It’s Remarkable

Leave a reply

I wish I could tell you why He loves me
I have always been so unworthy
I’d try to explain why He set me free
From all my sin and shame

I wish I could tell you why He still cares
When so many times I’m entangled in snares
I stray from His side and get caught unawares
And find myself calling His name

Through all of my trials and all of the tests
He still walks beside me and gives me His rest
I wish I could find the words that say best
How much He does love us so

It’s remarkable
It’s unthinkable
That Jesus would love me so
So magnanimous
He is marvelous
His love reaches down so low
From heaven above to earth below
His love reaches me this I always know
Though I can’t explain it still it is true
That He loves me and He loves you

I can only tell you that it’s real my friend
That His love will stay with you until the end
He is there right beside you to help you win
The trials you face in this life

His love is much deeper than I can explain
So I just continue to give Him my praise
I can’t help but worship His wonderful name
All of the days of my life

It’s remarkable
It’s unthinkable
That Jesus would love me so
So magnanimous
He is marvelous
His love reaches down so low
From heaven above to earth below
His love reaches me this I always know
Though I can’t explain it still it is true
That He loves me and He loves you

Don’t Wiggle!

Leave a reply

First, I start to giggle
Then there is wiggle
As I see this word today to prompt us all
My belly starts to jiggle
As I start that silly giggle
Like a bowl of jello ready to devour

But as I give it thought
I realize it’s not
Such a funny word to laugh about
There’s one place I can’t jiggle
Or give a little wiggle
In the word of God I must be stout

You see there is no doubt
What Jesus was about
Love and mercy were His stock in trade
If we’re to follow Him
Then love for all must win
Our wiggling and jiggling must fade

Great And Wondrous Love

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

Thirty-eight Years Later

Leave a reply

With great anticipation
I awaited the day
That my love was going to come and take me home
The first part of my life
Was spent in Massachu
Now Iowa would be where I would roam

With great expectation
We drive those many miles
Knowing God was guiding all the way
Now thirty-eight years later
Our love is still alive
And life keeps getting better day by day

Oh, The Great, Great Love Of Jesus

2 Replies

Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Overwhelms me every day
And I find that I am trusting
In His mercy and His grace

When I think about His majesty
And How He reigns supreme
I can’t fathom why he gave His life
To save a wretch like me

Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Reaches out to touch my heart
And I find that I am resting
In the peace He does impart

When I think about His royalty
The King of Kings is He
I am awed that he would take the time
To walk beside of me

Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Fills me with a raging fire
Beckons me to tell all that I meet
They are His hearts desire

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

The Overflow

My life can be so simple
I’m just a normal guy
I often sit and wonder
And ask my own self why

Why would Christ die for me?
Why would He come to set me free?
Why would He love little old me?
Why oh why did He save me?

Then He shows me His great love
How exquisite it is
And He tells me it’s all mine
Now I belong to Him

And He blesses me each day
With so much I can’t contain
It overflows my life
And He fills me up again

My desire is that it flows
Out to you in words I write
May His love be known to all
As you read these words tonight

SPECIAL NOTE:  I will begin a study in Ephesians on my “Traveling with Paul” blog today.  My hope is to  post  every day.  Please join me by CLICKING HERE

This year I will praise Him
With all my heart and soul
I’ll lift my voice to heaven
To Jesus Christ our Lord

 This year I will love my neighbor
And those who are in need
I’ll ask the Lord for wisdom
And plant some gospel seeds
I am resolved to walk
Everyday as a light
My greatest desire is to see
Sinners saved from their plight
Lord help me be a witness
In everything I do
I am resolved to live
So that others will see you
This year I’m going to pray
With a fervent and faithful heart
Work down my list each day
Of those who have crossed my path
This year I will have mercy
On those who may do me wrong
I will extend your grace Lord
To all who may come along
When I see
Lives get changed
By your loving
Holy hand
I will lift up
My voice in thanks
And give you all the praise
I am resolved to walk
Everyday as a light
My greatest desire is to see
Sinners saved from their plight
Lord help me be a witness
In everything I do
I am resolved to live
So that others will see you

Days roll into nights
Nights roll into days
When I think of God
I’m constantly amazed
At the love that He has for me

Abundant stars at night
One star rules the day
hen I come to God
I give Him all my praise
For the grace that He shows to me

I will sing I will sing
Of His wondrous love
And the mercy and grace
That He shows to us
I will lift up my praise
All of my days
I will sing of His wondrous love

Time and time again
I hear the melody
When I come to God
I cannot help but weep
As His presence sweeps over me

When the day is done
And the sun is getting low
Then I come to God
His mercy overflows
As I lift my voice in praise

His beauty is sweet
He’s holy and just
His power is great
His wisdom is vast
His mercy unending
His grace evermore
His love knows no limits
It’s Him we adore

I will sing I will sing
Of His wondrous love
And the mercy and grace
That He shows to us
I will lift up my praise
All of my days
I will sing of His wondrous love
