New Salvation Song

I can’t believe He loved me

Before I knew His Name

I can’t believe He’d save me

And take away my shame

I can’t believe He’d heal me

When I was sick or lame

But He did.  Yes, He did

 

I can’t believe He’d give me joy

To replace my sorry soul

I can’t believe the peace He left

When He made me whole

I can’t believe the hope inside

He shows me where I’ll go

But He did.  Yes, He did

 

He did it when He died for me

Upon the cross at Calvary

His sacrifice has set me free

From what my life had been

 

When I first heard His life’s story

I told myself how can this be

That anyone would die for me

And take away my sin

 

So I chose I would not believe

What the Bible said was free

That Jesus paid the price for me

And asked me to come in

 

Now I believe that all those things

I list above are what He brings

Into my life when I can sing

The new salvation song

 

So come with me and take my hand

I’ll take you to the promised land

And there you’ll find His loving plan

And you too will believe.

Get Busy

“What is your will, Lord” I asked Him today
As I knelt down this morning and started to pray
I want to know that I’ll walk in your way
For all the days of my life

“My will is that all will come to know me
Go into all of the world is my plea
Preaching the gospel and setting them free
My will has never changed ”

I bowed my head as I knew I’d done less
I hadn’t been doing His work to my best
And still He had seen that my life was blessed
I praised Him for His sweet grace

He said “Son, I am pleased with your life at this time

You have done a great work, many souls are now mine

Never believe that your light has not shined

Your testimony is sure”

 

“But I know there’s so much more I can do

To bring others along so they can know you

And save them from lives of eternal doom

Why have I been so laid back?”

 

I heard Him smile as He said “That is past

Remember the future is mine, and it lasts

So start today and give me your best

Get busy and preach the word”

 

Only in You

Only in you am I free, Lord

From all the sin in my life

You paid the price for my freedom

You became my sacrifice

 

Only in you is there peace, Lord

For my whole mind and soul

Even in times of trouble

You make my heart feel whole

 

Only in you is there joy, Lord

Not just a happy, cool place

You bring a blessing within me

That nobody can displace

 

Only in you is there love, Lord

Not just the lust of this world

You showed us your  compassion

And you taught us in your blessed Word

 

Only in you I reach heaven

You paved he way when you rose

Now I will live forever

Becuase it’s you I chose

 

 

Reach out to Jesus

I though success was in my grasp so any years ago

I had a good job, lots of friends, and always on the go

But soon I realized that I was on a troubled road

I had to turn around and start again

 

It was then I met Jesus, and my life turned upside down

I learned that His reach beckoned me to come to higher ground

And so I asked Him in my heart, His peace and joy I found

His blessings started flowing in my life

 

Now He asks me to reach out to others who need lost

To tell them their redemption’s near for He has paid the cost

They  simply need to reach out and accept Him at the cross

And they will realize His peace today

All is Well

It is well with my spirit
It is well with my Lord
I’ve been washed in the blood
I have been restored
A home in heaven
Will be my reward
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

It is well with my body
I am healed throughout
By the stripes on his back
Healing came about
And each day when I wake up
I will sing and shout
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

It is well in my mind
There’s no doubt or fear
For the thorns on His brow
Left His peace in there
And the faith I now have
Gives me cause to cheer
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

All is we all the time
When I have His grace
All is well all the time
When His mercy reigns
I can’t wait for the day
When I see His face
I’m in love,  I’m in love
With my Lord

It is well with my life
Since the day I prayed
Asking Jesus to hear me
So that I’d be saved
Now I know He is with me
Each and every day
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

 

All is well, all is well
With my Lord all the time
He has given me love
He has given me live
I will follow Him
All the days if my life
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

Heavens Door

I went through life when I was young

Aimlessly at best

Drugs and booze and sex  were found

And sober was a test

I thought I loved the life I lived

But one day realized

That all the things that I believed

Would soon turn into lies

 

Maybe if I’d turned away

From all the party life

And maybe if I’d told the truth

Instead of telling lies

And maybe if hadn’t stolen

Things throughout’t my life

I’d have a home in heaven

And things would be all right

 

But then I learned there’s just one way

To get through heaven’s door

Acepting Jesus as my Savior

Gets me there for sure

There are no maybes in Gods word

His promises endure

So ask Him in your heart today

And heaven will be yours

My Everything

Beautiful Savior

You are to me

Gave up your life

To set me free

I’ll be with you

For eternity

All because of your love

 

Wonderful counselor

You’re always there

To hear every heartache

And every prayer

Giving me counsel

Helping me hear

Wisdom that comes from above

 

Gracious redeemer

You give me hope

When I was lost

You made heaven my home

Took all my past

And washed it like snow

You have a plan for my life

 

Miraculous Healer

Of all my disease

Your blood was shed

To bring me your peace

Whether my body

Or mind is not eased

Your touch will calm ever fear

 

Marvelous friend

You’ll always be

Walking along

As you care for my needs

Often you carry me

When I am weak

You are my hero and Lord

 

Jesus, Oh Jesus

You’re my everything

Lord of all Lords

King of all Kings

From now and forever

Your praise I will sing

Since you came into my heart

My Lord, My Love, My Life

Constantly abiding

In Him I will stay

Bask in His love

Follow His way

Never to leave

His precious side

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

Amazing grace

He’s given to me

Paid all me debt

Then set me free

Out of the darkness

Into the light

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

The Old Rugged Cross

Is a vision of love

Total redemption

Sent from above

His precious blood

Shed there for mine

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

Great is His faithfulness

He’s always there

Sunrise to sunset

Answer my prayers

He walks beside me

In Him I’ll abide

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

It is well with my soul

When I call Him Lord

He is my Savior

Whom I adore

He gives me peace

When the world gives me strife

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

Just as I am

He accepts me each day

I’ll never be worthy

Of His awesome grace

He looks beyond

The flaws in my life

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

Child of the King

Only through Christ the blessings flow

Only through Christ will I ever know

The promise from Heaven He bestows

To all who call on His name

 

He bought me at such a great price

By becoming my precious sacrifice

Paying the debt of sin in my life

So that now I am redeemed

 

His blood wiped away all my sin

Now God will never bring it up again

It’s just as if I’d never sinned

Justified by His blood

 

No longer will sickness rule in my life

Because I am healed by the horrible stripes

Now I claim victory when evils rise

Delivered from pain and disease

 

My mind is now free from doubt and fear

The thorns that he wore brought a covering here

Now I can now he will always be near

Peace and Joy flood my life today

 

He opened the way to heaven for me

He calls me His son, and He says I am free

He sets me apart because I believed

Sanctified through the cross

 

He’s there for me in good times or bad

Giving me guidance that I never had

His Holy Spirit shows me His plan

To prosper my life every day

 

From now on I’ll praise Him with all of my heart

I’ll sing out my worship, I’ll never depart

His precious love has set me apart

I am a child of the King
