Hallelujah, He’s Alive

Leave a reply 
A knock at the door
Who could it be?
This early morning
As we hid in fear
A voice cries out
It’s Mary, frantic
The tomb is open
He is not there!
He met me in the garden
He has risen indeed
Just as He said
He will come to you!
We run quickly to see
Inside, just a towel
Wrapped and neatly folded
No sign of Jesus.
Who rolled the stone away?
Who got past the guards?
What did they do with His body?
How can this be?
We returned to the house
More devastated then before
How can this be?
is He really risen?
Then he appeared
Shining and alive
Scars in His hands and feet
No doubt it was Jesus
We bowed and worshiped
He said I have risen
Just as I said
And now I will be with you always
Hallelujah – He has Risen
Hallelujah – He’s alive
Hallelujah – He is with us
He’ll never leave my side
Hallelujah – I’m forgiven
Hallelujah – I’m set free
Hallelujah – Christ is risen
And sent His Spirit to me

What Now?

Leave a reply 
Thursday night was great
As we sat down for a meal
Shared laughter and stories
Enjoyed one another’s company.
Then He broke the bread
As he mildly said
This is my body – take and eat
And he took the cup
And said drink it up
This is my blood shed for you
How can this be?
What does it mean?
A new covenant He brings?
Then we left the room to go and pray
A place where we went day to day
In the darkness of night we walked
And talked of higher purpose
And of love and devotion.
At the garden he prayed
But we could not stay awake
Three times He begged us to pray.
Then soldiers came with torches
They took Him away violently
They pushed us aside like flies
We were stunned, hurt, and confused.
Quickly they judged Him guilty
Quickly they cried Crucify Him
Quickly they beat Him, scarred Him, bruised Him
They made Him carry His cross – such a heavy burden
They nailed Him to it
He cried out, the sky darkened
And then He died.
Gone.
Gone.
What now?
What do I do now?
Where do I go?
What can I say?
In 18 short hours my life is all changed.
What good can come from this?

He Is Always There

Leave a reply 
In the silent night, He is there
In the midst of thunder, He is there
In the cold north wind, He is there
In the darkest cave, He is there
In the loneliest dungeon
In the lion’s den
In the fiery furnace
He is always there
On the threshing floor
On the mountaintop
On the gathering clouds
He is always there
He is in the burnging bush
He is in the fire by night
He is in the cloud by day
He is always there
When trouble comes.  When none stands with you
When darkness is all about.  He is right there beside you
Bow your head.  Fall to your knees in His presence
Let Him lift you up.  Let Him be your strength
He will always be with you
He will never leave you
He is right there beside you
He is always there

All For His Glory

Leave a reply 
The mountains bow down
The seas wave
The trees lift their arms
All for His glory

The birds sing their song
The lion roars
The ants build their kingdoms
All for His glory

The sun rises majestically
The moon reflects the light
The stars shine brightly in the dark
All for His glory

All of creation shows His handiwork
All creatures sing His praises
All that have breath praise Him
All for His glory

So should I
I should sing His praises
I should do His will
I should tell others of His love
All for His glory

Declare His mighty works
Tell of His excellent love to us
Shout out in worship to His name
All for His glory

This is what I was designed to do
This is why He made me in my mother’s womb
This is why he gave me breath
To give Him glory
So glorify His name
Shout it from the housetops
Display His wonderful love to others
That they also may know
His glory!

I See His Glory

Leave a reply 
When I see an awesome sunrise
Clouds painted red, orange, gold
Bright blue sky
Sunbeams streaming through space
I see His Glory

When I see a squirrel play
Picking up his food
Chasing round a tree
jumping branch to branch
I see His Glory

When I see a child cry
Lungs full of air
Sound emitting forth
Attentive ears of his mother hearing
I see His Glory

When I see the wind blow
Whistling through the trees
Birds gliding effortlessly
Leaves flowing freely
I see His Glory

Just open your eye
Your ears
Your nose
See His Glory in all around you
And never doubt
He’s there for you.

It Was All For You

Leave a reply 
It was all for you
When He came to this earth 
As a babe on a manger

It was all for you
When He taught of God's love
And His marvelous kingdom

It was all for you.
When he healed the sick
And caused the lame to walk

It was all for you
When He bestowed His peace
And His joy ran free

It was all for you
When he raised the dead
And opened blinded eyes

It was all for you
When He was beaten and mocked
And He carried that cross

It was all for you
The nails in His Hands
The thorns on His brow
The spear in His side
They were all for you
When he gave up the ghost
And died on the cross

It was all for you
He didn't come for Himself
To be honored and praised
He didn't come just to be
A worldly King
He came for you and me
He didn't seek to be honored
And praised among men
But to die a horrible death
He didn't die as the world would think He did
But He gave up His life for you.
Then He rose again
Leaving death behind
And even that was done for you
So you could one day walk
In that heavenly home
That He has reserved for you.

More Than Worthy

Leave a reply 
He is worthy of our praise
He is worthy of our wonder
He is worthy of our reverence
He is worthy of all honor
For He, the Lord, has set us free
He has pulled us up out of the miry clay
And set our feet on the rock to stay
He has opened our blinded eyes
So that we may see the light
The Lord is great, and awesome in all His ways
He causes me to be at peace in His arms
And He lifts me up when I am down
He places His spirit within me
To guide me and teach me His ways
He gives me wings as an eagle
To soar above the trials of life
He opens my heart to hear
His wonderful words of life
He is an awesome, most Holy God
I will lift His name on high
I will declare His goodness to all I meet
I will give glory to Him wherever I go
For He is worthy, more than worth

He Is With Me All The Time

Leave a reply 
He is with me all the time
Through my darkest days
And my longest nights.
In my deepest sorrow
Or fullest Joy

He is with me all the time
He is with me all the time
When I am in a crowd or all alone
When I/m full of hope or I lose my faith
He is with me all the time

Not a day goes by
Not a moment will pass
When His loving hand
Does not hold me.
Not an hour or minute
That He does not guide me
Not a second
I am not in His thoughts.
Because He loves me

He never wants to leave my side.
He always wants to hold me
And whisper of His love in my ear
He is with me all the time
Comforting me
Keeping me from harm
Helping me go
Guiding me along
He is with me all the time.
