I Have the Answer

Are you tired
Tired from life’s battles
Tired from inner struggles
Tired of financial stress
Tired of people saying they will help
And they don’t
Tired of people making promises
And they don’t
Tired of hearing their excuses
Tired of bickering and complaining
Tired of backbiting and gossip
Tired of being tired
I have an answer for you
His name is Jesus
He will pick you up when you fall down
He will carry you when you can’t go on
He will give you strength when you are weak
He will give you mercy and grace
He will only say good things to you
He will lift you up in His arms
His everlasting arms
And care for you as His own
Come to Jesus
He is your answer

Are you troubled
Troubled by the things of this world
Troubled by weather that doesn’t cooperate
Troubled by people coming against you
Telling lies about you
Cheating you
Stealing hope from you
Stealing peace from you
Stealing joy from you
Troubled by circumstances you can’t control
Troubled by shattered hopes and dreams
Troubled about being stuck in the same spot
Seeming to go nowhere
At a dead end in life it seems
Losing momentum to go forward
And drifting away from your own path
Are you troubled by trouble
I have an answer for you
His name is Jesus
He can calm the storm
He can stop the waves from coming against you
He can calm the wind from tossing you about
He has a plan for you
A good plan
A plan to give you an expected end
A plan for prosperity and good success
He will lead you beside still waters
He will lead you to green pastures
He will guide you by His Spirit
He will bring you out of the wilderness
Into a land flowing with milk and honey
Come to Jesus
He is your answer

Are you lonely
In a world full of people
All alone
No one seems to care
No one wants to help
No one sees your suffering
Hurting
Dying inside
All alone even when with someone
They don’t see you
They don’t hear your cry for help
They don’t answer when you need them
Plenty of Facebook friends
But no friends
No one to stand in the gap for you
No one who prays for you daily
No one who shows they really care
Are you all alone and lonely
I have an answer for you
His name is Jesus
He will never leave you
Or forsake you
He will come alongside and comfort you
He will fill your heart with joy and peace
He will talk with you in the dark of the night
He will be there when no one else will
He will be in your thoughts
He will be in your dreams
He will be at your work
He will be at your bedside
He will walk with you in the way
He will be with you when you rise up
He will be with you when you lie down
He will be with you when you take nourishment
He will always be there
To hear your prayers
He will not hide from you
He will not ignore you
He will not walk away from you’
He will always be right there
Come to Jesus
He is your answer

Headed to the Other Side

I love to sit and watch in the calm before the storm
In the distance lightning flashes as the thunder sounds alarm
I can smell the fragrance of the rain that fills the air so warm
And I know I am safe from harm

Suddenly the wind picks up as the storm clouds whirl around
The rain begins to strike the trees then pummel to the ground
The thunder and the lightning throughout the sky abound
Yet I know I am safe and sound

I’m headed to the other side safe in Jesus’ arms
I’m headed to the other side with overwhelming calm
His peace is all around me
Though storm and wind I see
He promised we’d go to the other side

I watch the storm pass over as the wind starts to abate
The clouds unfold above me like the opening of a gate
The blue sky and the sun appear as though they’re never late
Then a rainbow marks the sky as I wait

I’m headed to the other side safe in Jesus’ arms
I’m headed to the other side with overwhelming calm
His peace is all around me
Though storm and wind I see
He promised we’d go to the other side

I waited on His mercy
I waited in His grace
To get me through the storms
To bring me to this place
I’m on the other side
Safe within His arms
I’ll never leave my Lord
He keeps me from all harm

I’m headed to the other side safe in Jesus’ arms
I’m headed to the other side with overwhelming calm
His peace is all around me
Though storm and wind I see
He promised we’d go to the other side

Centered On Jesus

For some it is power and others seek fame
Some long for riches and many play games
Then there are those who make knowledge their aim
I’d rather seek after the Lord

Some find that drugs help them get through this life
Some use their strength to make others comply
Then there are those who can’t make up their mind
I’ll set me mind on the Lord

Centered on Jesus
Seeking His way
Knowing His truth
His words I obey
Mercy He gives me
Grace flows so free
I’m centered on Jesus
That’s where I will be

If you’re looking for me I’m not very far
Just find out where Jesus is I’ll be right there
Sitting beside Him and hearing His word
Learning His truth forevermore

Jesus has everything I’ll ever need
Jesus has wisdom to help me succeed
Jesus has promised that my life He’ll keep
My life is centered on Him

Centered on Jesus
Seeking His way
Knowing His truth
His words I obey
Mercy He gives me
Grace flows so free
I’m centered on Jesus
That’s where I will be

A Resounding Change

My ears are often funny|
In looks and sounds I fear
There is a constant ringing
That is often all I hear

I can’t wait to get to heaven
That ringing sound will change
To the titinnabulnation
Of the angel chorus praise

Holy holy holy
Great and powerful is He
Jesus Christ our mighty Savior
By His blood He set us free

Holy holy holy
To the Lamb upon the throne
Great in Majesty and Mercy
Our praise to Him alone

Abounding

Abounding in mercy
Forgiveness for me
My sins are gone
You set me free

Abounding in grace
Blessings for me
Pour down from heaven
Great gifts I receive

Jesus, my Jesus
You paid the price for me
Died on a cross for me
So I might live
Jesus my Jesus
You rose again for me
Hear my prayers constantly
Always you give

