More than I can ever know
He loves me
I will sing His prsise
He loves me
I’ll worship His sweet name
He loves me
I cannot escape His love

 

His Perfection

Leave a reply

I used to try and do it all

Not wondering if wrong or right

But it wasn’t long before I’d fall

And get lost in the fight

 

I wanted to be perfect

To impress all of my friends

But I soon found the difference

To gain any respect

 

Because I can never be perfect

In this human flesh I have

The only chance at that aspect

Is to call on Jesus name

 

Because when He comes to live in me

His Spirit makes me whole

And His perfection dwells in me

Forever in my soul

Again

Leave a reply
Today the Lord had mercy on me
He kept away the enemy
And reminded me that I’m set free
Again
Today the Lord has blessed me much
All day I felt His spirits touch
His presence was around so much
Again
Today His grace filled me with peace
He gave my soul a sweet release
All day I felt calm and at ease
Again
Again and again He’s there for me
He always meets me at me need
He listens to my prayerful pleas
Again, and again, and again
Today He flooded me with love
As vast as all the stars above
And I can know that it will come
Again
Again His mercy will be mine
Again His blessing He’ll assign
Again He’ll give me grace each time
Again
But high above all these great things
The greatest gift that He does bring
Is His great love, of that I’ll sing

 

Again, and again and again

High Above

Leave a reply
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me
He sends His mercy to my side
Each time I trip and fall
Such mercy is too much for me
I don’t deserve it all
His grace pours blessing in my life
That overwhelms my soul
I can’t contain the gratitude
That He has made me whole
But greatest of the gifts He shows
Is His great love for me
He gave His life upon a cross
That day at Calvary
This love is so amazing
So wonderful and strong
That every moment I’m awake
I sing my worship song
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me

Verbal Assault or Verbal Healing

This is an excellent read from Susan Fox’s blog. Please take a few minutes.

St. Mary's Falls

I had a picture in my mind this morning of those little yellow markers placed on the ground  in movies and TV shows when experts investigate a crime scene. In this case they did not mark bullets or shell casings. They marked deadly words.

I saw words shooting out of semi-automatic weapons and mowing down parents and children, homeless and housed, believers and doubters, victims and perpetrators, sinners and saints.

“What is this?” I asked.

“Verbal assault weapons.”

Is it my imagination or is verbal assault on the rise? Do people feel the need to arm themselves with harsher and stronger words to defend against rogue offenders on the internet – or complete strangers in news stories, for that matter?

We are becoming accustomed to hearing the insults and nasty innuendo that is politics-as-usual, but this week I am sick at heart at the cruel words aimed at parents who have lost…

Favor Undeserved

You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence
I will worship your sweet name
All the mercy you give
Freely into me, Lord
I do not deserve your love
Mercy that does pardon
All of my transgression
Mercy from your throne above
Then you pour your grace out
Favor undeserved, Lord
Freely you bestow your gifts
I can’t begin to measure
The blessings your grace brings me
Every day they help me live
Finally your love comes
Overwhelms my spirit
That you’d love a wretch like me
I am, oh, so thankful
You would look on me Lord
To wash away my sin and set me free
And soon you will came back
To take me home with thee
And I will praise your name
Through all eternity
You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence
I will worship your sweet name
