His Amazing Love

Leave a reply 
Higher than the mountains 
Wider than the oceans 
Deeper than the canyons
That’s His love for me
Purer than spring water
Makes us sons and daughters
Fills our heart with wonder 
That's His love for me
What amazing love He has for me
When He gave His life on Calvary
He left His royal throne
To come and die alone
All so I could be set free

Always sends His blessings
Joy that’s never ending
Fills me so my heart sings
That’s His love for me

Peace that calms my heart’s cry
Guides me safely through trials
His Spirit teaches me life
That’s His love for me

What amazing love He has for me
He rose from death and lives again
And one day He’ll return
To bring me home with Him
To a mansion He’s prepared just for me
 
What amazing love He has for me
I can only lift my voice and sing
Jesus is His name
I’ll give all my praise
Forever He will be my Lord and King

Have You Seen The Lord Today

Leave a reply 
Have you seen the Lord today?
Looked in His eyes?
Have you walked down His street?
Have you stopped to say Hi?

There was that beggar who asked you for bread
You walked on by, hanging your head
You had the money to spare him a dime
But you did not want to take the time

You passed by a lame man trying to walk
Your spirit said help him, but the flesh just balked
You watched as he fell and tried to get up
But you did not want to stay and get stuck

Then there’s that girl who asked you the time
She said she was late, but you drove on by
You were going her way with plenty of room
But you were afraid she would do harm to you

Have you seen the Lord today?
Looked in His eyes?
Have you walked down His street?
Have you stopped to say Hi?

Jesus said even when I do it for them
It is the same as I’d done it for Him
If I’d look in their eyes, I’d see my Lord
As He asks me to help His floundering child

When will I learn to reach out in faith
And help those in need when they pass by my way
God showed me His mercy when I was so lost
Now I must reach out and help His dear cause

Every day we’d see the Lord if we’d look
Every day we can do what he says in His book
Every day we can show grace to meet needs
Every day we must reach out and believe

Have you seen the Lord today?
Looked in His eyes?
Have you walked down His street?
Have you stopped to say Hi?

My Past Has Passed

Leave a reply 
Your love is more than I can fathom
Your hope is way beyond compare
I can't imagine why you chose to save me
When all I did was mock your name

When I fall into sin you send mercy 
When trials come around you lend grace
I see your hand surround me when I wander
And gently lead me back to your embrace

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what's best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I have been blessed by the joy that you give
It overwhelms me each day that I live
Your peace is a river that flows slow and free
I am so thankful that you have blessed me

When sickness of pain should enter my life
I know that you’ll heal me in your chosen time
And if I should lose someone real close to me
I know that your spirit will comfort my grief

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what's best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I can’t praise you enough for what you have done
Or for what you are going to do
So I yield control to your marvelous plan
And I lift my worship to you

Tell Them

Leave a reply 

Today the Lord was calling in a voice so sweet and low
He said “Son, there’s something special that everyone should know.
It’s really not a secret.  It’s written in my book.
But there are way too many who never take a look.”

I asked the Lord how I could help to get to everyone
This world is so enormous.  I’d never get it done
He said “My child it’s simple, just start with that one there
And one by one you will surely make this world aware.

So I said “I’ll do it Lord, I’ll take your message out
I’ll speak it in the marketplace.  I’ll travel all about.
Just let me know the words that I should share today”
And then I heard His gentle voice say

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love
Tell them I love them, and I want them here above
I sent my Son to take their place
They’re covered by my endless grace
Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

I said “My Lord, I know it’s true that you have love for me
This world is very skeptical because of what they see
The violence and suff’ring seem to get worse every day
There’s many who blame you for this – then what should I say.”

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love
Tell them I love them, and I want them here above
I sent my Son to take their place
They’re covered by my endless grace
Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

And then He whispered in my ear that many just don’t know
Because we’ve turned our churches into places for a show
The truth that they must make the choice of heaven or of hell
Is something that few preachers are still willing to tell

He said “I need the laborers to get out in the field
The harvest is awaiting, and they need someone real
To tell them of this love I have for every single one
I’ve done all that I can do – I sent my only Son”

Okay, I got the message Lord, the gospel is enough
I’ll go out into all the world and tell them of your love
That Jesus died to take our sins and wash them all away
That message is more powerful than any words I say

I’ll tell them that you love them with an everlasting love
I’ll tell them that you love them, and you want them up above
You sent your Son to take their place
They’re covered by your endless grace
I’ll tell them that you love them, and that should be enough”

Wondrous God

Leave a reply 
Can I get a witness for our God most high
Who set the world in motion from beyond the sky
He made this lovely planet just for you and I
Oh what a wondrous God we serve

Wonderful He is to me
Wondrous God we serve
Sent His Son to Calvary
His grace I don’t deserve
Now He watches over me
His blessings are reserved
I can’t worship Him enough
Wondrous God we serve

Can I get a witness for the Son who came
To die a beggar’s death to take my sin and shame
Then He rose to heaven.  He’s alive again
Oh what a wondrous God we serve

