What A Loss

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


All Creation Lifts Their Voice

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

Hosanna, hosanna, praise to the Lord

For All My Sin

Leave a reply 
Brought before the judgment hall
Though He just did good
Persecuted false was He
Condemned for my sin

Beaten within one last breath
Wore a crown of thorns
Spit and kicked upon was He
Bruised for all my sin

Carried His own cross of death
Fell beneath it's weight
Nailed through hands and feet was He
Suffered for my sin

Given vinegar to drink
Sword pierced through His side
Hanging there for me was He
Dying for my sin

High and lifted up was He
High above the ground
Hanging on a cross was He
Taking all my sin

He gave His own life away
To purchase life for me
Placed in borrowed tomb was He
Buried for my sin.

I will lift my voice to Him
And give Him all my praise
For He did all of this for me
I will praise His name

Jesus Is Dead

Leave a reply 
They pierced His side.  Blood and water poured out
Jesus was dead there was not a doubt

They took His body from an old rugged cross
Laid Him in a tomb and now we are lost

Shut up in a room and hiding in fear
That solders would come and take us away.

He was our teacher and also our friend
We thought He would come as Messiah and King

He healed the sick and He raised the dead
And now we all grieved because Jesus was dead

He taught us truth and to love everyone
He gave us hope in a heaven above

Sadness was present and tears filled our eyes
We were so close when He was alive

And now we all shuddered up in that room
Praying and hoping to escape doom

"What now?" we all asked where can we go?
Jesus is dead and we are alone

In Jesus Name

Leave a reply 
Today is the day. Don't let it pass
Don't get in the way. But make it last
The present is yours. The past is gone
The future unknown. Now is your time

Time for healing from old hurts and pains
Just let them go in Jesus name
Time for salvation. Let sin wash away
Your sin is all gone in Jesus name

Time for deliv'rance, released from the chains
Free to worship in Jesus name
Time for revival, your voice filled with praise
Singing, rejoicing in Jesus name

In Jesus there’s healing, salvation for all
In Jesus deliv'rance, reviving your heart
So praise Him, and lift up His wonderful name
And then you will never be the same

Who Will You Follow

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








If Only

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














Keep Me Through The Night

Leave a reply 
Monday morning, waking up
I rise from off my bed
And realize quite instantly
That I am not dead
So I shake my head real slowly
From side to side it flows
And a smile comes upon my face
It's time to praise the Lord

I praise Him that He gives me breath
To wake me up this day
I praise Him that my eyes still work
To see me on my way
I praise Him that I hear the sounds
That filter through my room
I praise Him that He's there with me
That I am not alone

I praise Him that my arms and hands
Still have the strength to hold
I praise Him that my legs will work
To take me where untold
I praise Him that I feel His love
Still shining from above
I praise Him that His spirit
Still comes in like a dove

And now, five minutes in the day
I know His wondrous grace
Has kept me through the night again
So I can praise His name

Sweet Release

Leave a reply 
I fell into the devil's snare and tried hard to get out
I fought and clawed and kicked real hard I even tried to shout
But no one on this earth could come and free me from this trap
I finally succumbed to him and thought my life would pass

I found myself get comfortable in all the evil ways
But deep inside I knew my life was doomed to be a waste
I tried to medicate my mind and drink myself to joy
But all I did was deeper go into this sin and toil

Then one day someone told me of a man from long ago
Who came to set us free from sin so we could be made whole
I could not believe that such a simple step would pay
But nonetheless I called to Him and this is what I said

"Dear Jesus, I was told one day that you'd forgive my sins
That you died on a cross that day to come and live within
I am weak and tired Lord of fighting off this load
So won't you please forgive me now and I will make you Lord".

Then suddenly the pain was gone, I felt a sweet release
I knew that something changed in me because I now had peace
The drink and drugs were gone and now I only wanted Him
Because He rescued me that day and took away my sin

How wonderful is Jesus to all who call on Him
He'll come and make you whole again and give you peace within
If you don't know the Savior then why not pray my prayer
And you can be made whole again.
Please pray this prayer today?

"Dear Jesus, I was told one day that you'd forgive my sins
That you died on a cross that day to come and live within
I am weak and tired Lord of fighting off this load
So won't you please forgive me now and I will make you Lord".
