More of Him

Leave a reply

This world goes after power

Fame and fortune is their goal

They often buy things they cannot afford

And in the end they’re empty

None of these can satisfy

The emptiness that lives within their soul

 

I have found that living

In this world is quite a test

Day to day the choices are a chore

But this one thing I realize

Can settle my heart down

All I need is more of my Lord

 

More of Him in the morning

Before the breaking dawn

When darkness rules the skies in all the land

The silence is so quiet

I can listen for His voice

I can hear Him whisper all of His sweet plans

 

More of Him at daybreak

When morning gilds the skies

Golden beauty lines the clouds above

The sun peeks out in splendor

Reminding everyone

That this day will be filled with God’s love

 

More of Him in the daytime

As I work to earn my way

He guides me step by step in my pursuits

I honor Him and praise Him

From the bottom of my heart

He keeps reminding me of His great truths

 

More of Him at sunset

When day is growing short

He paints His awesome clouds so brilliantly

I want Him to draw closer

As the light fades into dark

The picture in the clouds goes quietly

 

More of Him at nighttime

When I lay my head to rest

His spirit holds my heart so tenderly

Every day I’ve spend with Him

The more I come to know

That more of Him is all I really need

The Only Name

Leave a reply
I will lift His name
High above all names
Emmanuel,  God with us
The highest praise
To His lovely name
Savior,  Messiah
Jesus Christ
There is no other name
That commands the heavens
He put the stars in place
By His spoken word
There is no other name
That contains the oceans
He draws a line where waves
Come crashing forth.
There is no other name
From which demons flee
They run and hide away
Never to return
There is no other name
By which blind men see
Darkness turns into day
When His voice is heard
Jesus, the only name
That can set me free
From the debt of sin
He brings victory
Jesus, the only name
That can heaven bring
Gives eternal life
By His suffering

 

I will lift His name
High above all names
Emmanuel,  God with us
The highest praise
To His lovely name
Savior,  Messiah
Jesus Christ

So Much More

Leave a reply
What can I bring as an offering
To Jesus, who gave His all?
What is the proper expression
That would not be considered too small?
How can I even begin to show
The depth of my grateful heart?
There’s only one way I can think of
That’s to give Him my praise from the start.
I’ll open my lips and sing
The praises of Christ the King
He’s given me everything
And so much more
I’ll lift up my hands to His throne
Adoring the love He has shown
He made me His very own
And so much more
I’ll lift up my eyes to His face
His beauty I will embrace
He keeps me safe in this place
And so much more
One thing above all I must bring
My life as an offering
I must give Him everything
And so much more

He Took and He Gave

Leave a reply
When He died upon the cross that day
His love came down through time
He gathered all my sins away
And replaced them with His life
He took my unforgiveness
My bitterness and grief
And showed me what forgiveness really means
For I was undeserving
Of the mercy He gave me
Now I try to understand my brothers needs
He took my doubts and fears
Of who I really was
And showed me His great plan to change my life
For I was wandering aimless
Never touching anyone
Now I help the lost to change their lives
He took my insecurity
Of what the future holds
And showed me there’s a hope for all of time
For I was wasting all my time
On dead end pursuits
Now i can truly know that heaven will be mine
He took my lousy attitude
And the venom my mouth spewed
And showed me that His joy could overcome
For I was only happy
When things would go my way
Now this joy always reminds me He has won
He took away my anger
At all the hurts Ihad endured
And showed me that to love is so much more
For I was always lonely
And was closed off deep inside
Now I try to make myself an open door
The change He made in my life
Didn’t happen overnight
In fact He still has so much work to do
But one thing that I know
Is when I asked Him in my heart
My life became much better through and through

Start With Praise

If you want to have
A great day
I suggest that you
Start with praise
God is worthy of
Every word you have to say
Maybe music is
What you need
To get out of bed
On your feet
Set your radio
So your heart awakes to beat
Because praise will
Lift your spirit
Worship will
calm your worries
Putting Him first
Will bring you peace
So put your
Whole heart in it
Don’t let your world
Or your duties
Crowd out the praise
That puts your mind at ease
Singing Hallelujahs
Glory to the King
Hallelujahs
Lord of Everything
Glory,  glory
Savior of the world
Glory, glory
Giver of the word
Holy, holy
Perfect sacrifice
Holy, holy
Died to give me life
Loud Hosannas
Rose again that day
Loud Hosannas
Gave us power to pray
So many ways to praise Him
So many things He’s done
So don’t forget to start each day

 

By singing of His love!

