My life was not always so joyful
Peace has just recently come
I could not find rest
Until I was blessed
By knowing that Jesus had won
Before I knew Him I was lonely
Forlorn in my sinful ways
His mercy found me
His grace set me free
Now I’ll have Him all of my days
Do you know that Jesus loves you
That He died on the cross for your sins
Ask Him today
To take yours away
Then peace and joy will reign within
In response to the daily prompt Forlorn
I can’t describe the feeling
Of growing close to God
I started at a distance
The way to him seemed broad
But as I traveled further
I found the narrow way
I found myself grow nearer
To Jesus every day
The closer I grew to him
It seemed less like a tunnel
Because the way got tighter
It felt more like a funnel
The light was there to greet me
When I reached His saving grace
Out I came and ready
My friends and foes to face
The journey trough that funnel
Prepared me for this day
So I can share the gospel
And lead folks in his way
In response to the daily prompt Funnel
He’s leading me
Through waters deep
Up mountains steep
His way I’ll keep
He’s leading me
He speaks to me
In still of night
With words of light
Keeps me upright
He speaks to me
Jesus Savior
My Messiah
Always by my side
Jesus, soon and coming King
In Him I abide
He’s here with me
When I am down
He makes no sound
But He’s around
He’s here with me
He comforts me
In times of grief
When joy seems brief
He gives relief
He comforts me
And when the road is hardest
When all hope seems to go
I know that He will see me through
Because He loves me so
Jesus Savior
My Messiah
Always by my side
Jesus, soon and coming King
In Him I abide
A short worship chorus the Lord gave me this morning:
I give you all the glory
I give you all the praise
For you alone are worthy
All of my days
I raise my hands to worship
I live to honor you
I give you all the glory
I give you all the praise
It’s time to praise Him
To Lift our hands up high
Let your voice be heard
Through all the earth
Its time to worship
Our hearts turned to the sky
His glory raised on high
For all to see
For He saved us by His love
He healed us with His blood
He freed us from the sin that ruled our lives
Delivered us from hell
His story we must tell
The world must know of His great sacrifice
It’s time to glorify
The one who gave His life
Our Savior Jesus Christ
Let’s shout and sing
It’s time to honor Him
The Lamb of God was slain
Our victory He gained
We owe Him everything
For He saved us by His love
He healed us with His blood
He freed us from the sin that ruled our lives
Delivered us from hell
His story we must tell
The world must know of His great sacrifice
Worship Him
Worship Him
Lift the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
Worship Him
Worship Him
Lift the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
For He saved us by His love
He healed us with His blood
He freed us from the sin that ruled our lives
Delivered us from hell
His story we must tell
The world must know of His great sacrifice
Without Him I am lost
With Him I am found
Without Him I am weak
With Him I am strong
Without Him I have doubt
With Him I have faith
Without Him I have fear
With Him I’m not afraid
Without Him sorrow looms
With Him joy abounds
Without Him turmoil stirs
With Him peace surrounds
Without Him I’m in sin
With Him mercy reigns
Without Him life is hard
With Him there is grace
Without Him I am poor
With Him I have no needs
Without Him darkness reigns
With Him light guides me
Without Him I am bound
With Him I am free
Without Him hell awaits
With Him heav’n for me
I see cherubim and seraphim
As they dance in sheer delight.
The elders bow before the Lamb
As he comes full in their sight.
The sound of anthems fills the skies
And the clouds bear majesty
As we sing around His throne
.
All hail the King
Who is sitting on the throne
All hail the one
Who came to earth below.
He chose to bleed and die
So that I could have new life.
Now the heavens sound his praise forevermore.
Angels gather ’round the throne of God
Their praises fill the heavens,
I approach the throne room and bow down
At the sight of Holy splendor.
I hear loud hosannas ring
And hallelujahs sing,
I can’t help but join the chorus with my praise
All hail the King
Who is sitting on the throne
All hail the one
Who came to earth below.
He chose to bleed and die
So that I could have new life.
Now the heavens sound his praise forevermore.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah to the King.
Loud Hosannas in the highest
Is the chorus that we sing.
Never Above my Savior
Always below His feet
His love divine
Will always be mine
In Him I am complete
Never Above His mercy
Always below His gaze
His peace sublime
Mine for all time
When i am under His grace
Sweet is His love for me
Sweet mercy given so free
Love was nailed onto a tree
Raised high so all could see
Never above redemption
Always forgiveness I need
Sinner within
Finds comfort in Him
Daily I bow at His feet
Never above His calling
Always beholding to Him
Every new day
I bow down to pray
Asking His guidance within
Sweet is His love for me
Sweet mercy given so free
Love was nailed onto a tree
Raised high so all could see
Oh what a savior
Oh what a friend
Gave all He had
Right to the end
Sweet is His love for me
Sweet mercy given so free
Love was nailed onto a tree
Raised high so all could see
The day has quickly past
The gifts are all unwrapped
The wrappings have been swiftly thrown away
The Christmas feast is done
Guests have all gone home
Now you rest from such a busy day
Your mind goes drifting back
To the year that has just past
You write down all the wonderful events
Then you start to plan
For the year that is at hand
Hoping to achieve the very best
You start to make a list
Of thinks that you would wish
Would come true in the coming year
Perhaps this year would be
A good year to agree
A closer walk with God would be so dear
Take more time to pray
Read the word each day
Listen for the sound of His sweet voice
Help those who have needs
Be a friend indeed
Always strive to make the righteous choice
Tell God all your fears
Let Him dry your tears
He will fill your heart with His sweet peace
Bring your needs to Him
And you will always win
All your doubts and worry He’ll release
With these resolutions
We know that the conclusion
Will open up a year that’s full of life
So please take time to pray
That you would find a way
To have a closer walk with Jesus Christ
Down from above
Bringing His love
The Savior came on Christmas day
Babe in the hay
Quiet He lay
While angels proclaimed His praise
Shepherds rejoiced
They heard Angels voice
To Bethlehem they made their way
Bowing in honor
Glory forever
To Jesus who came as a babe
He came down to save us
He came down to free us
From sweet little babe
To sacrifice made
He came down and gave us His grace
I cannot imagine
His love I can’t fathom
That He would give up His throne
His birth was obscure
His life was a blur
Only three years was this earth His home
From lowly beginning
To triumphant King
He had to give all he had
His death on the cross
Was such a great loss
But victory came in the end
He came down to save us
He came down to free us
From sweet little babe
To sacrifice made
He came down and gave us His grace
Emmanuel
God with us
The form of a babe
The Lord of Lords lay
Ready to redeem us all
He came down to save us
He came down to free us
From sweet little babe
To sacrifice made
He came down and gave us His grace
The Psalmist
