His Love Will Always Come Through

by Pete, posted in Poetry

I sing of the mercy and the grace of Jesus
How He gives them freely and changes my life
My provider my protector my refuge and fortress
My shelter in storm and in darkness my light

I sing of His peace and His joy overflowing
How He gives me hope that fills up my soul
He calms all my doubts and takes worry away
His plan for my future will be evermore

But it’s His love His sweet love that I cherish
A love that is lasting and true
Even if I should fail
Or if I should fall
His love will always come through

I sing of the Spirit He gives me abundant
The Comforter sweet that’s always beside
He teaches me truth and leads me through trouble
In times of decision He is my guide

I can depend on all of these things
No matter what my come or go
His great faithfulness will be my comfort
Everywhere I go

But it’s His love His sweet love that I cherish
A love that is lasting and true
Even if I should fail
Or if I should fall
His love will always come through
Even if I should fail
Or if I should fall
His love will always come through

I Chose Jesus

by Pete, posted in Poetry

When I was young I made a lot of choices
Some good, some bad and some fell in between
I really didn’t know
Which way that I should go
I wandered through my life quite aimlessly

Through drugs and alcohol my journey took me
Wild women and a lot of lonely nights
I couldn’t find my way
Sank lower every day
Until I couldn’t see the dark from light

Then an old friend invited me to visit
Across the country travelling I went
It’s then I met his friend
On whom he did depend
I made a choice that’s been mine ever since

I chose Jesus
From a missionaries’ words
I chose Jesus
He convinced me I was lost
I chose Jesus
I had no desire to live my life that way
I chose Jesus
He has filled me with His love
I chose Jesus
His sweet spirit leads the way
I chose Jesus
Now I choose Him each and every day

Now I have a wife and family beside me
Many friends encourage me along the way
With Jesus as my choice
He is my inner voice
I strive to take in very word He says

I choose Jesus
As the one that I will love
I choose Jesus
He will guide me from above
I choose Jesus
I will follow Him wherever He may lead
I choose Jesus
Won’t you come along with me
I choose Jesus
Make Him the one you seek
I choose Jesus
He will fill all your desires and your needs

Captured

by Pete, posted in Poetry

I’m captured by His awesome grace
That He would gladly take my place
Upon the cross, my sins erased
By His amazing grace

I’m captured by His mercy grand
That He did formulate a plan
To come and ransom all of man
By His mercy grand

How captivating is His love
Creator reaching from above
To bring His children home
My heart leaps out to give Him praise
I worship Him with hands upraised
For He made haven my home

I’m captured by His endless love
Before I knew Him it did come
His spirit drew me, gentle dove
By His endless love

He fills me with His peace
He fills me with His joy
He fills my heart with hope
He builds me up in faith
He’s always there for me
Wherever I may go
What a mighty God
What a mighty God

How captivating is His love
Creator reaching from above
To bring His children home
My heart leaps out to give Him praise
I worship Him with hands upraised
For He made haven my home

He Calls To Me

by Pete, posted in Poetry

There’s a voice that calls out to me when I’m afraid
He says don’t you worry, I heard you pray
I will be with you to carry you through
Every trial you face

Times can get lonely here on this earth
Often times I just don’t feel I’m much worth
It is then that His voice whispers soft in my ear
I gave up my Son for you

When I am down
When I’m left out
When I am weakest
I give a shout
A grand shout of praise
To my Lord up above
I know He’ll hear me
And show me His love

The days of my journey often bring tests
Somedays I feel like I hardly get rest
If I listen closely I’ll hear His voice
Come unto me, my child

He’ll hold me up in His wonderful arms
Tell me He loves me as He brings a calm
He’ll carry me through those difficult days
When I abide in Him

He loves me
He cares for me
He is my Lord
He holds me
He speaks to me
Him I adore

When I am down
When I’m left out
When I am weakest
I give a shout
A grand shout of praise
To my Lord up above
I know He’ll hear me
And show me His love

My Guardian

by Pete, posted in Poetry

Through sunshine or rain
Sorrow or pain
You are there for me

Through laughter and tears
In faith or in fears
You are there for me

No matter the time
No matter the place
No matter the attitude
I might display
I have the assurance
Deep down in my soul
That you will be there with me

Jesus my guardian
Jesus my friend
Keeps me from danger
Forgives my sin
Watches o’er me
Like an eagle her nest
Always brings to me
That which is best

