My life was such a mess back then
I gave death little thought
I always lived my life down here
Like I didn’t give a squat
But then I learned there was a hell
And it was not for me
I didn’t want to burn down there
For all eternity
So I accepted Christ as Lord
And the price He paid for me
And I will live in heaven above
For all eternity
In response to the daily prompt Squat
There was a time
When I knew not
What Jesus did for me
I hadn’t heard
About His love
Or death on Calvary
I didn’t know
His sacrifice
Was given in my place
I hadn’t heard
Of His mercy
Or His amazing grace
But now that I know I’ll praise Him
From the dawn ’til setting sun
I’ll lift my voice and hands up high
For all that He has done
I’ll praise Him for His goodness
I’ll praise Him for His love
I’ll praise Him for the mansion
He has built for me above
Now that I know
What Jesus did
To set me free from sin
Others must hear
About His love
And all He’s done for them
I’ll let them know
The price He paid
That He died to set them free
I’ll share the word
And testify
The He would die for me
I will worship Him on high
And I will praise His name
I’ll tell the world of His great love
I’ll tell them how I’ve changed
And when I gt the chance to pray
For someone to be saved
I’ll celebrate with the heav’nly host
And lift His name in praise
Oh, glory to the Son of God
Glory to His name
His love has saved us all from sin
I’ll lift my voice in praise
Oh what a wonderful Father
Oh what a marvelous friend
He’ll keep me in His loving arms
Until the very end
I wandered through my younger years
My path was growing dim
I didn’t know which way to turn
Until I turned to Him
He set my face to better things
He turned my life around
He took my feet from sinking sand
Placed me on solid ground
Oh what a wonderful Father
Oh what a marvelous friend
He’ll keep me in His loving arms
Until the very end
I’m resting in His promises
And when the trials come
I turn to His great mercy
He saves me by His love
One day He will come back for me
And take me to His throne
I’ll worship Him forevermore
In my eternal home
Oh what a wonderful Father
Oh what a marvelous friend
He’ll keep me in His loving arms
Until the very end
I hear it
Soft and low
Calling out to me
I hear it
Sweet and mild
Whispering to me
It’s the sound
Of the Father’s voice
Calling out
To all who will hear
Below the noise
Of this world
Can you hear it
Will you listen
Will you follow
His command
Listen
Intently listen
He us whispering
To you
In response to the daily prompt Sound
How can God begin to know a little worm like me
How can God begin to hear the prayers that I speak
How can God begin to plan the future that I seek
When all the universe is Hs domain
How can God begin to bring the healing that I need
How can God begin to cause deliverance in me
How can God begin to send His Spirit to guide me
When all creation cries to Him each day
The answer to these questions
Is found inside His word
It’s really very simple
But to logic it’s absurd
That the God of all creation
Would care about just one
And hear his every cry
Because of His great love
Yes, it’s His love
His great and wondrous love
That brings Him to do all these things for us
It’s His love
His great and wondrous love
That brought Him down to earth and to a cross
It’s so hard to understand it
But by faith we take His hand
As He carries us through trials
And He shows us His great plan
I’m in awe of His great mercy
I’m so glad for His great grace
I will trust in Him forever
And one day I’ll see Hs face
Yes, it’s His love
His great and wondrous love
That brings Him to do all these things for us
It’s His love
His great and wondrous love
That brought Him down to earth and to a cross
With great anticipation
I awaited the day
That my love was going to come and take me home
The first part of my life
Was spent in Massachu
Now Iowa would be where I would roam
With great expectation
We drive those many miles
Knowing God was guiding all the way
Now thirty-eight years later
Our love is still alive
And life keeps getting better day by day
In response to the daily prompt Expectation
All my praise
All my worship
All my heart
To you, oh Lord
All my love
All the glory
All my soul
To you, oh Lord
What a wonder it is
That you love me
When all of creation is yours
What a marvelous thing
Is your grace to me
When you are my King and my Lord
All of my healing
All of my peace
All of my joy
From you, oh Lord
All my deliverance
All of my hope
All of my love
From you, oh Lord
What a marvel it us
That you would bestow
Your mercy on one such as I
I can only cry worthy
Are you of my praise
As I lift up my hands to the sky
As I look up
To the heavens above
I praise you with all of my heart
For you are the one
Who gave me your all
So I could have all that you are
I come to you Lord
With all of my heart
For you are the one that I long for
I adore you, Lord
I come to you Lord
My voice lifted up
To worship your name forever
I adore you, Lord
High and lifted up is your name
High and lifted up is your name
I come to you Lord
With praise on my lips
I honor your name in the highest
I adore you, Lord
I come to you Lord
To thank you again
For all you have done by your mercy
I adore you, Lord
High and lifted up is your name
High and lifted up is your name
I brush my teeth three times a day
In hopes that this will curb decay
Cold water’s not the choice I make
I prefer lukewarm
As I lift my hands in praise
I give my all to lift His name
Regarding Christ, I’m hot all day
And never lukewarm
If you’re lukewarm, He’ll spew you out
If you’re lukewarm, you’ll be kept out
So please make sure you spirit’s hot
Rise above lukewarm
