The Vine

Leave a reply 
Lord feed me wisdom 
That I might see
All the injustice 
That's all around me
All of the heartache 
All of the pain
All of the suffering 
All the disdain 
Feed me a heart
That will reach out in love 
And touch all the broken
So they'll know your love

Lord feed me courage 
That I might know 
How to change doubt
Into faith that shows
All of the fear
All of the worry
All of the sorrow 
All of the hurry
Feed me the strength 
To open their eyes
And lead them to you, Lord
So faith will arise

You are the vine 
I am the branch 
Fill me with love
Give me a chance 
To bear you much fruit 
As I follow your plan
Tend to my life
With your loving hand

Feed me compassion 
So others  may see
Your love for them, Lord
Through the life that I lead 
All of the joy
All of the peace 
All of the grace 
All the mercy 
Feed me with life
In all that I do
So I can successfully 
Lead them to you

And all of the fruit I bear dear Lord
I owe it all to you
It is your loving hand that prunes the branch
To make it bear more fruit
So do with me what you will, dear Lord
To shape and mold this branch
No matter the trial or test that comes
My life it will enhance

You are the vine
I am the branch 
Fill me with love
Give me a chance 
To bear you much fruit 
As I follow your plan
Tend to my life
With your loving hand

It’s Not Up To Me

Leave a reply 
It’s not up to me
To save a soul
To take their sins
And make them whole
But it is up to me
To tell them of Christ
So that they can accept Him
And change their lives

It’s not up to me
To heal the sick
To take their pain
And help them live
But it is up to me
To help them see
The one who heals
And dries their tears

My task is to tell them of Jesus
And the wonders He’s done for me
To open their eyes to the light of His love
So that they will truly believe

It’s not up to me
To convict of sin
To judge the lost
And purify them
But it is up to me
To witness each day
Of the love of Christ
And to pray and pray

It’s not up to me
To look down on them
Or to think I’m better
Because I have Him
But it is up to me
To love them with all
My heart must go out
To both big and small

My task is to tell them of Jesus
And the wonders He’s done for me
To open their eyes to the light of His love
So that they will truly believe
 
For I do not know what tomorrow brings
It just might be their last day
I need to tell them of Jesus
And pray, and pray, and pray

I Hear His Name

Leave a reply 
I hear His name
His Mighty name
It thunders through the sky
The angel chorus
Sings His praise
Hosanna from on high

His name is Healer
With His power
He can heal all pains
Broken hearts 
And wounded souls
Arise to live again

His name is Savior
From sins dead grasp
He brings us out of chains
Our sin is washed
As white as snow
He frees us from our shame

His name is Counselor
His word is truth
He guides me every day
His Holy Spirit
Teaches me
To follow in His ways 

I hear His name
His Glorious name
His praise flows from my lips
I can’t contain
His mighty name
I long wo worship Him

His name is Jesus
Lord of Lords
And King of Kings is He
His mercy reaches
Down from heaven
And touches even me

His name is Jesus
Friend of mine
He’s always there for me
He lives within me
Every day
He gives me joy and peace
I sing His praise
I sing His name
I love to worship Him
I lift my voice
And lift my hands
With my praise offering

Worthy, worthy 
Is the Lamb
Worthy of my praise
I will lift Him
Up today
And praise His mighty name
Grace & Mercy

Merciful Savior

Leave a reply 
When I begin to think about
What Jesus did for me
I always must remember
The day He set me free 

My sins were overwhelming
I couldn’t find my way
I tried so many other things
That just led me astray

But Jesus said He’d rescue me
From the depths of sin
I needed to escape my past
And find some peace within

Oh, what a merciful Savior
Oh, what grace divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus now is mine

So I sat down and prayed a prayer
And asked Him in my heart
There was no doubt He touched me
As I felt Him from the start

From that day on He stayed with me
I grew in His embrace
And now I trust Him every day
To cover me with grace

My heart shouts out His praises
As I lift my voice in song
He’s all I ever needed
With Him I can’t go wrong

