Do You Hear Mine

Are you there?
Do you hear me?
As I quietly call your name.
Are you there?
Do you hear me?
My prayer is still the same.
I want to know you more
I want to feel your touch
I want to hear your voice
Do you hear mine?

Are you there?
Do you see me?
As I go through trials of life.
Are you there?
Do you see me?
When my life is full of strife.
I want to know you more
I want to feel your touch
I want to hear your voice
Do you hear mine?

Out of the silence
I hear your voice - 
Gently it speaks to my soul
"I am here
I hear your voice
I will answer in my time
I am here
I see your life
My help is near you all the time
Do not fear
Do not worry
I will never leave your side."












Control

Sometimes it rains, Sometimes it snows,
Sometimes it's sunny, Sometimes it's cold
I am so glad I'm not in control

Sometimes I'm up.  Sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I can't.  Lift my feet off the ground
And still I'm so glad I'm not in control

Sometimes I cry.  Sometimes I laugh
Sometimes I'm empty.  Sometimes I'm full
And always I'm glad.  I'm not in control

We can do all we want, Say all we can say
Take every measure, Pray all we can pray
And still we will know we are not in control

Because God is all powerful knowing and wise
He directs our lives from up in the skies
And I am always so glad that He's in control

But there is one thing'
That I do control
There is one thing 
That is in my hands
One thing I must relay
My attitude
It shapes my life
And the lives I touch each day
It shapes my walk
And the oaths I take every day
It shapes my future
And How I will view each day
My challenge to you - 
Take control of what you can -
Your attitude
And leave control of all else
In God's hands.
You will find a happier life!









Our Salvation

He Calls To You

The wind is blowing
Howling outside my window
Refreshing,
Invigorating
Ever changing in its strength
And direction
Bringing with it change.
The Holy Spirit is like the wind
Calling my name
Refreshing
Invigorating
Ever changing in its strength
And direction
Bringing with it change
For my life
Am I listening to the wind,
To the Holy Spirit?
He speaks to me
Guiding me,
Teaching me,
Disciplining me,
Helping me grown
Helping me change.
Am I listening
To the still small voice
As it calls out from the wind
Follow me
Learn from me
I will take you where you cannot go yourself
I will take you higher
And farther
Than you can imagine
Listen to the wind
Listen to the Holy Spirit
He calls to you












Come and Draw Near

Hail to the King who came yesterday
Humble and meek laid in the hay
Worshiped by wise men, Shepherds kept guard
Led their by Angels and a bright morning star

Hail to the King who came down from His throne
To be born in a manger.  To be born all alone
The world did not notice.  The world did not care
That the Lord of all Lords was suddenly there

Hail to the King, He was born to die
For my sins and yours God in flesh, now alive
He would walk among men.  He would tell them of love
He would show them the way of the Father above
Then they'd beat him and mock him and send him to death
Yet He would forgive them until His last breath

Hail to the King.  Our salvation is here
Don't get left behind, come and draw near
He cries out to know you.  He knocks at the door
Won't you open your heart so His love can be yours?



















All It Takes

Healed
By His miraculous hand
Healed
He was wounded for our transgressions
Bruised for our iniquities
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him
And by His stripes we are healed
Could the prophet make it any clearer?
Can God make it any clearer?
Have you experienced His healing?
His forgiveness?
His deliverance?
Do you have His peace?
It is right there, waiting for you -
A simple acknowledgement of His sacrifice
And your unworthiness
Is all it takes.
Won't you ask Him in today?
Allow the Savior to heal your hurt
Remove your iniquities
Grant you His peace?
He is standing at the door knocking
Gently knocking at the door of your heart
Now is the accepted time
Today is the day of salvation!

















Come Into His Chamber

Come into the Kings Courts
His Son has invited you
And He awaits your presence
He desires to clothe you
With royal garments
Of Mercy, Grace and Truth 
He desires to fill you
With fruit from His table
Love, peace and joy
He delights in your presence
He delights in your praise
He desires to have you close to Him
At all times
His table is spread out
A banqueting table with more than you can imagine
he wants you to feast at His banqueting table
Feast until you are fill
Of all the wonderful things He has for you
Come
Come into His Chamber 
Come into the King of Kings
And Lord of Lords 
He awaits your presence



















Every Day Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving
The world sets aside a day
To give thanks
But shouldn't that be everyday?
Thanks for the air I breath
Thanks for the water I drink
Thanks for the sun that shines
Thanks for the stars at night
Thanks for. The clean white snow
Thanks for the bright rainbow
Thanks for a gentle breeze
Thanks for the leafless trees
Thanks for a God who loves
So much that he gave His son
A sacrifice for you and me
So that we could all be free
Make every day Thanksgiving!























Today, Not Tomorrow

Today
Not tomorrow
Not next week
Not next month
Not next year
Today
Today is the day of salvation
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for
Today you will be with me in paradise
The kingdom of God is within you
Consecrate yourselves today
This is the day that the Lord has made
Today
What are you waiting for?
Why do you not speak?
Why do you not go?
Why do you not give?
Today is your day
Today is the only day God has given you.
There is no guarantee of tomorrow
Yesterday is gone
Today is your day
Now is your time

God Meets With Me

In the quiet of the morning
God meets with me
In the stillness of the evening
God meets with me
When I take time to be still
God meets with me
We can see His presence
Everywhere we look
When can marvel at His majesty
In His amazing creation
We can know that He is with us
Everywhere we go.
And He speaks to us!
The God of the universe
Speaks to us.
Daily.
Hourly.
Minute by Minute!
Take time to listen.
To listen to His voice.
To hear His sweet words.
Drawing us near
Ever so near.
"Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where thou has died
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the precious bleeding side.
