Glorious King

Leave a reply 

The first time He came as a babe
In a lowly manger He lay
The announcement came to shepherds on the field
He had left His throne in glory
To write a good news story
Of a Savior who would make the devil yield

The next time He’ll come in the clouds
The trumpet to all will resound
Those who put their trust in Him will meet in the air
Many will be left behind
In a world of chaos and crime
I am so glad I have put my life in His hand

Glorious King, Lord Jesus
Savior, deliverer friend
Glorious King, Lord Jesus
Victorious in the end
Victory over all my sin
Victory over pain within
Glorious King. Glorious King, Lord Jesus

The third time He’ll come in power
He will ride and the saints will follow
The sword of the Word will be wielded and ready for battle
All His enemies will be defeated
His redemption will then be completed
For a thousand years we will reign with Him in the heavens

Oh, what a day. What a glorious day
When Jesus comes down to earth
But even today He is coming your way
Into your heart is His birth
Will you welcome Him into your heart
Once He’s with you He will not depart
Today let the Savior show you what you’re really worth

Glorious King, Lord Jesus
Savior, deliverer friend
Glorious King, Lord Jesus
Victorious in the end
Victory over all my sin
Victory over pain within
Glorious King. Glorious King, Lord Jesus

Longing To See His Face

Leave a reply 
Here I sit, wondering, when He will come
Longing to see His face
Until that day coines, I will sit here in faith
Rest in His arms of grace

All of my life has pointed to this
The struggle to find my way
I was lost in a sea of shame and doubt
‘Til my Savior came to stay

He met me when I was adrift in my sin
I did not know which way to turn
Then He cried out to me through the voice of a friend
And I welcomed Him in in return

Oh, the love that I felt that day I gave up
Oh, the peace that flooded my soul
I realized then He’d been there all along
When I finally gave Him control

I’m amazed that He’d love such a wretch like me
All broken and covered with scars
But His mercy reached out and came down from the cross
He accepted me and healed my heart

Now I wait for the hour that He will return
His promise will come true that day
I sit here and lift up my praise to the Lord
Longing to see His face

Sinking Ground

Leave a reply 
 No one expected the angels
 No one expected the star
 No one expected that shepherds would bow
 Or that kings would come from afar
 No one knew that a child would be born
 In a manger filled with hay
 Only the Father knew His plan
 On that blessed Christmas day
  
 We hustle and bustle, thinking all is well
 As presents are piled up high
 We fix our great feasts and tell of good cheer
 While the sun rises high in sky
 We look at our children, all merry and bright
 As they open their presents with glee
 With great hope we look out on this beautiful day
 In the land of the brave and the free
  
 But in truth all around us the world’s fading fast
 Into a world of defeat
 Morality slowly is withered away
 And a plague fills us all with disease
 They speak of a cure when before there was none
 All around us people bow down
 We must sound the alarm in this worst of all times
 We are standing on sinking ground
  
 Our Father above sees all that transpires
 He knows when the time will be right
 That the trumpet will sound for all men to hear
 In the clouds His Son will arrive
 He will come as a thief in the night that day
 No one knows when is the time
 Just as He came on that Christmas Day
 Only few will be chosen to rise 
  
 Are you ready for Him to appear that day?
 Is your heart settled in His true grace?
 Have you asked Jesus Christ to be your Lord?
 Does He receive all of your praise?
 On this Christmas Day give your whole life to Him
 All your heart and your soul and your mind
 Tomorrow may be too late my friend
 And you’ll find you’re left behind
 Unexpected by many He will show up
 Please don’t say I’ll do it next time
  
  
  

Great Anticipation

2 Replies

I’m waiting here with great anticipation
The King of Kings is coming very soon
I won’t be left behind
For I have Christ on my mind
His precious blood has saved my soul from sin

There was a day when I was quite a mess
I didn’t know He died to set me free
One day He called to me
He said he died at Calvary
To give me life with Him eternally

