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

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

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

When I’m Under Standing

2 Replies

Sometimes my understanding

Is with knowledge and with words

Ignorance is banished

My mind is now renewed

But only when I’m understanding

The wisdom of the Lord

Can I truly have the wisdom that I  need

For understanding God

Is to stand under His shadow

And be infused with His knowledge

Which leads to all understanding

So ‘ll be Under Standing God

And walk in all His mercy

And the wisdom He imparts

Will light my way.

A Simple Life

Leave a reply

Written in response to the prompt from the daily caller

Life often gets  complicated

The time just slips on by.

With work, family and social things

I wish I could sometimes fly

 

I am often off running in circle

To get where I need to be

It’s not that I think it’s annoying

It’s just that I can’t schedule me

 

My Lord says to be a like a child

To live in simplicity

They don’t have a plan book or schedule

They just live by faith in mercy

 

Lord, help me to be like thia child

Who totally trusts in your love

Let me live a life that’s simple

Not complicated with stuff

 

 

His Matchless Name

Leave a reply

Save me Lord and I will be saved

Heal me Lord, and I will be healed

For you are my Savior, refuge and strength

There is nothing too hard for thee

 

Deliver me Lord, and I will be free

Redeem me Lord, and my debt will be paid

For you are my rock and my hiding place

In you I will always be safe

 

Lift me up Lord, and I will have joy

Ease my sorrow Lord, and I will I have peace

For you give me hope for the future

And you’ll walk with me eternally

 

How can I ignore your mercy?

It is right with me every day

How can I not see your grace?

It protects me all the way.

 

So I will lift my voice in song

I will lift the highest praise

You alone are worthy Lord

Jesus is the only name

 

That name brings healing at its sound

Salvation lives in Jesus name

Deliverance comes where He abounds

Redemption from his name proclaimed

 

Joy and Peace come when I praise

The mighty mention of His name

My hope is resting as I say

His wonderful and matchless name

 

The name I say is Jesus

The loveliest of names

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

He is all my praise

Lord of My Heart

Wonderful Jesus
Lord of my heart
You rescued me
Out of the dark
You gave your life
So that I could be free
When you died sinless
On Calvary’s tree
Bought my salvation
A debt that I owed
Your love has paid
So I could have hope
Rose from the grave
Up to heavens door
Where I will dwell
Forever more
Wonderful Jesus
Lord of my heart
I know that you
Will never depart
You promised me
You’d stay by my side
From this very day
‘Til the day that I die
Then when I rise
To my heavenly home
I’ll spend eternity
Never alone
Wonderful Jesus
Lord of my Heart
I’ll worship you
Until I depart
Then when I land
On my mansion above
I’ll praise you always
For your tender love

The Present

Today is the day
Not yesterday
Today is the day
To praise the Lord
Today is the day
Not next week
Not last week
Today is the day
To worship Him
He is the one
Who gives us the present
He is the one
Who gives breath every day
He is the one
Who gives rythm to heart beats
Only my God
Can show me the way
Today is a present
All wrapped up in hope
His peace calms my spirit
His joy overflows
This wonderful present
Is mine for the asking
It comes every moment
From Jesus my King
He is the one
That showers with mercy
He is the one
Whose love reigns divine
He is the one
Who gives grace amazing
Only my God
Will always be mine
Today is the day
Today is the present
Today is my gift
From Jesus my Lord
Today I will praise Him
Today I will worship
Today is my chance
To give thanks to my Lord.
