No Mistake

When God called me I wondered

If there was some mistake

I was just a sinner

Far away from grace

But then I met my Savior

He washed away my sin

And now I serve the Lord of Lords

This changes everything

 

He fills me with His Spirit

His peace and joy abound

His love is overwhelming

My soul found solid ground

I’ve learned that He knows all

And there are no mistakes

So If He calls to you today

Just trust His love and grace

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Mistake

My Past Has Passed

Your love is more than I can fathom
Your hope is way beyond compare
I can’t imagine why you chose to save me
When all I did was mock your name

When I fall into sin you send mercy 
When trials come around you lend grace
I see your hand surround me when I wander
And gently lead me back to your embrace

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I have been blessed by the joy that you give

It overwhelms me each day that I live

Your peace is a river that flows slow and free

I am so thankful that you have blessed me

 

When sickness of pain should enter my life

I know that you’ll heal me in your chosen time

And if I should lose someone real close to me

I know that your spirit will comfort my grief

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I can’t praise you enough for what you have done

Or for what you are going to do

So I yield control to your marvelous plan

And I lift my worship to you

Go

I heard God Calling

In a voice sweet and low

He said “Child, you are ready

It’s time that you go

You’ve studied and prayed

That the harvest would come

So go out today

And touch everyone.

 

Hope for despair

Joy for their sorrow

Peace in the storms

Through all their tomorrows

 

Deliver the captive

Give sight to the blind

Bind up the demons

And cast them aside

 

Cleansing for lepers

Words for the dumb

Strength for their weakness

Heal everyone

 

Faith for the doubters

Forgive all their sin

Calm down their minds

Bring solace within

 

On top of all that

Show mercy each day

Give them my love

Teach them my ways

 

And treat everyone

With unrestrained grace

Never be harsh

Fill them with praise

 

And when you have done

All the things I have said

Then people will listen

And souls will be saved”

Forever and Amen

I remember when I found the love of Jesus

He came and washed my sins away

And ever since that day

I have found a way

To give Him all the praise that I can give

 

His mercy covers me when I am falling

His grace is so amazing and so free

I took Him as my Lord

It’s Him who I adore

So let’s all lift our praise in one accord

 

Worthy is the Lord, worthy is the Lord

Worthy is the Lord our God

Faithful to the end

He’s our blessed friend

Worthy is the Lord our God

 

Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord

Holy is the Lord our God

His majesty supreme

So wonderful to me­­

Holy is the Lord our God

 

Each day I lift my praise to heaven

I just can’t worship Him enough

I’ll praise all may days

With all my words of praise

I’ll shout it from the mountaintop

 

Worthy is the Lord, worthy is the Lord

Worthy is the Lord our God

Faithful to the end

He’s our blessed friend

Worthy is the Lord our God

 

Jesus is the Lord, Jesus is the Lord

Jesus is He Lord our God

He’s our eternal friend

Forever and amen

Jesus is the Lord our God

Tell Them

Today the Lord was calling in a voice so sweet and low

He said “Son, there’s something special that everyone should know.

It’s really not a secret.  It’s written in my book.

But there are way too many who never take a look.”

 

I asked the Lord how I could help to get to everyone

This world is so enormous.  I’d never get it done

He said “My child it’s simple, just start with that one there

And one by one you will surely make this world aware.

 

So I said “I’ll do it Lord, I’ll take your message out

I’ll speak it in the marketplace.  I’ll travel all about.

Just let me know the words that I should share today”

And then I heard His gentle voice say

 

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love

Tell them I love them, and I want them here above

I sent my Son to take their place

They’re covered by my endless grace

Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

 

I said “My Lord, I know it’s true that you have love for me

This world is very skeptical because of what they see

The violence and suff’ring seem to get worse every day

There’s many who blame you for this – then what should I say.”

 

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love

Tell them I love them, and I want them here above

I sent my Son to take their place

They’re covered by my endless grace

Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

 

And then He whispered in my ear that many just don’t know

Because we’ve turned our churches into places for a show

The truth that they must make the choice of heaven or of hell

Is something that few preachers are still willing to tell

 

He said “I need the laborers to get out in the field

The harvest is awaiting, and they need someone real

To tell them of this love I have for every single one

I’ve done all that I can do – I sent my only Son”

 

Okay, I got the message Lord, the gospel is enough

I’ll go out into all the world and tell them of your love

That Jesus died to take our sins and wash them all away

That message is more powerful than any words I say

 

I’ll tell them that you love them with an everlasting love

I’ll tell them that you love them, and you want them up above

You sent your Son to take their place

They’re covered by your endless grace

I’ll tell them that you love them, and that should be enough”

Grace is Greater

I don’t know why He loves me, but He does

I don’t know why He saved me, but He did

He gave up all he had and left His throne above

To show His grace and mercy were enough

 

I don’t deserve His favor, but He gives

I don’t deserve His blessing, yet it rains

He treats me like His son who has finally come home

And tells me I will never be alone

 

His love is greater.

His love is deeper

His love is purer.

Than I have ever found

His grace is greater.

His grace is deeper

His grace is purer.

His mercy will abound

And when the final role is called

And my name is heard out loud

I will see Him as I cross the pearly gates

 

Now I know that by His stripes I’m healed

I know that He delivers, and sets me free

When trials come my way I know His loving hand

Will always guide me to His perfect plan

 

Now I know His power is so vast

He tells me He’s my strength, and it will last

I can depend on Him no matter what I face

To keep me in His sweet amazing grace

 

His love is greater.

His love is deeper

His love is purer.

Than I have ever found

His grace is greater.

His grace is deeper

His grave is purer

His mercy will abound

And when the final role is called

And my name is heard out loud

I will see Him as I cross the pearly gates

All Through The Day

When I open my eyes every morning

I rejoice that I’m still alive

And I give praise to Jesus my Savior

Who has saved me and gave me new life

 

When  I rise from my bed every morning

I feel that I am so blessed

That I still have the strength to be mobile

And to rise up after my rest

 

When I eat that good meal in the morning

I praise God for all He gives

For He’s the provider of all I have

And His love is why I exist

 

All through the day I praise Him

I worship His arms which embrace

For He opens my eyes to see Him

And He gives His amazing grace

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Eye

Praise the Lord all of my days

I will lift up His name

His wonderful name

Christ Alone

Awaken, my soul, and sing
To Jesus Christ my King
My voice will raise
To sing His praise
Let loud hosannas ring

Arise, my spirit, arise
Let my worship fill the skies
I will proclaim
His mighty name
Until my spirit dies

For He alone is worthy of the praises that I bring
He alone deserves to have my worship offering
Only Jesus will receive the words that I will sing
Christ alone.  Yes Christ alone.

Come alive, my heart, come alive                                                                                                                                                                                                             As I lift up my voice on high                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I’ll worship the King                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 His praises I’ll bring                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     As I offer to Him my life

Open my eyes to see your face                                                                                                                                                                                                             Open my ears to hear                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Open my heart to receive your sweet grace                                                                                                                                                                                                   So that I might be free to draw near

Christ alone.  Yes Christ alone
