The Assignment

4 Replies

 What is my assignment Lord
 To carry out today
 What can I do to please you
 To show others your way
 I want to be a shining light
 In this world today
 Tell me what your plan is Lord
 Give me words to say
  
 It’s simple son says Jesus
 My plan is in my word
 Take time to read your Bible
 Take time to observe
 Then do the thing it tells you
 Do all that you have heard
 My Spirit speaks each day to you
 Revealing all my words
  
 Pray unceasingly, my child
 Pray for those in need
 Speak with words of grace
 Plant redeeming seeds
 Lay your hands on those who hurt
 Free them of dis-ease
 Walk in true humility
 Be a friend in deed
  
 Stay away from evil
 Cleave to what is good
 Be a friend to all 
 Who are misunderstood
 Be a shining light
 To break the darkest moods
 Show joy and peace at all times
 Let your words be good
  
 The assignment here is simple
 You can do it every day
 Walk with Jesus daily
 In His holy way
 Then you will see a world
 That’s full of truth and grace
 Be a beacon of His love
 And give Him all the praise

 For my aches and pains
 Help me to believe, Lord
 Help me breathe again

 For all who are in need
 Help me to reach out, Lord
 Help me do good deeds
  
 Lord I need deliverance
 From the mess I’m in
 Help me see your grace, Lord
 Help me rise within

Mercy Now Is Mine

 His mercy overflows
 Into my heart and soul
 Awakening my heart
 Mercy will not depart
 Enduring for all time
 Great mercy now is mine
 Redeeming me from sin
 Delivers me again
 I know His love is sure
 His mercy does endure
 My hope will rest in Him
 With mercy I will win
 Nothing will take away
 This love I feel today
 For mercy now is mine
 And will be for all time

My Savior Lives

 He knows my need
 He knows me need
 When I am afraid
 He knows my need
  
 He hears my prayer
 He hears my prayer
 When I’m feeling down
 He hears my prayer
  
 He gives me peace
 He gives me peace
 When the storms arise
 He gives me peace
  
 He sends His joy
 He sends His joy
 When sorrow takes hold
 He sends His joy
  
 He’s always there
 He’s always there
 When I’m all alone
 He’s always there
  
 He died for me
 He died for me
 He shed His blood
 He died for me
  
 He saved my soul
 He saved my soul
 I was lost in sin
 He saved my soul
  
 He’s coming back
 He’s coming back
 He will take me home
 When He comes back
  
 I’ll praise His name
 I’ll praise His name
 My Savior lives
 I’ll praise His name

Grace is Greater

2 Replies

 His grace is greater
 Than all my troubles
 He watches o’er me
 When I fall down
  
 His grace is greater
 Than all my weakness
 He keeps me floating
 When I could drown
  
 His grace is greater
 Than all my struggles
 He walks beside me
 When I’m alone
  
 His grace is greater
 Than my temptations
 He speaks so softly
 And gives me hope
 Just enough for today
 And not for tomorrow
 Yesterday’s grace is gone
 Day after day
 Like the manna from heaven
 I have to depend on Him
  
 Grace, grace, Great grace
 Greater than all my life could need
 Grace, grace
 God’s grace
 Grace that is greater than anything.

Even When

 Even when I'm hurting
 Even when I cannot hear your voice
 I'll praise your name
  
 Even when I'm lonely
 Even when I cannot feel your touch
 'll praise your name
  
 Even when my life seems out of place
 Even when a smile evades my face
 Even when I've lost that sense of grace
 I will praise you
 
 I will praise you
 I will lift your name up high
 I will praise you
 I will lift you up
 For you are worthy of my praise
  
 Even when I'm troubled
 Even when I don't deserve your grace
 I'll praise your name
  
 Even when I'm humbled
 Even when I feel I've fallen down
 I'll praise your name
  
 Even when my thought life isn't great
 Even when my prayers all seem to late
 Even when I've lost that sense of grace
 I will praise you
 
 I will praise you
 I will lift your name up high
 I will praise you

 For you are worthy of my praise

Fill Me With You

 
  I come to you hungry, Lord 
 Hungry for mercy, Lord
 Hungry for manna from your living word
  
 I come to you thirsty, Lord 
 Thirsty for more of you
 Thirsty for living water of life 
  
 I come to you broken 
 Broken and spilled out
 Please come and fill me
 Fill me with you
  
 More of you Jesus
 More of you Jesus
 More of you Jesus 
 Fill me with you

He Calls

 He hears our every prayer
 He sees our every tear
 He heals our every wound
 He calms our every fear
 He fills our heart with peace
 He soothes out soul with joy
 He gives us grace for sin
 He’s Jesus, Lord of Lords
  
 He came to earth a child
 He grew to be a man
 He taught us about love
 He taught us of His plan
 He gave His life for me
 He sacrificed it all
 He died and rose again
 He lives and me He calls
  
 He calls me to forgive
 He calls me to have grace
 He calls me to spread love
 He calls me to sing praise
 He calls me out of darkness
 He calls me into light
 He calls me every day
 He calls me to do right
  
 Jesus, blessed Jesus
 May I head your call
 Help me to have mercy
 Help me forgive all
 Help me sound the trumpet
 For your return one day
 Help me to show others
 The truth, the life and the way

The Great I Am

 I cannot think of one thing 
 That I would rather do
 Then lift my eyes to heaven
 And sing my praise to you
  
 King of all creation
 Lord of all the earth
 All of nature lifts their voice
 With praises you deserve
  
 Glory to the Father
 Glory to the Son
 Glory to the Spirit
 Three in one
  
 Lifting Hallelujahs
 To the risen Lamb
 Highest adoration
 To the great I Am
