My Past Has Passed

Leave a reply 
Your love is more than I can fathom
Your hope is way beyond compare
I can't imagine why you chose to save me
When all I did was mock your name

When I fall into sin you send mercy 
When trials come around you lend grace
I see your hand surround me when I wander
And gently lead me back to your embrace

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what's best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I have been blessed by the joy that you give
It overwhelms me each day that I live
Your peace is a river that flows slow and free
I am so thankful that you have blessed me

When sickness of pain should enter my life
I know that you’ll heal me in your chosen time
And if I should lose someone real close to me
I know that your spirit will comfort my grief

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what's best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I can’t praise you enough for what you have done
Or for what you are going to do
So I yield control to your marvelous plan
And I lift my worship to you

Tell Them

Leave a reply 

Today the Lord was calling in a voice so sweet and low
He said “Son, there’s something special that everyone should know.
It’s really not a secret.  It’s written in my book.
But there are way too many who never take a look.”

I asked the Lord how I could help to get to everyone
This world is so enormous.  I’d never get it done
He said “My child it’s simple, just start with that one there
And one by one you will surely make this world aware.

So I said “I’ll do it Lord, I’ll take your message out
I’ll speak it in the marketplace.  I’ll travel all about.
Just let me know the words that I should share today”
And then I heard His gentle voice say

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love
Tell them I love them, and I want them here above
I sent my Son to take their place
They’re covered by my endless grace
Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

I said “My Lord, I know it’s true that you have love for me
This world is very skeptical because of what they see
The violence and suff’ring seem to get worse every day
There’s many who blame you for this – then what should I say.”

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love
Tell them I love them, and I want them here above
I sent my Son to take their place
They’re covered by my endless grace
Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

And then He whispered in my ear that many just don’t know
Because we’ve turned our churches into places for a show
The truth that they must make the choice of heaven or of hell
Is something that few preachers are still willing to tell

He said “I need the laborers to get out in the field
The harvest is awaiting, and they need someone real
To tell them of this love I have for every single one
I’ve done all that I can do – I sent my only Son”

Okay, I got the message Lord, the gospel is enough
I’ll go out into all the world and tell them of your love
That Jesus died to take our sins and wash them all away
That message is more powerful than any words I say

I’ll tell them that you love them with an everlasting love
I’ll tell them that you love them, and you want them up above
You sent your Son to take their place
They’re covered by your endless grace
I’ll tell them that you love them, and that should be enough”

Wondrous God

Leave a reply 
Can I get a witness for our God most high
Who set the world in motion from beyond the sky
He made this lovely planet just for you and I
Oh what a wondrous God we serve

Wonderful He is to me
Wondrous God we serve
Sent His Son to Calvary
His grace I don’t deserve
Now He watches over me
His blessings are reserved
I can’t worship Him enough
Wondrous God we serve

Can I get a witness for the Son who came
To die a beggar’s death to take my sin and shame
Then He rose to heaven.  He’s alive again
Oh what a wondrous God we serve

Marvelous He is to me
Wondrous God we serve
Mercy flowing wide and free
None that I deserve
His great love surrounds me
Even when I swerve
I can’t worship Him enough
Wondrous God we serve

Can I get a witness for the Holy Ghost
Who guides us every day if the Son we chose
He guides us to the truth, keeps us on our toes
Oh what a wondrous God we serve

I will lift His name on high
I’ll shout it out to all the sky
And share it with the passers-by
What a wondrous God 
I’ll live for Him all of my days
And do my best to show His ways
To all who I may reach each day
What a wondrous God

Wonderful He is to me
Wondrous God we serve
Sent His Son to Calvary
His grace I don’t deserve
Now He watches over me
His blessings are reserved
I can’t worship Him enough
Wondrous God we serve

Magnificent Mercy

Leave a reply 
I vowed to you Lord that I would obey
And promised to do everything you say
As I go through this life day after day 
But then I slipped and fell

You came to me and lifted me up
You dusted me off and offered your cup
You said start again and never give up
Your forgiven all over again

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that's more than enough

I try day by day to be worthy
But I succumb to my frailties 
Gossip or anger or what my eyes see 
Drop me from pure to my knees

But you never speak condemnation 
You offer me your consolation 
And show me your endless compassion
As you take my hand once again

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that's more than enough

You always forgive when I stumble
You always forgive my mistakes
You're always right there
To show me you care
And you'll do whatever it takes
Yes, you'll do whatever it takes

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that's more than enough

All Through The Day

Leave a reply 
I rejoice that I'm still alive
And I give praise to Jesus my Savior
Who has saved me and gave me new life

When I rise from my bed every morning
I feel that I am so blessed
That I still have the strength to be mobile
And to rise up after my rest

When I eat that good meal in the morning
I praise God for all He gives
For He's the provider of all I have
And His love is why I exist

All through the day I praise Him
I worship His arms which embrace
For He opens my eyes to see Him
And He gives His amazing grace

Songs From Above

Leave a reply 
I sing my songs to Jesus.  Love songs just for Him
He purchased my salvation, so to Him my praise I bring
Songs of joy and gladness are in my heart today
He leads me by His truth and daily lights my way

I love the book of hymns that were written long ago
Amazing Grace, He’s Alive, It is Well With My Soul
I also like the new music so abundant out today
There’s a rising up in worship that I hope won’t go away

