Grace is Greater

His grace is greater
Than all my troubles
He watches o’er me
When I fall down

His grace is greater
Than all my weakness
He keeps me floating
When I could drown

His grace is greater
Than all my struggles
He walks beside me
When I’m alone

His grace is greater
Than my temptations
He speaks so softly
And gives me hope

Just enough for today
And not for tomorrow
Yesterday’s grace is gone
Day after day
Like the manna from heaven
I have to depend on Him

Grace, grace
Great grace
Greater than all my life could need
Grace, grace
God’s grace
Grace that is greater than anything

My King Forever

He is my all

My everything

He is the Lord

The King of Kings

He is my Rock

So now I sing

Praises to His name

 

He is the Lamb

Who gave His life

He came to be

My sacrifice

He rose to give

Eternal Life

I will praise His name

 

All glory and honor and power

Be unto His name

He is my King forever

He’ll always be the same

I lift His name

His wonderful name

I lift His name

His glorious name

I lift His name

The mighty name of Jesus, Jesus

 

He sits in heaven

He watches o‘er me

He sends the angels

To set guard by me

He will return

And take me home

To a mansion He prepared

 

I can no longer contain the praises of my lips

I have to shout from the mountains the love He has to give

So now I will sing at the top of my voice

In Jesus name I‘ll forever rejoice

I’ll sing His praise as long as I shall live

 

All glory and honor and power

Be unto His name

He is my King forever

He’ll always be the same

I lift His name

His wonderful name

I lift His name

His glorious name

I lift His name

The mighty name of Jesus, Jesus

Trust In The Lord

In a moment 
Life can change
In oh so many ways 
How do you handle
These unforeseen times
That can really mess up your days

Maybe it’s sickness 
Or an accident 
That lands you days on your bed
As you try to get well
And the days drift on by
What kind of thought go through your head?

Maybe there’s something
That decides to break down 
And will cost way too much to replace
Your savings are low
And you live check to check
What fears are you likely to face?

Maybe it’s a friend

You’ve had for many years

And suddenly they turn their back on you

Their words are harsh and hurtful

And they don’t seem to care

 

All these situations

And many, many more

Can cause is to imagine life’s not fair

And it becomes so easy

To just give up our hope

Because quite often there’s no one to share

 

When I get in these trials

And my faith seems on the line

I do the same thing every single time

I open up my Bible

To my very favorite verse

And In follow what it says line for line

 

Trust in the Lord

With all your heart

And lean not to your own understanding

In all your ways

Acknowledge Him

And He will direct your paths

 

When you believe this

And live it each day

There’s nothing that will shake your faith

Because He is a God

Who honors His word

And He loves when we walk in His ways

 

Trust in the Lord

With all your heart

And lean not to your own understanding

In all your ways

Acknowledge Him

And He will direct your paths

You’re the Answer

Hold me, Lord.

Hold me close

In your everlastings arms

Let me feel

Your tender love

As you keep me from all harm

 

Teach me Lord

Of your ways

Help me walk where your light leads

Keep me always

On the pathway

To the plans you have for me

 

You’re my ever loving Father

My Lord and King of Kings

You’re the answer to my questions

You’re my everything

So I will lift my voice up high

And with it praises sing

To my Savior and my healer

Jesus Christ my King

 

Have mercy, Lord

On my poor soul

For I am still a sinner on my own

I’m so glad

For your grace

Which has washed me white as snow

 

Cleanse my mind

Cleanse my heart

From the things I sometimes think

Give me new

Thoughts so pure

Transform and renew again

 

You’re my ever loving Father

My Lord and King of Kings

You’re the answer to my questions

You’re my everything

So I will lift my voice up high

And with it praises sing

To my Savior and my healer

Jesus Christ my King

 

Praise, glory and honor

To you my precious Lord

Hallelujah in the heavens

It is Jesus we adore

Praise, glory and honor

To you my precious Lord

Hallelujah in the heavens

It is Jesus we adore

 

My Heavenly Father

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

The Master Painter

I sit and watch

As sunset approaches

Scattered clouds above the western horizon

 

A ribbon of gold touches the bottom clouds

He spreads upward

Around the dark clouds

Bright and shimmering

Outlining and silhouetting

 

