As I Wait

Leave a reply 
I cried out to God
In the midst of my need
And I prayed He would give me relief 
I asked Him for mercy 
And told Him my plea 
And then I began to believe

One day, then two days 
A week then passed by 
And I had not received a reply 
I went back to God 
And I asked Him what's up
And He then spoke and told me why

It's time to be still
And know I am God 
Your prayer will be answered on time
Until then you wait
And trust in my love 
The best timing is always mine.

I knew He was right 
As He always is 
So I summoned the patience He gives 
And my spirit raised up 
And praise filled my heart
So I lifted my worship to Him

Praise the Lord for His mercy 
Praise the Lord for His grace
Praise His mighty name with every breath 
All glory to Jesus 
My Savior divine 
Praise the Lord for His loving embrace

So now when a trial 
Comes into my life 
I lift up my voice in praise
For He is worthy
Every day
As I wait I will lift up His name

All glory to Jesus
My fortress and rock 
He'll keep me safe in the storm 
And I’ll cling to Him
As I wait for His time
Safe and secure in His arms

What Can I Dio But Pray?

Leave a reply 
When a distant friend is down with pain
And his family doesn’t care, again
There is no one close
Who can lend a hand
What can I do but pray?

When I hear of someone who’s been hurt bad
From an accident that they’ve just had
There too far away
For me to be there
What can I do but pray?

When a trial or test is taking its toll
And there’s no one else that they have told
It is mine to bear
For the burden’s large
What can I do but pray?

I can send a card with a message bright
I can give an encouraging word each day
I can keep upbeat when we talk at night
That’s what I can do while I pray

When a friend is in the hospital room
And I just can’t get there to see them soon
They won’t be there long
They’ll be out of touch
What can I do but pray?

When a death has come to a family
And I know that they’re not real close to me
The funeral is soon
But I’m out of town
What can I do but pray?

I can bring some food to their house for them
I can offer to clean or to lend a hand
I can give them rides or run errands
That’s what I can do while I pray

It’s the Golden rule that we must obey
Do unto others is the good Lord’s way
That when I want to do more than pray
I can think about what I would need
And then when the time has come for aid
I can give of my time and give of my day
And then when I have done all I can
I can rest peacefully and pray.
Christ Returns

The King Eternal

Leave a reply 
He started in a manger filled with hay 
At death borrowed tomb is where He lay
He never owned a home
In ministry He roamed
Teaching of the truth, the life, the way.

He was the King who came to die
A minister of light and life
The masses followed Him
He eased their suffering
And told them words that opened up their eyes

He is the King eternal
The everlasting God
The mighty creator
The one who reigns above
His victory is forever
He shed his precious blood
He died for you and me
So we could know His love

The leaders of the day were mad
The words He shared they thought were bad
They sought to take His life
Against Him the conspired
They turned the crowd against Him and were glad

This King was beaten mercilessly
He carried His cross to Calvary
His feet and hands were nailed
The soldiers had prevailed
They crucified Him there upon that tree

The borrowed tomb became His grave
The guards had sealed the tomb and stayed
But death could not hold Him
Over the grave, He wins
Now eternal life is mine always

He is the King eternal
The everlasting God
The mighty creator
The one who reigns above
His victory is forever
He shed his precious blood
He died for you and me
So we could know His love

Let’s Worship

Leave a reply 
I’ll clap my hands
I’ll lift my voice
I’ll shout His praise
And I’ll rejoice
The King of Kings
Salvation brings
Let’s worship Him today

He bore the price
For all my sin
So I would have
A way to win
His grace did reign
That fateful day
As on the cross
My debt He paid

He did not balk
He did not fail
He took the whip
He took the nails
He walked the road
He bore His cross
He gave His all
At such a cost

The buried Him
In borrowed tomb
They sealed it tight
A darkened room
The stone rolled back
The soldiers slept
He rose again
His promise kept

And now He stands
By Father God
He prays for me
He watches out
His love for all
Reached out to me
Now heaven’s home
Eternally

I’ll clap my hands
I’ll lift my voice
I’ll shout His praise
And I’ll rejoice
The King of Kings
Salvation brings
Let’s worship Him today

Amazing Love

Leave a reply 
I came running to my Lord today
I had Jesus on my mind
He wrapped His arms around me
And He said “My son, your mine”
A calming reassurance
Flooded through me from above
As He held me close beside Him
I could feel His awesome love

Love that overlooks my faults
Love that conquers all
Love that washes sin away
Love that hears my call
His love is amazing
It is with me everyday
I’m not sure what I would do
Without His love today

I found that I was lost again
And couldn’t find my way
Somehow, I’d walked away from Him
So I knelt down to pray
I asked Him to draw close to me
And soon I felt Him near
His tenderness surrounded me
And wiped out all my fear

Love that wipes away my fears
Love that calms my heart
Love that tells me I’m okay
Love that never parts
His love is amazing 
It’s always there for me
Even when I’ve lost my way
He fills my deepest need

This time I stayed real close to Him
I did not want to leave
He told me that He loved me
And He’d always be with me
Now I must go tell others
About His wondrous love
So they can know the Savior too
And be blessed by God above

Love that took Him to the cross
Love that gave His life
Love that washed away my sin
Love that came to die
His love is amazing
He gave His life for me
And rose again so I could be
With Him eternally

I’ll shout about this wondrous love
As long as I have breath
For He has given everything
From birth until His death
I will sing His praises
Everywhere I go
For He is Lord of all the earth
And everyone should know

His love is amazing
His love conquers sin
His love is for everyone
His love always wins
His love gives and gives some more
Until the day is done
No one can out give His love
No, not anyone






