The Answer is Yes

2 Replies 
There's a call to serve the Lord today 
This I know is true 
The question that awakens me
Is what can this man do

I open my eyes to look around
At a world that needs His love 
I’m just one person in a small town 
Can I really do enough 

The answer is yes
Absolutely yes
He said I could move mountains 
And do much greater things 
When I reach out in faith
And I pray most earnestly 
I can change a life for someone
Yes, yes, yes

I began to see around me
Little needs I could fulfill 
From providing a few groceries
To a gas tank that needs filled 

An old man need company
On a long ride for his health 
So I rode along beside him
And shared the gospel wealth

There are so many ways we can reach out
So many things we can change 
If well just take the time to bow down
And fall on our knees in prayer

The most powerful weapon I can yield
Against the enemy
Is a prayer life for others daily
That's designed to meet their needs

As I pray for the lost and lonely 
God will open my eyes to their needs
Then I step out in faith to help them
Change the world why yes indeed

The answer is yes
Absolutely yes
He said I could move mountains 
And do much greater things 
When I reach out in faith
And I pray most earnestly 
I can change a life for someone
Yes, yes, yes

Creation Testifies

In all the world around me
I see His loving hand
I know He’s watching over me
He surveys this great land

I love to hear the birds
As they sing their praises high
I love to see the trees
As they lift their branches high

I love to feel the wind
His spirit whisking by
I love to see the stars
So majestic in the sky

All to bring His praises
To lift His name up high
All to bring Him glory
His creation testifies

When I behold this symphony
Of praise to Christ our Lord
I just have to lift my voice
To the one that I adore

Praise His name, His mighty name
The glorious name of Jesus
Praise His name, His matchless name
Jesus Christ the Lord

Sing His praises loud and clear
Cause your voice to shout and cheer
Sing it out so all will hear
That Jesus Christ is Lord

Praise His name, His mighty name
The glorious name of Jesus
Praise His name, His matchless name
Jesus Christ the Lord

Plans

Leave a reply 
I often come up with wonderful plans
Of when I should go and when I should stand
But most of the time those plans are in place
I find myself falling flat on my face

I'm not very good at thinking real clear
The words that I say are not what they hear
My plan makes me say thing I should not
They cause those around me to grow rather hot 

I cry to the Lord please help me to speak
It's your words I want and your plan I seek
Whenever I revert to ways of my own
I find that I'm closer to being disowned 

Your gentle sweet voice echoes soft in my ear
I quiet way down so you I can hear
You tell me to stop and follow your ways 
Things will be better in upcoming days

I hope that I will learn something from this
That is my prayer and that is my wish
To follow His plan every day of my life 
I will not get lost and peace will be mine 

If you find you are wand’ring through life on your own
And the snares are around you outside or at home 
Listen to Jesus and follow His plan
He'll firmly guide you with His gentle hand

He’s Mine

Leave a reply 
If not for the Lord I'd still be in sin 
No pardon for me the devil would win
I'd flounder through life and wish for retrieve 
Then in the end hell my soul would receive

If not for the Lord no joy would be mine
My laughter would be empty echoes through time
Sorrow below in my merriest rhymes
I'd wind up with smiles my face would tell lies

But He's mine, all mine
He redeemed me that day long ago 
He's mine, eternally mine
He is with me wherever I go

If not for the Lord all hope would be lost 
I'd pay the price now an eternal cost
No future would hold anything prosperous 
I'd flounder through life in a whirlwind of loss

If not for the Lord my peace would subside
I'd think I was calm but I'd tremble inside 
When it seemed things were right only fear would reside 
Only terror would fill up the thoughts of my mind

But He's mine, all mine
He redeemed me that day long ago 
He's mine, eternally mine
He is with me wherever I go

I don't have to worry
I don't have to fret 
I don't need to have any doubt
When I asked Him to save me
He did it that day
And my life was turned about

Yes He's mine, all mine 
He redeemed me that day long ago
He's mine, eternally mine
He is with me wherever I go

I cannot tell thee whence it came
This peace within my soul
When cancer reared it's ugly head
He's all I chose to know
When days were tough and weakness reigned
And I was feeling low
His calm assurance rescued me
From satan's vengeful blow

I stand in His unfailing love
I look to see His face
For He has been so good to me
He showered me with grace
In all the days since illness struck
His merciful embrace
Has held me closely to His side
He's worthy of my praise
Lift His name
His matchless name
Jesus Lamb of God
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Our Emmanuel

When I have gained the victory
And stand whole once again
I know I'll owe it all to Him
My Savior and my friend
I'll lift my voice up louder still
To reace the God of heav'n
Hosanna, praise His mighty name
Jesus Christ the Lamb

Lift His name
His matchless name
Jesus Lamb of God
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Our Emmanuel

I Give Me To You

How can I say thank you
For such an amazing gift
You gave your life so I could be set free

How can I repay you
For the love that you have shown
When you gave up your glory just for me.

There is no way to pay
There is nothing to do
But to offer up myself to you

I will now say thank you
For all you’ve done for me
I will lift my hands in praise
To you eternally
I will speak your truth
To everyone I know
This is my desire
But here is what I owe

I give you my all
All of myself
All that I do
All that I am
Everything I desire
I find in you
So here is my heart
I give me to you.

Sometimes I Need

Leave a reply 
Sometimes I need guidance
Sometimes I need peace 
Sometimes I need refuge
From storms that never cease
Sometimes I need healing
From the pains my body feels
But most of all I need Jesus

Sometimes I need shelter 
Sometimes I need warmth
Sometimes I need friendship 
When I feel so all alone
Sometimes I need someone 
To tell my sorrows too
But most of all I need Jesus 

I need Him in the morning
I need Him through the day
I need Him in the evening
As the sun just drifts away
I need Him through the night
I need Him when I pray
I need Him every hour of every day

Sometimes I need comfort
Sometimes I need joy
Sometimes I need wisdom
When my dreams have been destroyed
Sometimes I need mending
When my heart is broke
But most of all I need Jesus

He is all these things to me
All of this and so much more
He fills my every longing
He’s what I’m living for
He’s always right beside me
In my darkest hours
He’s my ever-present help 
In time of need

I need Him in the morning
I need Him through the day
I need Him in the evening
As the sun just drifts away
I need Him through the night
I need Him when I pray
I need Him every hour of every day
