Through the Storm

I come to you down on my knees
Hoping you will hear my plea
Ease my suff’ring ease my pain
So I can praise you once again

You speak to me so plain and clear
Making sure that I will hear
When you praise me through the storm
I will rescue you from harm

Through the storm I’ll praise you
Through the storm I’ll worship
Every trial
Every test
Will find me praising you

I rise up from my knees in haste
I lift my voice in grateful praise
Your word has spoken to my heart
From your praise I’ll not depart

Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah to my King
Hallelujah hallelujah
Praise to you I sing

Through the storm I’ll praise you
Through the storm I’ll worship
Every trial
Every test
Will find me praising you

This Vessel

Leave a reply

I lift my cup to you Lord
This vessel that is me
I ask that you will fill it
With what I’m meant to be
So far my life has wandered
This clay must be renewed
I ask you to reform it
So I am more like you

You know what I was made for
I want to fit your plan
Please start this vessel over
And mold me with your hands
Make me a humble servant
Who’s filled with your desire
Then let your Spirit guide me
To be a holy fire

Break me Lord
Make me yours
Fill me up
So mercy pours
All that come
Near to me
May they always
Your love see

I yield myself to you Lord
My body soul and mind
I seek to do your will Lord
To all who I can find
May your grace guide my path
And flow to everyone
Once you have finished molding
And this vessel is redone

Break me Lord
Mold me new
That I might be
More like you
Cause me Lord
To yield my life
Make me a living
Sacrifice
May my life
Always be
All for you Lord
Not for me

Greater Higher Stronger

My God is greater
Greater than all kings on earth
Greater than the stars above
Greater than the ocean waves
He’s greater

My God is higher
Higher than the mountain peaks
Higher than the billowed clouds
Higher than the eagle soars
He’s higher

My God is stronger
Stronger than the lion’s roar
Stronger than the Northwest wind
Stronger then the mighty oak
He’s stronger

There is nothing that can stop Him
Nothing overtakes Him
Nothing overcomes Him
He’s greater

There is nothing that’s above Him
Nothing that can top Him
Nothing overshadows Him
He’s higher

There is nothing that can catch Him
Nothing can subdue Him
Nothing stands against Him
He’s stronger

What a mighty God I serve
He’s the one who rescues me
He’s the one who calms my fears
He’s the one who holds my hand
He alone delivers me
He alone gives life to me
He alone is always near
What a mighty God

Greater higher stronger
Than anything on this earth
Yet He listens to my prayers
They move Him

Greater higher stronger
Than all of His creation
Yet He hears my heartfelt cries
The move Him

Greater higher stronger is our God
Greater higher stronger is our God
Greater higher stronger
Greater higher stronger
Greater higher stronger is our God

The Sovereign One

Desire of my heart
The song of my soul
That’s what my God is to me
Protector
Provider
Deliverer
Restorer
All by His mercy

Creator
Redeemer
Forgiver
My Savior
His grace daily covers me
And when I lie down
In my bed at night
His Spirit will watch over me

So I will praise Him
My heart will adore Him
For all that He is
And all that He’s done

And I will worship
In awe and in wonder
Majestic is He
Holy is He
Worthy is He
The Sovereign one

We will discover
That there is no other
Of such awesome power
And wonderful love

So I stand amazed
At His grace and His mercy
For He rules the heavens
And He is enough

Come To The Altar

Perhaps your week has been hectic
You haven’t had time to pray
You feel all alone
Things seem so wrong
All that can change today

Maybe your whole life’s been filled up
With the cares of this world we’re in
God’s been squeezed out
Now you’re filled with doubt
There’s a place you’ll find peace again

Come to the altar
Cry out to Jesus
He’s longing to hear your voice
Seeking His mercy
Grace everlasting
Let’s come to the altar of God

At the altar you’ll find forgiveness
You can pour out your heart to Him
He’ll hear your heart’s cry
When you kneel at His side
Bring all your burdens to Him

Come to the altar
Cry out to Jesus
He’s longing to hear your voice
Seeking His mercy
Grace everlasting
Let’s come to the altar of God

He is here He is here
He is near He is near
Come and cry out to God
He is ready to answer your prayer

Come to the altar
Cry out to Jesus
He’s longing to hear your voice
Seeking His mercy
Grace everlasting
Let’s come to the altar of God

That’s When Jesus Calls

Leave a reply

In the midst of your troubles when life seems so hard
You try to find rest but don’t get very far
Life just seems so messed up wherever you are
That’s when Jesus calls

In the midst of the pain and illness you face
All of your body seems out of place
One thing or another makes your health a waste
That’s when Jesus calls