In good times and bad
In joy or when sad
You are there for me

In living or death
In this life and next
You are there for me

No matter the day
No matter the hour
No matter the mess I’m in
You show your power
And when I can’t seem
To find a way out
I know you are there with me

Jesus my guardian
Jesus my friend
Keeps me from danger
Forgives my sin
Watches o’er me
Like an eagle her nest
Always brings to me
That which is best

The River of Grace

by Pete, posted in Poetry

I stood by the banks of the river
The river of God’s great grace
It flowed from His throne in heaven
Right down to the human race

All were invited to enter
This stream of His endless love
His grace was poured out to us all
When He gave His only Son

What an act of mercy
What an act of love
What a mighty God we serve
Who loves us all so much
He created us to praise Him
And to walk with Him each day
I love to stand amid the flow
In the river of His grace

So many souls are searching
For something more in life
They’ve tried all kinds of different ways
But are not satisfied

If only they would realize
This awesome truth I share
There is a God in heaven
That longs to bring them care

A simple prayer is all it takes
To enter His embrace
Just ask Him for forgiveness
And step into His grace

Jesus, mighty Savior
My sins I now confess
Forgive me, please, I ask today
Come take away this mess
I promise I will turn away
From sin that rules my life
I’ll make you Lord of all my heart
Until the day I die

What an act of mercy
What an act of love
What a mighty God we serve
Who loves us all so much
He created us to praise Him
And to walk with Him each day
I welcome you to stand with me
In the river of His grace

I Celebrate

by Pete, posted in Poetry

I celebrate the mercy of the Lord
He overlooks my faults and all my past
When I come to him
His arms will take me in
I celebrate the mercy of the Lord

I celebrate the grace He shows to me
The blessings that he gives abundantly
There’s nothing I deserve
So Him alone I serve
I celebrate the grace He shows to me

What an awesome Savior
What a glorious King
He looks upon me as if I’m His child
I lift my hands in worship
I lift my voice in praise
Up to my Lord, my God, my everything

I celebrate the way He loves me so
He never leaves me lonely or distressed
He gives me peace within
I owe my life to him
I celebrate the love He shows to me

I celebrate my soon and coming King
Who promised He’d return to take me home
When He does appear
We’ll meet Him in the air
Our heavenly home awaits us over there

What an awesome Savior
What a glorious King
He looks upon me as if I’m His child
I lift my hands in worship
I lift my voice in praise
Up to my Lord, my God, my everything

I Lift Your Name

by Pete, posted in Poetry

It gives me great joy to see you this way
With a smile on your face at the end of the day
For you took the time to seek Him and pray
That’s why you had a wonderful day

There’s peace in my heart when you are so blessed
He brought us both out of a terrible mess
He fills us both up with His righteousness
Let’s worship Him now with words those will bless

Blessed Jesus, Lord of all
Blessed Jesus, King of all
Blessed Jesus, Savior to all
I lift your name
Your wonderful name
I lift your name on high

I smile when I think of all He has done
To give us this day of victory won
For both of us have a song we have sung
Of loving the Savior, God’s only Son

Came for us
Lived for us
Died for us
Rose for us

Came for us
Lived for us
Died for us
Rose for us

Blessed Jesus, Lord of all
Blessed Jesus, King of all
Blessed Jesus, Savior to all
I lift your name
Your wonderful name
I lift your name
Your wonderful name
I lift your name
Your wonderful name on high

He Gave

by Pete, posted in Poetry

He gave us His peace
His wonderful peace
Our hearts can be free and untroubled
It’s deep within us
Changing our lives
Keeping us free from all doubt

He gave us His joy
Unspeakable joy
We rejoice in the good and bad times
It’s bubbling inside
Just wanting to thrive
Spreading joy to so many lives

Oh, what a Savior
Oh, what a friend
Who would give these remarkable gifts
I’ll lift His name
His wonderful name
He is worthy of all I can give

He showed us His love
When He died in that tree
To redeem us from all of our sin
Now let’s spread that love
To all those who need love
Bring them peace and joy settled within

Each day of our lives
God’s love forgives us
A gift of His mercy and grace
What greater gift
Than the gift of forgiveness
Can we give to our neighbors and friends

Oh, what a Savior
Oh, what a friend
Who would sacrifice His life for me
I’ll give Him my life
And all the other do
Then He’ll make me all I can be
