All Through The Day

Leave a reply

When I open my eyes every morning

I rejoice that I’m still alive

And I give praise to Jesus my Savior

Who has saved me and gave me new life

 

When  I rise from my bed every morning

I feel that I am so blessed

That I still have the strength to be mobile

And to rise up after my rest

 

When I eat that good meal in the morning

I praise God for all He gives

For He’s the provider of all I have

And His love is why I exist

 

All through the day I praise Him

I worship His arms which embrace

For He opens my eyes to see Him

And He gives His amazing grace

Songs From Above

Leave a reply

I sing my songs to Jesus.  Love songs just for Him

He purchased my salvation, so to Him my praise I bring

Songs of joy and gladness are in my heart today

He leads me by His truth and daily lights my way

 

I love the book of hymns that were written long ago

Amazing Grace, He’s Alive, It is Well With My Soul

I also like the new music so abundant out today

There’s a rising up in worship that I hope won’t go away

 

But more than anything I love the songs he gives to me

In middle of the night He opens up my eyes to sing

I sit down very calmly and he gives me every word

Then I put the rhythm to it, and His story is now heard

 

I’ll give you some examples of the words to these new songs

The melody you’ll have to guess, as a video I don’t have

I hope these words will touch your lives as they have touched mine

If nothing else I hope your blessed by the nice poetic rhyme

 

Song #1  I Want to Thank You Lord

 

I want to thank you, Lord, for your mercy in my life

I want to thank you Lord, for your great sacrifice

You have given me your all

Help me give my all to you

I want to thank you, Lord  (This part is sung three times)

 

You deserve the highest praise

You deserve the highest praise

You deserve the highest praise

My heart can give (This part is sung twice, then close with the first part)

 

Song #2  We Lift You Up

 

(softly and soulfully)

As we come into your presence

And we turn our hearts to you

We out aside our care if earthly things

We have come to seek your kingdom

And we long for righteousness

Precious Lord, we want to glorify your name

 

We lift you up, we lift you up

We lift you up, Oh Lord, and praise your holy name

We lift you up, we lift you up

Come and draw us near to you, we lift you up (back to top first time through)

 

(with much enthusiasm)

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord (Back to we lift you up, with gusto!)

 

There’s a few examples of the songs He’s given me

There are hundreds more He’s blessed me with

I hope He never stops waking me in dead of night

To share with me these love songs I can give

The Greatest Love Song

Leave a reply

I don’t think I will ever see

A love song start this way

When He gave up all of heavens praise

To come here as a babe

 

I don’t think I will ever know

A child who was so meek

He worked those years in Fathers shop

When He knew who He would be

 

Then the love song picks up tempo

As He’s baptized with such grace

The Holy Spirit declares His name

And He starts to show His face

 

Then He teaches for the next 3 years

The people flock to see Him

He brings healing and deliverance

And sets His fire within

 

But the love song takes a bitter tone

As the leaders plot against Him

And with the help of one of His own

They take Him and arrest Him

 

The music is so melancholy

As the crowd cries crucify

And they beat Him, mock Him, scourge Him

And nail Him up so high

 

But this is where the love song shows

His deepest love for me

As He cries out from the cross “Forgive”

And from sin He sets me free

 

And even though he bows His head

And dies at Calvary

The love song doesn’t end right there

One last stanza’s meant for me

 

For in three days He rose again

His spirit won’t depart

His love will keep Him at our side

As He lives inside our heart

 

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus

Oh the beauty of His plan

He has given all for me

Now He holds me in His hand

Oh the precious song He’s written

With His life so full of love

Tis the greatest love song written

Coming down from heaven above

New Salvation Song

Leave a reply

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.

Jesus Will Carry You

Leave a reply

When life’s got you down

And you feel out of place

Jesus will carry you

If you just feel alone

And your losing the race

Jesus will carry you

 

He’ll carry you through your trials

He’ll carry you through your storm

He’ll carry you through the valley

When everything seems to do harm

He’ll carry you into tomorrow

And He’ll stay right there by your side

Because He promised He’d never forsake you

And His promises always abide

 

So don’t get all down

And don;t be dismayed

Jesus will carry you

And when it’s all over

And your back on your feet

You can thank Him for carrying you

Only in You

3 Replies

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

 

 

Special to God

Leave a reply

I can’t imagine

A world without horses

Or dogs and cats

Or sharks and bass

I can’t imagine

A world without oceans

or rivers and streams

Or ponds and lakes

I can’t imagine

A sky without stars

Or sun and moon

Or clouds

All these things that God created

By His spoken word

For our pleasure

He provided for us before he even created us

Before He formed us from the dust of the earth

Before He breathed into us the breath of life

He formed us with His hands

All other things were spoken into existence

He still holds us in the palm of His hand

And He loves us above all His creation

We are special to God

You are special to God

Christ Alone

Awaken, my soul, and sing
To Jesus Christ my King
My voice will raise
To sing His praise
Let loud hosannas ring

Arise, my spirit, arise
Let my worship fill the skies
I will proclaim
His mighty name
Until my spirit dies

For He alone is worthy of the praises that I bring
He alone deserves to have my worship offering
Only Jesus will receive the words that I will sing
Christ alone.  Yes Christ alone.

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