But more than anything I love the songs he gives to me
In middle of the night He opens up my eyes to sing
I sit down very calmly and he gives me every word
Then I put the rhythm to it, and His story is now heard

I’ll give you some examples of the words to these new songs
The melody you’ll have to guess, as a video I don’t have
I hope these words will touch your lives as they have touched mine
If nothing else I hope your blessed by the nice poetic rhyme

Song #1  I Want to Thank You Lord

I want to thank you, Lord, for your mercy in my life
I want to thank you Lord, for your great sacrifice
You have given me your all
Help me give my all to you
I want to thank you, Lord  (This part is sung three times)

You deserve the highest praise
You deserve the highest praise
You deserve the highest praise
My heart can give (This part is sung twice, then close with the first part)

Song #2  We Lift You Up

(softly and soulfully)
As we come into your presence
And we turn our hearts to you
We out aside our care if earthly things
We have come to seek your kingdom
And we long for righteousness
Precious Lord, we want to glorify your name

We lift you up, we lift you up
We lift you up, Oh Lord, and praise your holy name
We lift you up, we lift you up
Come and draw us near to you, we lift you up (back to top first time through)

(with much enthusiasm)
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord (Back to we lift you up, with gusto!)

There’s a few examples of the songs He’s given me
There are hundreds more He’s blessed me with
I hope He never stops waking me in dead of night
To share with me these love songs I can give


What Can I Offer You

What can I offer you Lord of my life?
All that I have is my praise sacrifice.
No matter the mood, or whatever the pain
I’ll still take the time to lift up your name 

Praise the Lord.  He is worthy of praise
Praise the Lord all of my days
I will lift up His name
His wonderful name
Praise the Lord

How can I thank you oh Lord of my days?
You have given me all that I have by your grace.
I can only give thanks with the fruit of my lips
And I offer my life in thanks for your gifts

Thank you Lord.  You are worthy of praise
Thank you Lord all of my days
I will lift up His name
His wonderful name
Thank you Lord

You are the one that I long for
You are the one I adore
You are the one who saved me
And I’ll praise your name evermore

What can I do for you, Lord of all time?
How can I show that your love still abides?
All I can do is tell others around me
That your love is theirs if they’ll only believe

Praise the Lord.  He is worthy of praise
Praise the Lord all of my days
I will lift up His name
His wonderful name
Praise the Lord

The Greatest Love Song

Leave a reply 
I don’t think I will ever see
A love song start this way
When He gave up all of heavens praise
To come here as a babe

I don’t think I will ever know
A child who was so meek
He worked those years in Fathers shop
When He knew who He would be

Then the love song picks up tempo
As He’s baptized with such grace
The Holy Spirit declares His name
And He starts to show His face

Then He teaches for the next 3 years
The people flock to see Him
He brings healing and deliverance
And sets His fire within

But the love song takes a bitter tone
As the leaders plot against Him
And with the help of one of His own
They take Him and arrest Him

The music is so melancholy
As the crowd cries crucify
And they beat Him, mock Him, scourge Him
And nail Him up so high

But this is where the love song shows
His deepest love for me
As He cries out from the cross “Forgive”
And from sin He sets me free

And even though he bows His head
And dies at Calvary
The love song doesn’t end right there
One last stanza’s meant for me

For in three days He rose again
His spirit won’t depart
His love will keep Him at our side
As He lives inside our heart

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus
Oh the beauty of His plan
He has given all for me
Now He holds me in His hand

Oh the precious song He’s written
With His life so full of love
Tis the greatest love song written
Coming down from heaven above






New Salvation Song

Leave a reply 
I can’t believe He loved me
Before I knew His Name
I can’t believe He’d save me
And take away my shame
I can’t believe He’d heal me
When I was sick or lame
But He did.  Yes, He did

I can’t believe He’d give me joy
To replace my sorry soul
I can’t believe the peace He left
When He made me whole
I can’t believe the hope inside
He shows me where I’ll go
But He did.  Yes, He did

He did it when He died for me
Upon the cross at Calvary
His sacrifice has set me free
From what my life had been

When I first heard His life’s story
I told myself how can this be
That anyone would die for me
And take away my sin

So I chose I would not believe
What the Bible said was free
That Jesus paid the price for me
And asked me to come in

Now I believe that all those things
I list above are what He brings
Into my life when I can sing
The new salvation song

So come with me and take my hand
I’ll take you to the promised land
And there you’ll find His loving plan
And you too will believe.

Christ Alone

Leave a reply 

Awaken, my soul, and sing 
To Jesus Christ my King
My voice will raise 
To sing His praise
Let loud hosannas ring
Arise, my spirit, arise 
Let my worship fill the skies 
I will proclaim 
His mighty name
Until my spirit dies
For He alone is worthy of the praises that I bring
He alone deserves to have my worship offering 
Only Jesus will receive the words that I will sing
Christ alone.  Yes Christ alone.
Come alive, my heart, come alive                                                                                    As I lift up my voice on high                                                                                                  l worship the King                                                                                                                 His praises I'll bring                                                                                                          As I offer to Him my life
Open my eyes to see your face                                                                                   Open my ears to hear                                                                                                  Open my heart to receive your sweet grace                                                                    So that I might be free to draw near
For He alone is worthy of the praises that I bring
He alone deserves to have my worship offering 
Only Jesus will receive the words that I will sing
Christ alone.  Yes Christ alone.