Chasing The Blues

Leave a reply 
Sometimes I just don’t feel like
Lifting up my voice in praise
My mood is down and dreary
And My hands don’t want to raise
There is no joy in my heart
My peace has been disturbed
I just want to jump back into bed
Where my moans will not be heard

But something deep within me
Starts to stir my spirit ‘round
And from somewhere in my being
A song begins to sound
It’s not a song of mourning
Or of grief or deep despair
But it’s a song of praise
That struggles to find air

Hallelujah, He is Lord
He rules the heaven and earth
Hallelujah, He is Lord
I’ll praise His matchless worth
I’ll sing a song of worship
As I lift my voice to Him
Hallelujah, He is Lord
To Him my praise I bring

Now I feel much better
My mood has turned around
I feel the peace of God
Praise fills my heart with sound
It’s the sound of heaven’s angels
As they praise the Lord with me
I’m no longer down and dreary
My spirit’s been set free

The lesson here today 
Is that moods can be erased
Just open up and praise Him
And your blues will leave when chased
Your heart is ready always
To lift His holy name
So, prepare yourself for worship
Let’s lift up Jesus Name!

Hallelujah, He is Lord
He rules the heaven and earth
Hallelujah, He is Lord
I’ll praise His matchless worth
I’ll sing a song of worship
As I lift my voice to Him
Hallelujah, He is Lord
To Him my praise I bring

He Is Your Sacrifice

Leave a reply 
I can’t imagine heaven
Beyond what I can read
A paradise unlike
Any that I’ve ever seen
Prepared from the beginning
For those who find the way
And no one knows when Jesus
Will declare “This is the Day”

Way back in the beginning
The Father had a plan
He created all this earth
And then He made a man
But man’s seed became sinful
When he chose to disobey
And God chose Cherubim
To block our access to the way

Many centuries went by
Before a virgin heard the call
The Holy Ghost descended
And His seed produced a child
They named the child Jesus
He was born to save the world
He taught men of the Father
And healed them with His words

He was hated by the leaders
For the people all loved Him
So, the leaders of the day
Decided He they should condemn
They beat and crucified Him
As He hung His blood dripped down
Then He died before they killed Him
And they buried Him in the ground

Before He went He told us
That He was the Way
And that no one came to God
Unless they came through Him by prayer
His blood would cleanse their sins
And bring healing for disease
And because He rose again
He gave us life eternally
 
Those who have accepted Him
Will make heaven their home
We’ll dance upon the streets of gold
Never more to roam
If you have not accepted Him
And His wondrous gift of life
Any not ask Him in today
He is your sacrifice.

When Tomorrow Comes

Leave a reply 
Tomorrow is a day. 
We stop to give our thanks
For all the things that bless our earthly lives
We gather with our loved ones
And eat a worthy feast
Remembering all the wonderfully good times

When we give our thanks for family
And those who eat with us
Will we also pray for those we know
Who a close one they have lost?

When we thank God for the meal we eat
So abundant and so good
Will we pray for those who have much less
And perhaps take them some food?

When we give thanks for all the things
That we have been blessed by
Will we pray for those in poverty
That a blessing they will find

When we give thanks to God above
For His salvation plan
Will we pray for those who don’t know Him
And give to them His plan?

When tomorrow comes it’s easy
To give our thanks to God
But this year let’s remember
That’s really not enough

Let’s lift our prayers for others
Who suffer through this day
Let’s lift our hands to help them
With aid along the way

Our blessings weren’t for us to hoard
And save up for some day
They were given so we can give
So let us find a way.

Yes, when tomorrow comes
Let’s break out the Golden Rule
We can change the world this way
By simple acts of love


Praising Through The Pain

Leave a reply 
Is anyone awake out there?
Can anybody hear?
I sure could use a friend right now
To talk to through my tears.

My back is aching once again
I cannot sleep at all
I took a pain pill hour ago
And I’m afraid I’ll fall

Oh, my God, where are you?
Can you hear my cry?
Why won’t you deliver me?
Why won’t pain subside?

My feet are aching also
It hurts me just to stand
And when I try to walk somewhere
The drop foot seems to land.

The walker helps to get up
And get into my chair
And that is where I sit right now
Not going anywhere

Oh, God, I’m crying out to you
Please heal these pains of mine
I need to know you hear me now
I need you at this time

I will lift my voice in praise
To you, my precious Lord
For you have done so much for me
A fact I can’t ignore

I thank you for your mercy
And I ask you now for more
But even if you leave me here
I’ll worship you, my Lord

I lift your name up high right now
Your glory I proclaim
Your worthy of my worship Lord
Even if my pain remains.

I Just Want To Thank You

Leave a reply 
I just want to thank you
For all you’ve done for me
I wouldn’t be alive without you
I just want to thank you
For your great love for me
You loved me before I knew you

You give me air to breath
And light so I can see
You keep me on the ground with gravity
You keep my heart beating
You keep my lungs breathing
You keep my body functioning

You place beauty everywhere
Like birds up in the air
They fly majestically everywhere
The trees are beautiful
The sky with clouds are full
The sun comes up and sets as usual

I just want to thank you
For all you’ve done for me
I wouldn’t be alive without you
I just want to thank you
For your great love for me
You loved me before I knew you

And then you sent your Son
Your one and only Son
To come and share your love for me
He taught the masses truth
From elderly to youth
He taught us how think and how to be

And then He gave His life
Became my sacrifice
And from my sin I was set free
He died to conquer sin
And He rose from death again
To give me life eternally

I just want to thank you
For all you’ve done for me
I wouldn’t be alive without you
I just want to thank you
For your great love for me
You loved me before I knew you
