God Shows Up

Leave a reply 
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!



Get Busy

Leave a reply 
"What is your will, Lord" I asked Him today 
As I knelt down this morning and started to pray 
I want to know that I'll walk in your way
For all the days of my life

"My will is that all will come to know me
Go into all of the world is my plea
Preaching the gospel and setting them free
My will has never changed "

I bowed my head as I knew I'd done less
I hadn't been doing His work to my best
And still He had seen that my life was blessed 
I praised Him for His sweet grace

He said "Son, I am pleased with your life at this time
You have done a great work, many souls are now mine
Never believe that your light has not shined
Your testimony is sure"

"But I know there's so much more I can do
To bring others along so they can know you
And save them from lives of eternal doom
Why have I been so laid back?"

I heard Him smile as He said "That is past
Remember the future is mine, and it lasts
So start today and give me your best
Get busy and preach the word"

My Way Back

Leave a reply 
I saw the old man 
walk into church that Sunday morn
His clothes were tattered
his skin was worn
I could smell the hardness of life 
Three pews away
And I was ready to move 
when I heard him pray 

I've got to find my way back to you
I've drifted too far away
Not sure how far I've strayed
I've got to find my way back to you
Please keep shining your light 
into this night 
that I'm going thru

He sat alone
no one dared to come near
The music started 
he bowed his head
I could see the tears 
were running down his face
As we sang Amazing Grace 
he looked up and prayed

Dear God 
I'm not sure what I need to do
My life is such a big mess 
I can't find any rest
Dear God 
please show me what I need to do
To get turned around 
and be grounded in you again

I could feel the tears 
start running from my eyes
And while the music played on 
I moved to his side
I said friend 
the Lord has heard your cry
Would you come with me right now
I will help you find your way

As the music 
played just as I am
We knelt down
bowed our heads
closed our eyes
and he started to pray

Father forgive me 
for the wrongs I have done
I give you my life 
I'll follow your Son
I promise my life 
will be yours from now on
Dear Jesus
thank you for my friend

Then he took my hand
and gave a gentle squeeze
A smile as big as heaven 
broke his weary, worn face
I know that he'd met Jesus
and I looked up in praise

Lord I thank you 
for showing us the way
When we get lost on the path 
you keep drawing us back
Lord I thank you 
for this new-found friend
Yes he found his way back 
all the way back to you

All Is Well

Leave a reply 

It is well with my spirit
It is well with my Lord
I've been washed in the blood
I have been restored 
A home in heaven 
Will be my reward 
All is well, all is well 
With my Lord

It is well with my body
I am healed throughout 
By the stripes on his back
Healing came about
And each day when I wake up
I will sing and shout
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

It is well in my mind 
There's no doubt or fear
For the thorns on His brow 
Left His peace in there
And the faith I now have
Gives me cause to cheer
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

All is well all the time
When I have His grace
All is well all the time 
When His mercy reigns
I can't wait for the day 
When I see His face
I'm in love,  I'm in love 
With my Lord

It is well with my life
Since the day I prayed
Asking Jesus to hear me 
So that I'd be saved 
Now I know He is with me
Each and every day 
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

All is well, all is well 
With my Lord all the time 
He has given me love
He has given me live
I will follow Him
All the days if my life 
All is well, all is well 
With my Lord

Where Is Christ?

Leave a reply 
I see you
Sitting in darkness
Covered by life
Smelly
Dirty
Overtaken in dismay
Disheartened 
Defeated 
Lost

I wonder 
How you got there
What was you're life
Successful
Happy
Enriched by children
Bright future 
Victorious 
Alive

Then it all fell apart
Crumbled 
Like a house of cards
All gone 
Job
Family
Respect 
Position 
One mistake
All gone

I don't see
Your need
I blind myself 
I shut my mind
I walk on by

Where is Christ 
Where is mercy
Where is compassion 
Where is love

Christ
Is in you
Calling out
Wanting me to turn
To open the door 
To let you in

Christ 
Is in me
Begging to act
To touch you
To heal you
To bring peace
Bring joy

I don't listen
I walk on by
I fail

Help me, Lord
To open my eyes
And my heart
To you.

