Our Emmanuel

Leave a reply 
I cannot tell thee whence it came
This peace within my soul
When cancer reared it's ugly head
He's all I chose to know
When days were tough and weakness reigned
And I was feeling low
His calm assurance rescued me
From satan's vengeful blow

I stand in His unfailing love
I look to see His face
For He has been so good to me
He showered me with grace
In all the days since illness struck
His merciful embrace
Has held me closely to His side
He's worthy of my praise
Lift His name
His matchless name
Jesus Lamb of God
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Our Emmanuel

When I have gained the victory
And stand whole once again
I know I'll owe it all to Him
My Savior and my friend
I'll lift my voice up louder still
To reace the God of heav'n
Hosanna, praise His mighty name
Jesus Christ the Lamb

Lift His name
His matchless name
Jesus Lamb of God
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Our Emmanuel

I Give Me To You

Leave a reply

How can I say thank you
For such an amazing gift
You gave your life so I could be set free

How can I repay you
For the love that you have shown
When you gave up your glory just for me.

There is no way to pay
There is nothing to do
But to offer up myself to you

I will now say thank you
For all you’ve done for me
I will lift my hands in praise
To you eternally
I will speak your truth
To everyone I know
This is my desire
But here is what I owe

I give you my all
All of myself
All that I do
All that I am
Everything I desire
I find in you
So here is my heart
I give me to you.

I Can Only Give Praise

Leave a reply 
How can I ever repay the debt that you paid for me?
How can I think about anything else than your grace to me?
How can I praise you enough, my Lord?
You gave your life for me.

I can only give praise! The highest praise.
I can give glory to your name. Lift your name on high
I can only give praise. Honor and glory to your name.
I will honor you with all of my life.

How can I thank you for the breath I have every day?
How can I thank you for sounding the beat of my heart?
How can I thank you for shining a light on my way?
How can I thank you enough my Lord
You have loved me from the start.

I can only give praise! The highest praise.
I can give glory to your name. Lift your name on high
I can only give praise. Honor and glory to your name.
I will honor you with all of my life

The praise of my lips, the praise of my heart
Praise by the works of my hands
They all honor you, my glorious Lord
It's the least I can do for you.

I give you praise. The highest praise.
Honor and glory to your name, Lifting your name on high
I give you praise. All of my praise
You are worthy. You are worthy. You are worthy of my praise.


In Your Embrace

Leave a reply 
My life is like a winding trail
That wanders to and fro
Sometimes I am so close to God
And other times I fall
I want my walk much deeper
So He will be my all
Draw me to your side, Oh God

Close to you by your side
In your love I will abide
Holding fast to your sweet grace
Staying close in your embrace

Guide my path keep me near
Your calm voice I long to hear
Gentle Lamb and Kind of Kings
Christ alone my everything

I don’t want to wander
Through this life anymore
I want to follow closely
To the path set by my Lord
Help me God to hear you
And to follow where you lead
That I may always be where I belong

Close to you by your side
In your love I will abide
Holding fast to your sweet grace
Staying close in your embrace

Guide my path keep me near
Your calm voice I long to hear
Gentle Lamb and Kind of Kings
Christ alone my everything

Knocking at your door

To make a brand new start

Longing for your soul

Sometimes I Need

Leave a reply 
Sometimes I need guidance
Sometimes I need peace 
Sometimes I need refuge
From storms that never cease
Sometimes I need healing
From the pains my body feels
But most of all I need Jesus

Sometimes I need shelter 
Sometimes I need warmth
Sometimes I need friendship 
When I feel so all alone
Sometimes I need someone 
To tell my sorrows too
But most of all I need Jesus 

I need Him in the morning
I need Him through the day
I need Him in the evening
As the sun just drifts away
I need Him through the night
I need Him when I pray
I need Him every hour of every day

Sometimes I need comfort
Sometimes I need joy
Sometimes I need wisdom
When my dreams have been destroyed
Sometimes I need mending
When my heart is broke
But most of all I need Jesus

He is all these things to me
All of this and so much more
He fills my every longing
He’s what I’m living for
He’s always right beside me
In my darkest hours
He’s my ever-present help 
In time of need

I need Him in the morning
I need Him through the day
I need Him in the evening
As the sun just drifts away
I need Him through the night
I need Him when I pray
I need Him every hour of every day

In Your Place

Leave a reply 
Can you see Him
Bloodied 
Beaten 
Bruised
Nailed to a cross 
In your place

Can you see Him
Suffering
Sacrificing 
Solitary 
Taking on sin
In your place

Can you hear Him
Thirsty
Forgiving
Compassion 
Agony for hours
In your place

Can you hear Him
Cry out to God
Cry out to man
It is finished 
Gave up His life
For you

Will you trust Him
Give Him your life 
He gave His for you
When He died 
In your place

Will you believe 
Three days later
Rose from the grave 
Our lives to save

Come to Him now
Give Him your life 
Because He gave His 
In your place

Crazy Love

Leave a reply 
You came down from heaven a little babe
Gave up your glory for man to save
Poured out your mercy and your grace
All the way to the grave

You preached three years to people in need
Did many miracles many good deeds
You made enemies of the Pharisees
Just so you could die for me

How crazy is your love Lord your love for me
It reaches to the mountains and across the sea
You tell me you will love me for eternity
How crazy is your love for me

You let them take you freely on that dreadful night
Were beaten, scourged and bloodied what an awful sight
They nailed you to a cross, the day turned into night
You died that day to give me life

Your love is so amazing
Your love is so divine
Your love surpasses all things
Your love will always shine
Your love reached down from heaven
To Calvary that day
How crazy is your love for me	

How crazy is your love Lord your love for me
It reaches to the mountains and across the sea
You tell me you will love me for eternity
How crazy is your love for me
