Grace & Mercy

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


Not Defeated

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

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
Magnificen

God Only Wise

Leave a reply 
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

He’s Calling Out

One day every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord of all
In heaven and in earth

One day everyone will gather
‘Round the throne of God
Some will live eternally
Some will be cast out

He’s calling out today
For all to find His way
So why not bow and pray
To Jesus Christ today

This day you can make the choice
That one day will decide
Whether you will live eternally
Or be the one cast out

This day make the choice for Jesus
He’s the only way
Take Him as your Lord and Savior
Call on Him today

He will take your sins away
Wash them white as snow
He will give you peace and joy
That you have never known

He will grant deliverance
From all that holds you down
He will replace all your fear
With faith that you can grow

He will give you hope that lasts
For all eternity
His love will encompass you
And let’s you know you’re his

He’s calling out today
For all to find His way
So why not bow and pray
To Jesus Christ today

I couldn’t ask the Lord for more
Of His amazing grace
Or His everlasting mercy
Or His loving soft embrace

I couldn’t ask the Lord for more
Of His abiding peace
Or His overwhelming joy
Or His Spirit of release

He gives and gives then gives some more
And all He asks of me
Is to follow in His footsteps
And His disciple be

I couldn’t ask for blessings
Because He gives me oh so much
I couldn’t ask for miracles
I’m surrounded by His touch

But I can ask for guidance 
That He lead me every day
And I could ask for wisdom
That I follow in His way

I can ask forgiveness
When I wander from His plan
And I can ask protection
In the palm of His hand

He gives and gives then gives some more
And all He asks of me
Is to follow in His footsteps
And His disciple be

There’s nothing He won’t do for me
To follow in His ways
He’ll walk with me and talk with me
For all my coming days

So I will lift my praises 
To my Savior and my Lord
Because He’s with me forever
He’s the one that I adore

I sit and wonder why, Lord
Do people not choose thee
When they hear you've paid the price
From sin to set them free

Down here they feel so happy 
And they think it's the best
But if they just choose you today. 
They would be richly blessed

In this life they party 
Thinking all of life's a game
If you would fill them with your joy 
They'd never be the same

And when the party's over 
And the happiness is gone 
They sit their all alone and wonder 
When some peace will come

But I can tell them truly 
That the peace that Jesus gives
Will permeate  their soul each day
As long as they shall live

You ask me how I know these things 
So I'll tell you here and now
'Twas not that long ago my friend
That I refused to bow

I loved the party life at night 
But hated waking up
My mind was filled with torment 
My thoughts were so corrupt

It took at least 10 times 
For me to head His call
But when I did, He kept His word
And gave to me His all

He blesses me each day
With His presence,  oh so sweet
He fills my heart with joy
Happiness just can't compete

His peace is so remarkable 
It soothes me every day
And His love is unforgettable
He walks along my way

But most of all His mercy
Is always reaching me
And His grace is so amazing
As it works to keep me free

You see it really is no contest
What the best life is
So why not turn your life around
And make your heart be His.

Spring time showers bringing life
Raindrops splashing through the night
Storm clouds billow up so tall
Like the raindrops, mercy falls

Our great God is oh so wise
Mercy keeps us all alive
Through his endless, boundless love
He desires us all above

Winter cold is drawing near
North wind chill that you can hear
Snow is swirling in the air	
Like the snowflake, mercy falls	

Our great God the seasons made
This His promise does remain
Mercy is His promise too
It will come and rescue you

Mercy falls, oh praise His name
Mercy falls, our lives are changed
His great love reaches to all
Oh what joy when Mercy falls
