The Lord Knows
When you’re feeling sick
And you’re stuck in your bed
You pray but the answer is slow
You wonder if God
Has heard your request
I can honestly say the Lord knows
When trouble surrounds you
And you see no way out
You pray but the answer is slow
As the trouble gets worse
You question His love
I am confident that the Lord knows
He knows every pain, every hurt, every stain
He knows every doubt, every tear
He knows every sorrow and every heartache
He knows every doubt, every fear
Hold onto His promise
Don’t ever let go
Because no matter what comes your way
The Lord knows
When doubt settles in
And you cannot feel God
You pray but the answer is slow
Time passes by you
The days and then weeks
You wonder if God really knows
These are the times
When our faith is tested
This trial will help us to grow
We must trust in Him
And endure to the end
You can be sure the Lord knows
He knows every pain, every hurt, every stain
He knows every doubt, every tear
He knows every sorrow and every heartache
He knows every doubt, every fear
Hold onto His promise
Don’t ever let go
Because no matter what comes your way
The Lord knows
This Time Of Year
This time of year
One thing is clear
The grass is not lush
The songbirds are hushed
The leaves are a no
The flowers don’t grow
It’s winter and cold has it’s way
This time of year
One thing is clear
I have a Savior
Who loves me forever
His mercy is pure
His promises sure
No matter what kind of weather

He Overcame
He overcame sickness
So I could be healed
The stripes on His back paid the price
He overcame sorrow
So I could have joy
His suff’ring would more than suffice
He overcame turmoil
So I could have peace
More peace than the world ever knew
He overcame doubt
So I could have faith
I can trust that His word will be true
By the stripes on His back He is victorious
By the thorns in His brow He is glorious
By the nails in His hands
He became Christ the Lamb
He has overcome for all of us
He overcame fear
So that I could have hope
My eternal home was secured
He overcame hate
And gave me His love
A love that is faithful and sure
He’s laid up a crown for me
Heaven’s my destiny
I’ll soon be with Him up there
But until that day
He’s made a way
For me to have victory
By the stripes on His back He’s victorious
By the thorns in His brow He is glorious
By the nails in His hands
He became Christ the Lamb
He has overcome for all of us
All Worked Out
I once had stinking thinking
When my head was screwed on wrong
When I got drunk and high on drugs
I thought good things would come
For several years I wandered far
And messed up my own life
But then one day I thought a sec
And opened up my eyes
I couldn’t help but criticize
The mess I’d made so far
I quickly came to realize
That life was one big scar
So I gave my heart to Jesus
And He healed me inside out
Now I have a joy and peace
My life has all worked out

One More Soul
Come to Jesus
He is waiting
Waiting here to comfort you
Come to Jesus
He is calling
Calling out to rescue you
If you do not know my Savior
If you have not asked Him in
Now’s the time to pray in earnest
Today’s the day to call to Him
Long ago He died to save you
Took your sin upon that cross
You no longer have to worry
Jesus Christ has paid the cost
Listen close this is important
He is waiting just for you
Ask the Savior for forgiveness
Ask the Lord to rescue you
Tell Him that you need His mercy
Tell Him you will follow Him
Thank Him for His great salvation
When that’s done He will come in
He will bring you peace that calms you
He will bring abundant joy
He will fill your heart with His love
You’ll have hope forevermore
A song of praise will rise within you
Hallelujahs fill the air
Angels will rejoice in heaven
One more soul is saved down here
Then you’ll share it with your neighbor
He will see the change in you
He will want to share this blessing
One more soul will be rescued
Come to Jesus
He is waiting
Waiting here to comfort you
Come to Jesus
He is calling
Calling out to rescue you
Waking Me
Each day I wake to birds
Singing to the sunrise
Cheerfully they chirp
Loud and full of life
I see the morning sun
Color streams from it’s rays
Slowly rise above
Horizon far away
I’m so glad for those birds
Waking me from the deep
If I’d not heard their cry
I’d still be fast asleep

I Am His Child
I knelt before the Lord today
I bowed my head so I could pray
‘Twas then I heard Him softly say
I love you, son. You are my child
The words were music to my ears
I closed my eyes and felt my tears
The joy inside my heart was real
I felt His love. It made me smile
I love you too, Lord. That you know
I asked you in so long ago
You’ve been with me and helped me grow
I thank you, Lord. I am your child
My child, you have grown in faith
Now it is time you run the race
Please go tell others of my grace
They need to know my love as well
Yes, Lord. I will do my part
I’ll go tell them to give their heart
I know you’ve loved them from the start
I’ll testify you love them all
With that I lifted up my praise
To Jesus Christ for His sweet grace
I thanked Him for His love this day
Because I know I am His child
Trembling to Praising
There was a time that I was fearful
Knowing God was watching me
I’d hide from Him and often tremble
Wondering what He’d do with me
But then one day I met the Savior
Learned that He did love me so
All that trembling turned to praising
His sweet name forevermore
In response to the daily prompt Tremble
Running To You
I run into your arms Lord
Where I am always safe
You wrap your love around me
Your spirit builds my faith
I run to your great mercy
When I have lost my way
You help me in my trials
And lead me to escape
Running to you, Lord. Running to you
My destination sure
Running to you with all my heart
Lord, I am running to you
I run to your sweet grace, Lord
Where blessings always flow
When I am discouraged

I run to know the joy, Lord
You plant inside of me
It overwhelms my senses
And fills my heart with glee
Running to you, Lord. Running to you
My destination sure
Running to you with all my heart
Lord, I am running to you
I run to feel your peace, Lord
That calms my weary soul
It flows so gently from you

That never dims or fades
It comes from knowing you, Lord
