Deep In Praise

Leave a reply

When all is said and done
And the daytime light is gone
I will lift to God my song
Of praise

And when the stars do shine
And nighttime moon aligns
I will know it is the time
To praise

For within each passing moment
There’s a time to worship Him
With each breath I’m reminded of His love
So I’ll lift my praise to Jesus
And I’ll lift my hands to Him
He just showers down His blessings from above

Now when the morning light
Brings daytime from the night
I’ll know it’s only right
To praise

The birds all start to sing
And then they take to wing
The sun their following
To praise

If all creation knows
It’s time to praise the Lord
Then why should I do anything that’s less
I’ll lift my voice up high
So all can hear me sing
Because I want to give my very best

And then the day has passed
I’ll settle down at last
As I run out of gas
I’ll praise

I’ll settle down too sleep
My soul I know He’ll keep
Because I lived so deep
In praise

Why Am I So Surprised?

2 Replies

Why am I so surprised
When healing starts to come
My feet are feeling better
My toes are much less numb
I can feel floor beneath mike
And it feels like solid ground
I’m amazed it’s feeling better
Than it has for many months

Why am I so surprised
When peace comes in the storm
I can’t explain the reason
That I feel no alarm
The waves and wind are higher
And the feeling is not warm
Yet I am sitting calmly
In the center of this storm

His promises come calling
At every time of day
And when we least expect it
They come and overtake
Our healing our deliverance
Our peace and joy and hope
Are all just waiting for us
To take us by surprise

Why am I so surprised
When joy just bubbles forth
I just was lost in sorrow
And was feeling deep remorse
Then an overwhelming feeling
Of unexpected joy
Came up from deep within me
And made my heart rejoice

I shouldn’t be surprised
That His promise comes to pass
But I am
I shouldn’t be surprised
When He answers all my prayers
But I am
His promises are true
His mercy has no end
His grace is so amazing
His love is not pretend

His promises come calling
At every time of day
And when we least expect it
They come and overtake
Our healing our deliverance
Our peace and joy and hope
Are all just waiting for us
To take us by surprise

Fallen Tribe

Leave a reply

It’s really quite ridiculous
That sometimes I give in
To what my flesh desires
And I let the devil win

The fight is so uneven
With God right by my side
The power of the universe
Against a fallen tribe

I really need to walk with God
Throughout all of my days
He will keep me going right
By His amazing grace

I Bow At Your Feet

Leave a reply

I bow at your feet

My Lord and my Savor
You make me complete
You give me your favor
There’s never a day
That I can’t depend
On your mercy and grace
To carry me through

There are days that I wander
Away from you Lord
My path just meanders
To places unknown
Yet you search me out
And you bring me back home
So then once again
I can rest in your arms

You love me so much
Every day of my life
I don’t deserve such
A love so divine
You keep bringing me back
When my path goes astray
Your grace comes a calling
To show e the way
 
So, I bow at your feet
My Savior and Lord
You always pursue me
With your loving heart
There’s never a day
That I can’t depend
On your mercy and grace
To carry me through

House of Worship

The house of worship 

Is a place 

That I hold very dear

The time I spend

Inside those walls

Bring me to God so near

The music starts 

To play the tunes

Of His amazing grace 

And soon our praise

Is lifted high

Filling up the place

Let’s go to the house of worship 

Let’s sing with hands up raised 

Let’s sing our Hallelujahs 

Let’s give Jesus our praise

Our praises ring out

Higher still

I feel the Spirit come

He floods on in

To touch the saints 

Who sing the worship songs 

His presence there

Is oh so sweet

He reaches deep within

To comfort all

Brings healing too 

And eases suffering 

Let’s go to the house of worship 

Let’s sing with hands up raised 

Let’s sing our Hallelujahs 

Let’s give Jesus our praise

What a mighty God we serve

He comes into our midst 

He so desires our highest praise

I’ll always do my best

To worship Him with all my heart 

My mind my soul my strength 

I’ll raise my voice to heaven 

To honor His great name

Let’s go to the house of worship 

Let’s sing with hands up raised 

Let’s sing our Hallelujahs 

Let’s give Jesus our praise

One Good Choice

Leave a reply

Many will say their life is just fine
And I think that’s terrific
But when they talk about what comes next
They don’t get too specific

Some say maybe heaven’s for me
Others think a party in hell
Some say they will just rot in the ground
And some just cannot tell

I’d like to get real specific today
There is only one good choice to make
Accept Jesus Christ and heaven’s your home
If not, then in hell you will bake

Bless His Name

I will sing of the wonderful love of Jesus
How he came to earth that day
He gave up His throne in the heavens
To be born in a stable of hay

I will sing of His wonderful mercy
And His amazing grace
I will sing my Hallelujah’s
And give Him all my praise

Bless His name
His lovely name
There’s no sweeter name than Jesus
Bless His name
So sweet the sound
Jesus, Jesus

I will sing of the teaching He brought us
How He showed the Fathers love
He healed the sick and the blind man
And delivered those who were bound

I will sing of the way He provided
For the crowds that gathered round
I will sing of His glorious presence
And make a joyful sound

Bless His name
His lovely name
There’s no sweeter name then Jesus
Bless His name
So sweet the sound
Jesus, Jesus

Then He gave His life
On a cross of shame
Crucified for me
Bless His Holy name
He died to set me free
And give me life eternally

Bless His name
His lovely name
There’s no sweeter name than Jesus
Bless His name
So sweet the sound
Jesus, Jesus
