Your Mighty Name

Leave a reply

I lift my praise to you

In all I say and do

I lift my arms to you

I long to worship you

For you alone are worthy of my praise

You give me breath each day

You tell he sun to raise

You put me on my feet

Your flowers smell so sweet

You keep me from the flood

You always fill my cup

You’ll never leave my side

From you I cannot hide

So I will worship you

In everything I do

I’ll give you all my praise

And lift your holy name

I will give my all

To glorify you Lord

You the only one

whom I will adore

You fill me with your peace

It sets my mind at ease

You flood me with your joy

It makes me want to soar

The hope you give to me

Just makes me want to breath

And your love tops it all

The greatest love of all

I praise you for the love

You give me from above

I don’t deserve your grace

You give it anyway

Your mercy flows so free

For all eternity

So I will always praise

Your mighty name

What a Universe!

Can you see the beauty of creation all around you

Flowers blooming in the springtime

Leaves falling in the fall

Do you stop and look at stars up above you

Or the way the sun keeps time

Or the way the stars can fall?

Does it ever occur to you

That there’s an order to it all

That cannot be just circumstance

The course of nature’s due

To one celestial call

It is not a matter of just chance

So the next time someone says

A bang is what explains

The start of this great universe we love

I’d ask you to take days

To speak to them real plan

And tell them of our precious God above

Struggle Written in response to the Daily Prompt

I used to blame God for my hardships

It seems He was out to get me

I wandered in drugs and some drinking

And thought He’d abandoned me

But one day I turned toward His mercy

And I asked Him to enter my life

I can still remember His answer to me

As He walked in and opened my eyes

He said my struggle was not against Him

But against my own sinful heart

But now that I had Him walking with me

The path would not be so hard

He said He’d walk with me every day

And help me with anything hard

So I smiled and I took hold of His hand

And my struggles all seemed to depart

Closer

Leave a reply

I want to be closer. Closer to your side

I want to be nearer. Never let me hide

I want to be purer. As I walk through life

I want to be yours. In you I will abide

There is never a time you will leave my side

But I may wander away

When I do I can rest assured you abide

In my heart each and every day

You promised you’ll never leave or forsake me

Even if I should mess up

When I find myself far from where I should be

You come and fill my cup

When I cannot hide from the trials I face

I just want to walk away

But you come and guide me to a peaceful place

Where I can bow and pray

These are the reasons I trust in you

Every promise I know is true

You will be with me my whole life through

Jesus, my Lord

Turn

Leave a reply

There are times in life when I get turned around

From the path the God has chosen just for me

But when I realize

The troubles that arise

There’s only one way that will set me free

Every time I turn around, there’s Jesus

He said if I’ll repent, He’ll forgive

So when I fall to sin

Or trouble deep within

I turned to Him and he will help me live

If my life has turned to pain or sickness

And I start to fear that this will be the way

If I turn to the cross

And see his precious blood

That blood will heal me every single day

If I find that fear and doubt has crossed my path

And I simply don’t believe I’ll ever win

I turn to read His word

The promise of my Lord

He fills with up with faith deep within

If I find myself in weakness or despair

And I feel like I just can’t go on

I turn my trust to Him

And he comes flowing in

And tells me He’s been with me all along

So if you find yourself

In trouble, and need help

I trust you now know what to do

Just simply turn around

And Jesus will be found

He will always see you through

Building Blocks

What have you been building

All throughout your life?

Is it wealth and admiration

That you exchanged for strife?

Is it power and your passions

That does your soul ignite?

Or maybe its the things you do

To enjoy the party Life?

I was that way so long ago

I went after all those things

But found them to be empty

They didn’t lead to anything

So I decided to tear down the old

And rebuild my life into one that sings

I build upon the Love of God

A foundation true and strong

I built upon His mercy

And His grace just came along

I built upon His sacrifice

His final ending sigh

I built my Life on Jesus Christ

The Building Block of Life

Rebuild

You Promise

Leave a reply

Where else would I go Lord?

Where else can I find

All the promises you’ve given

Coming through in my life?

You promise refuge from the storm

A hiding place for my soul

So I will not be fearful

When the days grow cold

You promise a fortress around me

To strengthen me when I am weak

The walls of your mercy rise mighty

To keep out the enemy

You promise me health and deliverance

From all that has gone before

I now longer walk in my past life

I can walk in your victory, lord

You promise me peace and joy

In a world where these are lost

You fill me with both of these virtues

And promise there won’t be a cost

You promise me salvation

Redemption from my sin

A new life birthed within me

Your Holy Spirt within

But more than all these things above

You promise me your steadfast love

It’s crowned with grace and mercy sweet

I will bow before your feet

For you are worthy of my praise

For all the wonder of your name

I’ll lift you high in all my days

And praise you for your promises

He Satisfies

From sun raise

To evening blaze

He satisfies

From night of dark

To morning lark

He satisfies

No time of day

Can slip His gaze

He satisfies

He always gives

What makes us live

He satisfies

The air I breath

The light need

He satisfies

The bird that sings

The rain in spring

He satisfies

The flowers bloom

The blessings loom

He satisfies

The food we eat

The grows at His feet

He satisfies

But more than all these things above

He satisfies us with His love

His peace and joy does fill my soul

He satisfies and makes me whole

His healing flows to every part

His deliverance is for my heart

His salvation, pure and free

He satisfies my ever plea

There’s nothing I can ever need

That my God doesn’t fill with glee

So I am here to testify

That my God always satisfies
