If it’s kindness you seek, here’s Jesus
There’s no better friend than Him
He’ll hold your hand
And give you a plan
And He’ll take away your sin

If it’s joy that you need, here’s Jesus
His joy is abundant and free
He’ll lift you up 
He’ll fill your cup
With blessings beyond all your dreams

­­

If it’s peace that you lack, here’s Jesus

He’ll wipe out your doubts and fears

He’ll carry you through

The storms that may brew

And settle you heart through the years

 

Jesus is here

Right by your side

Walking with you every day

So be of good cheer

And in Him abide

His presence will show you the way

 

If it’s love you desire, here’s Jesus

His love is a treasure most pure

It dwells deep inside

And carries my life

Through anything I must endure

 

His mercy and grace are abundant

Amazing beyond all our dreams

I cannot repay

These gifts that He gave

When He sacrificed all on that tree

 

I owe Him my life and my purpose

The least I can do is give praise

For all that He’s done

My victory won

And now every day, here’s Jesus

Two Great Gifts

Leave a reply

I’m awaiting His mercy this morning
With His sweet, gentle grace by its side
I know that I’ll need them throughout this day
As I live out my everyday life

I try to walk worthy of His name
Always doing the best that I can
This flesh that I live in still wants to be free
To do things that are not in His plan

When I find myself stepping the wrong way
And I’m tempted to keep going there
His mercy steps in to turn me around
And His grace says forgiveness is here

When my words become hurtful to others
Because of my passion and pride
I turn to His grace to help me explain
That this battle is deep down inside
And that only by grace can I conquer
The pride that I have in my life
So I ask them for mercy whenever my words
Are raising their level of strife

When I stumble back into my old ways
And the urge to keep going is strong
His mercy and grace rush in like a flood
To keep me from going along
And if I insist I’ll go deeper
Back into my past life of sin
He reminds me His grace and His mercy
Are there when I want to return

Oh wonderful is His mercy
How amazing is His grace
He did on the cross
At such a great loss
To put these great gifts in place

I can always depend on His mercy
And His grace always covers me
He died for my sin
And then rose again
So I’d be with a Him eternally

Mercy and Grace are amazing
And they’re gifts that He gives away
Let me never forget
To do my best
To give mercy and grace every day

All Day

There’s never a moment
Throughout the day
That I do not praise His name
For He is the one
Who gives me my breath
So He’s worthy of all my praise

When I rise in the morning
I sing out a song
Of honor and glory to Him
For He kept me through
The dark of the night
And buried His peace deep within

When I’m ready to go
And I sit down to eat
The very first meal of the day
I thank Him for all
He provides for me
As He guides me along my way

Through the day as I work
I give highest praise
For I have been blessed with a task
As people come by me
I take time to pray
Is this one the one I should ask?

Maybe He needs a Savior today
Maybe She needs a friend
Maybe you’ve placed them in my path
So I’ll be a witness to them
Speak to me Lord and give me the words
The words that only you know
That I might speak right unto their heart
And give them your love so it shows

My work day now over
I settle back home
And I praise Him for what He has done
If I said just one word
That brought comfort or peace
That person has already won

As I lay my head down
At the end of the day
I give praise that the Lord led me through
And I ask Him to give me
A good nights rest
So tomorrow will bring forth His fruit.

The Flow

There is a fountain of life

That flows from Calvary’s tree

It comes from God above

And washes over me

But when it hits my heart

It’s not for me to hold

I have an obligation

That others must be told

 

There is a river of hope

That tells me heaven’s my home

There is no doubt of where

I’ll rest when life is o’er

This hope should flow through me

To others that I know

For I am just a vehicle

To bring friends into the fold

 

There is a stream of joy

That flows throughout my heart

It reminds me of the blessings­­­

He does to me impart

These blessings are for everyone

Who call upon His name

So I must share this joy

By giving Him all praise

 

There is a flood of peace

That keeps me safe and warm

It flows from knowing God

Is always on the throne

My friends all need this peace

In this chaotic world

So I must let it flow through me

To touch and make them whole

 

And last there is His love

That flows eternally

It reaches out to everyone

No matter what they be

I must tell all I come to know

Of this great love divine

So the love, joy, peace, hope, life He brings

Will not just stay as mine

When I thirst I need a fountain

When I am sad I need more joy

When I’m in turmoil peace will comfort me

When I have doubts I turn to faith

When I seem lost I can’t lose hope

When I feel down, love is what I need

 

There are times my life gets dry and hard

I just wallow in the dust

It is in these times the living water flows

You’re my source for strength in battle

As you quench my thirsting soul

I can feel the Holy Spirit in me grow

 

