Wouldn’t It Be Nice

Wouldn't it be nice if we had no trials
Wouldn't it be nice if we had no tears
Wouldn't it be nice if we had no struggles
Wouldn't it be nice if we had no fears

We would dance and sing without a worry
We would never need a friend to help
We would go through life without a problem 
We would have it easy every day

But when the storm came up
And the wind blew strong
And we found it was a dream
We'd fall off of that mountain
In sadness and despair
Finding we had no place
Of refuge or repair

God gave trials to fix our focus 
On the fact He'll help us through 
Every test and tear will grow us
Give us strength that can endure
So rejoice when life is trying 

Rejoice when troubles interfere
Realize these moments are a treasure
Meant to draw you closer to His ear
Your faith will be uplifted 
Your heart will be renewed 
His peace will be imparted
His joy overflow

For when your life is toughest
That's when God will shine
When your road seems hardest
His plan is good and kind 
He never will forsake you
Or leave you in despair
Just trust His precious mercy 
And lean upon His grace

Not All

People cry Lord, Lord, Lord 
Because their hungering to see
The grace and mercy I pour into their lives
They sit back and just adore
How the spirit makes them feel
Become content, and just keep that deep inside
They think they have all that there is
There's nothing more than can attain
Their happy in their hiding place
And do not seek for further gain
But Jesus calls. He truly calls
Not all who call me Lord
Will enter in these gates
Not all who call me Lord
Will gain eternal grace
You must give all that you have
To follow me with all your heart and soul.
I gave all for you, 
Will you give all to me
We live lives of moderation 
In a world of constant change
And we blur the lines of righteousness and holiness each day.
So that now the church is worldly 
And the worldly have no quid
And my church is like my nation as they've fallen far away
They think they have all that there is
There's nothing more than can attain
Their happy in their hiding place
And do not seek for further gain
But Jesus calls. He truly calls
Not all who call me Lord
Will enter in these gates
Not all who call me Lord
Will gain eternal grace
You must give all that you have
To follow me with all your heart and soul.
I gave all for you, 
Will you give all to me
You must hunger for my righteousness
Give all and pay the cost
Thirst for Holy Spirit Fire 
Full blown Pentacost 
Hold me in your heart each day
Flee the Devil's call
Run to me with all your live
Sacrifice your all.
And then you'll make it. You'll really make it
Not all who call me Lord
Will enter in these gates
Not all who call me Lord
Will gain eternal grace
You must give all that you have
To follow me with all your heart and soul.
I gave all for you, 
Will you give all to me
Are you ready to give your all?
Ready to heed the call?
Are you ready to suffer all?
Ready to often fall?
Are you ready to preach to all?
To answer my heart's call?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Not all who call me Lord
Will enter in these gates
Not all who call me Lord
Will gain eternal grace
You must give all that you have
To follow me with all your heart and soul.
I gave all for you, 
Will you give all to me


When I Call Your Name

Leave a reply 
I was quite weary
The outlook was dreary
I soon became teary
Then I called your name

My worries all vanished
My life no more tarnished
Your Spirit replenished
When I called your name

Thank you, dear Lord, for the sweet peace you give
That helps me to get through this life I must live
When I call on your name, I can trust you will give
A joy to my heart once again

When I was in sin
Had trouble within
My life was a spin
When I called your name

You hung on a tree
To bring mercy to me
And now I am free
Since I called on your name

Because you paid the price for my anguish and shame
As they beat up your body and mocked your sweet name
Because of your grace my life has been changed
Since you poured out your mercy on me

Thank you, dear Lord, for the sweet peace you give
That helps me to get through this life I must live
When I call on your name, I can trust you will give
A joy to my heart once again

Psalmist 23

Leave a reply 
The Lord is my Shepherd
He has my heart
And when times are tough
I shall not want

He makes me to lie down
In pastures green
And leads me beside
The still waters serene

He restores my soul
When I'm in a test
And He leads me
Into righteousness

Yea though I walk
Through shadows dark
I have no fear
For your my rock

Your rod and staff
Bring comfort sweet
For I know that you
Are there with me

You anoint my head
With sweet perfume
My life us full
With more of you

Surely goodness
Lights my path
And mercy always
Has my back

And I will dwell
Eternally
In heavens realm
A home for me.

I Got This

Leave a reply 
When my back's against the wall
And I'm feeling mighty small
I can hear my Savior call
I got this!