Oh, what a merciful Savior
Oh, what grace divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus now is mine


Not Defeated

Solitary
All alone
That will be defeated with my Lord
He is always here inside my heart

Downcast
Hope is lost
That will be defeated with my Lord
He encourages right from the start

When I gave my heart to Jesus
All my doubts and fears He took
He threw them all away
And He told me where to look
He said you’ll find your answers
In the pages of my book

Worried
Faith is weak
That will be defeated with My Lord
He restores my faith when mine is gone

Falling
Strength is gone
That will be defeated with my Lord
He gives me the strength to battle on

I know this world will try me
And will test the faith I claim
But every time I start to fade
I call upon His name
He lifts me up and dusts me off
And then I sing His praise

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Victory is coming from my Lord
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
He gives me the power through His word
I will not be defeated
I will claim 
His mighty name
Hallelujah

One Word

If I could say one word to Jesus
What word would it be
What word would summarize
All my Savior means to me
How can a single word take in
His royal majesty
There must be such a word
That I could speak

Amazing.
So Amazing
So Amazing is His love for me
Truly Amazing
Simply Amazing
How Amazing that Jesus would love me

From on His throne in heaven
He looked down to see my plight
And came to earth to die
So that I could have new life
It’s hard to comprehend such love
For such a worm as I
Amazing

If He would grant me one word
Perhaps He’d grant me two
The next word would be just as hard
To think about and choose
My thoughts would wander through a list
Of words that call-in praise
I’d have to find a word
That would live His holy name

Magnificent
So Magnificent
So Magnificent is my Savior’s love for me
Magnificent
Surely Magnificent
Magnificent that He would care enough

He tells me every day
How much He loves me so
He fills me with His peace
And calms my weary soul
The joy that He bestows on me
It lightens up my load
And His Spirit leads the way
Everywhere I go
Magnificen

God Only Wise

Leave a reply 
Shout to the Lord
Sing out His praise
He is magnificent
In all of His ways

Dance for the Lord
With a heart full of joy
He is Amazing
And, Oh so much more

He formed the earth
Divided the seas
Set up the sun
He created the trees
Brought up the beasts
And birds of the air
Then He made man
His image He shared
And when He was done
He said all was good
Creation was done
It is wonderful

Give to the Lord
All of your praise
Worship His holiness
Lift up His name

Raise up your hands
Lift up your eyes
He is exalted
God only wise

Came down from heaven
Gave up His throne
Suffered and beaten
Left all alone

Forgiving my sin
Washing it white
Filling my life
With His glorious light
Placed in the tomb
Sealed with a stone
Rose up to life
Will soon take me home
Taking my shame
My quilt and my fear
Filled me with peace
He dries every tear

I will rejoice
In Jesus my Lord
Day after day
He’s the one I adore

Forever and ever
I’ll praise His name
For He is worthy
Of all of my praise

He’s Calling Out

Leave a reply 
One day every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord of all
In heaven and in earth

One day everyone will gather
‘Round the throne of God
Some will live eternally
Some will be cast out

He’s calling out today
For all to find His way
So why not bow and pray
To Jesus Christ today

This day you can make the choice
That one day will decide
Whether you will live eternally
Or be the one cast out

This day make the choice for Jesus
He’s the only way
Take Him as your Lord and Savior
Call on Him today

He will take your sins away
Wash them white as snow
He will give you peace and joy
That you have never known

He will grant deliverance
From all that holds you down
He will replace all your fear
With faith that you can grow

He will give you hope that lasts
For all eternity
His love will encompass you
And let’s you know you’re his

He’s calling out today
For all to find His way
So why not bow and pray
To Jesus Christ today

I could have had riches
I could have had fame

Faith that moves mountains
Love like a fountain
All these and more are mine in Jesus’ name

And it is worth it all
It is worth it all
For in Him I have everything I need
It is worth
Yes, it is worth it all
Just to live in His presence and His servant be
