When I need a smile, you are there
When I wake up in the morning
When I go to sleep at night

When I need some sunshine

For He has brought a friend like you help me on my way

Surrounded by the Glory

I’m surrounded by the glory of the Lord
He’s in the still of night
In the stars so bright
I’m surrounded by the glory of the Lord
He’s in everything I see

For His glory overwhelms His creation
His glory is above the universe
His glory brings the heavens down on it’s knees
In surrender to our soon and coming King

His glory and His majesty timeless
Throughout all history they do proclaim
That the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
Are right here beside me everyday

I’m surrounded by the glory of the Lord
He’s in the still of night
In the stars so bright
I’m surrounded by the glory of the Lord
He’s in everything I see

Oh, the glory.  Oh, the splendor
Oh, the majesty overwhelms me
Oh, the glory.  Oh the splendor
His love always there for me

Honor and Glory and Praise

He forgives all my transgressions
And He takes away all my sin
He removes them as far as the east from the west
I can trust my life to Him

He delivers me out of my troubles
He gives peace what the storms come in
Not a day goes by that He’s not by my side
I can trust my life to Him

I give honor and glory and praise
I give honor and glory and praise
To the Lamb who was slain
And the King who was raised
I give honor and glory and praise

Astounding Grace

Leave a reply 
I am not forsaken.  I will not give up
I found my strength in Jesus. He is enough
Though Satan storms against me I will not turn aside
I will stand strong in the battle with Jesus by my side

It seems old Satan tries every means he can
To turn me from my Savior so I will trust in man
I will not be deceived by all His trickery
I’ll turn my heart to God for He’s my victory

Right now I call on Jesus and all the host of heaven
To come and hold me up in the comfort of His hand
The enemy seems strong but God is stronger still
I’ll fight on through this trial and heed my Saviors will

And when I gain the victory I’ll lift my hands in praise
To my precious loving Father who filled me with His grace
I’ll worship Him for giving me the mercy that I need
When Satan comes against me I’ll be found down on my knees

On my knees to pray for deliverance each day
On my knees to offer up my life to Jesus way
On my knees to praise Him for Her will show the way
On my knees before His throne astounded by His grace

For victory can only come when I am on my knees
The enemy is helpless when my cries to God increase
And even if it seems that my prayers have not been heard
I will stay down on my knees and trust His holy word

I know He won’t forsake me.  I know He won’t depart
I know that His great joy and peace will come and soothe my heart
I know without a doubt that all things work for good 
I know that Jesus loves me and my prayers He understood

Thank you Lord for giving me this peace within my soul
Thank you Lord for mercy when the devil seemed so bold
Thank you Lord for showing me your astounding grace
This day and every day I will lift your name in praise

Lamb of God Slain

Leave a reply 
He lays on the altar.  His spirit gives in
He cries out forgive them.  He takes all my sin
He carries if far as the west from the east
I’m no longer bound.  The Lamb set me free

Lamb of God slain.  Lamb of God slain
For the sins of the world
Lamb of God slain.  Lamb of God slain
For the sins of the world

He lays in the grave. Three days pass Him by
Then He arose. The Lamb is alive

Lamb of God risen. Lamb of God risen
He’ll come back again
Lamb of God risen. Lamb of God risen
He’ll come back again

We’ll rise to meet Him on clouds in the air
To the Lamb of our God we lift up our praise
Blessing and glory and honor and power
We lift up our praise.  We lift up our praise

Lamb of God slain.  Lamb of God slain
For the sins of the world
Lamb of God slain.  Lamb of God slain
For the sins of the world

Lamb of God risen. Lamb of God risen
He’ll come back again
Lamb of God risen. Lamb of God risen
He’ll come back again

We lift up our praise to the Lamb of God slain
We lift up our praise when he comes back again
Blessing and glory and honor and power
We lift up our praise.  We lift up our praise
Jesus Life

Happily Ever After

Leave a reply 
Once upon a time there was a Savior
Who came down from the heavens high above
He came a humble babe
And in a manger lay
He came to teach us of His Father’s love 