Suddenly a blaze of brilliant gold

Rays peek through

To touch a higher cloud with gold

 

Sun sinks deeper

Red starts to color he lower clouds

As Gold starts to relinquish its power

 

Red, orange, pink, yellow

An incessant palate

Changing minute to minute

Reaching across the sky

Until it reaches above me

Behind me

 

Then slowly the colors fade

From west to east

Into gray

As the last rays

Leave the clouds

 

Oh. What a thrill

To watch the Master painter

At work

The Songs of Heaven

Isaiah saw the seraphims

Flying ‘round the throne

In the year that King Uzziah died

They were shouting highest praise

As the flew with all their might

And the posts and doors moved as they cried

 

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord of hosts:

The whole earth is full of His glory

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord of hosts:

The whole earth is full of His glory

 

John saw four beasts in Heaven

Appear before the throne

The likes of which were clear for Him to see

One like a Lion, one a calf,

Then a man and last a flying eagle

Singing night and day these words of praise

 

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God Almighty

Which was, and is, and is to come

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God Almighty

Which was, and is, and is to come

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

 

John saw four and twenty seats

Gathered ‘round the throne

Four and twenty elders came along

Clothed in white they gathered

Crowns of gold upon their heads

They bowed before the throne and sang their song

 

Thou art worthy, oh Lord

To receive glory and honor and power;

For thou hast created all things,

And for thy pleasure they are and were created

 

Then he saw the four beasts gather

With the elders ‘round the throne

As the lamb of God appeared in majesty

They were looking for the one

Who could open up the book

And only He could bear the task, so they start to sing

 

Thou art worthy to take the book,

And to open the seals thereof:

For thou wast slain,

And hast redeemed us to God by thy blood

Out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:

And we shall reign on the earth.

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

 

Then I saw the angels gather

With the beasts and elders there

Around the Lamb who sat upon the throne

And the number of them grew

Ten thousand times ten thousand

As they sang aloud the praises of my Lord

 

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

To receive power, and riches, and wisdom,

And strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

 

And every creature up in heaven,

And here upon the earth,

And even those who dwell under the earth,

And all the creatures of the sea,

Lift up their voice on high,

Their praises to our Lord and King

 

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,

Be unto Him that sits upon the throne,

And unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,

Be unto Him that sits upon the throne,

And unto the Lamb for ever and ever

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

More Than Enough

My God is mercy
More than enough
To wipe away all of my sin
He gave His own Son
To die in my place
So I could have peace deep within

My God is grace
Amazing and True
He places His Spirit in me
Each day He guides me
Into His truth
As I grow to what I’m made to be

He’s more than enough

More than enough

More than enough for me

And when I lay down

To sleep, I have found

His peace washes over me

 

My God is love

Compassion abounds

He loved me before I knew Him

And each day he sends

This wonderful love

Into my heart once again

 

My God is holy

Purer than gold

His holiness Is what I yearn

He calls me to be

As holy as He

He is patient and kind as I learn

 

He’s more than enough

More than enough

More than enough for me

And when I lay down

To sleep, I have found

His peace washes over me

 

My God is faithful

Day after day

He’s always right there by my side

When I call on Him

He hears every word

And answers when it’s His time

 

All of these things

My God is to me

He says that’s how I ought to be

I must spread the word

Of my wonderful God

To all that He brings close to me

Sharing Grace

My hometown is real pretty

With streets set up in squares

And it’s easy to walk through

With sidewalks everywhere

 

I kius happened to be walking

Down a sidewalk yesterday

When I meet a man that limped

And was obviously in pain

 

I asked if I could pray for Him

That God would Heal his leg

He told me that would be great

So I took His hand and prayed

 

I saw a tear come down his face

As I finished up my words

He said thank you so  very much

I know your prayer was heard

 

We went out on our merry way

A smile broke on our face

A joy filled up my peaceful heart

I was glad I shared His grace

Heaven’s Song

It’s a song for the ages

Sung in heaven above

The angels sing it boldly

Telling of God’s love

 

The melody is beautiful

The chorus fills the skies

Cherubim and seraphim

Sing it as they fly

 

His love is so amazing

His love is so divine

It reaches down from heaven

And touches you and I
