Ungoverned

I once discovered
That I’d been ungoverned
My life had been such a disgrace
Now I have an inkling
You know what I’m thinking
When I tell you that I’ve found my way

My best friend had gumtion
He made introduction
For me to find Jesus my Lord
Now I’m singing praise
To that glorious name
My life is now safe evermore

The Heavenly Chorus

I hear the heav’nly chorus
Singing ‘round the throne
Angels sound their trumpets
As they worship God alone

Cherubim and seraphim
Flying as they sing
Join the gathered elders
Praise to God they bring

To the Lamb we sing blessing
Glory and honor
Power Forever Amen

My heart is lifted upward
To heavenly heights I climb
As I sing the angel chorus
With all my heart and mind

To the Lamb I sing blessing
Glory and honor
Power Forever Amen
To the Lamb I sing blessing
Glory and honor
Power Forever Amen

Holy is He
Holy is He
Holy is the Lamb
Holy is He
Holy is He
Holy is the Lamb

To the Lamb I sing blessing
Glory and honor
Power Forever Amen

The Masterpiece

It’s hard for me to fathom
How the master forms the clay
While it’s spinning so quickly on the wheel
I have watched Him use the water
As He forms and shapes the clay
The pressure that he gives must be ideal

When he finishes he looks
At the masterpiece he made
As it casts a silhouette upon the ground
In his image he created
Each one of us unique
There is not another one of you around

One by one he fashioned us
On the spinning wheel of life
The pressure of his hands through trials felt
The water of His cleansing word
Shapes and molds our lives
‘Til before His cross we solemnly have knelt

The master knows you better
Than you even know yourself
He always has the best for you in mind
He formed you to be his
Won’t you give your life to Him
Make Jesus the Lord of all your life

He Loves Me

He sees me when I’m smiling
He sees me when I frown
He sees me when I’m up
He sees me when I’m down
He sees me when I’m lonely
He sees me when I’m full
He sees me when I’m happy
He sees me when I’m blue

He not only sees but He cares for me
He looks down and sends His mercy for free
When I cannot feel Him and don’t hear his voice
He is still watching me

He hears me when I’m crying
He hears me when I laugh
He hears me when I’m solemn
He hears me when I gasp
He hears me when I’m anxious
He hears me when I’m calm
He hears me when I’m peaceful
He hears when I’m alarmed

He not only hears but He answers me
If I’ll only listen I’ll know He loves me
When I am not sure if He hears my voice
He is still list’ning to me

He never will leave me
Never give up on me
Never abandon me
Never ignore me
He always will love me
Always be there for me
Always forgive me
Always have mercy

His love reaches out and captures me
His joy fills me up and He gives me peace
I cannot imagine life without Him
Jesus Christ my Lord

Up and Down

I’m learning the piano
One lesson at a time
It seems my fingers do not move
As fast as I would like

One lesson that I’m good at
Is one they call a trill
My fingers travel up and down
Like hiking on a hill

I find that life is like that
It takes us up and down
Our journeys may be diff’rent
We walk on diff’rent ground

If your life seems uncertain
And you want to start anew
Just give your life to Jesus
He gave His life for you

Ask Him for forgiveness
To be your Lord today
He’ll come and walk beside you
Forever and always

There For Me

I have been sick
I have been bound
I have been lost
I’ve been unsound
I have been worried
I have been sad
Jesus was there for me

I have had doubts
I have had pain
I have had troubles
I’ve had disdain
I have had thoughts
That this was the end
Jesus was there for me

Jesus is always right there for me
When I call out to Him He comforts me
Shows me His mercy so I can see
How much He truly loves me

I have been broken
I have been beat
I have been chastised
I’ve been incomplete
I have been wandering
I have cried out
Jesus was there for

Jesus is always right there for me
When I call out to Him He comforts me
Shows me His mercy so I can see
How much He truly loves me

He loves me more
Then I’ll ever know
He loves me more
Then I’ll ever know
He loves me more
Then I’ll ever know
Jesus is there for me

Jesus is always right there for me
When I call out to Him He comforts me
Shows me His mercy so I can see
How much He truly loves me

Turn to Jesus

If you’re struggling today
And you don’t know where to turn
Turn to Jesus

If you’re lost along the way
And it’s hard to understand
Turn to Jesus

He will guide you and protect you
He will light your way
He will set your feet on solid ground
If you’re wandering through life
And you think there’s no return
Turn to Jesus

If you’re sick and in despair
And you have no place to go
Turn to Jesus

If it seems your life’s a wreck
And you just can’t get it right
Turn to Jesus

He will heal your broken body
He’ll restore you’re wounded heart
He will make you feel brand new again
If you’re wandering through life
And you think there’s no return
Turn to Jesus

He is the way when there is no way
He is the truth when you doubt
He is the light when the darkness comes
He is the only way out

If you’re looking for the answer
To the questions in your life
If you’re ready to surrender
All your sin and shame and strife
If your heart is truly broken
If your words are faintly spoken
If you have just one last prayer
Turn to Jesus

Master of Everything

I’ve wandered through darkness and trouble
I’ve lived through the good times and bad
So far I’ve survived
By keeping my eyes
On the one who died in my place

The road has not always been easy
At times I just want to give up
Then I realize
That it’s just my pride
That tells me I don’t have enough

He’s blessed me beyond good measure
He’s brought me through every trial
I just can’t escape
His mercy and grace
He’s been with me all the while

From now on when I’m in the battle
When it seems like there’s no way out
I’ll call out to Him
My Savior and friend
Then I’ll lift up my voice and shout

Glory to God in the highest
Praise to the King of Kings
Worship His name
Honor and praise
Master of everything

I Rise

Out of the ashes
Out of the mire
Out of the dark
I rise

Out of my sin
Out of my guilt
Out of my shame
I rise

He lifted me up
Set my feet on the rock
I am washed by His blood
Forever

He guides me each day
His word lights my way
I’m safe and secure
In Him

Out of despair
Out of my past
Out of the lies
I rise

Out of bondage
Out of sorrow
Out of anger
I rise

He lifted me up
Set my feet on the rock
I am washed by His blood
Forever

He guides me each day
His word lights my way
I’m safe and secure
In Him

Jesus mighty Savior
Jesus lifted me
Pulled me up from darkness
I’m free
I’m free

Into His joy
Into His peace
Into His hope
I rise

Into His arms
Into His care
Into His love
I rise

Jesus mighty Savior
Jesus lifted me
Pulled me up from darkness
I’m free
I’m free

Fragile Future 

My life was so easy

When I was a sinner

I didn’t know better

Than drinking or lust
One day I realized 

My future was fragile 

I was not so agile 

To freely live on
I then met the Savior

Who sought me forever

He would fail me never

If He was my Lord
I gave my heart to Him 

Now peace is internal

His joy is eternal

I’m now heaven bound