Abounding in joy
Bubbling in me
Even in hard times
My soul is happy

Abounding in peace
You left for me
Not like the world has
Your peace is real

Jesus, my Jesus
You paid the price for me
Died on a cross for me
So I might live
Jesus my Jesus
You rose again for me
Hear my prayers constantly
Always you give

Then there is your love
Your unfailing love
Flowing from heaven
Reaching my soul
Your love abounds
More than I can respond
It’s deeper and wider
And lasts all life long

Jesus, my Jesus
You paid the price for me
Died on a cross for me
So I might live
Jesus my Jesus
You rose again for me
Hear my prayers constantly
Always you give

 

He Sent His Son

There’s a song that I sing when I look back
At all He has done for me
It’s a song of great joy and assurance
That His grace and His mercy are free

This truth became true in my lifetime
When I confessed Jesus as Lord
I was worn out and tired of my troubles
When He told me I was adored

He sent His Son to live
He sent His Son to die
He sent His Son to be my sinless sacrifice
He sent His Son to rise
Beyond the cloudy skies
He sent His Son so I could have eternal life

You can have this salvation in your life
It’s not very far away
Just reach out and hold onto Jesus
Then you’ll find your life new everyday

He sent His Son to live
He sent His Son to die
He sent His Son to be my sinless sacrifice
He sent His Son to rise
Beyond the cloudy skies
He sent His Son so I could have eternal life

Through all your troubles
Through all your struggles
His love will see you through
Through all the storms
Through every harm
His peace and His joy will hold you

He sent His Son to live
He sent His Son to die
He sent His Son to be my sinless sacrifice
He sent His Son to rise
Beyond the cloudy skies
He sent His Son so I could have eternal life

Higher Still

I look up to the trees
Their lofty branches raised
A gentle breeze is blowing
The leaves give out a wave
So high and majestic
They give to God their praise
My eyes then look to you Lord
Higher still you reign

I look upon the buildings
That line the city streets
Walls built be man’s hands
Their living needs to meet
So high and filled with wonder
At what their size fulfills
My eyes then look to you Lord
And you are higher still

The mountains line the valley
Rising high in royalty
I gaze upon the snow caps
Such a thing of pure beauty
So high and standing grander
As tall as I can see
My eyes then look to you Lord
Higher still you’ll be

I look beyond the clouds
So high and windswept on
I see the brilliant stars
So high and far beyond
There is no end to outer space
It reaches heights unknown
My eyes then look to you Lord
Higher still and on your throne

Above all else you reign on high
Higher than the earth and sky
I can’t help but magnify
You’re worthy of all praise

Higher still I’ll lift my hands
Higher still is your sweet name
Higher then I’ll ever attain
Name above all names

Many things can try to rise
Unto heights that stretch my eyes
But even when they touch the sky
You are higher still

Keeping Me Safe

I walked alone for many years
Trying to find my way
It seemed I was going in circles
Life was just wasting away

I tried lots of different methods
Designed to bring me some joy
But each one turned to disaster
As my life was just further destroyed

Then one day I met the Savior
Who died on a cross for me
He took all my sins upon Him
And from guilt He set me free

Ever since that day I’ve been resting
In the Master’s loving embrace
There is no longer reason to look more
Because He always keeps me safe

I Rest

I rest in your promises Savior divine
Because of your mercy they all can be mine
I rest in your promises Jesus my Lord
You show them all to us throughout your word

I rest in your peace it calms every storm
I rest in your joy which bubbles and warms
I rest in your hope that never will die
I rest in your love forever it’s mine

I rest in your healing for every disease
I rest in deliverance that you bring to me
I rest in your cleansing from every sin
I rest in your Spirit that dwells within

There’s no need to worry
There’s no need to doubt
When I have a conflict
You’ll carry me out
And when indecision
Has darkened my way
You’ll speak to my heart
And guide me each day

I’ll rest in your mercy abundant and free
I’ll rest in the mercy that you give to me
I’ll rest in your grace amazing and grand
I’ll rest in the grace that helps me to stand

And when I am weary and day is done
I’ll look to the west and the setting sun
I’ll know that you’re with me throughout the night
I’ll quietly rest in you

What An Awesome Feeling

By faith I claim my healing
From cancer’s ugly snare
Not one small symptom will remain
Good health beyond compare

By faith I am delivered
From such a dread disease
There is no power on earth that lasts
When Jesus sends His peace

What a righteous Savior
Redeemer friend indeed
That by His grace He saved me
Supplied my every need
What an awesome feeling
What a gracious God
That He would give this faith to me
Then bask me in His love

By faith I’ll share my story
So others will gain hope
The Word of God goes forth to bring
An anchor to their soul

By faith I’ll stand before Him
Once again made whole
No power on earth can keep me from
The healing He will show

What a righteous Savior
Redeemer friend indeed
That by His grace He saved me
Supplied my every need
What an awesome feeling
What a gracious God
That He would give this faith to me
Then bask me in His love

I’ll walk by faith in God above
I’ll claim His Word more than enough
I’ll stay within His loving arms
I’ll praise His name with heaven’s song
I’ll count on His unfailing help
I’ll worship God above all else
I’ll lift Him up for all to see
How much my Savior loves me

What an awesome feeling
What a gracious God
That He would give this faith to me
Then bask me in His love
Then bask me in His love
