1 Reply

How do I love you, Lord?

Let me try and count the ways

There are so many things I thank you for

And I give you all my praise

 

I love you as the creator

You gave us all that we see

You provided a world where we can live

Such a marvelous place to be

 

I love you as my provider

I have no need that you can meet

You watch out for me and care for me

Every day your grace is so sweet

 

I love you for you are my healer

When I’m hurt I can trust in you

I never should doubt or fear the result

For I know you will bring me through

 

I love you for all of the blessings

That flow out to me so many ways

I cannot begin to count all the times

You have touched me day to day

 

I love you for you are my Savior

You shed your blood to set me free

And you rose again to give eternal life

I’m in awe of your great mercy

 

There are so many ways I love you

For all the things that you’ve done

My praise will continue for all of my days

Because my victory you’ve won

 

But above all these things I love you

Just because of who you are

You are Lord of all Lords forever

I am constantly in awe

 

And I will lift my praises

No matter what life brings

Because you are seated in heaven

And are crowned King of all Kings

His Amazing Love

Higher than the mountains

Wider than the oceans

Deeper than the canyons

That’s His love for me

 

Purer than spring water

Makes us sons and daughters

Fills our heart with wonder

That’s His love for me

 

What amazing love He has for me

When He gave His life on Calvary

He left His royal throne

To come and die alone

All so I could be set free

 

Always sends His blessings

Joy that’s never ending

Fills me so my heart sings

That’s His love for me

 

Peace that calms my heart’s cry

Guides me safely through trials

His Spirit teaches me life

That’s His love for me

 

What amazing love He has for me

He rose from death and lives again

And one day He’ll return

To bring me home with Him

To a mansion He’s prepared just for me

 

What amazing love He has for me

I can only lift my voice and sing

Jesus is His name

I’ll give all my praise

Forever He will be my Lord and King

Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by

A week of toil and labor
Has left my spirit dry
My daily meditation
Has silently slipped by
I need a restoration
Of my spirit here today
So open up the heavens
As I lift my voice in praise

I enter in the church door.
And I hear the choir sing
Amazing grace how see the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I marvel at God’s mercy
And I feel my spirit soar
Hallelujah is the chorus
That the choir has in store

Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by

The congregation sings
And they lift their worship high
I can feel the Spirit moving
As King Jesus passes by
My spirit is uplifted
I feel revival here
Being in thus corporate worship
Is exactly what I need

So I lift my voice to praise Him
That He brought me to this place
There’s no substitute for worship
With the saints who seek His face

Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by

My Past Has Passed

2 Replies

Your love is more than I can fathom
Your hope is way beyond compare
I can’t imagine why you chose to save me
When all I did was mock your name

When I fall into sin you send mercy 
When trials come around you lend grace
I see your hand surround me when I wander
And gently lead me back to your embrace

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I have been blessed by the joy that you give

It overwhelms me each day that I live

Your peace is a river that flows slow and free

I am so thankful that you have blessed me

 

When sickness of pain should enter my life

I know that you’ll heal me in your chosen time

And if I should lose someone real close to me

I know that your spirit will comfort my grief

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I can’t praise you enough for what you have done

Or for what you are going to do

So I yield control to your marvelous plan

And I lift my worship to you

Wondrous God

Can I get a witness for our God most high

He made this lovely planet just for you and I

Then He rose to heaven.  He’s alive again

Who guides us every day if the Son we chose

He guides us to the truth, keeps us on our toes

Oh what a wondrous God we serve

 

I will lift His name on high

I’ll shout it out to all the sky

And share it with the passers-by

What a wondrous God

I’ll live for Him all of my days

And do my best to show His ways

To all who I may reach each day

What a wondrous God

 

Wonderful He is to me

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
