Merciful Savior

Leave a reply

When I begin to think about

What Jesus did for me

I always must remember

The day He set me free

 

My sins were overwhelming

I couldn’t find my way

I tried so many other things

That just led me astray

 

But Jesus said He’d rescue me

From the depths of sin

I needed to escape my past

And find some peace within

 

Oh, what a merciful Savior

Oh, what grace divine

Jesus is my answer

Jesus now is mine

 

So I sat down and prayed a prayer

And asked Him in my heart

There was no doubt He touched me

As I felt Him from the start

 

From that day on He stayed with me

I grew in His embrace

And now I trust Him every day

To cover me with grace

 

My heart shouts out His praises

As I lift my voice in song

He’s all I ever needed

With Him I can’t go wrong

 

Oh, what a merciful Savior

Oh, what grace divine

Jesus is my answer

Jesus now is mine

The Fog Lifted

I used to live life in a fog

My mind was always cloudy

And smoke swirled ’round my head all day

My life was kind of rowdy.

 

But then I met my Savior

Jesus is His name

The fog lifted

Life was changed

i’ll never be the same

 

Now I’m free from sin and shame

I have reason to live

I’m free at last

From troublled past

My praise to Him I give

What A Mighty Name

I have a feeling God is near

I hear Him whisper in my ear

His Spirit calls me, oh so clear

To lift my voice in praise

 

And then I hear the angels shout

They worship as they fly about

Their words of praise, they echo loud

They lift His holy name

 

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

Hallelujah, praise His name

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

He is Lord of all

 

The chorus rings throughout the sky

I sing with angels passing by

We sing unto the Lord most High

He’s worthy of our praise

 

Jesus, King and Lord of life

Jesus, Savior for all time

Jesus, now forever mine

How I love that name

 

Jesus, blessed redeemer reigns

Jesus, every day the same

Jesus, what a mighty name

Worthy of my praise

 

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

Hallelujah, praise His name

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

He is Lord of all

 

Now I’m Weclome

There was a time that I was not welcome

Banned is a better word

 

I had not accepted criteria

For eternity with the Lord

But then I asked His forgiveness

For all of of the  sins of my past

And He washed me whiter than whitest snw

And said enter into my rest

Now I’m not banned any longer

I’m welcome for all of time

I sure hope that you know the Savior

So you can share in my rhyme

Not Defeated

3 Replies

Solitary

All alone

That will be defeated with my Lord

He is always here inside my heart

 

Downcast

Hope is lost

That will be defeated with my Lord

He encourages right from the start

 

When I gave my heart to Jesus

All my doubts and fears He took

He threw them all away

And He told me where to look

He said you’ll find your answers

In the pages of my book

 

Worried

Faith is weak

That will be defeated with My Lord

He restores my faith when mine is gone

 

Falling

Strength is gone

That will be defeated with my Lord

He gives me the strength to battle on

 

I know this world will try me

And will test the faith I claim

But every time I start to fade

I call upon His name

He lifts me up and dusts me off

And then I sing His praise

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Victory is coming from my Lord

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

He gives me the power through His word

I will not be defeated

I will claim

His mighty name

Hallelujah

Changes come and changes go

You never know what’s next

Hairstyles, fashion, colored toes

It’s hard to know what’s best

But all these changes just don’t last

They make no difference

And when the change has come to pass

Most people could care less

I know one change that is for real

A brilliant transformation

For when I came to Jesus Christ

He gave me Salvation

My life was changed in every way

His Word becamse my ration

As I applired it to my life

It gave me inspiration

From weak I now became strong

From poor He filled me up

I  was a sinner, shame throughout

He cleaned my inner cup

My life was bound for hell that day

But now I’m heaven bound

The transformation Jesus brought

Chnaged me from kost to found

‘Round the throne of God

Some will live eternally

Some will be cast out

One Word

If I could say one word to Jesus

What word would it be

What word would summarize

All my Savior means to me

How can a single word take in

His royal majesty

There must be such a word

That I could speak

 

Amazing.

So Amazing

So Amazing is His love for me

Truly Amazing

Simply Amazing

How Amazing that Jesus would love me

 

From on His throne in heaven

He looked down to see my plight

And came to earth to die

So that I could have new life

It’s hard to comprehend such love

For such a worm as I

Amazing

 

If He would grant me one word

Perhaps He’d grant me two

The next word would be just as hard

To think about and choose

My thoughts would wander through a list

Of words that call-in praise

I’d have to find a word

That would live His holy name

 

Magnificent

So Magnificent

So Magnificent is my Savior’s love for me

Magnificent

Surely Magnificent

Magnificent that He would care enough

 

He tells me every day

How much He loves me so

He fills me with His peace

And calms my weary soul

The joy that He bestows on me

It lightens up my load

And His Spirit leads the way

Everywhere I go

Magnificent

Looking for Real

3 Replies

Reality is hard to come by

In today’s old, mixed up world

Who knows what to believe

In the new cycle whirl

 

Artificial stories

Making headlines pop

One will never know

When the rumor stops

 

But nothings artificial

About God’s love for you

If you want something really real

He’ll always be the truth

Shout to the Lord

Sing out His praise

He is magnificent

In all of His ways

 

Dance for the Lord

With a heart full of joy

He is Amazing

And, Oh so much more

 

He formed the earth

Divided the seas

Set up the sun

He created the trees

Brought up the beasts

And birds of the air

Then He made man

His image He shared

And when He was done

He said all was good

Creation was done

It is wonderful

 

Give to the Lord

All of your praise

Worship His holiness

Lift up His name

 

Raise up your hands

Lift up your eyes

He is exalted

God only wise

 

Came down from heaven

Gave up His throne

Suffered and beaten

Left all alone

 

Forgiving my sin

Washing it white

Filling my life

With His glorious light

Placed in the tomb

Sealed with a stone

Rose up to life

Will soon take me home

Taking my shame

My quilt and my fear

Filled me with peace

He dries every tear

 

I will rejoice

In Jesus my Lord

Day after day

He’s the one I adore

 

Forever and ever

I’ll praise His name

For He is worthy

Of all of my praise
