My Heavenly Father
I once had a Father on earth
Who I barely knew at all
He left us when I was young
And He hardly ever called
We would get a gift at Christmas
And a visit here and there
But through time I grew bitter
And didn’t even care.
The anger inside grew mighty
As I reached my teenage years
I got into things angered my mom
And had her often in tears
I could not find my way through life
I struggled just to survive
The time had to come to turn around
Or I might take my life
Then a friend from a long time ago
Came and told me a story I knew
But He told it in such a different way
I listened and heard the truth
I have a heavenly Father
Who loves me very much
A heavenly Father up above
Who came my heart to touch
He gave His own son
To die in my place
And covered my sin
With amazing grace
His mercy is greater
Than all my shame
He’ll live in my heart
And call me by name
And one day he’ll come
And take me home
To a life everlasting
Around His throne
I love my heavenly Father
He takes care of all my needs
My heavenly Father
He’ll always be there for me
Love Inescapable
Again
High Above
True Worship
Sometimes Hallelujah does it
Sometimes Praise the Lord
But I find worship not just words
It takes in so much more
Jesus said to feed the poor
And help all those in need
This command is just as strong
As praying on our knees
He asked us His grace to show
To all we see each day
Yet often when that grace should show
We turn and walk away
Jesus said forgive them all
Our enemies and friends
But we hold grudges endlessly
And waste in bitterness
When will we learn that kind and gentle
Is our Savors hope?
When will we learn our highest aim
Is the lowest road?
When will we learn humility
Is His wish for us?
When will we learn His Spirit’s voice
And in Him put our trust?
So come on church lets rise and sing
With voices raised up high
And let’s be servants every time
A need should come on by
Your Mighty Name
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
You Promise
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
The Way of Love.
