Sunday Morning

Sunday morning
I feel fine
I’ve got Jesus on my mind

He’s a real
Friend of mine
He is with me all the time

Gives me joy
Peace of mind
Looks at me with love divine

Hope that keeps
For all time
Home in heaven will be mine

How I love Him so
Jesus Lamb of God
Pardoned all my sin
Wraps me in His arms
Loves me through my faults
Dries my every tear
Calms the storms of life
Calms my every fear

Heals my ills
Soothes my pain
Always near when I should call

Teaches me
Of His ways
Picks me up each time I fall

Urges me
To go on
Even when I’ve hit the wall

Precious thoughts
He has of me
Always keeps me standing tall

How I love Him so
Jesus Lamb of God
Pardoned all my sin
Wraps me in His arms
Loves me through my faults
Dries my every tear
Stills the storms of life
Calms my every fear

Sunday morning
I feel great
I will lift my hands in praise

On the Scheduler’s Time

I used to work in sales, selling little office things
I called on many customers who needed many blings
One place was a hatchery where chicks would incubate
They shipped them round the world before it was too late

The process of the warmer was to let the chicks mature
They had to hatch for shipment on the time of scheduler
They were always ready and the birds arrived on time
McMurray was the name of that customer of mine

The word of God within us is similar in ways
We read it and apply it to help us through our days
Then when the heat is on the word will bring us through
We get delivered at the time that only God did choose

When you are in a hot spot and don’t know what to do
Allow the word of God to rise inside of you
Just when you need encouragement the right verse will be shown
You will find His mercy in the midst of the unknown

Grace Won

Lord I cry to you heal this cold
Coughing and wheezing are growing old
How I need rest from the breathing woes
Pour your grace on me

Lord I plead with you help me sleep
Settle my mind in slumber deep
Help me to find that place of peace
Pour your grace on me

Whatever comes my way
Wherever you may lead
Pour your grace over me
Whenever health returns
However this day be
Pour your grace over me

Lord I beg of you touch my life
Keep me close to you through this night
May I always lift your name high
Pour your grace on me

Then when the morning comes
When this long night is done
I’ll lift your name
I’ll give you praise
For through it all grace won

Whatever comes my way
Wherever you may lead
Pour your grace over me
Whenever health returns
However this day be
Pour your grace over me

Dog Days

I think some dogs look funny
But others say they’re cute
Little ones that seem to fold
A wrinkle in their suit

I guess I’m in my dog days
My wrinkles grow in length
Though I still feel much younger
I found my source of strength

It’s not in what this earth provides
Nor in it’s treasures vast
I get my strength from God above
His truth will always last

So if you find you’re drifting
Into your later years
Without much strength of spirit
I’ll whisper in your ear

Make Jesus Christ your Lord today
He’ll bring you a new life
Then when you need encouragement
His word will come alive

Above This Dying World

Finding out what’s right what’s wrong
Finding out how to be strong
Finding out the ways of God
Learning from the word

Finding out a better way
Finding out more every day
Finding out the words to pray
Learning from the word

The word is truth to guide my path
The word is life that always lasts
The word shows me the way to pass
On pleasures of this world

The word sheds light on giving grace
The word shows me my Saviors face
The word gives me desire to raise
Above this dying world

Now I will give my cares to Him
Now I will have His peace within
Now I will raise a joyful hymn
To Jesus Christ my Lord

Now I will sing a song of praise
Now I will worship hands upraised
Now I will lift my voice always
To Jesus Christ my Lord

Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to I Am
Hallelujah Christ is Him
I will praise His name

Hallelujah let’s adore
Hallelujah Christ is Lord
Hallelujah evermore
I will praise His name

Ease Your Load

The anger I had when I was young
Was nasty and bitter and mean
I’d lash out with words that hurt and bebased
And often I’d say things obscene

Then one day I figured out how wrong I’d been
It’s a day I will never forget
My friend over years did provoke me to change
So I made a move I don’t regret

I asked Jesus to come change my life for the good
I made Him my Savior and Lord
Now my words show His mercy as blessings they give
To all who like kind gentle words

Do you need a change in your life today
Is your anger out of control
Jesus loves you and will answer your call
His blessings will ease your load

A Spring Within

I’ve got joy in troubles
Joy in tears
Joy in sorrow
Joy in fears
I can say without a doubt
When I am hurting joy wins out

You ask how joy can overcome
The heartaches that will often come
How can a man be rocked with pain
And have a joy that still remains

It is no secret gift I have
Nor is it hid from any man
This joy is here for you to gain
When life seems to go down the drain

Just turn your mind to Jesus Christ
And realize He bled and died
Was tortured and was crucified
In nine short hours paid the price

Yet His word said that joy was there
As He gave sight to what’s ahead
His eyes not fixed on earthly things
Or all the troubles this life brings

If we would turn our eyes and see
The gifts that grace has meant to be
Our lives are filled with His sweet love
Besides those things that wait above

If we could only rest our mind
Away from troubles in our lives
Than joy would be a spring within
That never will grow dry again

 

What a Thrill

When I learned about His mercy
And His wondrous love for me
I could not hold my praises
They came rushing out of me

I shouted hallelujah
When I settled in His peace
My heart was full of worship
With a sound that would not cease

Make a joyful noise
Shout for victory
Jesus Christ is Lord
He has set me free

Now my hope endures forever
I cam trust His saving grace
I can’t wait to get to heaven
Then I’ll look upon His face

Make a joyful noise
Shout for victory
Jesus Christ is Lord
He has set me free

What a day that will be
What a thrill that I shall see
My Savior and my Lord
Jesus Christ

Make a joyful noise
Shout for victory
Jesus Christ is Lord
He has set me free