When my health is going down
And I'm feeling all alone
The Lord is on the phone
I got this

You're in my hand, so do not fear 
I have you right where you should be
Just remember in the times
That you feel you'll fall behind 
You just have to look to me 
I got this

When I seem so out of touch
And I feel that it's too much
There's the sound of His sweet voice
I got this

So I'll just praise Hm day by day 
Because I know He's here to stay
He carries me along the way
And then I hear Him say

You're in my hand, so do not fear 
I have you right where you should be
Just remember in the times
That you feel you'll fall behind 
You just have to look to me 
I got this

Praise The Lord

Praise the Lord, He came down from heaven
Came to set the captives free
Came to give the blind man His vision
Came for you and me

Praise the Lord, He walked on the water 
Came to raise the dead to life
Came to make the leper my brother
Came for you and me

Let us rejoice and sing Hallelujah 
Let us shout His praise aloud
Loud Hosanna ring in the heavens
Praise Him with a shout

Praise the Lord, He fed the five thousand
Came to call His children home 
Came to the cry of the orphan 
Came for you and me

Praise the Lord, He brought my salvation
Came to die upon a tree
Came to bring new hope to the nation's
Came for you and me

Let us rejoice and sing Hallelujah 
Let us shout His praise aloud
Loud Hosanna ring in the heavens
Praise Him with a shout

The Word Speaks

Leave a reply 
"Who are you Lord?" I asked Him one day
After turning my head and losing my way
I feel like I've wondered too far astray
And now I'm not sure who you are

I waited to hear His voice speak in my ear
To bring some sweet words of hope and good cheer
But the longer I waited to more that I feared
I had wandered off too far away

I walked through the house and I spotted His book
It was covered in dust and had been overlooked
I opened the pages and soon my heart shook
At the words that jumped out at my eyes

"I am the Lord of mercy and grace
I suffer long for those seeking my face
I forgive sins and put life in their place
Come to me just as you are"

I knew right there He was speaking to me
So once again I fell down on my knees
Saying Father forgive and sanctify me
And then He took me in His arms

My friends If you're feeling the Lord's out of reach
And you can't hear His voice, or feel His sweet peace 
Just look to His word and the Bible will speak
And give you the comfort you need

I’m Gonna Praise Him

Died upon a cross 
To bring me peace within

Don’t Just Remember

Leave a reply 
My Lord took me back to the Manger one day
I saw wise men and shepherds bowing to pray
Mary and Joseph were bowing their heads
Praising the newborn babe

Then He took me to John at the River Jordan
And I heard him ask Jesus if he was the one
The Spirit descended on Jesus that day
And God acknowledged His Son

Then I saw the five thousand sit at His feet
And from fishes and bread He gave them to eat
Abundant leftovers were scattered around
As Jesus just sat and preached

I came to a cave that was shut up tight
And soon He called out for the dead to gain life
The people around were frozen in awe
As Jesus walked into the night

Then the worst of all moments came into my sight
As I witnessed His trial and He didn’t fight
He stood there and took the offenses they threw
And silently gave up His life

They led Him away to an old rugged cross
Then I watched Him die, oh what a loss
But He asked that forgiveness be given to all
Before paying the ultimate cost

In those moments I realized the sights that I’d seen
Had all been revealed to me so I would see
That remembering what He had done for me
Would never be really enough

For the task that He has for me every day
Is to witness that He is the Truth and the Way
That salvation for all is a prayer away
If only I’ll help them believe.

Heavenly Reward

Leave a reply 
My first day in heaven what do I see
It's the voice of Jesus calling to me
He says welcome home, come sit by my side
Let me show the fruit that has come from your life

He opens my eyes to a vision of souls
Lining the streets made of purest gold
All ages and races are standing there free
And Jesus says all are because of me

This one from the mission field where you gave
That one from a Sunday School lesson one day
A third from the time I shared Christ on a bus
A fourth from the time that I just had to trust.

They came one by one as they slowly passed by
Saying thank you to me with a wonderful smile
And I realized each word I'd spoken down here
Had a lasting effect on someone else's ear.

I wished I could cry out to those still alive
To wake up and finally realize
That eternity was in the words that they spoke
Now is the time to talk about hope

Don't worry what anyone else might say
Just point everyone to Jesus TODAY
And then when your first day in heaven arrives
You too will see fruit that has come from your lives.