When life brings situations

That bring sadness to my life

I can count on you for overwhelming joy

You’re my source for inspiration

When the burden gets to hard

I can count on you to make my spirit soar

 

In days of great confusion

When I don’t know where to turn

I know that your sweet peace will comfort me

You’re my source for calm assurance

That all things will turn out good

And I’ll rest in the abundance of your peace

 

There are times my doubts take over

And I wonder where to turn

Then I read your word and faith is lifted high

You’re my source for truth and wisdom

In the times I trust my flesh

You renew the faith that gives eternal life

 

In this world of greed and power

It is easy to get turned

From the hope you have instilled within my heart

You’re my source for all the future

I can know heaven’s my home

And forever my abode will not depart

 

Your love is so amazing

Your love is so divine

It sought me out when I was full of sin

You’re me source for loving others

The way that you loved me

Help me, Lord, to keep your love within

He Watches Over Me

Leave a reply

He watches over me

Takes care of all my needs

I can depend on Him

He’s always at my side

When in Him I abide

His love will always win

 

When the storms of life do gather

And the wind and waves seem tall

I can trust in Him to never let me fall

And when I need a fortress

‘Cause the battle is too hard

He becomes my refuge from it all

 

When all my friends desert me

Because I live according to His word

I know that He’s a friend who’ll stand by me

And when it seems I’m all alone

He’ll come and let me know

He’s right there with His arms upholding me

 

When my body lets me down

And pain of sickness has set in

I know He is my healer and my strength

It’s now that I must trust Him most

To heal me in His time

The stripes upon His back provided health

 

No matter what the circumstance

Or what my life will bring

Each day I need to rise from sleep and sing

His praises should adorn my lips

And worship guide my tongue

As I give Him thanks for everything

 

I thank you Lord, you’re watching over me

I thank you Lord, you won’t abandon me

I lift my highest praise

To you my hands are raised

I think you Lord for saving me.

The Requirement

Leave a reply

What does the Lord require of me?

How can I know His will for me?

What does He ask that I should see?

Lord, help me know your plan

 

First we must do the things that are just

So that others will know we are men of trust

For our principles we will not adjust

Just to win one more friend or two.

 

Then we show mercy to all we meet

For Jesus showed mercy to us in our need

We must pass on His mercy to all that we greet

To be what He wants us to be

 

And last but not least, the most difficult part

We must walk with a humble and lowly heart

Putting others before self in all regards

So His light will shine through me

 

These words are not new, but from ages past

The old prophet Amos did speak them first

And for these three things we all should thirst.

As this is the will of God for me.

 

I pray you will heed these words this day

Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly I pray

For these are the words that the prophet did say

Are requirements of our God.

Heal Our Land

Leave a reply

I sit amidst the chaos

Of a lost and dying world

And I wonder when they’ll come to realize

That the softening of morals

And the sin they now condone

Is truly a reproach in God’s eyes

 

But I also wonder when the church

Will rise up and start to pray

That this world will turn away from all their sin

For it is our duty and our task

To know what the Bible says

And to pray from very deep down within

 

I must first humble myself

And know that I am no better

We are all the same in the sight of God

And if I lift my neighbor
As I would like to be lifted

My prayers will soon be heard in heaven above

 

And once I humble myself I pray

For the lost soul deep within

Everyone who has followed the devils’ lies

I do not judge nor condemn

But pray the light will shine through

And open the sinner’s eyes

 

Then I seek God’s grace

To know how to pray

For the Holy Spirit will give me the words

I must go to Him

To pray righteously

And not have my own thoughts be heard

 

And last but not least

I put my sin aside

If God is to answer my prayer

For If I regard

Sin in my heart

The Lord will not hear what I say

 

After all this

His promise is true

He says He’ll forgive our sin

And then, only then

Will our country revive

For He says He will heal our land

Jesus, You Are

Leave a reply

Jesus, what a wonder

You put the stars in place

Separated earth and sky

Set the sun in space

Brought up food from fertile ground

Spoke and animals abound

Jesus, what a wonder you are

 

Jesus, your incredible

Came to earth a babe

Left your throne in glory

In a manger lay

Shepherds bowed in worship

Wise men brought great gifts

Jesus, how incredible you are

 

Jesus, your amazing

Ministered three years

Walked among the people

Joy flowed out in tears

Lowly men would hear Him

Learned men turned from Him

Jesus, how amazing you are

 

Jesus, you are mercy

Died upon the cross

Gave your life so freely

Paid such a big cost

Ransomed me from all my sin

Then you brought me peace within

Jesus, you are mercy to me

 

In all the ways of time and space

There’s no one who can take your place

I long to be in your embrace

Safe from any harm

 

So I will praise your mighty name

You ransomed me, Your name I’ll raise

For all the marvels you have made

Your worth is more than life
