Higher Ground

Leave a reply 
When I’m in the midst of the storm
When waves are gathering round
When the wind is howling and my fear is strong
God sets my feet on higher ground

When I walk through the valley, oh so low
When it seems the mountains abound
When I’ve lost all hope in a soon escape
God sets my feet on higher ground

When the enemy is by my side
When he says ‘m going down
When he torments me with the sins in my past
God sets my feet on higher ground

When sickness comes into my life
When it seems I‘m getting worse
When I don’t know when the healing will come
God sets my feet on higher ground

He never leaves me hopeless
Never leaves my side
He always overwhelms me with his love
And when I finally say goodbye
To this old earthly life
He’ll take me to my mansion above

For when I walk with Jesus
When He guides my every step
I rest assured I’ll always be on higher ground.

He’s My Shephard

Leave a reply 
Sometimes in the night He calls to me
Reminding me that He will meet my needs
Whispering He's come to give me peace
If I'll only walk each day with Him

Sometimes in the day He calls my name
Reminding me that I am not the same
Whispering he took my guilt and shame
If I'll only make Him Lord of my life

He leads me by the waters sweet
He restores my longing soul
He walks with me in paths of righteousness
He's my Shepherd and my Lord
And even when I walk through valleys dark
His rod and staff are by my side
He'll anoint my head with Holy Spirt oil
And In His house I will abide

Sometimes in the quiet He speaks to me
Reminding me that he's right there withe
Whispering He'll be with me eternally
If I'll only make Him Lord of my Life

So I will sing His praise forevermore
Loud Hosanna sung forevermore
Worship His sweet name forevermore
Jesus is the Lord of my life

My Prayer

Leave a reply 
I bowed my head and heard His voice
“My son, it’s time to make your choice.
Will you follow this world and it’s ways
Or follow me all of your days?”

I said “Dear Lord, I follow you
In everything I say and do.
I want your love to flow through me
For this entire world to see”

He then spoke in his loving way
“My Son, your life is now in sway
The world still has it’s hold on you
It’s time you showed your love is true”

I said “Dear Lord, what must I do
To prove that I would follow you”
He came real close to me and said
“My child, your self needs to be dead.

No more can sin be part of you
No more will lies and cheating do
No more can pride lift up your head
No more can selfish ways be bred
No more can words be harsh and cruel
No more can anger be the rule
No more can sin be part of you
If to me you’ll dare be true”

I bowed my head and closed my eyes
And said a prayer that reached the skies
I asked him to forgive my ways
Vowed that I would change this day

I’ll put aside those things I did
That aren’t spawned from your love within
And men will see the light shine through
In everything I say and do.

I felt His loving hands touch mine
And felt His holy love divine
He said “My child, that’s all I ask
I knew that you could do the task”

So from now on, please let me know
If you His love I do not show
Let mercy reign and grace abound
To everyone who comes around

For my desire is plain to see
That my Lord is pleased with me
For that is what my life is for
To bring much pleasure to my Lord

Lift Your Praises High

Leave a reply 
Lift your praises high to Him, our soon and coming King
Give your worship every day to God for everything
Sing loud, rejoicing in the fact that this day you can bring
An offering of praise and thanks to Jesus Christ our King

Lord, I pray that you'll go with me through this day to come
I pray my eyes will take in all the wonders you have done
From the darkness of the night that becomes a brilliant dawn
Through a day that's filled with miracles when evening's sun is gone

First the stars are sparkling in the darkness of the night
Until the clouds are sprinkled with the first hint of sunlight
Slowly come the golden borders of the clouds in sight
Until it overwhelms my eyes with beautiful delight

Birds start chirping, sending songs throughout the morning sky
As spring time dew starts falling on the ground that's oh so dry
The flowers start to open as they greet the morning light
And I wake up to song and light from a long and restful night

Now breath does fill my lungs with air, a gift from God most high
My eyes are opened up to see, the miracle of sight
I hear the birds sing sweetly at the beautiful sunlight
And I marvel at the song they sing in praise to God most high

I could go on and on with all the miracles He gives
And fill a thousand pages with my praise at all He did
On this one day in a million that He's given me to live
But I'll stop right here and simply say I'll give my praise to Him

For every breath, and every sight, and every sense or sound
Is another gift from God most high, His precious gifts abound
From lighting up the sky to all the wonders on the ground
He never will forsake me, He'll always be around

So lift your praises high to Him, our soon and coming King
Give your worship every day to God for everything
Sing loud, rejoicing in the fact that this day you can bring
An offering of praise and thanks to Jesus Christ our King


Alive, Alive

Leave a reply 
Alive, alive
Alive for all to see
He has risen from the dead
New life to bring to me

Alive, alive
Alive for all to hear
Of the wondrous love of Jesus
I must preach to every ear

Hear the blessed news today
Jesus Christ is Lord
For you He died and rose again
So you can trust His word
He did not have to give His life
But out of His great love
He paid the price for all your sin
So you could live above

Call on Him from deep within
Confess that He is Lord
Ask Him to forgive your sin
Ask for His reward
When you do these things in truth
And turn your heart to Him
New life will rise within your heart
And you'll be born again

Alive, alive
He lives within my heart
Won't you give your life to Him
And have a brand new start
Alive, alive 
New life He gives to you
Receive the love of Jesus Christ
Accept His gift to you.

