Lord Of My Heart

Leave a reply 
Wonderful Jesus
Lord of my heart 
You rescued me
When I was so lost

You gave your life 
So that I could be free
When you died sinless 
On Calvary's tree 

Bought my salvation 
A debt that I owed
Your love has paid
So I could have hope

Rose from the grave 
Unto heavens grand door
Where I will dwell
Forever more

Wonderful Jesus
Lord of my heart
I know that you
Will never depart

You promised me
You'd stay by my side
From this very day
'Til the day that I die

Then when I rise 
To my heavenly home 
I'll spend eternity
Never alone

Wonderful Jesus 
Lord of my Heart 
I'll worship you
Until I depart

Who I Am Now

Leave a reply 
I once was a sinner 
Deep in shame
I did not even
Like my name
I wandered aimlessly 
Through my life 
Not caring if
I lived or died
Faith was not known 
Hope was a dream
Love was so shallow
My heart just screamed
But then some words
A friend spoke to me
Led me to Jesus 
And He saved me
Now I'm a sinner
Saved by grace
Hope is alive 
I will see His face
Faith in my Savior
Accepts His love
Mercy from heaven
Grace from above
Who I am Now
Is saved by His grace
Washed in His blood 
Awed by His face
Filled with His Spirit
Calmed by His peace
Thrilled by His joy
Faith is released
Who I am now
Is healed by His stripes
Delivered from death
Filled with new life
Bathed in His promise
Eternally His
Headed to heaven
Forever with Him
I will forever
At His feet bow
For He is the Lord 
Of who I am now

The Present

Leave a reply 
Today is the day
Not tomorrow 
Not yesterday 
Today is the day
To praise the Lord 

Today is the day
Not next week
Not last week
Today is the day 
To worship Him

He is the one
Who gives us the present
He is the one
Who gives breath every day 
He is the one
Who gives rythm to heart beats 
Only my God 
Can show me the way 

Today is a present 
All wrapped up in hope
His peace calms my spirit
His joy overflows

This wonderful present
Is mine for the asking 
It comes every moment
From Jesus my King

He is the one
That showers with mercy
He is the one
Whose love reigns divine
He is the one
Who gives grace amazing
Only my God 
Will always be mine

Today is the day 
Today is the present 
Today is my gift
From Jesus my Lord
Today I will praise Him
Today I will worship 
Today is my chance
To give thanks to my Lord.

Near To You

Leave a reply 
I want to walk with you
For miles and miles
Everyday, Lord 
To be in your presence 
And feel your sweet touch 
I want to stay with you
Step by step
Never leave your side
Constantly abide
In your love
Everyday 

I want to talk with you 
For hours and hours
Everyday, Lord
To soak in your wisdom
And learn how to love
I want to hear your voice
Word by word
Never close my ears
Listen all the years
To your love 
Everyday

Being with you
And hearing your voice
Is my hearts desire
My only choice
Every minute 
I spend with you
Just draws me closer  
To your side

Near to you
Near to you
Knowing your touch 
Hearing your voice 
Near to you
By your side
That's where I'll abide.



Thank You

Leave a reply 
How can I thank you?
What can I say?
For all that you've done
For me this day? 

What words can offer 
How I love you?
For all the things
You say and do?

You rise up the sun
To brighten the day
You give me my breath 
And show me thy way

You carry me through
The storms in my life
You hold me closely 
In my hardest times

You give me joy
To cast fear aside
Your peace is a comfort 
When trials arise.

There's so many ways
You make this life grand 
I just want to stay 
In your loving plan

Now I say thank you
Thank you so much 
I cannot thank you enough
Thank you my Savior
Thank you my Lord
Thank you for all of your love.