I Will

I will praise Him
No matter how I feel
I will give Him glory
Because His love is real
I will praise Him
Every single day
Worship Him forever
Lift His Holy name
If I praise Him just for blessings
My praise will oft fall short
Because some days just bring trials
It’s a promise from His word
If I praise Him just for healing
There’ll be times I’ll not sing out
Because illness can be lingering
And it may just steal my shout
But when I praise Him just because
He’s the Lord of heaven and earth
There is nothing that can blind me
To all that He is worth
He is more than blessings
More than healings,
More than life.
He’s the great creator
Of the earth
And all the skies.
So the next time tour day isn’t
What you planned for it to be
Just lift your hands and praise Him
And His glory you shall see
And all your trials and troubles
Will soon seem oh so small
The God of all creation
Is the master of them all.p

Awesome Grace

Leave a reply

I can’t imagine

What God will do today

Every day is a new miracle

When I trust His way

 

Nobody ever knows

The blessings that will come

When I yield to His spirit

And trust in His love

 

Today might bring trials

That challenge my faith

Designed so I’ll run

To His awesome grace

 

Sickness may come

In the midst of the night

Will I trust on His healing?

To end my plight?

 

Friends might desert me

And ruin my name

It’s then I need Jesus

To weather the pain

 

Days are not always

Blessings and joy

There are times in the valley

When we need to grow

 

So God allows these things

To strengthen our faith

If we’ll only just trust

In His awesome grace

Love Inescapable

Hard times hit us all
Even happy people fell
Even we have days that cause us harm
But when we get real low
We know just where to go
Back to our Father’s loving arms
He holds His arms out wide
He’s ever at my side
He’s there to pick me up when I fall down
And if I bruise my soul
He heals me ’til I’m whole
And sets my feet on solid ground
He loves me
More than anything
He loves me
So amazing
He loves me
Even when my love grows cold
He loves me
Through my troubled days
He loves me
When I’ve lost my way
He loves me
I cannot escape His love
His grace will cover me
Whenever I’m in need
His blessings come in every size and shape
His mercy overflows
My selfish, prideful soul
And helps those things to quietly escape
His sweet perfection slides
Into this heart of mine
Without me even knowing it’s His hand
And then one day I see
His humility in me
And I realize that this is what He planned
He loves me
He fills me with joy
He loves me
His peace is employed
He loves me
More than I can ever know
He loves me
I will sing His prsise
He loves me
I’ll worship His sweet name
He loves me
I cannot escape His love

 

Again

Leave a reply
Today the Lord had mercy on me
He kept away the enemy
And reminded me that I’m set free
Again
Today the Lord has blessed me much
All day I felt His spirits touch
His presence was around so much
Again
Today His grace filled me with peace
He gave my soul a sweet release
All day I felt calm and at ease
Again
Again and again He’s there for me
He always meets me at me need
He listens to my prayerful pleas
Again, and again, and again
Today He flooded me with love
As vast as all the stars above
And I can know that it will come
Again
Again His mercy will be mine
Again His blessing He’ll assign
Again He’ll give me grace each time
Again
But high above all these great things
The greatest gift that He does bring
Is His great love, of that I’ll sing

 

Again, and again and again

High Above

Leave a reply
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me
He sends His mercy to my side
Each time I trip and fall
Such mercy is too much for me
I don’t deserve it all
His grace pours blessing in my life
That overwhelms my soul
I can’t contain the gratitude
That He has made me whole
But greatest of the gifts He shows
Is His great love for me
He gave His life upon a cross
That day at Calvary
This love is so amazing
So wonderful and strong
That every moment I’m awake
I sing my worship song
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me
