This is an older recording of a song I wrote about 5 years ago. I realized I had not posted this yet, so decided to this morning. Hope you enjoy. To see more songs go to http://petegardner.net and click on My YouTube Channel
This is a new chorus the Lord gave me yesterday. Hope you enjoy it!
Here are the words.
What else can I do but to worship you
What else can I say but give you praise
What else can I offer you but this life you’ve given me
All I have is yours Oh Lord
All of my heart
All of my soul
All of my spirit take control
All of my heart
All of my soul
All of my spirit take control
Open me up Lord so others may see
The love that you’ve placed inside of me
Open my heart and mind and soul
That I may show joy to young and old
Open my eyes to see the pain
That others are facing again and again
Open me up Lord to let you shine
The light of the world for all of time
Open me heart Lord to help the lost
To let them known that you paid the cost
Open my mind to understand
What words it will take to reveal your plan
I want to be open to follow your way
I need to be open to your will today
I vow to be open to others in need
I promised to love them in word and deed
Open me. Open me. Open me Lord
Open me up to witness for you
Open me up to touch those for you
Open me up as a light for you
Open me Lord. Open me for you
You have a choice to make
You better not be late
It’s heaven or hell
Your choice will tall
Where you will go forever and a day
Christ Jesus died for you
But there’s some things you must do
Confess your sin
Repent within
Ask His forgiveness from a heart that’s true
Then ask Him to be Lord
Make Him the one adored
He will forgive
And You will live
Forever with the saints who’ve gone befre
If you decide to pass
Your joy will never last
You’ll find yourself
Burning in hell
Satan’s minions torturing our flesh
You have a choice to make
You better not be late
It’s heaven or hell
Your choice will tall
Where you will go forever and a day
It will never be enough
No matter what I do
To pay you back for what you’ve done for me
I can’t even count the cost
That you redeemed that day
When you gave your life away at Calvary
Bruised and beaten crowned with thorns
Nails put in your feet and hands
You suffered for my sins upon that tree
Then you rose up from the grave
Forever you will be with me
Oh what wondrous love you have shown to me
What can I do but praise you
What can I do but worship your sweet name
Hallelujah
What can I do but thank you
For all the blessings you have given me
Hallelujah
You are my Lord forever
You are my friend forever
You are my King forever
Bless your holy name
Bless your holy name
What can I do but praise you
What can I do but worship your sweet name
Hallelujah
What can I do but thank you
For all the blessings you have given me
Hallelujah
Shining
Brightly shining
From the sky above
Down to earth below
Every day
The sun’s rays stream down
From so far away
To touch us all
To heat us all
To give us sight
The light reveals colors
In its prismatic glow
Radiating energy and warmth
Even when the clouds appear
Seemingly blocking it out
The warmth still comes
The light still comes
It cannot be quenched
It cannot be darkened
It cannot be stopped
From rising each day
At the appointed time
And setting the same
With brilliance
And majesty
It shines from the heavens
Through all the earth
Unrelenting
Unceasing
So is God’s love
It always shines
Touching us all
With His mercy
And amazing grace
His love is pure and kind
Patient and not envious
His love always seeks our best
Always finds a way
Through every trial
Every test
Every temptation
His love
Never leaves us
Never forsakes us
Always shines its glory on us
Though He is King of Kings
And Lord of Lords
He still loves a sinner like me
He still loves me
When I lose my way
Nothing can separate me from His love
Not mountains or valleys
Not rivers or oceans
Not heaven or hell
Not forces of the spiritual realm
They have no power over His love
His love is always there
Unrelenting
Unceasing
I can’t imagine what I’d do without you
You fill up all my days with Joy and peace
And when I am afraid
You send your precious race
To give me rest and set my mind at ease
I never will go anywhere without you
Your Spirit guides me down the path of life
And if I go astray
You gently show the way
To get me back where I can walk the line
Oh precious Savior
Oh wondrous Lord
You give me victory
In this old world
My life is yours, Lord
I’ll always be
Safe in your arms
For all eternity
I never will do anything without you
You give me wisdom for the trials of life
And if I should mess up
Your mercy is enough
To gently guide me through every time
You show me and you lead me
Guide me and precede me
You carry me
You rescue me
You’re everything to me
Oh precious Savior
Oh wondrous Lord
You give me victory
In this old world
My life is yours, Lord
I’ll always be
Safe in your arms
For all eternity
When I lift up my hands
And lift up my voice in praise
I can sense your sweet spirit
And feel your amazing grace
I will honor you
And worship your holy name
Jesus you’re all to me
My loving Savior
Jesus, my Lord and King
Jesus, my everything
I will love and adore you
Bow down before you
Your praise I’ll gladly sing
Jesus my Lord and King
I love you
That’s why I offer my praise
This day
He’s the best
He can pass any test
He’s above all the rest
He’s the best
When I need healing
When life is reeling
When sins appealing
He’s the best
When peace is gone
When I’m alone
When life goes wrong
He’s the best
He’s the best for my soil
The best for my spirit
The best for the depths of my heart
He’s the best for my health
The best for deliverance
The best for my days from the start
So I’ll trust in Jesus
I’ll run to Him
I’ll give my life to Him
Make Him my Lord
Because when all is done
He’s the best
When it seems all is lost
And I feel all alone
That’s when I come crawling to you
When my sorrow grows dark
And my peace disappears
That’s when I come crawling to you
I can feel you draw near me
I can sense your sweet grace
That’s when I come walking to you
In the still of the night
Is the sound of your voice
That’s when I come walking to you
In your presence is mercy
Your face is all love
That’s when I come running to you
The closer I draw
The more wonders I feel
That’s when I come running to you
Then your joy overtakes me
Your peace rests my soul
That’s when I come leaping to you
My voice singing praises
To your wondrous name
That’s when I come leaping to you
I come crawling
I come walking
I come running
I come leaping
Whatever the trial
Whatever the test
I’ll always come back to you
The Psalmist
