What a Change

Leave a reply 
I was sure
No one could hear my cry
No one could feel my hurt
No one could truly love me

Then I found
Jesus would hear my prayer
Jesus would heal my pain
Jesus would always love me

I knelt down
And prayed through in tears
And prayed for His peace
And prayed He would save me

He came in
And filled up my soul
And filled me with joy
And filled the void in my heart

Now I know
His love has no end
His love is by grace
His love shows His mercy

What a change He brought
To my longing heart
What a Savior He is to me
Because He has set me free

He’s all that I ever sought
To fill up my poor dead heart
And He’ll do the same for you
If you’ll only ask Him to


This is My Prayer

Leave a reply 
Bowing before you, down on my knees
Humbly I cry out in prayer
I know you meet all me desperate needs
I know that you are there

Waiting before your glorious throne
Hands held in prayerful pose
I ask to feel your sweet touch overflow
To my body, my mind and my soul

This is my prayer, This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

Your Spirit awakens my soul deep within
My heart feels your presence again
My faith is uplifted, I'm free from my sin
My body no longer in pain

I praise you Lord, for hearing my prayer
Answering softly, meeting my need
I praise you Lord, I know you will hear
Every word, every plea

This is my prayer, This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

This Is my Plea

Leave a reply 
I am not able to stand without your mercy.  

I am not able to walk without your grace

I cannot see beyond the dawn of each new day.  

Without you as my guide and my strength



I am not strong enough to face the challenge

I am not brave enough to fight the fight

I cannot understand the trials that come my way

Without your mercy and your grace



This is my prayer. This is my plea

I come before you down on my knees

Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see

How much I need you.

How much I need you, Lord



I cannot see the end of this trial

I do not know how it all will turn out

I can only trust in you, my God

To walk me through this fight



This is my prayer. This is my plea

I come before you down on my knees

Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see

How much I need you.

How much I need you, Lord



By my self I am lost in this world of unknowns

Desperately trying to figure life out

Then your Spirit comes in and calms my soul

And I can rest in your embrace



This is my prayer. This is my plea

I come before you down on my knees

Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see

How much I need you.

How much I need you, Lord

In Your Closet

Leave a reply 
A simple conversation
A request of prayer
A cry for help
You are chosen by God
To be an intercessor
To bow your head in prayer
For those who confide in you
You are chosen by God
To quietly pray
And seek His face
And keep the trust of a friend
Do you take this charge solemnly?
Do you keep that trust?
Or do you share it with others,
Supposedly enlisting their prayers?
When a friend shares a sorrow,
A hurt or a need with you
It is only with you - 
If they want others to know
They will tell them.
You pray!
You intercede to God for them
You bring their request before the Lord
Do it in your closet,
Not for all to see.
For this is the high calling off God
To be an intercessor.

Lord, You Are Amazing

Leave a reply 
Lord, you are amazing.
You bring me in contact with people
People of like faith
People I love to fellowship with.
And it is a joy.

Lord, you are amazing.
When I am away from these people
Whom you have brought me in contact with
You will keep them in my heart
And it is a joy.

Lord, you are amazing.
When you bring these people to my mind
Because you have placed them in my hear
I know they need my prayers
And I pray
And it is a joy

Lord, you are amazing
When I meet with them again
We have fellowship
And I hear how you answered their prayer
When I was praying
Because you placed them on my heart
And it is a great joy!
Lord You are amazing!

Call on Jesus

Leave a reply 
When you wake up in the morning brew your coffee
Have a muffin, or banana or some toast
Make sure all the house around you is in order 
Take a shower, brush your teeth and out the door

Wait a minute, somethings missing in that sequence
Something all of us should do to start our day
There is nothing more important than this one small thing 
Take some time down on your knees to pray

Pray for children, pray for neighbors, pray for grandma
Pray for friends that live both near and far away
Pray for pastor and for mayor and for workers 
Pray for everything you'll do throughout the day

You see the secret to success is not your bankroll
Not your wisdom, or your power or your fame
It’s not a matter of the place you have climbed to
Your success comes from the times you called His name

The name of Jesus is the key to all your future
The name of Jesus is your peace in every storm
The name of Jesus is a joy you can hold onto 
He’s a refuge and a strong and mighty tower

So, when you find that you are rushed and running ragged
And it seems you don't have time to even think 
Take a break down on your knees to call on Jesus
And you'll find you have more time to follow Him

He's the way. The truth, the life and He's your answer 
To the question of a day that seems too short
Just a little time with Jesus in the morning 
Will make the whole day better from the start

First Blood

Leave a reply 
He was in agony
In the garden of Gethsemane
Bowing His head, down on His knees
The first blood He shed was in prayer
The perfect sacrifice
Not a blemish or a scar
Ready to pay the ultimate price
The first blood He shed was in prayer
They beat Him and mocked Him
Spit in His face
In a trial that broke all their laws
They whipped Him and scourged Him
And crowned Him with thorns
Blood unceasingly dripped to the ground
The made Him carry His cross up a hill
Where beggars and thieves came to die
The drove nails
Through His hands and feet
As they hung Him on that cross
The agony there was when sin entered in
The Father had left Him alone
He never had felt the pain of sin
As His blood quickly seeped in the ground
He had never hurt anyone, never said wrong
Yet He died the most ungodly way
Yet with all of the blond that he shed that day
The first blood He shed was in prayer
Let us never forget the price that He paid
And the blood that was shed that day
But ponder on the significance
That the first blood He shed was in prayer

It’s Been A While

Leave a reply 
It’s been a while since I knelt bedside my bed and prayed
It’s been a while since I opened up the book and read
It’s been a while since I lifted up my arms in praise
But you have been here all along with your amazing grace

It’s been a while since I listened for your words of love
It’s been a while since I thought about your throne above
It’s been a while since I realized you are enough
But you have been there all the time with your redeeming love

Oh God, I miss my talks with you
The fulness of my walks with you
Oh God, I’ve moved so far away from you
Please help me find a way back to your unfailing grace
Have mercy on me now, my Lord, I pray

It’s time to kneel down by my bed to pray
And read the words of your amazing grace
I need to lift my arms and give you praise
For you have been right by me all the way

I soon forget that you are near
And that my prayers you always hear
I must remember that you love me all the time
Help me to see you by my side
Help me to know that you abide
Speak to my heart and open up my simple mind

Oh God, I miss my talks with you
The fulness of my walks with you
Oh God, I’ve moved so far away from you
Please help me find a way back to your unfailing grace
Have mercy on me now, my Lord, I pray
Have mercy on me now, my Lord, I pray
