With You, Lord

Leave a reply 
I want to be with you, Lord
To dance around your throne
To praise your name forever
To make heaven my home 

I want to be with you, Lord
To walk the streets of gold
To see those gone before me
To no more getting old

Yes, heaven will be wonderful
A lovely place to stay 
But I won't wait for heaven
To walk with you each day

Because you said you're with me
And will never leave my side
I choose to walk with you, Lord
While I on earth abide

I am always with you, Lord
To weather every storm
To see me through my trials 
To keep me from all harm

I am always with you, Lord
To guide me day by day 
To teach me by your Spirit
To walk in all your ways

Your promises are true Lord
And if I walk thus way
When I come to deaths door
I'll pass through heavens gates

So if you want a heav'nly home
Then make this your daily chore
Walk with Jesus here on earth
And heaven will be yours.


Mercy Covers All

Leave a reply 
When I call on you in my darkest day
You will hear the words that I say
And you'll answer me in your timely way
'Cause it's in your name that I pray

And when tears arise in the dead of night
And I cry to you out of fright
You will come to me with your peace so right
And you'll lead me to your light

What an awesome friend you are
Always there for me when I fall 
You show grace to me
Every time I need
And your mercy covers all

When my doubt is large, and my faith is small
I can always trust in your call
You will see my fear and you'll give your all
To revive me when I fall

What an awesome friend you are
Always there for me when I fall 
You show grace to me
Every time I need
And your mercy covers all

You hear my every prayer
Your answers always there
Though it may not be
What I want to see
I know you're always fair
You'll give to me
Just what I need
Every time I pray

What an awesome friend you are
Always there for me when I fall 
You show grace to me
Every time I need
And your mercy covers all

What Is This Life

2 Replies 
What is this life about?
Is it learning all that I can?
Is it making a lot of friends?
Or making my own special plans?

What is this life about?
Is it partying into the night?
Is it trying to always be right?
Or winning each quarrel or fight?

I think life is about much more than this
It is more than just playing a game 
This life is a journey, it's running a race 
That awaits us when we reach the end

You see life doesn't stop when we take our last breath
It has actually only begun
This life will determine where the next one starts out 
So you need to be choosing to win.

What exactly was Jesus life all about?
It was saving the lost gone astray
It brought healing to sick and sight to the blind
And it taught all of us the right way

What exactly was Jesus life all about?
It was laying His life down for us.
It was teaching us pride has no place in the wise
And showing us mercy and grace

His example is clear and His message us true
So shouldn't we follow His lead?
He showed us what this life should be all about
About filling our neighbors needs.

So put off your thoughts of me first and mine 
Let's do what He put us here for
Treating our neighbor as deserving of love
That is what this life is for.


Deep In Praise

1 Reply 
When all is said and done
And the daytime light is gone
I will lift to God my song
Of praise

And when the stars do shine
And nighttime moon aligns
I will know it is the time
To praise

For within each passing moment
There's a time to worship Him
With each breath I'm reminded of His love
So I'll lift my praise to Jesus
And I'll lift my hands to Him
He just showers down His blessings from above

Now when the morning light
Brings daytime from the night
I'll know it's only right
To praise

The birds all start to sing
And then they take to wing
The sun their following
To praise

If all creation knows
It's time to praise the Lord
Then why should I do anything that's less
I'll lift my voice up high
So all can hear me sing
Because I want to give my very best

And then the day has passed
I'll settle down at last
As I run out of gas
I'll praise

I'll settle down too sleep
My soul I know He'll keep
Because I lived so deep
In praise

All Of Creation Sings

Leave a reply 
The trees wave their arms,
The birds sing their songs,
The stars show their light for His glory
Each sunset displays
His wonderful ways,
And the heavens cry out with his story
All of creation sings praise to the King of Kings.
He gives us everything good in our lives

I will lift up my hands to the Lord,
All of creation adores Him
I will sing with the birds,
And wave with the trees,
And shine His light brightly each day
For He is Lord, For He is Lord, For He is Lord

The flowers bloom bright
In the glorious sunlight,
The rains bring them life for His glory
The thunder proclaims,
The lightning exclaims,
And the heavens cry out with his story
All of creation sings praise to the King of Kings. 
He gives us everything good in our lives

The sun and the moon and the stars up above
Bring order to man just to show us His love
The earth is renewed by the heavens each day
As he shows us His marvelous ways

I will lift up my hands to the Lord,
All of creation adores Him
I will sing with the birds,
And wave with the trees,
And shine His light brightly each day
For He is Lord, For He is Lord, For He is Lord

Every Time

Leave a reply 
I will call upon the Lord
And He will hear my cry
And answer me
Every time

I will wait upon the Lord 
And He will renew my strength
So I will not faint 
Every time

He is faithful as He promised
He will never let me down
I can trust every word He has said 
So whenever I'm discouraged
And I feel like I could drown
I can hold onto His precious hand

I will trust in the Lord
And He will always be right there 
To hear my prayer 
Every time 

I will hope in the Lord
And He will reveal His plans
To prosper me 
Every Time

He has given His own blood
As He died in my place
His mercy was extended to my soul 
So whenever I'm discouraged 
I can trust in His grace
To come into my life and make me whole

Every time I call
Every time I wait 
Every time I trust
Every time I hope
Every time He answers
Every time He strengthens 
Evert time He's faithful
Every time He prospers 
Every time, every time.


