The Present

Leave a reply
Today is the day
Not yesterday
Today is the day
To praise the Lord
Today is the day
Not next week
Not last week
Today is the day
To worship Him
He is the one
Who gives us the present
He is the one
Who gives breath every day
He is the one
Who gives rythm to heart beats
Only my God
Can show me the way
Today is a present
All wrapped up in hope
His peace calms my spirit
His joy overflows
This wonderful present
Is mine for the asking
It comes every moment
From Jesus my King
He is the one
That showers with mercy
He is the one
Whose love reigns divine
He is the one
Who gives grace amazing
Only my God
Will always be mine
Today is the day
Today is the present
Today is my gift
From Jesus my Lord
Today I will praise Him
Today I will worship
Today is my chance
To give thanks to my Lord.

Now I Know

I didn’t know how much He loved me
Didn’t know how much He cared
When I used to curse and mock His name
I didn’t realize His passion
To fellowship with me
I just would not take the time to change
Then I heard the ancient story
Of a King who came to die
And I bowed down on my knees and cried
Now I know
You love me so
You gave your life
So I could thrive
I’m aware
How much you care
I give my all
To heed your call
Now I know
If you just cannot see His mercy
‘Cause your life is such a mess
Let me tell you I have felt the same way
I was living in a frenzy
I was lost in misery
And I didn’t understand His grace
But one day He whispered softly
My son, I love you so
If you listen He will call to you
Don’t you know
I love you so
I gave my life
So you could thrive
Be aware
How much I care
Give your all
To heed my call
Don’t you know
It doesn’t take a genius
To see His great love
It only takes a moment
To open up your heart
He will bring His mercy
Into your life today
If you’ll just take the time
To say
Now I know
You love me so
You gave your life
So I could thrive
I’m aware
How much you care
I give my all
To heed your call
Now I know

Hold Me Fast

Leave a reply

I’m holding onto Jesus

And He’s holding onto me

And I’m never going to let Him go

Because I know He’ll always

Bring out the best in me

And I know He’ll always love me so

 

Sometimes I can get lazy

My path can go astray

I find myself a long way from His side

But every time I wander

He helps me find my way

And He’s still there with arms held open wide

 

Sometimes my faith can waiver

And my fear can rise up strong

And the doubt inside can cause me some alarm

But every time I stumble

He comes right to my aid

And gathers me into His loving arms

 

But when I am the strongest

And my faith is waxing strong

There’s nothing like His presence in my life

I sing about His glory

I praise Him endlessly

And I worship Him for Hs great sacrifice

 

His promises are true

His love will never fail

His faith in me grows stronger every day

So I will hold on fast

To the love that He bestows

And He will hold me fast all the way

Near To You

Leave a reply
I want to walk with you
For miles and miles
Everyday, Lord
To be in your presence
And feel your sweet touch
I want to stay with you
Step by step
Never leave your side
Constantly abide
In your love
Everyday
I want to talk with you
For hours and hours
Everyday, Lord
To soak in your wisdom
And learn how to love
I want to hear your voice
Word by word
Never close my ears
Listen all the years
To your love
Everyday
Being with you
And hearing your voice
Is my hearts desire
My only choice
Every minute
I spend with you
Just draws me closer
To your side
Near to you
Near to you
Knowing your touch
Hearing your voice
Near to you
By your side
That’s where I’ll abide.

I Give Me To You

Leave a reply

How can I say thank you

For such an amazing gift

You gave your life so I could be set free

 

How can I repay you

For the love that you have shown

When you gave up your glory just for me.

 

There is now way to pay

There is nothing to do

But to offer up myself to you

 

I will now say thank you

For all you’ve done for me

I will lift my hands in praise

To you eternally

I will speak your truth

To everyone I know

This is my desire

But here is what I owe

 

I give you my all

All of myself

All that I do

All that I am

Everything I desire

I find in you

So here is my heart

I give me to you.

Make a Difference

Leave a reply

Let your light shine, Lord, shine on me.

Hold it before me so I can see

All the hurt in this world that I am in

So I can make a difference

 

Help me see sickness, and pray for health

Help me see poverty, and pray for wealth

Help me see suffering, and pray for peace

Help me see bandage, and beg release.

 

But more than just praying is what they need

Lord, help me put in just one little seed

Lord, give me the words that I need to say

To turn their lives to your sweet ways.

 

Help me to bind up the wounded soul

Help me give comfort to those that mourn

Help me give joy to the sad and weak

Help me show peace in each word speak

 

Then when they ask me just why I care

It gives me a chance that I can share

How the love of Jesus has changed my life

And how He make them feel more alive

 

Let your light shine, Lord, shine on me.

Hold it before me so I can see

All of the hurt in this world I’m in

So I can make a difference

Mercy Is All

Leave a reply
There are so many times
I know in my heart
His mercy is all that I need
From the most desperate days
To the oft sleepless nights
He mercy will cover me
When I’m sick in my bed
And a daze fills my head
His mercy is all that I need
Because no matter how long
It takes healing to come
His mercy will cover me
Oh mercy of God
So large and so free
There is none that can compare
To the marvelous trust
I can have in your love
Because your mercy is always there.
When I feel down and out
And I just want to shout
His mercy is all that I need
Because I know that He
Is right there with me
His mercy will cover me
When the enemies strong
And I don’t have a song
His mercy is all that I need
He’ll raise up His hand
And help me to stand
His mercy will cover me
I’ll trust in the Lord
With all my heart
And I won’t trust in those things I know
I’ll acknowledge Him
In all my ways
And He will make my paths known
Oh mercy of God
So large and so free
There is none that can compare
To the marvelous trust
I can have in your love
Because your mercy is always there.

With You, Lord

Leave a reply
I want to be with you, Lord
To dance around your throne
To praise your name forever
To make heaven my home
I want to be with you, Lord
To walk the streets of gold
To see those gone before me
To no more getting old
Yes, heaven will be wonderful
A lovely place to stay
But I won’t wait for heaven
To walk with you each day
Because you said you’re with me
And will never leave my side
I choose to walk with you, Lord
While I on earth abide
I am always with you, Lord
To weather every storm
To see me through my trials
To keep me from all harm
I am always with you, Lord
To guide me day by day
To teach me by your Spirit
To walk in all your ways
Your promises are true Lord
And if I walk thus way
When I come to deaths door
I’ll pass through heavens gates
So if you want a heav’nly home
Then make this your daily chore
Walk with Jesus here on earth
And heaven will be yours.

Closer

Leave a reply
Each passing moment
Brings me closer to you
Whether through trial
Or whether I’m blue
Because every time
I am feeling my worst
Your always there
To quench every thirst
Each passing moment
Brings more of your grace
When I can’t feel your touch
When I can’t see your face
I know that your near me
Only by faith
And that while I am waiting
Every tear you’ll erase.
Closer to you through the weakness in me
Closer to you when I bow on my knees
Closer to you when I can’t find my way
Lord draw me closer to you every day
Each passing moment
Brings mercies untold
You spare me from things
That would damage my soul
And fill me with hope
That will soon overflow
Because great is your love
For me.
Closer to you when I feel far away
Closer to you when I can’t stop and pray
Closer to you when my path is obscured
Lord draw me closer, please help me see you
Only through trials
When my faith is tried
Will you draw my closer
To your loving side
So Lord let the trials
Of life come way
So I may draw closer
To you every day.
