Great And Wondrous Love

Leave a reply

How can God begin to know a little worm like me
How can God begin to hear the prayers that I speak
How can God begin to plan the future that I seek
When all the universe is Hs domain

How can God begin to bring the healing that I need
How can God begin to cause deliverance in me
How can God begin to send His Spirit to guide me
When all creation cries to Him each day

The answer to these questions
Is found inside His word
It’s really very simple
But to logic it’s absurd
That the God of all creation
Would care about just one
And hear his every cry
Because of His great love

Yes, it’s His love
His great and wondrous love
That brings Him to do all these things for us
It’s His love
His great and wondrous love
That brought Him down to earth and to a cross

It’s so hard to understand it
But by faith we take His hand
As He carries us through trials
And He shows us His great plan

I’m in awe of His great mercy
I’m so glad for His great grace
I will trust in Him forever
And one day I’ll see Hs face

Yes, it’s His love
His great and wondrous love
That brings Him to do all these things for us
It’s His love
His great and wondrous love
That brought Him down to earth and to a cross

The Lord Knows

When you’re feeling sick
And you’re stuck in your bed
You pray but the answer is slow
You wonder if God
Has heard your request
I can honestly say the Lord knows

When trouble surrounds you
And you see no way out
You pray but the answer is slow
As the trouble gets worse
You question His love
I am confident that the Lord knows

He knows every pain, every hurt, every stain
He knows every doubt, every tear
He knows every sorrow and every heartache
He knows every doubt, every fear

Hold onto His promise
Don’t ever let go
Because no matter what comes your way
The Lord knows

When doubt settles in
And you cannot feel God
You pray but the answer is slow
Time passes by you
The days and then weeks
You wonder if God really knows

These are the times
When our faith is tested
This trial will help us to grow
We must trust in Him
And endure to the end
You can be sure the Lord knows

He knows every pain, every hurt, every stain
He knows every doubt, every tear
He knows every sorrow and every heartache
He knows every doubt, every fear

Hold onto His promise
Don’t ever let go
Because no matter what comes your way
The Lord knows

I believe in you Lord
I believe in your sovereign grace
There is nothing to hard you cannot do
I believe in you Lord
I believe in your mercy
Every time I have need you pull me through

I’ve had troubles and I’ve had sorrows
You were always there for me
In my deepest darkest hours

In the times that evil sought me
I just ran into your arms
There you held me ever closely
Kept me safe from fear and harm

I believe in you Lord
I believe you’re my resting place
When I’m tired and alone you’re there for me
I believe in you Lord
I believe you’re my stronghold
When I’m weak and afraid you’ll comfort me

You have healed me every time
I’ve had days that doubt abounded
Then your Spirit spoke new life

Every time I find myself falling to far
You come and pick me up with your strong arm
Every time I can’t find faith
You come with your sweet grace
And bring me back to shelter with your love

I believe in you Lord
I believe in your sovereign grace
There is nothing to hard you cannot do
I believe in you Lord
I believe in your mercy
Every time I have need you pull me through

Keeping Him Around

The last 10 months has been quite a journey
Through the battle we face with cancer
Two stem cell transplants on top of chemo
Has helped to give us some answers

I have to admit that my body is saying
That this has been quite overwhelming
I have also been blessed by a wife at my side
Who has truly been quite amazing

But the biggest thing I have going for me
Is my faith in an Almighty God
Who comforts me day after day with His love
I just know He will not let me down

I have been overwhelmed by the strength He has given
When my strength has hit the ground
I know that my health will one day be whole
As long as I keep Him around

I Am Your Father

When life takes a turn
And hard times arise
It’s easy to doubt God is near
If you will be silent
And wait just a bit
There’s a word that God wants you to hear

I am your Father, faithful and true
I’ll always be here when you call
Do not be fearful I am with you
I’ll pick you up when you fall

I am your Father, holy and just
My grace is sufficient for you
When you feel lost and you can’t find your way
I’ll always guide you through

I am your Father, loving and kind
I listen each time that you pray
I’ll send an answer when my time is right
There will never be a delay

I lift up my voice
To the Father above
And thank Him for all He has done
The calm reassurance
He puts in my heart
Tells me that the victory’s won

Heavenly Father, I give you praise
I lift up my voice to your name
I worship you from the depths of my heart
You’ve lifted me up by your grace

Limitless

I thought about God’s love today
How He washed my sins away
He guides me through my every day
What a God I serve

Then I thought of His great grace
That He would come and take my place
Upon that cross in such disgrace
What a God i serve
His mercy is unending
His love is limitless
His grace is overwhelming and so free
His peace is so assuring
His joy is so immense
And all these blessings
He bestows on me
I thought about His mercy
How He overlooked my frailty
And used me in His ministry
What a God I serve
One day soon He’ll come again
Riding on the clouds
He’ll take us home to be with Him
Where we will sing and shout
I’ll lift His praise up every day
For all He’s done for me
I’ll tell of His great love
To everyone I meet
His mercy is unending
His love is limitless
His grace is overwhelming and so free
His peace is so assuring
His joy is so immense
And all these blessings
He bestows on me

He Never Stops Providing

God has been so good to me
And I just don’t know why
Every day His mercy grows
His blessings make me cry

I cry for joy, not sorrow
At what He does for me
He never stops providing
The many things I need

Right now I need a healing
I know He’s bringing that
As slowly and most surely
My strength is coming back

I needed transportation
As of yet I cannot drive
A friend calls on the phone
And says he will provide

My angel of a wife is here
She watches over me
She makes sure my medicines
Are where they need to be

She does all of the housework
She cooks me food to eat
She is amazing, that’s for sure
She’s God’s great gift to me

Even in this trial
When some would turn from God
I run to Him and praise Him
Because He reigns above

He is my rock and fortress
My strength and hiding place
This cancer is defeated
As I lift my hands in praise

I worship you sweet Jesus
Because you are my Lord
And I will sing forever
It’s you that adore

Why Am I So Surprised?

Why am I so surprised
When healing starts to come
My feet are feeling better
My toes are much less numb
I can feel floor beneath mike
And it feels like solid ground
I’m amazed it’s feeling better
Than it has for many months

Why am I so surprised
When peace comes in the storm
I can’t explain the reason
That I feel no alarm
The waves and wind are higher
And the feeling is not warm
Yet I am sitting calmly
In the center of this storm

His promises come calling
At every time of day
And when we least expect it
They come and overtake
Our healing our deliverance
Our peace and joy and hope
Are all just waiting for us
To take us by surprise

Why am I so surprised
When joy just bubbles forth
I just was lost in sorrow
And was feeling deep remorse
Then an overwhelming feeling
Of unexpected joy
Came up from deep within me
And made my heart rejoice

I shouldn’t be surprised
That His promise comes to pass
But I am
I shouldn’t be surprised
When He answers all my prayers
But I am
His promises are true
His mercy has no end
His grace is so amazing
His love is not pretend

His promises come calling
At every time of day
And when we least expect it
They come and overtake
Our healing our deliverance
Our peace and joy and hope
Are all just waiting for us
To take us by surprise

Fallen Tribe

Leave a reply

It’s really quite ridiculous
That sometimes I give in
To what my flesh desires
And I let the devil win

The fight is so uneven
With God right by my side
The power of the universe
Against a fallen tribe

I really need to walk with God
Throughout all of my days
He will keep me going right
By His amazing grace