One Day

Leave a reply 
One day this old world will be left far behind 
My troubles will all disappear 
Since I have accepted my sweet Saviors love
I look for that day He appears 

My eyes will look upward to clouds overhead
And suddenly He will arrive
And all who have made Him their Savior and Lord
Will rise up to meet in the skies

On that day we'll be dancing to heavenly choirs
On that day we will pass pearly gates
On that day we will have no more pain, no more tears 
On that day we will see Jesus face

Singing power and glory and honor and praise
To the Lamb seated high on the throne
Seeing cherubim dancing a heavenly dance
To the King who has called us His own 

That day will come soon so don't wait any more
To tell all your friends it is near
Let your loved ones all hear the great power of His love
And pray that they'll open their ears

And when Jesus arrives they will rise up with Him
And will be carried into His arms
Then they'll rejoice with us as we enter those gates
Where will spend all eternity time

On that day we'll be dancing to heavenly choirs
On that day we will pass pearly gates
On that day we will have no more pain, no more tears 
On that day we will see Jesus face

Singing power and glory and honor and praise
To the Lamb seated high on the throne
Seeing cherubim dancing a heavenly dance
To the King who has called us His own

Come And Let Us Sing

I cry holy
Holy is our Lord most high 
I cry holy
Holy us the Lamb. Crucified.
I cry holy
Holy is His name, Glorified
I cry holy
Holy is our God

I cry worthy
Worthy to receive my praise
I cry worthy
Worthy is His mighty name
I cry worthy
Worthy in this holy place
Worthy is our God

I lift my voice 
Highest praises to the King
I lift my hands
All my life surrendering
I lift my heart
He is why I shout and sing
Jesus Christ my Lord

Come and let us sing 
Sing around the throne of God
Bring an offering
Praises to our Lord above

Jesus, born to die
Jesus, crucified
Jesus, rose to life
Jesus, lifted high 

Holy is His name
Worthy is His name
I exalt the name
Of Jesus.

Do You Know Jesus?

Leave a reply 
Do you know Jesus the sweet Manger babe?
Born in a stable and slept on the hay?
Do you know Jesus cousin of John?
Baptized in Jordan wilderness bound?

Do you know Jesus teacher so wise? 
Preached to the crowds transformed their lives?
Do you know Jesus calmed the wind and rain?
Walked across the waves, turned water to wine?

Many know Jesus from Sunday School
He taught the golden rule, He spoke in parables 
Many know Jesus from the scores of books 
Or picture how He looks, or pray to Him for goods
But Jesus said you must be born again from above
You must from sin abstain, you must cry out His name
Do you know Jesus as the only way?
To Get through heavens gates? If not please come and pray.

Do you know Jesus deliverer is He?
Made whole the leper and demons did flee?
Do you know Jesus physician is He?
Took stripes on His back to heal you and me?

Do you know Jesus redeemer of mine?
Took all of my sin made me pure for all time.
Do you know Jesus rose from the grave?
Soon will return to take me away?

Many call Him friend, yet they hardly know His way
The way that says to give Him everything
Many call Him Lord, but do not do His will
They refuse to make Him as their Lord and King
So I ask you today to settle in and pray
Decide if you have really given all
And if the answer comes that you really kept your life
I’ll ask do you know Jesus at all?




Smile

Leave a reply 
I smile when I think of Jesus
And how He loves me so
The love I feel deep down inside
Just grows and grows and grows
I know that He is King of Kings
And Lord of time and space
But when I think how He loves me
A smile comes on my face

There is no time for sadness
When He speaks in my ear
His words of love are always true
If only I will hear
He'll tell me how He loves me
And show me by His grace
So when I see the love He has
A smile comes on my face

I don't have to be perfect
For Him to love me so
I only have to trust Him
And watch His deep love grow
He'll come and guide me daily 
With His spirit from above
If I will only take the time
To believe in His great love

So day by day I watch for Him
To light the morning sky
I watch as birds sing praises
While they gracefully pass by
I watch the rain bring bounty
When the earth becomes too dry
For all this shows He loves me
Until the day I die

If you are a Christian
Or even if you're not
This little tale will tell you
That you are loved by God
And all of His creation
Is given just for you
To bring a smile from heaven
Because my God loves you
