Power that nobody else can gain
Wisdom that nobody else can attain
Mercy that forgives again and again
Unlimited is our God

Joy that will fill me when troubles arise
Peace that will come when the storm clouds rise
Hope that will carry me all of my life
Unlimited is our God

Unlimited are His days
Unlimited is His grace
All that I need
He gives to me
He is unlimited

There is no measure there is no end
There is no boundary stopping His hand
When God is for me no harm can stand
Unlimited is our God

Unlimited are His days
Unlimited is His grace
All that I need
He gives to me
He is unlimited

Then there’s His love
Unlimited love
That reached to a sinner like me
He suffered so much
Than died on a cross
Unlimited love set me free

Unlimited are His days
Unlimited is His grace
All that I need
He gives to me
He is unlimited

Be Still

4 Replies

Silently I come before you
Listening for the Spirit’s call
Seeking you in humble reverence
Giving you my heart and soul

Lord I want to draw in closer
Have you whisper in my ear
Feel your presence as I linger
Bringing you my heartfelt prayer

Being still before you
To know that you are God
I come to thee
Silently
Listening for your love

Now I wait in expectation
Knowing you will honor faith
Patiently I bow before you
Your voice I anticipate

Being still before you
To know that you are God
I come to thee
Silently
Listening for your love

I long to hear your voice
I long to see your face
I look up and rejoice
To you I lift my praise

Being still before you
To know that you are God
I come to thee
Silently
Listening for your love

Simple Trust

2 Replies

Flush with excitement
Hopelessly in love
I await Him
I know He will soon come
Because I called out to Him
He promised He would always be near
I don’t worry
I don’t doubt
I simply trust He’ll be here
His loving arms will wrap around me
He’ll hold me close
He’ll tell me that He loves me
What a mighty God I serve!

Mercy For Every

2 Replies

For every storm
For every pain
His mercy comes again

For every doubt
For every fear
His mercy’s always near

For every sigh
For every shame
His mercy still remains

For every sin
For every stain
His mercy is my gain

There’s no end to His mercy
There’s nothing that prevails
For every situation
His mercy never fails

For every one
Who’s lost in sin
His mercy is for every

For every one
Who feels left out
His mercy is for every

For every one
Who has some doubts
His mercy is for every

For every one
Whose lost their shout
His mercy is for every

There’s no end to His mercy
There’s nothing that prevails
For every situation
His mercy never fails

Every father, every son
Every daughter, every one
Every mother in her love
His mercy is for every

Isn’t It a Wonder

Leave a reply

Isn’t it a wonder when the sun slowly sets
The clouds scatter out on display
The glistening light
Forms a beautiful sight
The painting takes my breath away

Isn’t it a wonder that stars roam the sky
Their brilliance is always displayed
The patterns we see
Are truly unique
They remain constant day after day

Isn’t it a wonder that flowers can bloom
From one little seed in the ground
Some water and light
Give them more than just life
When I come close their fragrance is found

Isn’t it a wonder how birds fly so free
Their wings carry them through the sky
Mere feathers and bones
Arranged in a row
They can soar without knowing why

Isn’t it a wonder that I can stand here
When I am but dust of the earth
He formed me by hand
Made me who I am
My make-up has so little worth

Isn’t it a wonder that I can see
I can speak and I even hear
This small pile of dust
Was formed out of trust
That I would praise Him who formed me

Isn’t it a wonder that God would love me
He’s always right there by my side
He still cares for me
Even when I displease
His mercy and grave override

Isn’t it a wonder that God sent His son
To die on a cross for me
When I give Him my life
He will raise me up high
In heaven one day I will be

Nothing Sound

3 Replies

One day hot the next day cold
One day sun then clouds enfold
One day dry the next day rain
Patterns never are the same

One day right the next day wrong
Morals wain as sin is strong
No more can we know the truth
No more can we trust their fruit

Ever changing world around
Nothiing constant nothing sound
Reeling in a world of duubt
Willl the truth ever come out

Only one thing always stays
One thing still remains the same
Jesus loves you, thiis  know
For the Bible tells me so

