You Are Always Near

Leave a reply 
I have wandered in the desert one too many times
I’ve been way down in the valley of despair
So many storms have raged inside my weary mind
Yet I always know that you are near

I know that you are near
Because you whisper in my ear
You tell me everything will be all right
And in the deepest darkness
You help me find my way
My path becomes much clearer by your light

I can trust you, Lord at all times
I can trust you will help me through
I can trust you will take me by the hand
I can trust I will never be without you

I will never be without your mercy
I will never be without your grace
I will never be without your endless love
I will never leave your tender embrace

So, when I wander in the desert, you will guide me
In the valley you’ll remove my fear
When the storms come you will bring me rainbows
And I’ll know that you are always near

Be Still

Leave a reply 
I’m not sure how much more trouble I can take
I feel that I’m alone about to break
My time is quite filled up
His life is not enough
My wandering mind keeps getting in my way

I cry out to God, “Oh, Lord what can I do?
It seems that I am floundering without you”
Then I hear your voice reply
“Child, look up to the sky.
I am always here and want to talk to you.

Be still and know my peace
Be still and know my joy
Be still and hear my voice
I will speak to you through the noise
Be still and find new hope
Be still and feel my love
Be still and I will guide you
Until you reach your home above

I hear His sweet words and myself
How can I find a place where I can be still
Then I start to realize
That such a place is disguised
Because anywhere He can meet with me

I sit down on the deck in silence
I do all I can be quiet
As the minutes pass by
My thoughts all but die
Until only His voice I hear

Be still and know my peace
Be still and know my joy
Be still and hear my voice
I will speak to you through the noise
Be still and find new hope
Be still and feel my love
Be still and I will guide you
Until you reach your home above

It’ Been A While

Leave a reply 
It’s been a while since I knelt bedside my bed and prayed
It’s been a while since I opened up the book and read
It’s been a while since I lifted up my arms in praise
But you have been here all along with your amazing grace

It’s been a while since I listened for your words of love
It’s been a while since I thought about your throne above
It’s been a while since I realized you are enough
But you have been there all the time with your redeeming love

Oh God, I miss my talks with you
The fulness of my walks with you
Oh God, I’ve moved so far away from you
Please help me find a way back to your unfailing grace
Have mercy on me now, my Lord, I pray

It’s time to kneel down by my bed to pray
And read the words of your amazing grace
I need to lift my arms and give you praise
For you have been right by me all the way

I soon forget that you are near
And that my prayers you always hear
I must remember that you love me all the time
Help me to see you by my side
Help me to know that you abide
Speak to my heart and open up my simple mind

Oh God, I miss my talks with you
The fulness of my walks with you
Oh God, I’ve moved so far away from you
Please help me find a way back to your unfailing grace
Have mercy on me now, my Lord, I pray
Have mercy on me now, my Lord, I pray

You Alone

Leave a reply 
If I had a nickel for every lie I spoke 
Or if I had a penny for all my wasted hopes
I'd be richer than the richest man the world has ever known
Yet I would be a pauper, stranded and alone 

If I spoke with grand words that motivated you
Or if I was an actor whose movies all would view 
I would be quite famous, a person you all knew
Yet I would be alone, Lord, if I did not have you

CHORUS
You alone bring riches more than this world ever knew 
You alone bring meaning to this lost and lonely world 
You alone can calm my soul when storms come roaring through
You alone, Jesus.   You alone.

If I won every battle and built a fortress grand
Or if, after each struggle, I took a victor’s stance
I’d feel stronger than the strong man who lifts weights every day
Yet I would still be weak against the daily trials I face

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You alone Jesus, you alone
All glory and all honor to you alone
To you alone Jesus I give my life today
You alone, Jesus.  You alone

CHORUS

Every Knee Will Bow

Leave a reply 
I walked through the gates of the city
Made of pearls that were whiter than snow 
The walls were adorned in vast jewelry
And the streets were made out of pure gold

I saw brilliant light all around me
That came from the Lamb on the throne
All around they were singing His praises
And this was the song that arose 

Blessing and glory and honor and power to the Lamb upon the throne
Blessing and glory and honor and power to the Lamb upon the throne 
Every knee will bow
Every tongue will confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord 
Blessing and glory and honor and power to the Lamb upon the throne

I fell to my knees and I worshipped
As the angels flew 'Round the throne
In ine voice they lifted their praises 
To the King of Kings alone

They sang holy, holy, holy is the Lamb
Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy holy, holy is the Lamb 

Blessing and glory and honor and power to the Lamb upon the throne
Blessing and glory and honor and power to the Lamb upon the throne 
Every knee will bow
Every tongue will confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord 
Blessing and glory and honor and power to the Lamb upon the throne

A short worship chorus written on the plane to Boston

Hallelujah 
Hallelujah 
Hallelujah to the great I am
Who is worthy?
None beside thee
Hallelujah to the great I am

For He is worthy, worthy to be praised
He is holy. Jesus is His name 
He is high above all things 
The glorious King of Kings 
Hallelujah, Jesus is His name

He Calls Your Name

Leave a reply 
I didn’t know that I was lost. I always thought I was alright
My life made sense to me. I was enjoying life
Then I looked all around and I saw misery and pain
I wondered to myself, how can this old world change?

I didn’t realize it had to start with me
If I didn’t see my sin I could not be set free
That’s when I picked up the book. His words reached to my soul
I saw my wretchedness in all the stories told

That’s when I knew I had no excuse
I fell on my knees and cried “Jesus save me”

Then He called my name and He raised me up
To stand with Him on solid ground
I am not the same. I have been born again
There is a new song on my lips since He called my name

Now there’s heavenly home waiting ahead for me
My life still has its pains but I have joy and peace
There is no substitute for His amazing grace
You too can find new life iIf you kneel down and pray

Then you will know His love in your soul
Pardon you’ll see when you are set free

When He calls your name, He will raise you up
To stand with Him on solid ground
You will not feel the same.  You will be born again
A new song will rise in you when He calls your name

Jesus calls you out of darkness.  Jesus calls you out of pain
Jesus calls you out of bondage.  Jesus calls you out of shame
Jesus calls you into freedom.  Jesus calls you into love
Jesus calls you into joy and peace that come from above

You Haven’t Given Up On Me

I often wonder how you found me when I was in sin
Your word says you can't look upon the filth that lied within
Yet somehow you looked through my mess and saw my troubled soul 
You reached out and you touched my heart.  By your blood I was made whole

I often wonder how you stay with such a wretch as me
Who, even though you've touched me, still to sin i often flee
Such love I can't imagine that would cover ally shame
That's why each day I lift my hands and praise your holy mane

Jesus, precious Jesus
I'm so glad you haven't given up on me
Jesus, precious Jesus
You will carry me along to victory

I often wonder why you love me even when I fall
You come and pick me up again and then you forgive all
Your mercy still amazes me and I stand in awe of grace
As I humble seek your presence and I yearn to see your face

Jesus, precious Jesus
I'm so glad you haven't given up on me
Jesus, precious Jesus
You will carry me along to victory

You hold me
You love me
You heal me
You deliver me
You free me
You save me
You carry me to victory
