Our Offering

Leave a reply 
His Yoke is easy and His burden is light
He gives joy in the morning and dries tears at night
In our spirit and soul His love shines bright
He’s been so good to me

This yoke is meant to tie us together
So that we will walk step by step
I’m glad that my Lord is stronger than I
When I wander He pulls me back

When I walk step by step with Him
I will always be safe and secure
He’ll guide me to good things each time
Of this I can be very sure

The burden I bear for Him is light
And he wants me to give it away
Each time I spread His great love
It comes back and fills me again

This mercy I carry is pure
It’s a blessing that I must give
His grace is a burden I long for 
Because this world needs to know He forgives

His yoke is easy and His burden is light
Compared to what He bore for me
His yoke was a cross and His burden was sin
When He sacrifice His life for me

The lest I can do is help Him’
Spread the message he came to bring
All can be saved, all can be healed
Because he was our offering.

My God Will Rescue You

Leave a reply 

Cry to the Lord with your prayers
He hears you wherever you are
Tell Him your plans and your dreams
He’ll take you to the stars

Do you need healing today?
Is your body in sickness or pain?
Cry out to Him and be healed
He’ll cover you with His grace

Do you need direction today?
Do you seek to know His will?
Cry out and ask Him to lead
Then just be quiet and still.

Do you need deliverance today?
Does sin have a hold on you?
Repent and turn from your way
My God will rescue you

Do you need understanding today
For decisions that you may face?
Trust that the Spirit will come
With words of assurance and grace

He hears every word you say
He knows every trial and test
Just wait on the Lord and be still
Your prayers always bring His best.

Giver of Mercy

I find I have much unforgiveness
For things others have done in past times 
My mind is wrapped up with vengeance 
My heart has left love far behind

I can't seem to find strength to get over
The hurts and the pains of the past
Now bitterness knocks at my hearts door
And I'm not sure how long it will last

Then I think of the giver or mercy
The Savior who died on the cross 
If He could forgive me if my sin
Who am I to refuse the same thought?

Who am I to refrain from forgiving?
Who am I to hold onto a grudge?
Who am I to refuse to pass on
This gift I've received from my judge?

So I set out to ask true forgiveness
For all the past thoughts in my mind
One by one I approach those who hurt me
Even though they don't know what they've done

I become the giver of mercy
I become the reliever of sin
I become what the Father has longed for
To be like His only Son

Jesus came to this earth to forgive us
To wipe away all our offense
All He asks us for us to pass on
The great gift if mercy immense

Please don't hold onto hurts any longer
Be a giver of mercy to all
This is truly the will if the Father
This is how you can answer His call

He Comes For ou

Leave a reply 
She came into Bethlehem
Meek and mild
Heavy with child
Riding a donkey for many miles
Worn and weary from a long journey
Seeking room to give birth
There was none but a stable
A lowly manger filled with hay
Would be the child’s resting place
Just one stranger in the city
Teaming with visitors
No one knew her
No one cared
No one knew whom she carried in her womb
Yet at his birth
Shepherds from the field came to greet him
They were told by angels to come
Come meet the King
Come meet the Savior
He brings peace on earth
Good will to man
They came
And they bowed
And they worshipped the King
Then they left and told all
And few understood what they said
Mary knew who He was
Joseph knew who He was
But the world did not know who just arrived
In such humility
In such a place as this

He comes into the gate
Lazarus awaits
Freshly risen form the dead
Bartimaeus awaits
His eyes wide open
The crowd awaits
To praise the coming King
Riding on a donkey
Meek and mild
Heavy with His fate and what awaits Him
Not the crowd
Not the praise
But the cross He sees coming for Him
He arrives to Hosannah
Blessed be the one who comes in the name of the Lord
He arrives to praise
Palm branches waving
People shouting and singing
He arrives to death
Calvary looms large in the distance
He knows He will be beaten
He knows He will wear a crown of thorns
He knows He will be condemned to die
He knows He will be nailed to a cross
Crucified
Yet He still comes
In great humility
To fulfill His destiny
And all prophesy
To all who think they know who He is
But have no idea what will become of Him
The pain
The agony
The suffering
The loneliness of the cross
All for us
All for me
All for you 

