Come Today

2 Replies

I come to you for healing
I come to you for love
I come to you seeking forgiveness
For the sin that hinders me

I come to you seeking mercy
I come to you needing grace
I come to you with all my troubles
And the storms that steal my peace

Oh Lord please hold me tightly
In your soft and tender arms
Set my feet on solid ground, Lord
Once again forgive my sin

Only you can calm my fears, Lord
Only you can ease my pain
Only you know how I’m suff’ring
From the battle deep within

Holy God, Abba Father
I cry out to you today
How I need you
How I need you
Come Lord Jesus. Come today

In my time of trouble He is always there. When I cry out to Him, He hears my cry and He will answer. He knows my suffering and is acquainted with my ways. He defeated every temptation I face. I can have confidence that He will be there when I need Him. When I wander away He will come and find me just as a shepherd searches for his lost sheep. When I feel worthless, He will come and dig me out just like someone would search out a precious pearl. He is the one who eases my pain, heals my diseases, calms my storms, wins my battles and dries my tears. He is the one who makes me new again, putting my old ways behind so I can follow Him. My Father loves me and will not let anything harm me.

Psalm 91:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

Jesus Rescues All

6 Replies

When the storms of life are gathered
When the waves rise up and fall
When it seems they’ll pull me under
Jesus rescues all

When the miry clay surrounds me
When there seems no hope at all
When I’ve floundered in my failure
Jesus rescues all

From the ashes He has pulled me
From the place my faith dissolved
From my wandering in darkness
Jesus rescues all

From my sin that long beset me
From a life that found no calm
From my doubt and disillusion
Jesus rescues all

Now I find myself in His arms
He’s become my all in all
We can have this bles’sed assurance
Jesus rescues all.

Sometimes we forget who God is. We get into tough situations and can’t seem to find our way out. No matter how hard we try, the trials and tests seem to stay with us. We get impatient and lose hope. We wander in a sea of doubt and sorrow, thinking God has abandoned us.

Jesus said He would never leave us or forsake us. He said we would have tribulation, but that we should take courage for He has overcome the world. He is the one who rescued Joseph out of Pharaohs’ hand and exalted him above the nation. He is the one who brought Israel through the Red Sea and buried the Egyptians in that same sea. He is the one who parted the Jordan river for Joseph and knocked down the walls of Jericho. He is the one who gave Samson the strength to bring down the house on the Philistines. He is the one who guided the stone out of David’s’ sling to bring down Goliath. He brought Daniel out of the lion’s den, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego out of the fiery furnace and Jonah out of the belly of a whale. He called Peter from his fishing boat and made him a pillar in the church. He knocked Saul off his horse on the road to Damascus and made him a great apostle. Do you think you’re problem is too big for God? Trust Him. Wait on Him. Believe in Him. Call on His name and He will answer.

Isaiah 41:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

In Your Own Time

I don’t have to worry
I don’t have to fret
For I know that you
Will get to me yet

Some say pray harder
Some shout demands
But I will be patient
And wait for your hand

In your own time, Lord
In your own time
I know that you will answer
In your own time
So humbly I will ask
For mercy and grace
Then in your own time
You’ll honor my faith

My prayer should be bold
My faith should arise
But you Lord are sovereign
Your answer arrives

In your own time, Lord
In your own time
In your own time
Your answer arrives
So humbly I’ll ask
For mercy and grace
Then in your own time
You’ll honor my faith

When all seems lost and I’m all alone
You are there for me
When times get hard and I lose my hope
You are there for me

That’s when I trust in your mercy
That’s when I trust in your grace
That’s when I place my life in your hands
I know that you love me so

When I can’t seem to find my way home
You are there for me
When My path seems to always roam
You are there for me

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You are my everlasting Father
You’re my desire and my strength
You are the one that I long for
Every day!

CHORUS

You are the one that I long for

Lord, You’re Alive

Leave a reply

On that old cross
You took my sin
My soul to win
On that cross of shame

I’ll never know
The weight you bore
But I am sure
It brought you pain

But you never wavered
You never complained
Laid in a borrowed tomb
The vict’ry obtained

Then in the morning
The stone rolled away
Death was defeated
You rose from the grave

Lord, you’re alive
My Lord, your alive
You have risen up
From death to life
My Lord, you’re alive

Lord, you’re alive
My Lord, your alive
You have risen up
From death to life
My Lord, you’re alive

 

Just Pray

In the darkness
In the quiet
In the loneliness they felt
Women weeping
Men in anguish
Their world had been upset

Yesterday
They saw Him die
Jesus was their closest friend
For three years
Day after day
They had heard Him preach the word

They saw Him heal the sick
Raise the dead
Open blind eyes
Make the deaf to hear
The dumb to speak
Cleanse the leper
Stop the issue of blood
Turn water into wine
They saw Him do all these things
Now He was gone
They were alone

I can imagine
They took time to pray
Time to reflect on all He had done
He told them he would rise form the dead
Bit they did not believe that was possible
All they could do was pray
Ask God what’s next
What do they do now?

Isn’t that what we should ask
What now Lord?
What is your next task
Your next mission
Who should I witness to
What should I say
Give me the words
And the boldness
These are things we should pray about
Not to be blessed
But to be a blessing
In times of uncertainty
As the disciples certainly had this day
Pray
Then pray some more
Then pray even more
Pray and God will answer
Pray and God will speak
Pray and God will show you His way
Just pray!

He Gives Me the Power

He gives me the power
Resurrection power
Dead come back to life
Sight unto the blind

He gives me the power
Overwhelming power
Darkness into light
Dormant take to flight

By His blood I can do anything
By His cross His praise is all I sing

What a Savior. What a friend
Who brought me up from the grave
What a wondrous gift He gives
All my days for Him I’ll live

He gives me the power
Overcoming power
Sadness becomes joy
Peace that calms the storm

By His blood I can do anything
By His cross His praise is all I sing

What a Savior. What a friend
Who brought me up from the grave
What a wondrous gift He gives
All my days for Him I’ll live

Hallelujah. Hallelujah
Hallelujah. Hallelujah
What a Savior. What a friend
I will love Him ‘til my end

You Amaze Me

Out of the ashes. Out of the night
Out of the darkness. I come to you

Out of my sin. Out of my pain
Out of my weakness. I come to you

CHORUS
You wait for me to come to you
I stand amazed at your great love
You died for me when I was lost
What a gracious God you are
What a gracious God you are

Into your presence. Into your light
Into your Spirit. I come to you

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You amaze me
You amaze me
You amaze me by your mercy Lord (REPEAT)

CHORUS

The Only One

Leave a reply

Where does the power come from
Where does your grace reside
Where can I find forgiveness
At the cross. The wonderful cross

Where was I healed from sickness
Where was my shame washed away
Where is there found true freedom
At the cross. The wonderful cross

CHORUS
No other place on earth nor in heaven high above
Has God come down to man to show His eternal love
No sacrifice was greater than God giving His only son
No other one can save us. Jesus is the only one

Where did He give me new life
Where was heaven made home
Where did He gain the victory
At the tomb when He rose again

CHORUS

BRIDGE
He rose in power and glory
He rose in majesty
He rose so we could rise with Him
When He shall return again

CHORUS
