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

 

Love Inescapable

Hard times hit us all
Even happy people fell
Even we have days that cause us harm
But when we get real low
We know just where to go
Back to our Father’s loving arms
He holds His arms out wide
He’s ever at my side
He’s there to pick me up when I fall down
And if I bruise my soul
He heals me ’til I’m whole
And sets my feet on solid ground
He loves me
More than anything
He loves me
So amazing
He loves me
Even when my love grows cold
He loves me
Through my troubled days
He loves me
When I’ve lost my way
He loves me
I cannot escape His love
His grace will cover me
Whenever I’m in need
His blessings come in every size and shape
His mercy overflows
My selfish, prideful soul
And helps those things to quietly escape
His sweet perfection slides
Into this heart of mine
Without me even knowing it’s His hand
And then one day I see
His humility in me
And I realize that this is what He planned
He loves me
He fills me with joy
He loves me
His peace is employed
He loves me
More than I can ever know
He loves me
I will sing His prsise
He loves me
I’ll worship His sweet name
He loves me
I cannot escape His love

 

Again

Leave a reply
Today the Lord had mercy on me
He kept away the enemy
And reminded me that I’m set free
Again
Today the Lord has blessed me much
All day I felt His spirits touch
His presence was around so much
Again
Today His grace filled me with peace
He gave my soul a sweet release
All day I felt calm and at ease
Again
Again and again He’s there for me
He always meets me at me need
He listens to my prayerful pleas
Again, and again, and again
Today He flooded me with love
As vast as all the stars above
And I can know that it will come
Again
Again His mercy will be mine
Again His blessing He’ll assign
Again He’ll give me grace each time
Again
But high above all these great things
The greatest gift that He does bring
Is His great love, of that I’ll sing

 

Again, and again and again

High Above

Leave a reply
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me
He sends His mercy to my side
Each time I trip and fall
Such mercy is too much for me
I don’t deserve it all
His grace pours blessing in my life
That overwhelms my soul
I can’t contain the gratitude
That He has made me whole
But greatest of the gifts He shows
Is His great love for me
He gave His life upon a cross
That day at Calvary
This love is so amazing
So wonderful and strong
That every moment I’m awake
I sing my worship song
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me

True Worship

Leave a reply

Sometimes Hallelujah does it

Sometimes Praise the Lord

But I find worship not just words

It takes in so much more

 

Jesus said to feed the poor

And help all those in need

This command is just as strong

As praying on our knees

 

He asked us His grace to show

To all we see each day

Yet often when that grace should show

We turn and walk away

 

Jesus said forgive them all

Our enemies and friends

But we hold grudges endlessly

And waste in bitterness

 

When will we learn that kind and gentle

Is our Savors hope?

When will we learn our highest aim

Is the lowest road?

 

When will we learn humility

Is His wish for us?

When will we learn His Spirit’s voice

And in Him put our trust?

 

So come on church lets rise and sing

With voices raised up high

And let’s be servants every time

A need should come on by

Favor Undeserved

You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence
I will worship your sweet name
All the mercy you give
Freely into me, Lord
I do not deserve your love
Mercy that does pardon
All of my transgression
Mercy from your throne above
Then you pour your grace out
Favor undeserved, Lord
Freely you bestow your gifts
I can’t begin to measure
The blessings your grace brings me
Every day they help me live
Finally your love comes
Overwhelms my spirit
That you’d love a wretch like me
I am, oh, so thankful
You would look on me Lord
To wash away my sin and set me free
And soon you will came back
To take me home with thee
And I will praise your name
Through all eternity
You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence
I will worship your sweet name

I lift my praise to you

In all I say and do

I lift my arms to you

I long to worship you

For you alone are worthy of my praise

 

You give me breath each day

You’ll never leave my side

From you I cannot hide

 

So I will worship you

In everything I do

I’ll give you all my praise

And lift your holy name

I will give my all

To glorify you Lord

You the only one

whom I will adore

It sets my mind at ease

You flood me with your joy­­

It makes me want to soar

The hope you give to me

Just makes me want to breath

And your love tops it all

The greatest love of all

 

I praise you for the love

You give me from above

I don’t deserve your grace

You give it anyway

Your mercy flows so free

For all eternity

So I will always praise

Lord, I come to you this morning
With a very heavy heart
I need your Spirits comfort
But I’m not sure where to start
So many things are going on
Throughout our troubled land
I need to just come talk to you
And pray you’ll understand
So many people died
In a senseless tragedy
One man filled with hate
Brings terror to our streets
We cannot understand this rage
Or what would make it stop
The only thing I know to do is pray
So I will pray.
Two candidates are running
For the leader of our land
The greatest country in the world
Is going to take a stand
Why are these two left
Who have so many flaws
I know my duty is to choose
So the only thing I know to do is pray
So I will pray.
I see the moral fabric
Of our nation running wild
Men and women doing things
That should not be allowed
Children facing chaos
In the bathrooms of their school
I’m having trouble with it all
So the only thing I know to do is pray
So I will pray
I will humble myself before you, Lord
Pray with all my heart and soul
Seek your face with every breath I take
And turn from all my wicked ways
I will humble myself before you, Lord
Pray with all my heart and soul
Seek your face with every breath I take
And turn from all my wicked ways
For you tell me in your word
If I do these things
You will hear my prayer
And forgive our sins
And heal our land.
Let the church rise
Let the church rise
Let the church rise
On their knees
And pray

Closer

Leave a reply

I want to be closer.  Closer to your side

I want to be nearer.  Never let me hide

I want to be purer.  As I walk through life

I want to be yours.  In you I will abide

 

There is never a time you will leave my side

But I may wander away

When I do I can rest assured you abide

In my heart each and every day

 

You promised you’ll never leave or forsake me

Even if I should mess up

When I find myself far from where I should be

You come and fill my cup

 

When I cannot hide from the trials I face

I just want to walk away

But you come and guide me to a peaceful place

Where I can bow and pray

 

These are the reasons I trust in you

Every promise I know is true

You will be with me my whole life through

Jesus, my Lord
