Amazing Love

Leave a reply

I came running to my Lord today
I had Jesus on my mind
He wrapped His arms around me
And He said “My son, your mine”

A calming reassurance
Flooded through me from above
As He held me close beside Him
I could feel His awesome love

Love that overlooks my faults
Love that conquers all
Love that washes sin away
Love that hears my call

His love is amazing
It is with me everyday
I’m not sure what I would do
Without His love today

I found that I was lost again
And couldn’t find my way
Somehow, I’d walked away from Him
So I knelt down to pray

I asked Him to draw close to me
And soon I felt Him near
His tenderness surrounded me
And wiped out all my fear

Love that wipes away my fears
Love that calms my heart
Love that tells me I’m okay
Love that never parts

His love is amazing
It’s always there for me
Even when I’ve lost my way
He fills my deepest need

This time I stayed real close to Him
I did not want to leave
He told me that He loved me
And He’d always be with me

Now I must go tell others
About His wondrous love
So they can know the Savior too
And be blessed by God above

Love that took Him to the cross
Love that gave His life
Love that washed away my sin
Love that came to die

His love is amazing
He gave His life for me
And rose again so I could be
With Him eternally

I’ll shout about this wondrous love
As long as I have breath
For He has given everything
From birth until His death

I will sing His praises
Everywhere I go
For He is Lord of all the earth
And everyone should know

His love is amazing
His love conquers sin
His love is for everyone
His love always wins

His love gives and gives some more
Until the day is done
No one can out give His love
No, not anyone

It’s hard to explain

This joy I have inside

It makes my disappointments

Run away and hide

When sorrow tries to come

I tell it to subside

Because the joy I have from Jesus

Will constantly abide

 

It’s hard to comprehend

This peace I have attained

When trouble comes my way

It never causes pain

When fear tries to surround me

I tell it to refrain

Because the peace I have from Jesus

Will constantly remain

 

What a Savior

What a friend

Jesus is to me

Giving Hope

Giving mercy

He is all I need

Answering my prayers

Always guiding me

Wonderful Messiah

Jesus is to me

 

Impossible to know

The depth of His great love

He showers it upon me

From heaven up above

It overflows my spirit

There is more than enough

I’m so glad He gives me

His unfailing love

 

And then there is His greatest gift

His Amazing grace

It forgives me when I falter

And lifts me when I praise

I’ll look to Him each morning

In hopes too see His face

I’ll never turn away from

His amazing grace

 

What a Savior

What a friend

Jesus is to me

Giving Hope

Giving mercy

He is all I need

Answering my prayers

Always guiding me

Wonderful Messiah

Jesus is to me

Thank You, Jesus

I sit and wonder why, Lord
Do people not choose thee
When they hear you’ve paid the price
From sin to set them free

Down here they feel so happy
And they think it’s the best
But if they just choose you today.
They would be richly blessed

In this life they party
Thinking all of life’s a game
If you would fill them with your joy
They’d never be the same

And when the party’s over
And the happiness is gone
They sit their all alone and wonder
When some peace will come

But I can tell them truly
That the peace that Jesus gives
Will permeate  their soul each day
As long as they shall live

You ask me how I know these things
So I’ll tell you here and now
‘Twas not that long ago my friend
That I refused to bow

I loved the party life at night
But hated waking up
My mind was filled with torment
My thoughts were so corrupt

It took at least 10 times
For me to head His call
But when I did, He kept His word
And gave to me His all

He blesses me each day
With His presence,  oh so sweet
He fills my heart with joy
Happiness just can’t compete

His peace is so remarkable
It soothes me every day
And His love is unforgettable
He walks along my way

But most of all His mercy
Is always reaching me
And His grace is so amazing
As it works to keep me free

You see it really is no contest
What the best life is
So why not turn your life around
And make your heart be His.

Help Me, Lord

I’m guilty

Guilty as anyone

And I must confess right now

 

I’m guilty

Of judging people from what I perceive

When they are different in

Speech

Size

Shape

Color

Hairstyle

Ethnicity

Mannerisms

 

I see different

And I make an assessment

And it usually them less than myself

Oh, foolish pride

That would put me above others

 

Help me, Lord

Help to see past their

Speech

Size

Shape

Color

Hairstyle

Ethnicity

Mannerisms

 

Help me to see their heart

Help me to see them as equal,

Or even better

Than myself

Because most probably are

 

Help me not to judge

But to love

Unconditionally

Everyone I meet

 

Help me, Lord

Put aside preconceived prejudices

And notions

 

Help me, Lord

To see the heart

Great, Great Love

One day every knee will bow

In heaven and in earth

And every tongue will confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord

 

It matters not what they believed

While living on this earth

They must acknowledge He is Lord

For all the world to see

 

And those who served Him here below

Will then a mansion gain

But those who chose another road

A fire awaits them

 

As for me I’ll sing His praise

As long as I have breath

For He’s the one who gave His life

So I’d be free from sin

 

Oh, the great, great love of God

Who sent His only Son

To die and take my sin away

And rose to give me life

 

Oh the great. Great love of God

Who looks down from above

And helps me every day I live

To grow in grace and truth

 

I’ll lift my praise Hosanna

Glory to the King

Highest Hallelujahs

Praise His mighty name

 

Praise and adoration

To Jesus Christ my Lord

Worthy of my highest praise

Now and evermore.

Every time I think about your grace, Lord

And how your blessings fall on me

I look up to the sky

A tear forms in my eye

As I lift my hands in praise to thee

 

Every time I think about your mercy

And the fact that you forgave all of my sin

My heart leaps in my chest

And my soul becomes so blessed

My worship comes from way down deep within

 

You are high above all others

You are greater than I know

You are more than mighty

You are more than worthy

Of the praise that I can show

 

So I will lift my voice and sing out

My worship song to all the earth

I’ll shout it all around

The streets of my small town

Until they all have heard the word

 

Every time I think about the hope, Lord

That you have put within my soul

I raise my eyes to heaven

Where soon I will be dwelling

You made it my eternal home

 

Every time I think about your love, Lord

And how you gave your life to set me free

I lift my voice in praise

To your mighty, glorious name

Because before I knew you, you loved me

 

You are high above all others

You are greater than I know

You are more than mighty

You are more than worthy

Of the praise that I can show

 

So I will lift my voice and sing out

My worship song to all the earth

I’ll shout it all around

The streets of my small town

Until they all have heard the word

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

What is Your Passion

2 Replies

Our world has turned love

Into lust

And it is called passion

But passion is so much more

More than lust

More than emotion

More than a desire or need

Passion is what you pour your heart into

Your life into

Your soul  into

Your mind into

Your strength into

The Word says

Love the Lord your God

with all your heart

And all your mind

And all your soul

And all your strength

In other words

Be passionate about Jesus
