Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday I was a sinner
Lost in the depths of despair
I had no hope
And I could not cope
And I didn’t really care

Yesterday hell was my future
I partied all the night long
I didn’t know
That I was so low
Until someone showed I was wrong

Then I met Jesus and life took a turn
My sin was all gone and a new life begun
He saved me from hell and turned me around
Now I am standing on solid ground

Today I am forgiven
The slate of my life is wiped clean
He died for my sin
Gave me peace within
The greatest gift I’ve ever seen

Today heaven’s my future
Eternal life spent with Him
He rose again
Death does not reign
Due to His love I win

When I met Jesus, everything changed
He buried my past and showed me His plan
Now all I want is to tell everyone
Their future is better with Jesus the Son

Tomorrow life can be different
You don’t have to live in your sin
He gave His life
The supreme sacrifice
So that you could have His joy within

Tomorrow, you can know heaven
And the glorious future He’s planned
Accept Him today
Repent and be saved
And forever you’ll dwell in His hand

Reach The Lost

I will cling to you, Jesus 
All your words are true, Jesus
Everything you say
Everything you do
Is always for my good

I will follow you, Jesus
All my heart to you, Jesus
I will never fear
As long as you are near
Hold me in your arms

There is comfort in the arms of Jesus
There's a peace that He only can give
Life is more when He is my Shepard
In His presence is where I'll live

There is healing in the name of Jesus
Every hurt, every scar, every pain
Has to flee at his glorious mention
His mercy comes again and again

I will worship you, Jesus
All my praise to you, Jesus
Lifting up my voice
I will rejoice
At the sound of your name

I will bow to you, Jesus
Lead others to you, Jesus
You are King of Kings
You are Lord of Lords
Forever on the throne

Take my life and make me a vessel
Flow through me with your awesome love
Help me show all those who surround me
Glimpses of your amazing love

Give me words that reach to their hearts
Give them ears so they truly will hear
Guide my path every day to that person
Who needs your love to draw them near.

I will testify, Jesus
Of your sacrifice, Jesus
Your abiding love
Sent down from above
Reach the lost through me.

Here’s Jesus

If it’s kindness you seek, here’s Jesus
There’s no better friend than Him
He’ll hold your hand
And give you a plan
And He’ll take away your sin

If it’s joy that you need, here’s Jesus
His joy is abundant and free
He’ll lift you up
He’ll fill your cup
With blessings beyond all your dreams

If it’s peace that you lack, here’s Jesus
He’ll wipe out your doubts and fears
He’ll carry you through
The storms that may brew
And settle you heart through the years

Jesus is here
Right by your side
Walking with you every day
So be of good cheer
And in Him abide
His presence will show you the way

If it’s love you desire, here’s Jesus
His love is a treasure most pure
It dwells deep inside
And carries my life
Through anything I must endure

His mercy and grace are abundant
Amazing beyond all our dreams
I cannot repay
These gifts that He gave
When He sacrificed all on that tree

I owe Him my life and my purpose
The least I can do is give praise
For all that He’s done
My victory won
And now every day, here’s Jesus

Flow

His grace comes like a river
Flowing from His throne
It overwhelms my spirit
It shows me His great love

His mercy is a fountain
Forgiveness reigns supreme
I rest in the assurance
That He has set me free

The river flows
The fountain flows
The Spirit flows
From God to me
The river flows
The fountain flows
The spirit flows
And blesses me

His spirit is a wellspring
Bubbling up inside
It guides me through each day
And comforts me at night

Every day I feel the flow
Welling up inside
I need to let it flow through me
And reach the lost for Christ

The river flows
The fountain flows
The Spirit flows
From God to me
The river flows
The fountain flows
The spirit flows
And blesses me
I let it flow
For all to see
I let it flow
For all to see

Open Up Your Bible

I opened up my Bible
To see what I could find
It was then I realized
It’s a virtual gold mine

When I look into the scripture
And I take the time to read
I can find the answer
To all my earthly needs

If I need a touch from Him
And health is what I lack
His word says He has healed me
By the stripes upon His back

If I need some comfort
For the hurts that life can bring
His word says He will give me joy
So much that I will sing

If trouble does surround me
And I never feel at ease
He says He’ll come and walk with me
And leave me with His peace

No matter what the problem
That plagues me day to day
His word will have my answer
And guide me on my way

So, open up your Bible
Take time to fully see
His blessings are all written down
They’re yours if you believe


All Day

There's never a moment
Throughout the day
That I do not praise His name
For He is the one
Who gives me my breath
So He's worthy of all my praise

When I rise in the morning
I sing out a song
Of honor and glory to Him
For He kept me through
The dark of the night
And buried His peace deep within

When I'm ready to go
And I sit down to eat
The very first meal of the day
I thank Him for all
He provides for me
As He guides me along my way

Through the day as I work
I give highest praise
For I have been blessed with a task
As people come by me
I take time to pray
Is this one the one I should ask?

