I Need You, Lord

Leave a reply

I need you, Lord

In the morning
When I awake
Before the sun comes up
I need you

You give me air to breath
You give the light for sight
You give the sounds of spring
As bird’s sing
I need you, Lord

I need you, Lord

I the midst of the day
When the world is all around
Trouble presents itself
Temptation lurks in corners
I need you

You light my path with your word
You remind me of your great love
You keep me safe in the storm
In your arms
I need you, Lord

I need you, Lord

At the end of the day
When sleep is knocking
My tired body needs rest
From all the day’s events
I need you

You calm my soul so I can sleep
You reassure me of your grace
You lay me down with your peace
And mercy
I need you, Lord

Not a moment goes by
A second or minute
That I do not need you, Lord
What a wonderful thing
To know you are near
Whenever I need you, Lord

Surviving The Tempest

Leave a reply

I’ll weather the storm
Because you own the weather
You send the wind and the rain
So when dark clouds roll
And life seems too dreary
I’ll know you control the day

I’ll survive the tempest
For you own the sea
The wind and waves obey
So when I’m adrift
And I think I might drown
I’ll know you will guide my way

There’s nothing can come my way
That you do not rule the day
I trust you alone
Through all of life’s storms
I know you will guide my way

I’ll get through this trial
For you are my guide
You urge me to keep going on
So when hard times come
And I’m ready to quit
I know that you’ve just begun

There’s no situation
No storm and no sea
That can ever topple this ship
For you hold me up
When I think I’ll fall
I daily depend on your grip

There’s nothing can come my way
That you do not rule the day
I trust you alone
Through all of life’s storms
I know you will guide my way

Wonderful You Are

I lift my heart
I lift my hands
I lift my eyes
In praise to you

I lift my voice
I lift my words
I lift my song
In praise to you

I lift your name
Above all names
I lift my praise
And worship you
Jesus, wonderful you are

Wonderful, oh so wonderful
Jesus Lamb of God
Came to save the world
Wonderful, you are wonderful
What a friend I have in you

Extraordinary

What exactly does it mean
To be called ordinary
In this world of so much change
We all seem quite contrary

In the name of politics
We push diversity
And tolerance for anything
Just seems to be the key

For me I would just like to be
A simple man by trade
One who follows Bible ways
Giving praise to Jesus name

When hard times come as the always do
And people look to me
I hope they see the power of God
Extraordinary

And they can known without a doubt
That when I pray for them
The power of God will touch their lives
Because I follow Him

I love God.  He loves me

All my sins He does erase
And one day I shall see His face
He loves me and gives His grace

Out Of My Ways

Leave a reply

When I’m full of myself
There’s no room for you, Lord
No room for wisdom, no room for joy
When I‘m full of myself
I can’t fill myself with you

When I’m lost in myself
There’s no way to get out
No path to take, no plan to tout
When I’m lost in myself
I can’t find my way to you

I want to fill myself with you
Filled with your word and your Spirit
I want to lose myself in you
Lost in your love
Peace from above
Lifting my praise to you

When I’m guiding myself
My path is obscure
Where I’ll end up isn’t sure
When I’m guiding myself
My path strays away from you

I want to follow in your ways
Keeping your word with my whole heart
I want to know you are my guide
Follow your plan
Holding your hand
Lifting my praise to you

Keep me out of myself and into you
Out of my ways all of my days
Out of my pride, in you I’ll hide
Only in you will my life abide

I want to fill myself with you
Filled with your word and your Spirit
I want to lose myself in you
Lost in your love
Peace from above
Lifting my praise to you

What An Amazing Story

Leave a reply

I listened to the Lord when He spoke to me
Knew that He loved me abundantly
And I knew what He spoke would come to be
At a time He had already planned

He told me that I should tell everyone
Of the work on the cross that he had done
I should tell of the Father who sent His Son
Because of His love for the world

What an amazing story
What an amazing friend
He asks us to share
And make them aware
Of His love that will last ‘til the end

I asked Him for boldness so I could speak
To all those who lovingly I would seek
And tell them the story of His great deed
And hopefully they would be saved

He told me don’t worry about the results
My job was to tell them the truth that’s all
The Spirit would be there to give them a call
The word would not return void

What an amazing story
What an amazing friend
He asks us to share
And make them aware
Of His love that will last ‘til the end
 
I’ll tell them I’ll tell them of your great love
I’ll praise you forever for all you have done
Until all my friends have been saved and won
To your precious holy way

What an amazing story
What an amazing friend
He asks us to share
And make them aware
Of His love that will last ‘til the end

Where Will You Gather?

Leave a reply

Some people get caught up in things
Like soap operas and TV shows
Their lives revolve around a set
Of characters they think they know

Others are consumed by work
They toil all day and night it seems
Their goal is to achieve the top
But often they get caught in schemes

I prefer to immerse myself
In the Word of God, where life abounds
As I look through His words each day
I hear just joyful, peaceful sounds

To God I’ll gather ’round each day
For that is where I find my rest
If you need more from life today
Open the Word and find God’s best.