Marvelous He is to me
Wondrous God we serve
Mercy flowing wide and free
None that I deserve
His great love surrounds me
Even when I swerve
I can’t worship Him enough
Wondrous God we serve

Can I get a witness for the Holy Ghost
Who guides us every day if the Son we chose
He guides us to the truth, keeps us on our toes
Oh what a wondrous God we serve

I will lift His name on high
I’ll shout it out to all the sky
And share it with the passers-by
What a wondrous God 
I’ll live for Him all of my days
And do my best to show His ways
To all who I may reach each day
What a wondrous God

Wonderful He is to me
Wondrous God we serve
Sent His Son to Calvary
His grace I don’t deserve
Now He watches over me
His blessings are reserved
I can’t worship Him enough
Wondrous God we serve

Magnificent Mercy

Leave a reply 
I vowed to you Lord that I would obey
And promised to do everything you say
As I go through this life day after day 
But then I slipped and fell

You came to me and lifted me up
You dusted me off and offered your cup
You said start again and never give up
Your forgiven all over again

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that's more than enough

I try day by day to be worthy
But I succumb to my frailties 
Gossip or anger or what my eyes see 
Drop me from pure to my knees

But you never speak condemnation 
You offer me your consolation 
And show me your endless compassion
As you take my hand once again

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that's more than enough

You always forgive when I stumble
You always forgive my mistakes
You're always right there
To show me you care
And you'll do whatever it takes
Yes, you'll do whatever it takes

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that's more than enough

All Through The Day

Leave a reply 
I rejoice that I'm still alive
And I give praise to Jesus my Savior
Who has saved me and gave me new life

When I rise from my bed every morning
I feel that I am so blessed
That I still have the strength to be mobile
And to rise up after my rest

When I eat that good meal in the morning
I praise God for all He gives
For He's the provider of all I have
And His love is why I exist

All through the day I praise Him
I worship His arms which embrace
For He opens my eyes to see Him
And He gives His amazing grace

Songs From Above

Leave a reply 
I sing my songs to Jesus.  Love songs just for Him
He purchased my salvation, so to Him my praise I bring
Songs of joy and gladness are in my heart today
He leads me by His truth and daily lights my way

I love the book of hymns that were written long ago
Amazing Grace, He’s Alive, It is Well With My Soul
I also like the new music so abundant out today
There’s a rising up in worship that I hope won’t go away

But more than anything I love the songs he gives to me
In middle of the night He opens up my eyes to sing
I sit down very calmly and he gives me every word
Then I put the rhythm to it, and His story is now heard

I’ll give you some examples of the words to these new songs
The melody you’ll have to guess, as a video I don’t have
I hope these words will touch your lives as they have touched mine
If nothing else I hope your blessed by the nice poetic rhyme

Song #1  I Want to Thank You Lord

I want to thank you, Lord, for your mercy in my life
I want to thank you Lord, for your great sacrifice
You have given me your all
Help me give my all to you
I want to thank you, Lord  (This part is sung three times)

You deserve the highest praise
You deserve the highest praise
You deserve the highest praise
My heart can give (This part is sung twice, then close with the first part)

Song #2  We Lift You Up

(softly and soulfully)
As we come into your presence
And we turn our hearts to you
We out aside our care if earthly things
We have come to seek your kingdom
And we long for righteousness
Precious Lord, we want to glorify your name

We lift you up, we lift you up
We lift you up, Oh Lord, and praise your holy name
We lift you up, we lift you up
Come and draw us near to you, we lift you up (back to top first time through)

(with much enthusiasm)
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord (Back to we lift you up, with gusto!)

There’s a few examples of the songs He’s given me
There are hundreds more He’s blessed me with
I hope He never stops waking me in dead of night
To share with me these love songs I can give

The Greatest Love Song

Leave a reply 
I don’t think I will ever see
A love song start this way
When He gave up all of heavens praise
To come here as a babe

I don’t think I will ever know
A child who was so meek
He worked those years in Fathers shop
When He knew who He would be

Then the love song picks up tempo
As He’s baptized with such grace
The Holy Spirit declares His name
And He starts to show His face

Then He teaches for the next 3 years
The people flock to see Him
He brings healing and deliverance
And sets His fire within

But the love song takes a bitter tone
As the leaders plot against Him
And with the help of one of His own
They take Him and arrest Him

The music is so melancholy
As the crowd cries crucify
And they beat Him, mock Him, scourge Him
And nail Him up so high

But this is where the love song shows
His deepest love for me
As He cries out from the cross “Forgive”
And from sin He sets me free

And even though he bows His head
And dies at Calvary
The love song doesn’t end right there
One last stanza’s meant for me

For in three days He rose again
His spirit won’t depart
His love will keep Him at our side
As He lives inside our heart

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus
Oh the beauty of His plan
He has given all for me
Now He holds me in His hand

Oh the precious song He’s written
With His life so full of love
Tis the greatest love song written
Coming down from heaven above