Precious Time

Leave a reply 
I'm awake
Sleep still lingers 
Eyes are opening 
Dim light
From the kitchen 
Dull illumination
Filters in
I'm awake

First things first 
Time to praise Him
The Lord of all
Kings of Kings
My Savior 
Jesus Christ 
I lift His mighty name 
And thank Him
He has been so good to me

Now prayer
Prayer for healing 
Of my friends 
They need a touch
Today 
Prayer for direction 
For finances 
For protection in Turkey 
For provision 
All for friends 
A thank you Lord
From me

I feel His hand upon me
As I write these simple words
I cannot help but wonder 
Who am I
That He would take the time
To hear my little prayer
The God of all creation 
By my side

And on this quiet morning 
While everyone's asleep 
I pen these words before 
I rise from bed
I know the Lord goes with me
As my day will soon begin
So I roll back on my side
And rest my head

Early morning 
No one waking
Quiet fills the room
Time with God 
Precious time
Can't wait 
'Til it comes again


Praise In The Night

Leave a reply 
In the middle of the night
With my back in pain
I cry to the Lord
Heal me again
But it seems like my words 
Are said in vain 
Oh Lord won't you hear my prayer

Then my enemy
Speaks into my ear 
Don't you know He sleeps 
And He cannot hear
Just forget your god 
And cry your tears
Your God doesn't really care

But I turn my head
And I shut him out
I don't need his words
That are full of doubt
I know just the thing 
To turn this about
I'll just start to praise the Lord

How I love you Lord
For your mercy reigns 
You have healed before 
And will heal again
I adore you Lord
And I praise your name 
What an awesome God I serve

He is full of love
And majesty 
He is stronger than 
My enemy
He will not allow me
To see defeat
His victory's coming soon

Now I lay my head
Back down to sleep
For I know my God
My soul will keep 
He's my solid rock 
And He'll always be
The Lord who will comfort me.

How I love you Lord
For your mercy reigns 
You have healed before 
And will heal again
I adore you Lord
And I praise your name 
What an awesome God I serve

Worthy of My Praise Forever

Leave a reply 
Groping in the darkness
Middle of the night 
Squinty eyes are opening 
Trying to find some light
Moonbeam through the window 
Rays are oh so bright
What a perfect time to praise the Lord


Found a piece of paper
Writing words to sing
Melody comes slowly
Sound of flowing spring
Hymn now comes together 
This my offering 
What a perfect time to praise the Lord

Wonderful Redeemer
Jesus is my Lord 
Marvelous Creator 
Jesus I adore
Mighty King and Savior
Jesus Lamb of God 
I lift up my voice to you in praise

Glorious Deliverer 
Jesus King of Kings
Great and Wondrous Counselor
Jesus Lord of Lords
Merciful Transformation
Jesus friend of mine 
My lips worship Him eternally

Praises all to Jesus 
Praises to His name
Worship Him forever
He will never change 
Lift up hands to heaven
Surrender up in praise
Highest adoration to the King

Worthy of my praise forever
Worthy of my praise forever 
Jesus Lord of Lords 
Worthy of my praise forever 
Worthy of my praise forever 
Jesus King of Kings 
Worthy of my praise forever 
Worthy of my praise forever 

Jesus Lamb of God 
Every day
I'll lift His name
In praise

My Heavenly Father

Leave a reply 
I once had a Father on earth
Who I barely knew at all
He left us when I was young
And He hardly ever called

We would get a gift at Christmas
And a visit here and there
But through time I grew bitter
And didn’t even care.

The anger inside grew mighty
As I reached my teenage years
I got into things angered my mom
And had her often in tears

I could not find my way through life
I struggled just to survive
The time had to come to turn around
Or I might take my life

Then a friend from a long time ago
Came and told me a story I knew
But He told it in such a different way
I listened and heard the truth

I have a heavenly Father 
Who loves me very much
A heavenly Father up above
Who came my heart to touch

He gave His own son
To die in my place
And covered my sin
With amazing grace 
	
His mercy is greater 
Than all my shame
He’ll live in my heart
And call me by name

And one day he’ll come
And take me home
To a life everlasting
Around His throne

I love my heavenly Father
He takes care of all my needs
My heavenly Father
He’ll always be there for me