He calls us to show mercy
He calls us to show grace
He calls us to take heed and look above
When you are at the bottom
Be still and hear His voice
He’s calling you testify
He’s calling you to lift Him high
He’s calling you to tell of His great love

When it seems that we’re in the worst battles of life
And wherever we turn it just adds to our strife
That’s when we have to give praise we’re alive
For that’s when Jesus calls

In the midst of struggle
Mercies are all new
In the midst of struggle
His grace still blesses you
In the midst of struggle
Be careful what you do
This is the best time to praise His name

He calls us to show mercy
He calls us to show grace
He calls us to take heed and look above
When you are at the bottom
Be still and hear His voice
He’s calling you testify
He’s calling you to lift Him high
He’s calling you to tell of His great love

And I’ll testify

I’ll testify of His great love for me
I’ll testify how He set me free
I’ll testify of all he has done
I’ll show them Jesus one by one

 

I Have the Answer

Are you tired
Tired from life’s battles
Tired from inner struggles
Tired of financial stress
Tired of people saying they will help
And they don’t
Tired of people making promises
And they don’t
Tired of hearing their excuses
Tired of bickering and complaining
Tired of backbiting and gossip
Tired of being tired
I have an answer for you
His name is Jesus
He will pick you up when you fall down
He will carry you when you can’t go on
He will give you strength when you are weak
He will give you mercy and grace
He will only say good things to you
He will lift you up in His arms
His everlasting arms
And care for you as His own
Come to Jesus
He is your answer

Are you troubled
Troubled by the things of this world
Troubled by weather that doesn’t cooperate
Troubled by people coming against you
Telling lies about you
Cheating you
Stealing hope from you
Stealing peace from you
Stealing joy from you
Troubled by circumstances you can’t control
Troubled by shattered hopes and dreams
Troubled about being stuck in the same spot
Seeming to go nowhere
At a dead end in life it seems
Losing momentum to go forward
And drifting away from your own path
Are you troubled by trouble
I have an answer for you
His name is Jesus
He can calm the storm
He can stop the waves from coming against you
He can calm the wind from tossing you about
He has a plan for you
A good plan
A plan to give you an expected end
A plan for prosperity and good success
He will lead you beside still waters
He will lead you to green pastures
He will guide you by His Spirit
He will bring you out of the wilderness
Into a land flowing with milk and honey
Come to Jesus
He is your answer

Are you lonely
In a world full of people
All alone
No one seems to care
No one wants to help
No one sees your suffering
Hurting
Dying inside
All alone even when with someone
They don’t see you
They don’t hear your cry for help
They don’t answer when you need them
Plenty of Facebook friends
But no friends
No one to stand in the gap for you
No one who prays for you daily
No one who shows they really care
Are you all alone and lonely
I have an answer for you
His name is Jesus
He will never leave you
Or forsake you
He will come alongside and comfort you
He will fill your heart with joy and peace
He will talk with you in the dark of the night
He will be there when no one else will
He will be in your thoughts
He will be in your dreams
He will be at your work
He will be at your bedside
He will walk with you in the way
He will be with you when you rise up
He will be with you when you lie down
He will be with you when you take nourishment
He will always be there
To hear your prayers
He will not hide from you
He will not ignore you
He will not walk away from you’
He will always be right there
Come to Jesus
He is your answer

Headed to the Other Side

3 Replies

I love to sit and watch in the calm before the storm
In the distance lightning flashes as the thunder sounds alarm
I can smell the fragrance of the rain that fills the air so warm
And I know I am safe from harm

Suddenly the wind picks up as the storm clouds whirl around
The rain begins to strike the trees then pummel to the ground
The thunder and the lightning throughout the sky abound
Yet I know I am safe and sound

I’m headed to the other side safe in Jesus’ arms
I’m headed to the other side with overwhelming calm
His peace is all around me
Though storm and wind I see
He promised we’d go to the other side

I watch the storm pass over as the wind starts to abate
The clouds unfold above me like the opening of a gate
The blue sky and the sun appear as though they’re never late
Then a rainbow marks the sky as I wait

I’m headed to the other side safe in Jesus’ arms
I’m headed to the other side with overwhelming calm
His peace is all around me
Though storm and wind I see
He promised we’d go to the other side

I waited on His mercy
I waited in His grace
To get me through the storms
To bring me to this place
I’m on the other side
Safe within His arms
I’ll never leave my Lord
He keeps me from all harm

I’m headed to the other side safe in Jesus’ arms
I’m headed to the other side with overwhelming calm
His peace is all around me
Though storm and wind I see
He promised we’d go to the other side
