You Took My Place

He is worthy, Oh so worthy

He is worthy of my praise
I will lift my voice to worship
I will magnify His name

God of Glory, Lord of Heaven
Sent your son to die for me
On that cross He paid the ransom
So that I could be redeemed

Son of God, you left your glory
Came to suffer for my sin
Lived a life to show me mercy
Taught me love and peace within

He is worthy, Oh so worthy
He is worthy of my praise
I will lift my voice to worship
I will magnify His name

For even though they mocked and beat you
Even though they pierced your side
Still you cried out God forgive them
Then you hung your head and died

Let me live a life of mercy
Always showing truth and grace
For on that cross you set the standard
On that cross, you took my place

He is worthy, Oh so worthy
He is worthy of my praise
I will lift my voice to worship
I will magnify His name













This Day

The sun comes up. The day begins

I lift my hands in praise to Him
No tongue can tell. No eye can see
What this new day will bring to me.

It could be clouds, it could be sun
I'll shout my praise whatever comes
It could be pain or hours of woe
But that won't stop His mercy flow
Because I know he loves me so

This day He loves me. This day He'll carry me
This day He'll give me peace. This day He's mine
This day His mercy shows. This day His grace still grows
This day my path He knows. This day. This day.

if I should cry beneath the load
He'll comfort me with joy untold
If should fear what trial may come
He'll calm my fear and give me song

There is no burden He can't lift
This day is His amazing gift
Whatever comes, He'll see me through
His grace will show me what to do

This day He loves me. This day He'll carry me
This day He'll give me peace. This day He's mine
This day His mercy shows. This day His grace still grows
This day my path He knows. This day. This day.

So I will shout my praise and lift my song
To the King of Kings and Lord of Lords
My Savior, my Emmanuel
Jesus Christ my risen Lord
I know He loves me so.











Just Wait on the Lord

When the tide comes against you

And the waves seem to large
Just wait on the Lord
And He will rescue you

When the mountain looms before you
And the walk seems to steep
Just wait on the Lord
And He will carry you

When the valley is deep
And the river seems wide
just wait on the Lord
And He will part the waters

When your health seems to fail
And sickness sets in on you
Just wait on the Lord
And He will heal you

When your money runs out
And you can't meet your bills
Just wait on the Lord
And he will supply.

You see there is nothing God cannot do
If we will just wait on Him.
No wave to high
No mountain too bog
No valley to deep
No sickness to hard
No need to large
That He won't see you through
Just wait, I say wait on the Lord









His Name Is Jesus Christ

There's a calm in the midst of the storm

His name is Jesus, Jesus
There is healing when life does you harm
His name is Jesus Christ

There is peace when the chaos seems strong
His name is Jesus, Jesus
There is hope when it seems hope s gone
His name is Jesus Christ

Jesus, name above all names
Jesus, Emmanuel
Jesus, victor in all things
Jesus Christ our Lord

There is healing when life brings sickness
His name is Jesus, Jesus
There is comfort when life is just a mess
His name is Jesus Christ

Jesus, name above all names
Jesus, Emmanuel
Jesus, victor in all things
Jesus Christ our Lord

He is our King, He is our Lord
He is the risen Savior
He gives us life, He gives us breath
He is our Mighty God

Jesus, name above all names. Jesus, Emmanuel
Jesus, victor in all things
Jesus Christ our Lord














I Know You Will Make A Way

I will worship you Lord with all my heart

I will praise you every day
I will bow at your feet
And when I have a need
I know you will make a way

You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord
Holy and righteous and true
You gave your life for me on Calvary
And now you are Savior to all

I will follow you Lord with all my strength
I will trust you every day
And when troubles arise
I will lift up my eyes
I know you will make a way.

You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord
Holy and righteous and true
You gave your life for me on Calvary
And now you are Savior to all

You'll make a way for my healing
You'll make a way for my peace
You'll make a way for my strength to arise
You'll make a way for me

You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord
Holy and righteous and true
You gave your life for me on Calvary
And now you are Savior to all
You gave your life for me on Calvary
And now you are Savior to all














None But You, Lord

Who brings the sunrise with all its brilliant hues?