He walked upon the earth and brought deliverance
The common people flocked to hear him speak
But man of high estate
Thought death would be His fate
They convinced the people that His life was fake

This Savior was condemned to cruel death
They whipped Him so His blood ran crimson red
Then they nailed Him to a tree
Thinking they had victory
They’d be rid of Him once His flesh was dead

Then on that cross He spoke some words that traveled
Down through the course of man for all of time
He said father forgive them
For they know not what they do
Then he bowed His head and silently He died

The men of high estate were quite elated
The man they couldn’t stand was finally gone
But three days after death
He rose again to life
Bringing happily ever after to us all

This little verse may seem a fairy tale
But it is true and Jesus lives today
Just give your life to Him
And He’ll forgive your sin
Then for all time you will reign and live with Him

Jesus Came A Calling

Leave a reply 
There was a time that I was wandering deep in sins despair
I had no hope to live for and I really did not care
I’d almost given up on this misery of mine
Then Jesus came a calling and stepped into my life

What a change took place that day when Jesus rescued me
From a sinner who was perishing to a soul that was set free
I looked up to the heavens and raised my hands up high
To give praises to my Savior for His eternal life

Praise the one who came to give His life for mine
Praise the Lord of heaven who came to earth to die
Took on the form of man to face a cruel death
Nailed upon the cross and gave His final breath

All my sin and shame was nailed upon that tree
I give praise to my Savior who bled and died for me
But that was not the end of His mission and His plan
In three days He rose to glory so that I could live again

I will take the life He’s given me and live it for my Lord
I will follow His commandments and read His holy word
Each day I’ll lift my praises to the one that I adore
My resurrected Savior, Jesus Christ my Lord

His Presence Is All I Need

Leave a reply 
I cried to the Lord in my weakness
He heard me and rescued me
Out of the darkness
Into the light
His presence is all I need

He heard me in my tribulation
His mercy uplifted me
Up from the valley
Out of my plight
His presence is all I need

When He’s near me I feel His glory
When He’s near me I know His peace
When He’s near me His joy overwhelms me
His presence is all I need

What a wonderful thing is His presence
My Savior is near to me
What a joy to abide in amazing grace
His presence is all I need

I will rest today and not worry
Sweet Jesus will walk with me
He has promised He’ll never forsake me
His presence is all I need

For Such A Time As This

Leave a reply 
When times are tough and life is hard God knows our deepest need
He finds a way to come to us when we are on our knees
Our prayers reach up to heaven and reach His waiting ears
Then He comes like lightning and settles all our fears

I may be in a battle, but God will break on through
I may be deep in trouble, but His word is always true
He’ll bring someone along in the times we least expect
A soothing voice to calm my heart when I simply cannot rest

Who knows if we are not here for such a times as this?
To fill a space inside our hearts that we had surely missed
I’m not sure what His plan is but I thank Him night and day
That we have found each other as we walked along the way

I know that God is with me and I know He cares for you
I know He guides my life to courses always true
I know That all He does will turn out for my good
So, it must be that that I was sent to be a friend to you

I do not know your story.  I do not know your pain
I only know that Jesus cares to lift you up again
He wants to bring you out of a dark and lonely place
So you will rise to new life with a smile on your face

Take joy that Jesus saw you and used a simple game
He heard your prayers in silence and answered in His way
Don’t worry for tomorrow.  Don’t fret for what’s to come
Just place your life in His hands.  The battle has been won

Your Mansion

Leave a reply 
As I rode the clouds to heaven there was no surprise
The see Jesus waiting there when I arrived
Clothed in royal splendor, adorned by love and grace
I fell down on my knees as I gazed into His face

CHORUS
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, much to be adored
Clothed in royal splendor.  High above all things
Majesty on High.  Jesus King of Kings

He said your mansions ready.  Come and dine with me
The table is already for the royal marriage feast
The wedding of the bridegroom and His long-awaited bride
My church has entered in top their eternal life

CHORUS

Then He took me by the hand and walked me down the street
Gold was all round us as His love enveloped me
Scores of angels followed singing praises to His name
I couldn’t help but join them as they praised the risen Lamb

CHORUS (2 times)