Oh what mercy He has shown to me
Oh what grace He still bestows each day
I never want to leave His side
In Him I will always abide
When He appears He’ll carry me away

So I am looking up into the clouds
He said He would come back for all who know
The wonder of His love
Is really quite enough
To pay the debt of sin that we all owe

Today you need to give your life to Him
For if you don’t you’ll stay here on this earth
Hell will be your home
If He is not your Lord
So come to Him and have your second birth

He Has Brought Me Through

Leave a reply

I will stand upon the promise He has given
His word is true throughout eternity
In His mercy He has freed me from my burdens
I can walk forever more in victory

He has brought me through
He has brought me through
I am bound for the victory side
He has brought me through
He has brought me through
In His love I will forevermore abide

I will listen for His voice amidst the turmoil
That surrounds me as I walk along the way
For I know that His desire is to guide me
That I may fulfill His plan from day to day

He has brought me through
He has brought me through
I am bound for the victory side
He has brought me through
He has brought me through
In His love I will forevermore abide

Then one day He will return in clouds of splendor
I will rise to meet Him up there in the sky
All the battles I have gone through will be over
And I’ll sing with the angelic host on high

He has brought me through
He has brought me through
I am bound for the victory side
He has brought me through
He has brought me through
In His love I will forevermore abide

 

For Me

Leave a reply

This one thing I know.
Jesus loves me so
Died upon a tree
Just to set me free
Shed His precious blood
Just to show His love 
For me

 

I will give my life
All to Jesus Christ
His I’ll always be
For He’s done so much 
For me

 

How incredible
How amazing
How extraordinary is His love
I’m undeserving
Such a sinner
Yet His mercy reaches out to me
Great compassion 
Down from heaven
Grace will always be enough

For me

 

One more thing I know

One day I will go

Up into the air

He will meet me there

Never more to roam

He’s prepared a home

For me

 

How incredible
How amazing
How extraordinary is His love
I’m undeserving
Such a sinner
Yet His mercy reaches out to me
Great compassion 
Down from heaven
Grace will always be enough

For me

The Hope of Heaven

Leave a reply

It may seem far away to you

So your not in any hurry

Your lie is going on just fine

So you don’t need to worry

 

But Jesus said the hour is near

And no one knows the day

That He will come with trumpet sound

To take His own away

 

So if you don’t know Him as your Lord

It’s urgent that you ask Him

To come into your heart today

If you ask, He’ll come in

 

And you will have that peace of  mind

That you are not alone

He’ll give you hope for all of time

And heaven will be your home

One day every knee will bow

In heaven and in earth

And every tongue will confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord

 

It matters not what they believed

While living on this earth

They must acknowledge He is Lord

For all the world to see

 

And those who served Him here below

Will then a mansion gain

But those who chose another road

A fire awaits them

 

As for me I’ll sing His praise

As long as I have breath

For He’s the one who gave His life

So I’d be free from sin

 

Oh, the great, great love of God

Who sent His only Son

To die and take my sin away

And rose to give me life

 

Oh the great. Great love of God

Who looks down from above

And helps me every day I live

To grow in grace and truth

 

I’ll lift my praise Hosanna

Glory to the King

Highest Hallelujahs

Praise His mighty name

 

Praise and adoration

To Jesus Christ my Lord

Worthy of my highest praise

Now and evermore.

 

Passing Grades

Leave a reply

Every day we face them

Tests to help us grow

Hopefully were ready

With what we need to know

Because passing grades define you

In the eyes of this old world

Each test will bring us closer

In the end we reach our goal.

 

More important then the testing

Is the subject we have picked

There’s one topic that we must pass

If we want to fully live

Four questions, answered right

Will a passing grade be given

Four questions that will change you

And ready you for heaven

 

Is Jesus Christ your Savior?

Have you asked Him to forgive?

Have you turned away from your sin?

Are you living to please him?

If you answered yes to all

Your salvation is assured

then you get the passing grade

And eternity in heaven

Will be your resting place