Will you welcome the King?
Will you lift your palms to worship?
Will you welcome Him today?
Give Him all your praise?
Give your life today?
He gave His for you
Now it’s your turn
Your time
Your destiny
Let Him in
Welcome Him with open arms
He comes to die
Yet He comes to save
He comes to suffer
Yet He comes to heal
He comes to forgive
Yet He takes all your sin
Take His love today
He gives it for you

Rescue Me

Leave a reply 
I'm fighting an enemy I can't see
My mind and my flesh fight against me
I'm tossed about like a ship in the sea
I need someone to rescue me

Why is it so hard to walk the straight path
Without the trials and tests that I have
Why can’t there be a peace that will last
When these storms seem to always come back

I pick up your word and look for the light
You say don't be anxious amidst the fight
Just pray and give thanks in the darkest nights
That's when my peace will erase your plight 

So, I bow my head and fall on my knees
I surrender to you, Lord, and I ask you please
Take this storm away and rescue me
Out of the harsh and wind tossed seas

You say my child I will rescue you
But this storm is one that you must go through
You’ll be amazed at what I will do
When all is done it will strengthen you

Then I lift my hands and I give Him praise
For I know there’s a light at the end of this day
This battle is one where He’ll make a way
And this enemy will go away

It’ A Wonderful Life

I have been restored
  like an old jalopy
    dusted off
      polished up
        engine rebuilt
         all original parts
           running smoothly
            a classic, priceless

I have been redeemed
    like a magazine coupon
     clipped out
       set apart
         brought out of the dark at just the right time
	 given to the one who gives worth to it
              at no cost of my own
                freely given

I have been delivered
   like a letter in the mailbox
     from one place to another
       from my old place to a new place
         a place where I am free
           free from the shackles of my old life
	  brought into a new life
	   a new creation

I have been sanctified
  set apart
    no longer the same
      cleaned up
       made righteous
         filled with the Holy Spirit
          filled with fruit and gifts
           like a horn of plenty on Thanksgiving
	  I have all I need

I am a new creature in Christ
  The old man is gone
    The new man lives by His grace
      He guides me
       He ha a plan for me
        He heals me
         redeems me
           restores me
            delivers me 
             and sanctifies me
 	    I am His
                He has mine

It’s a wonderful life!

Worship

Leave a reply 
Worship the babe
Born in a manger
King of all Kings
To the world He’s a stranger

Worship the man
Showed us the Father
Taught us the way
To life ever after

Worship the Lamb
Led to the slaughter
Beaten and bruised
For His sons and His daughters

Worship the King
He rose up from the grave
Death is defeated
He’s alive again

Worship the Lion
Roaring in Victory
King of all Kings
Lord of all Lords
King of all Kings
And Lord of All Lords

I’m Thankful

Leave a reply 
I’m thankful for your birth
In a lowly manger’s hay
King of Kings you always were
Yet humbly there you lay

I’m thankful for your life
All the mercies that you showed
Healing everyone who came to you
As you taught us God to know

I’m thankful for your prayer
In the Garden all alone
How you gave to God your will
hat His will might be done

I’m thankful for your blood
That was shed upon that tree
My healing was provided for
That day at Calvary

I’m thankful for your death
You did it all for me
You gave your life away
So that I could be set free

I’m thankful that you rise
And live eternally
Now I can have new life
And live abundantly

I’m thankful that you reign
As the Lamb upon the throne
One day I will stand up there
And worship you alone

Start All over

Leave a reply 
If I could start all over again 
What would I do?. How would I change?
If I could rewrite my history book
How would the pages of my life look?

I would stand a little closer
Bow a little lower
Pray a little harder
Fall in love a little deeper with my Lord
I would share a little louder 
Walk beside my brother
Introduce my Savior to a lost and dying world

If I knew then what I know now
What would the end result show?

Would more know Jesus?
Would more be healed?
Would more walk with grace?
Would more lift His praise?
I believe if I did the things I should do
Then many more people would know the truth. 

I should stand a little closer
Bow a little lower
Pray a little harder
Fall in love a little deeper with my Lord
I should share a little louder 
Walk beside my brother
Introduce my Savior to a lost and dying world
