Have You Seen the Lord?

2 Replies

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

 

There was that beggar who asked you for bread

You walked on by, hanging your head

You had the money to spare him a dime

But you did not want to take the time

 

You passed by a lame man trying to walk

Your spirit said help him, but the flesh just balked

You watched as he fell and tried to get up

But you did not want to stay and get stuck

 

Then there’s that girl who asked you the time

She said she was late, but you drove on by

You were going her way with plenty of room

But you were afraid she would do harm to you

 

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

 

Jesus said even when I do it for them

It is the same as I’d done it for Him

If I’d look in their eyes, I’d see my Lord

As He asks me to help His floundering child

 

When will I learn to reach out in faith

And help those in need when they pass by my way

God showed me His mercy when I was so lost

Now I must reach out and help His dear cause

 

Every day we’d see the Lord if we’d look

Every day we can do what he says in His book

Every day we can show grace to meet needs

Every day we must reach out and believe

 

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

No Mistake

When God called me I wondered

If there was some mistake

I was just a sinner

Far away from grace

But then I met my Savior

He washed away my sin

And now I serve the Lord of Lords

This changes everything

 

He fills me with His Spirit

His peace and joy abound

His love is overwhelming

My soul found solid ground

I’ve learned that He knows all

And there are no mistakes

So If He calls to you today

Just trust His love and grace

My Past Has Passed

2 Replies

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

Grace is Greater

2 Replies

I don’t know why He loves me, but He does

I don’t know why He saved me, but He did

He gave up all he had and left His throne above

To show His grace and mercy were enough

 

I don’t deserve His favor, but He gives

I don’t deserve His blessing, yet it rains

He treats me like His son who has finally come home

And tells me I will never be alone

 

His love is greater.

His love is deeper

His love is purer.

Than I have ever found

His grace is greater.

His grace is deeper

His grace is purer.

His mercy will abound

And when the final role is called

And my name is heard out loud

I will see Him as I cross the pearly gates

 

Now I know that by His stripes I’m healed

I know that He delivers, and sets me free

When trials come my way I know His loving hand

Will always guide me to His perfect plan

 

Now I know His power is so vast

He tells me He’s my strength, and it will last

I can depend on Him no matter what I face

To keep me in His sweet amazing grace

 

His love is greater.

His love is deeper

His love is purer.

Than I have ever found

His grace is greater.

His grace is deeper

His grave is purer

His mercy will abound

And when the final role is called

And my name is heard out loud

I will see Him as I cross the pearly gates

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

Get Busy

“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”

 

Christ Alone

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.