Maybe He needs a Savior today
Maybe She needs a friend
Maybe you've placed them in my path
So I'll be a witness to them
Speak to me Lord and give me the words
The words that only you know
That I might speak right unto their heart
And give them your love so it shows

My work day now over
I settle back home
And I praise Him for what He has done
If I said just one word
That brought comfort or peace
That person has already won

As I lay my head down
At the end of the day
I give praise that the Lord led me through
And I ask Him to give me
A good nights rest
So tomorrow will bring forth His fruit.

After The Blessing

After the blessing is over
After your song is gone
How do you act in the valley
When all is said and done?
When you are not on the mountain
But falling into the abyss
How do you lift yourself upward
And handle the times such as this?
There's no better time to praise Him
For the mercy He's shown to you
He never will leave you hopeless
He sees everything you do
He'll walk through that valley with you
And pull you up from the abyss
So don't be distraught or down hearted
He's there for a time such as this
Remember He died for your sins
And He rose to give eternal life
The stripes on His back bring you healing
And His peace will forever abide
He gives you the air that you breath
And He waters the earth with His rain
The sun light is there at His pleasure
And He brings them again and again
There is no lacking in His sweet mercy
Or the grace that He shows you each day
So forget what you think of as blessings
The lesser things here are His way
And please never cease to praise Him
Even when through the valley you go
For your praises will lift up your spirit
More than you'll ever know.



Day Of Wonder

I’ve been sitting here this morning
Wondering what to do
Searching for the words
To worship you
It’s another day of wonder
Another day of grace
And I desire to look
Upon your face
So I’ll sing Holy, Holy
Holy is your name
I sing Glory, Glory
Lift your name in praise
I’ll sing Worthy, Worthy
Worthy are you Lord
I’ll sing Jesus, Jesus
It’s you that I adore
For you bring love into my heart
Every day
You bring joy into my soul
All the way
You bring peace into my mind
As I pray
I love you Lord. I love you Lord
So I’ll sing Holy, Holy
Holy is your name
I sing Glory, Glory
Lift your name in praise
I’ll sing Worthy, Worthy
Worthy are you Lord
I’ll sing Jesus, Jesus
It’s you that I adore




The Flow

There is a fountain of life
That flows from Calvary’s tree
It comes from God above
And washes over me
But when it hits my heart
It’s not for me to hold
I have an obligation
That others must be told

There is a river of hope
That tells me heaven’s my home
There is no doubt of where
I’ll rest when life is o’er
This hope should flow through me
To others that I know
For I am just a vehicle
To bring friends into the fold

There is a stream of joy
That flows throughout my heart
It reminds me of the blessings¬¬¬
He does to me impart
These blessings are for everyone
Who call upon His name
So I must share this joy
By giving Him all praise

There is a flood of peace
That keeps me safe and warm
It flows from knowing God
Is always on the throne
My friends all need this peace
In this chaotic world
So I must let it flow through me
To touch and make them whole

And last there is His love
That flows eternally
It reaches out to everyone
No matter what they be
I must tell all I come to know
Of this great love divine
So the love, joy, peace, hope, life He brings
Will not just stay as mine

This Christmas Day

It’s Christmas Day
The night is done
The Sky is bright
The child has come

The angels sang
Their joyous song
The shepherds came
Here they belong

The kings have seen
The brightest star
And they have traveled
From afar

It’s your turn now
What will you do
This little child
Has come for you

He came to teach
You how to live
He came tow you
How to give

He came to bring
God down to man
He came to prove
God’s loving plan

He came to die
For all your sins
He came to rise
To Heaven again

Will you accept
His sacrifice
Will you receive
Eternal life

The Christmas Day
Receive this Child
The Son of God
Emmanuel