In response to the daily prompt Constant

How Can I Keep Silent

5 Replies

How can I keep silent
When birds sing out their praise
They greet the sun each morning
With songs that lift His name

How can I keep silent
When sunrise lights the sky
The colors give Him glory
As gilded clouds shine bright

How can I keep silent
While trees wave praise all day
The rustling of their leaves
Shout out in lofty praise

Can you hear their worship
Can you see their praise
Lifted up to heaven
Honoring His name
Their song lifts up to heaven
Their glory fills the skies
How can i keep silent
While nature testifies

How can I keep silent
When babbling brooks proclaim
A song of hallelujah
Proceeds throughout they day

How can I keep silent
When stars praise in the night
Twinkling in wonder
Of His power and might

Will you rise and worship
Will you rise in praise
Sing out hallelujah
Glorify His name
My heart beats in wonder
My soul leaps within
Longing to rejoice
And lift my voice to Him

I will lift my eyes to heaven
I will raise my hands up high
I will not be silent
I will testify
Glory to the King of Kings
Glory to the Lamb
I will sing His praises
I will worship Him

The Treasure

2 Replies

I’ve wandered through the valley
I’ve scaled the mountain heights
I’ve travelled down the rivers
Below the stars so bright
In all my earthly travels
And exploits far and wide
Jesus is more beautiful than all

I’ve tasted of the finest foods
I’ve smelled sweet odors vast
I’ve heard the songs of whippoorwills
Deep in the heartland grass
In all that I’ve partaken
Throughout this blessed life
Jesus is the sweetest of them all

Diamonds don’t compare to Him
Rubies fade away
Emeralds lose their luster
Gold is dull and gray
He shines as brightly as the sun
He glimmers in my eye
Jesus is my treasure
Today and for all time

I’ve been with men of high estate
I’ve tasted of that life
I’ve had my days of wealth and fame
I’ve scaled the corporate heights
With all the people I have met
Their power and their might
Jesus is the mightiest of all

In all of His greatness
His mercy covers me
In all of His grandeur
His grace is all I need
Powerful and Mighty
King of Kings is He
Yet He loves me more than I can see

Diamonds don’t compare to Him
Rubies fade away
Emeralds lose their luster
Gold is dull and gray
He shines as brightly as the sun
He glimmers in my eye
Jesus is my treasure
Today and for all time

Give Them Away

10 Replies

He gave to me mercy
So I could be free
He gave to me grace
So my eyes could see
He gave to me joy
It gushes in me
On top of all that
He gave me His peace

Oh what a blessing to live for the Lord
I am so glad He’s the one I adore
He gives me so much
He tells me I must
Give to others what He’s given me

He gave to me hope
Now heaven is mine
He gave me forgiveness
He’s good and He’s kind
He gave me His love
So faithful and true
He gave me all this
So I’d give it to you

Oh what a blessing to live for the Lord
I am so glad He’s the one I adore
He gives me so much
He tells me I must
Give to others what He’s given me

These things that He gave me
These gifts of His love
Should flow out of me to touch you
These things should give life
To all who know me
If His will I’ve decided to do
They’re not for hoarding
Or holding on to
I need to give then away
When I follow Him
With all that I am
I’ll give them away every day

Oh what a blessing to live for the Lord
I am so glad He’s the one I adore
He gives me so much
He tells me I must

Close To You

4 Replies

When my eyes are weary and I lay me down
I can trust in you, Lord, to bring the calm
From a busy day to a quiet night
Knowing you’ll be near until the light

When I raise my head to the newborn day
I will look to you, Lord, to find my way
You will lead me on through the day ahead
As your Spirit speaks and my heart obeys.

Close to you, close to you
Every moment, this I choose
Never far from your sweet call
Close to you, you’re my all

When my way is lonely, and I’m feeling sad
I can look to you, Lord, and I’ll be glad
Just to know you walk every step with me
I can go through life knowing you are near

You will never leave me,
Never desert me
Never stop loving me
Never stop giving
Never be angry
Never give up on me

Close to you, close to you
Every moment, this I choose
Never far from your sweet call
Close to you, you’re my all
