The Great I Am

Leave a reply 
It's time to praise Him
Time to lift His name up high
Time to tell of His great love to all
To stand and testify
It's time to praise Him
Time to lift your voices high
Time to give Him all the honor
To laud and glorify

For He alone is worthy
Worthy is the Lamb
Jesus is the Lord of all
The great I AM
It's time to worship Him
Time to turn our hearts to God
Time to put away our sin and shame
To fully put Him on

It's time to worship Him
Time to sing His songs of praise
Time to dance around the throne of God
To Him our hearts we raise
For He alone is worthy
Worthy is the Lamp
Jesus is the Lord of all
The great I AM

So sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords
The great I AM
Lord Jesus how we love you
We magnify your name
Jesus you are all I want
So here is all my praise

So sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords
The great I AM

God Sets My Feet

1 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.

Make It Today

When will you make His peace your peace
When will you make His joy yours
When will you make His love your love
Make it today. Please make it today

When will you claim the healing He gives
When will you claim His deliverance
When will you claim the power He gives
Make it today. Please make it today

This world needs to see the works of Jesus
Each and every day
And we are the ones He called to do them
Please won't you make it today

When will you lead your friends to Jesus
When will you pray that they'll be healed
When will you let the Spirit lead you
Make it today. Please make it today

When will revival hit our nation
When will we see immorality die
When will we see that God is moving
Make it today. Please make it today.

This world needs to see the works of Jesus
Each and every day
And we are the ones He called to do them
Please, won't you make it today
Please, won't you make it today
Say "Lord I will make it today!"

I Can’t Thank You Enough

I Can’t Thank You Enough
I can't thank you enough
For all you've done for me
You came down from heaven
To bear Calvary's tree
I can't thank you enough
For all you've done for me
You gently knocked on the door of my heart

I can't love you enough
For all you've done for me
You gave me your love and took my misery
I can't love you enough
For all you've done for me
You gently knocked on the door of my heart

Lamb of God, Messiah
I am yours forever
Holy, holy, holy is your name
King of Kings, my Savior 
Merciful forever
I will never, ever walk away.

I can't praise you enough
For what you've done for me 
You poured out grace and gave me mercy
I can't praise you enough
For what you've done for me
You gently knocked on the door of my heart

I can't serve you enough
For all you've done for me
You took off your crown and gently washed my feet
I can't serve you enough
For all you've done for me
You gently knocked on the door of my heart

Lamb of God, Messiah
I am yours forever
Holy, holy, holy is your name
King of Kings, my Savior 
Merciful forever
I will never, ever walk away.

One Shining Light

Leave a reply 
The stars
Placed by the hand of God
Guided mariners on the open sea
For centuries
Never changing patterns
Etched across a dark night sky
True and faithful
A light
One shining light
Seen way off in the distance
Perhaps 10-15-20 miles away
Can guide me to the point of it's origin
If I just keep my eyes
On the light
Jesus is the Light,
Shining in the darkness of life
Shining as a guide to all who seek
Shining as a guide to all who are astray
Guiding him back
always closer\to His loving arms
Set your eyes on the Light,
And the storms of this life will not waver your course
The trials will not dampen your spirit
And the clouds will never dim the glow
The Light that shines in the darkness
The Light - Jesus Christ.

Be Still and Know That He Is God

Leave a reply 
Be still. 
In the middle of the storm
Be still.
When your heart aches
Be still
When your mind doubt
Be still
When trials overtake you
Be still
When the enemy comes in like a flood
Be still
When you're afraid
Be still
When your body is aching and tired
Be still
Be still
Listen for His voice
Be still
Hear Him whisper in your heart
Be still
The God of all creation knows what you're going through
He knows where you struggle
He knows where you hurt
He desires that you be still
And know that He is God

So, So Good

Leave a reply 
He brought me
Out of my misery into His victory
He has been so, so good to me

He brought me
Out of my sinfulness into His righteousness
He has been so, so good to me

CHORUS
His mercy has overwhelmed me. His grace has justified me
His love has raised me out of my despair
He did not have to do it. He did not have to save me
Yet He chose to give His life away

He brought me
Out of my suffering into His blessing
He has been so, so good to me

CHORUS

BRIDGE
What a wonderful Savior, what a wonderful friend
He has been so, so good to me (REPEAT)

CHORUS

All Over Me

Leave a reply 
How can we know we’re your children?
How can I know I’m your son?
How can I know that your work in me
Has only just begun?

How can I know the goodness that you have bestowed on me
Will be a blessing to others that belong to your family?

It’s your presence, Lord
Your presence in me
A holy anointing that’s all over me
Wherever I go. Whoever I meet
Will feel that anointing that’s all over me

How can I share this good news that you have brought liberty?
How can I share this compassion that you have rained down on me?
Every day in every way this world is looking at me
To see if I have the courage to speak and set captives free

It’s your presence Lord
Your presence in me
Your Holy Spirit that’s all over me
I walk in your goodness overflowing with love
Everyone will know that your all over me

Every word I speak. Everything I do
Every one I meet is a chance to prove
That your glory shines in the heart of man
Let your kingdom come through my life again

It’s your presence, Lord
Your presence in me
A holy anointing that’s all over me
Wherever I go. Whoever I meet
Will feel that anointing that’s all over me

He Wants No Less

Leave a reply 
He wants no less from us than mercy
Mercy to each soul that comes along
Don’t justify your harsh words or your temper
Give mercy to each one and make them strong

He wants no less from you than grace
Grace that reaches everyone you meet
Don’t justify your gossip and backbiting
Just speak to everyone with words of peace

He wants no less from you than forgiveness
Forgiveness that will pardon every hurt
Don’t justify your grudges and complaining
Forgive each one who troubles your hard heart

He wants no less from you than the truth
Truth that speaks to everything in life
Don’t justify your white lies and your fables
Just speak with words of truth and you’ll survive

He wants no less from you than great love
Love that surpasses all who see
Don’t justify your anger and repulsion
Let love guide every word that you will speak

These things and more we should do each day
For Jesus came to show us the way
These are the things He taught us to do
Not go against them every day

So guard your heart and close your mouth
Let goodness flow from you
Let your light shine for all to see
In all you say and do.

Your Mercy

Leave a reply 
I seek your mercy, Lord
All that is within me needs your mercy, Lord
I seek your mercy, Lord
A heart that wanders from you longs for mercy, Lord
Let mercy bring new life to me

You move the mountains
You calm the sea
Sit on the throne in majesty
Why do you think of me?
Why do you care for me?
Why did you die for me?
Out of mercy, Your mercy.

Come fill my soul with peace.
Come now and rescue me
Come bring new life to me
By your mercy, your mercy