All Creation

Leave a reply 
Sitting by an apple tree                 
Listening to the birds and bees
Realizing all creation sings His praise

Wind blows through the willow tree
Praises from the rustling leaves 
Creation calling out His mighty name

Jesus, Holy Jesus
Full of love and grace 
All creation lifts their voice
To sing His praise

Flowers blooming near to me
Sunrise shows His artistry
All creation testifies that He is Lord

Mountains loom in majesty
Clouds roll on a gentle breeze
Every but of nature lifts His word

Jesus,  Holy Jesus    
Full of peace and joy
All creation shows His beauty
In our eyes restored

Lift your voice oh people
Lift your voice and sing
Sing of joyous wonder
To creation ' s King

Lift Your Voices

Leave a reply

Lift your voices, shout your praise
It is Jesus name we raise
Blessed Hosannas, hail the King
As we lift our praise to Him

Enter in, please enter in
To the presence of the King
Worship Him, oh worship Him
Loud hosannas shout and sing

Worthy, worthy is His name
Blessed Jesus, humble Lamb
Sent to save the world from sin
Won’t you let Him enter in?

Lift your praise or rocks will sing
Loud hosannas to the King
Shout out loud with joyous dance
He is stretching out His hands

Lift your voices, shout your praise
It is Jesus name we raise
Blessed Hosannas, hail the King
As we lift our praise to Him

Christ Returns

Jesus, King of Kings

Leave a reply 
Jesus, King of Kings. Jesus, Lord of Lords
It is you that we adore. 
Jesus Lamb of God sent to save the world
Guide us daily by your word

Left your throne in heaven to be born in a manger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid amid the hay 
Shepherd's came to worship, wise men bearing gifts
All because a star showed them the way

You grew up as a carpenter like any other boy
Knowing that your destiny would lead you to a cross
Filled with grown up wisdom even as a boy of twelve
Your parents only guessed at what your life would cost

Baptized in the Jordan, doves descend from heaven
Landing on you, standing there as meek as a lamb
Others hear a voice saying this is my son
Having no idea you are the great I AM.

You walked throughout the land healing as you went
Every man and child you touched was changed
Raising up the dead, feeding many thousands
Sending devils running as they called your name

But leaders didn't know you had come to save the world
Your power and authority they could not understand
So they conspired against you and turned the crowds away
After trials you heard "crucify him" all across the land

Whipped and beaten, crown of thorns laid upon your head
Through the streets you had to carry your own cross
Nails thru feet and hands, they hung you between two thieves
They hung you there to die, oh what a loss

You laid in the tomb as disciples wept on sorrow
Women came with spices to anoint the dead
But you arose in splendor, majesty and power
And gave us all the hope of a future in heaven

Jesus, King of Kings. Jesus, Lord of Lords
It is you that we adore. 
Jesus Lamb of God sent to save the world
Guide us daily by your word

Live By Faith

Leave a reply


How else can I live, Lord, but by faith in you and your never failing love for me?  
How else can I overcome the calamities that befall me because of my own sinfulness and lack of wisdom?
How else can I walk through each day without fear the enemy will utterly consume me?How else can I know there’s truly hope for tomorrow, and my life is not doomed to end in destruction?
How else can I know my breath will still be with me in the morning, and my sight in the evening?


It is faith that upholds me.
It is faith that enables me to stand in the midst of the darkness of this world.
It is faith that helps me understand that this life is not fair, but you are always just.
It is faith that shows me the trials in my life are only present to perfect me in your ways.
It is faith that keeps me walking toward the prize of the high calling of God, not knowing the path I will have to tread.
It is faith that heals me, faith that delivers me, faith that upholds me, and faith that encourages me.

This faith does not come from the world around me that is so untrustworthy.
This faith does not come from the famous, or the wealthy, or the powerful.
This faith is not placed on the things or people of this world.
This faith is not a condition of my works, or of my words.
This faith is not placed in the stars above, or the moon, or the natural things of this world.

My faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ, His Father in Heaven, and His Spirit who dwells within.
My faith is in the creator of all things, and the upholder of the earth and all the heavens My faith is in the one who calls the stars by name, and numbers the hair on my head. My faith is in the one who makes nations rise and kings fall.
My faith is in God.

He will sustain me.
He will uphold me.
He will encourage me.
He will heal me.
He will deliver me.
He will direct my steps.
He will never leave or forsake me.
He will keep me from harm.
He will make all things work for my good
That is why I can live by faith, walk by faith, talk in faith, and trust in God.