Amazed By His Love

Leave a reply 
I find myself amazed at His presence
And that He wants to spend His time with me
I can't imagine why He'd take a minute
To listen when I humbly make my plea

I cannot fathom why He really loves me
I don't deserve His mercy or His grace
But every time I stop and think about Him
An overwhelming smile comes on my face

He's the King of Kings, and He loves me
He showers me with blessing from above
He's the Lord of Lords
Redeemer of my soul
I am amazed by His love

His peace is more than I can find in this world
His joy takes all my fear and doubt away
The hope He gives is more than just a vision 
It gets me through the dark and lonely days

Because of His great love I will serve Him
I'll worship Him and lift His holy name
Jesus is the one for me forever
And I will lift my voice in praise

He's the King of Kings, and He loves me
He showers me with blessing from above
He's the Lord of Lords
Redeemer of my soul
I am amazed by His love




In My Savior’s Arms

Leave a reply 
All the way my Savior leads me
All the way, He walks beside
I can trust His tender mercy
In His love, I will abide

When my trials overtake me
He will come and be my guide
For I knew He’s always with me
In His bosom I survive

Safe in His peace from above
Warmed by the light of His love
Comfort He gives
As long as I live
Here in my Saviors arms

All the way, He is my Shepheard
Daily taking care of me
I don’t have to fret or worry
When I‘m resting at His feet

I can know His joy through struggles
I can have His lasting peace
All I need is to stay near Him
He will always comfort me.

Long may He reign in my heart
He is my strength, my all
Comfort He gives
As long as I live
Here in my Saviors arms

All the way, He leads me gently
Let me give myself away
And I’ll know His lasting presence
As He draws me close each day

I don’t need another anchor
He is all my hope and stay
For I know He will protect me
He is my resting place 

Safe in His peace from above
Warmed by the light of His love
Comfort He gives
As long as I live
Here in my Saviors arms

My Father

Leave a reply 
I have a Father	
Who loves me so much
He blesses me all of my days
Daily He listens
To hear every prayer
And leads me in all if His ways 

When I am weary
I ask Him for strength
And He sends the spirit of life
When I am sick
I pray He will heal
And He gives me patience to fight


Oh, what a wonderful Father
Mercy and Grace are His ways 
I know He will love me forever
So I'll worship Him all of my dayslov

When I have trouble
I ask Him for help
And He sends me peace in the storm
When I am lonely
I call out His name
And He holds me safe in His arms

Oh, what a wonderful Father
Mercy and Grace are His ways 
I know He will love me forever
So I'll worship Him all of my days

He gave His own Son
To die on a cross 
So eternal life would be mine
My sin is erased 
My shame is all gone 
I'll now be with Him for all time

Oh, what a wonderful Father
Mercy and Grace are His ways 
I know He will love me forever
So I'll worship Him all of my day

Prayer Time

Leave a reply 
I cried out to Jesus this morning
Lord please hear my humble prayer
I come to you seeking your mercy
For so many friends out there

One of my friends needs your guidance
About things going on in his life
I ask you to give this friend wisdom
To deal with this mountain of strife

Two friends need help with a new job
That came as an answer to prayers
These next few weeks they’ll be learning
Help them listen and learn as they train

I know that you hear my prayer
And I know that an answer will come
I trust in your perfect timing
I will pray they’ll have strength all along

Still others need your touch to heal them
From cancer, or aches, or disease
I ask that your mercy surround them
As I pray to you down on my knees

There’s a friend who has asked me to pray
For protection in foreign lands
I make my request to you Lord
To keep them all safe in your hands

I close out my prayer time this morning
By lifting my voice in praise
My spirit is lost in your worship
I lift up your holy name

I thank you for listening to me
And the prayers that I send your way
Take care of my friends this morning
And give them your mercy today.

Mercy Is All

Leave a reply 
There are so many times 
I know in my heart
His mercy is all that I need
From the most desperate days
To the oft sleepless nights
He mercy will cover me

When I'm sick in my bed
And a daze fills my head 
His mercy is all that I need
Because no matter how long
It takes healing to come
His mercy will cover me

Oh mercy of God
So large and so free
There is none that can compare
To the marvelous trust
I can have in your love 
Because your mercy is always there.

When I feel down and out
And I just want to shout
His mercy is all that I need
Because I know that He 
Is right there with me
His mercy will cover me

When the enemies strong
And I don't have a song 
His mercy is all that I need
He'll raise up His hand
And help me to stand
His mercy will cover me

I'll trust in the Lord
With all my heart
And I won't trust in those things I know
I'll acknowledge Him 
In all my ways 
And He will make my paths known

Oh mercy of God
So large and so free
There is none that can compare
To the marvelous trust
I can have in your love 
Because your mercy is always there.