Who gives the birds voice to sing their lovely tunes?
Who brings the mist that leaves the morning dew?
None but you, Lord. None but you.

Who brings a gentle breeze to clear the air and sky?
Who brings the clouds that gently float on by?
Who opens flowers up and asks the bees to fly?
none but you, Lord. None but you

You're the one who made this land to glorify your name
And all creation joins in song to lift you up in praise
The heavens shout your majesty and creatures sing their song
As long as I have breath, I will sing along.

Who puts the stars in place, a twinkle in their eye?.
Who shapes the moon a little different every night?
Who watches over me when darkness blinds my sight?
None but you, Lord. None but you.

You're the one who heals me when things just don't go right
You're the one who comforts me when no hope is in sight.
You're the one who gives me strength when mine has taken flight
You're the only one I need

You're the one who made this land to glorify your name
And all creation joins in song to lift you up in praise
The heavens shout your majesty and creatures sing their song
As long as I have breath, I will sing along.


















God Shows Up

When I am weary and worn, God shows up

When I am hurting and tired, God shows up
When I seem to have lost my way, God shows up
When I can't seem to bow and pray, God shows up
When I least expect it, God shows up
To help me on my way

He never leaves me without hope
He guides me every day.
His strength becomes what carries me
Through all the storms and tests
I know that when He's by my side
My life can be at rest

When life gets hard, and fear is near, God shows up
When I can’t seem to get in gear, God shows up.
When clouds are all that fills the sky, God shows up
When all I do is wonder why, God shows up
When I least expect it, God shows up
To help me on my way

He never leaves me without hope
He guides me every day.
His strength becomes what carries me
Through all the storms and tests
I know that when He's by my side
My life can be at rest

He's there to hear my every cry
And answer every prayer
So when I seem to drift and sway
He's only a breath away

When I'm at peace, and life seems good, God shows up
When I am on the mountaintop, God shows up
When praise is all my lips will shout, God shows up
When He s all I think about, God shows up
So now I know that every moment,
Every single day
No matter what this world may throw
God will show up
And I will rest in knowing
That all things are for my good
Because he is always right there by me
Waiting to show up!

This Is my Plea

I am not able to stand without your mercy.  

I am not able to walk without your grace
I cannot see beyond the dawn of each new day.
Without you as my guide and my strength

I am not strong enough to face the challenge
I am not brave enough to fight the fight
I cannot understand the trials that come my way
Without your mercy and your grace

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

I cannot see the end of this trial
I do not know how it all will turn out
I can only trust in you, my God
To walk me through this fight

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

By my self I am lost in this world of unknowns
Desperately trying to figure life out
Then your Spirit comes in and calms my soul
And I can rest in your embrace

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

I Wait On You

I am hungry.

Hungry for your Word
Hungry for your Spirit
Hungry for a touch from you
Hungry for the bread of life
Hungry.

So I wait on you Lord
Patiently I wait
Determined I wait
Expecting I wait
I wait on you.

I am thirsty.
Thirsty for that living water
Thirsty for the latter rain
Thirsty for the water turned to wine
Thirsty for your mercy
I am thirsty.

So I wait on you Lord
Patiently I wait
Determined I wait
Expecting I wait
I wait on you.

I know you will hear
I know you will answer
I know your answer will be good
Even if it's not the answer I desire
I know you seek only my good

I love you, Lord.
I praise you, Lord.
I honor you, Lord
I adore you, Lord
I wait on you.



You Are Worthy of My Praise

You are worthy of my praise

This day and every day
You are worthy of my praise

When I open my eyes
And arise from my sleep
You are worthy of my praise
.
When I prepare for the day
And take my morning meal
You are worthy of my praise

When I arrive at work
And begin my daily tasks
You are worthy of my praise

When I stop for my lunch
From the bounty you provide
You are worthy of my praise

As i continue through the day
And finish my days work
You are worthy of my praise

As i sit down at home
And rest from a long day
You are worthy of my praise

As I lay my head to rest
And close my eyes in sleep\
You are worthy of my praise
.
It matters not if the sun is shining
It matters now if t's dry or wet
It matters not if I'm healthy or sick
It matters not if I'm rich or poor
It matters not what the day brings to me
It matters not what others my do or say
You are always and forever
Worthy of my praise.
