A Little Smoother Now

I used to be clumsy with speech

I’d juggle and mess up my words

I liked to talk

And I wouldn’t balk

At saying things really absurd

 

I joined a group called Toastmasters

They taught me to speak really well

I now had a voice

And made the right choice

Of which words to use – it is swell!

 

 

Now I can speak so much smoother

I can share what’s important to me

The Lord Jesus Christ

Has transformed my life

And He wants to set you free!

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Clumsy

All

All to thee, my Savior

All to thee I give

I will lift my praise to you

As long as I shall live

 

All for you, my Savior

All my works for you

Everything I do on earth

Your glory will show through

 

All you ask, my Savior

All you ask of me

I will listen closely

Your voice is what I seek

 

And when the day is done

When the sun has gone to rest

I will lift my voice in song

So God will be most blessed

 

I’ll sing Hallelujah, Praise Him

Lift Hosannas to the sky

Praise and adoration

To the Lord most high

 

I’ll sing Holy is the Lord of Hosts

He’s the King of Kings

Glory to the Lamb of God

Lord of Everything

 

All my praise to you Lord

All my praise I give

I will worship you, my God

As long as I shall live

Keeping His Word

I remember when my kids were young

I’d make promises so fast

And the my work would swallow me

And the promise would not last

 

They’d get all disappointed

And they remembered every line

So when it came to teenage years

It was hard to get their time

 

God made His promises to us

And wrote them in His book

He always keeps those promises

We just have to take a look

 

So open up your bible now

And see what He has said

There’s a promise there for you today

And It will come true today.

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Promises

Every Time I Think

Every time I think about your grace, Lord

And how your blessings fall on me

I look up to the sky

A tear forms in my eye

As I lift my hands in praise to thee

 

Every time I think about your mercy

And the fact that you forgave all of my sin

My heart leaps in my chest

And my soul becomes so blessed

My worship comes from way down deep within

 

You are high above all others

You are greater than I know

You are more than mighty

You are more than worthy

Of the praise that I can show

 

So I will lift my voice and sing out

My worship song to all the earth

I’ll shout it all around

The streets of my small town

Until they all have heard the word

 

Every time I think about the hope, Lord

That you have put within my soul

I raise my eyes to heaven

Where soon I will be dwelling

You made it my eternal home

 

Every time I think about your love, Lord

And how you gave your life to set me free

I lift my voice in praise

To your mighty, glorious name

Because before I knew you, you loved me

 

You are high above all others

You are greater than I know

You are more than mighty

You are more than worthy

Of the praise that I can show

 

So I will lift my voice and sing out

My worship song to all the earth

I’ll shout it all around

The streets of my small town

Until they all have heard the word

The Resting Place

I need to find a resting place

Where troubles will all cease

It seems the daily battles rage

And I can’t find His peace

 

I long to find a resting place

Where healing will be mine

It seems this worn out body

Gets sorer all the time

 

I hope to find a resting place

Where doubt is cast aside

Where faith is all that rules

My heart and soul and mind

 

I’m searching for a resting place

Where I can dwell in peace

I need a calm, assuring voice

To end my worried speech

 

And when the day is over

And my rhyme is almost done

A small voice whispers in my ear

And now I can rejoice

 

Jesus is the resting place

That I am longing for

In His arms your comfort waits

Come and make Him yours

He’ll heal you and deliver you

And peace will flood your soul

And soon you’ll find a quiet rest

That soothes and makes you whole

 

Come into the resting place

Where peace is alt for you

Jesus is the resting place

He’s there awaiting you.

My Refuge That Lasts

I’m tired of the doubt that’s within me

That is welling up deep down inside

I want to have faith like a mustard seed

So I’ll know that this pain will subside

 

I’m tired of feeling this weakness

That my treatments have brought about

I want to have strength like an eagle

So I can His praises shout

 

I’m tired of being all cooped up

Inside my nice little home

I want to get out and be strong again

So once again I can roam

 

But I trust the Lord in all things

And I know He will bring me through

Right now the low point of my life

But soon He will miracles do

 

Until that day I’m delivered

From the weakness I currently have

I still will not cease to praise Him

For He is my refuge that lasts

 

So I will sing Hallelujah

Praise God from the depths of my heart

He is my Lord forever

From Him I will never depart

 

Oh what a wonderful Savior

He’s always right here with me

Oh what an awesome creator

He supplies all of my needs

 

I’ll always trust in His mercy

I’ll always lean on His grace

Until that wonderful, glorious day

That look upon His face.

Grace is Greater

His grace is greater
Than all my troubles
He watches o’er me
When I fall down

His grace is greater
Than all my weakness
He keeps me floating
When I could drown

His grace is greater
Than all my struggles
He walks beside me
When I’m alone

His grace is greater
Than my temptations
He speaks so softly
And gives me hope

Just enough for today
And not for tomorrow
Yesterday’s grace is gone
Day after day
Like the manna from heaven
I have to depend on Him

Grace, grace
Great grace
Greater than all my life could need
Grace, grace
God’s grace
Grace that is greater than anything

Draw Me To You

I’m running Lord

Running to you

Over the trials

I have to go through

 

I’m listening Lord

Listening for you

Speak to my Spirit

So I know what to do

 

I’m waiting Lord

Waiting for you

Bring me healing

When the time is good

 

I’m searching Lord

Searching for you

I’m lost in the way

But I’ll make it through

 

I’m ready Lord

Ready for you

To take my hand

And draw me to you

My King Forever

He is my all

My everything

He is the Lord

The King of Kings

He is my Rock

So now I sing

Praises to His name

 

He is the Lamb

Who gave His life

He came to be

My sacrifice

He rose to give

Eternal Life

I will praise His name

 

All glory and honor and power

Be unto His name

He is my King forever

He’ll always be the same

I lift His name

His wonderful name

I lift His name

His glorious name

I lift His name

The mighty name of Jesus, Jesus

 

He sits in heaven

He watches o‘er me

He sends the angels

To set guard by me

He will return

And take me home

To a mansion He prepared

 

I can no longer contain the praises of my lips

I have to shout from the mountains the love He has to give

So now I will sing at the top of my voice

In Jesus name I‘ll forever rejoice

I’ll sing His praise as long as I shall live

 

All glory and honor and power

Be unto His name

He is my King forever

He’ll always be the same

I lift His name

His wonderful name

I lift His name

His glorious name

I lift His name

The mighty name of Jesus, Jesus

Thoroughly Broken

 

 

 

Lost

Lost

Alone
Confused
Restless
Life out of control
That was me

Mind wasted
Body tested
Stomach molested
What a mess
Thoroughly Broken was I

Then
An old friend
A new story he told
About Jesus
Died just for me
On a tree

I asked Him In
Breakthrough to win
He is mine
I no longer was bound
He changed my life
Now I’m thoroughly alive
And I walk with Him all the time
