Desperate

God I need you desperately
There is no other way
My soul and spirit cry out
For your sweet touch today

God I love you completely
My life is in your hands
My heart belongs to you alone
I wait to hear your plan

What a wonder you are oh God
Your mercy is all I need
You saved my soul
You made me whole
Your grace has captured me

God I come with humility
I bow down at your feet
With broken heart from all my sin
Let mercy cover me

I’m desperate Lord
Desperate for more of you
Desperate for your mercy
Desperate for your grace
Desperate for your love
Desperate to see your face

What a wonder you are oh God
Your mercy is all I need
You saved my soul
You made me whole
Your grace has captured me

The Gift of Love

He’s given me life everlasting
And a joy this world cannot afford
But it’s only for me
When I bow on my knee
And make Him my Savior and Lord

Some think they are saved by their actions
That His grace covers them through their lives
His Word shows one way
That you can be saved
The blood that He shed must apply

It’s a gift of love that must be received
A gift of love that you must believe
A gift of love that covers your sins
You must ask the Savior to come live within

If you are not sure that heaven’s your home
If you have depended on your deeds alone
Repent of your sin
Give your life to Him
This gift of love then you will know

It’s a free gift and you must accept it
It’s there in the Saviors hands
Just humble yourself
And ask for His help
Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord

It’s a gift of love that must be received
A gift of love that you must believe
A gift of love that covers your sins
You must ask the Savior to come live within

He’s the One

I never will forget
The day He set me free
When I learned about the cross at Calvary
I never will forget
His sacrifice that day
Mercy flowed from His wounds and rendered grace

He took all of my shame
He healed my every pain
The burden of my sin was lifted off
He gave me peace within
He broke off all my chains
Gave me faith and hope instead of all my doubt

Who is this King of Kings
Who is this Lord of Lords
That He would care about this lowly man of sin
Who is this Savior
Who is this Mighty God
His name is Jesus He’s the one.

He’s the one who made all things
He’s the one who all life brings
He’s the one who came to earth
He’s the one with lowly birth
He’s the one who healed the lame
He’s the one who had no blame
He’s the one who died for me
He’s the one who set me free

His name is Jesus
His name is Jesus
Son of God Word of life Light to all
His name is Jesus
His name is Jesus
Lord of Lords King of Kings He’s the one

I made a video with the melody to this one this morning. Its a rough video, but it gives you what God put in my head.

 

He’s the One

My Desire

This poem was written with inspiration from Scott’s blog this morning.  You can read it at  THIS ADDRESS

I used to desire riches
I thought they would satisfy
And though I gathered up many
My heart had a lonely cry

I used to desire pleasures
That took all my riches away
They made me feel good for a moment
Then pay for them dearly next day

I used to desire real power
So I could feel big and alive
But pride was what then resulted
I fell flat on my face and I cried

Then I learned of someone named Jesus
Who would fill the desires of my heart
I did not believe it was possible
But I needed a brand new start

I knelt down one day at the altar
I slowly looked up to the sky
Then I cried out to Him
Asking Him to come in
That day my life changed on the fly

My desire is now for just Jesus
He is all that I want or need
He fills me with love
His joy fills my cup
And to top it all off I have peace

If your soul is longing for more
And you never are satisfied
Just cry out to Him
Asking Him to come in
And you’ll suddenly feel alive

He Can

If it’s healing that you need He can
If it’s finance woes indeed He can
If you need a miracle
If it seems impossible
You can always rest assured He can

If a storm needs moved away He can
If a night needs to be day He can
If a mountain needs to move
If a neighbor bothers you
You can always rest assured He can

He parted the Red Sea
He rained manna from the sky
He brought water from a rock
He brought quails all piled high

He stopped the sun and moon
He shut the Lions mouth
He fed Jonah to a whale
He turned enemies about

He raised children from the dead
He turned water into wine
He fed thousands with one lunch
He healed lame and deaf and blind

If He did this all before
He can do it all again
He doesn’t change
His love remains
Call on Him and you will win

Just one warning I will give
He’ll not regard your prayer
If your mind still dwells on sin
My dear friends please beware (1)
Of your life is pure today
Then whatever you will pray
In His time the answer comes
Because He can

(1) Psalm 66:18 “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me”

The Eyes of Jesus

I dreamed I was walking down the street
Saw a beggar begging bread
I drop a few coins in His tin cup
Then on down the street I head

I sew a drunk man crossing the street
Has trouble finding his way
I take his arm to help him across
Then continue on with my day

I saw three young men coming my way
Their clothing and look was a mess
I bowed my head and walked silently
So as not to give them offense

What did I see when I looked at them all
Through these judgmental eyes of mine
Did my pride rise up and see their sin
Or did His mercy fill up my eyes

With all the hatred throughout our land
The church needs to rise up tall
One by one we must take a stand
And humble ourselves at the cross

He looked on us full of compassion
No matter what filled up our lives
He cried Father forgive them for you and I
As He hung His head and died

If I’ll look with the eyes of Jesus
Full of compassion and love
Perhaps I can plant a seed in their lives
And turn their hearts above

Help me Lord when I cross their paths
To see the sinner and not the sin
Give me courage to share your love with them
Give me the right words within

Make me humble and down to earth
Make me appeal to their needs
Help me to find some common ground
Help me to plant a seed

Oh What A Savior

When I think of all He has done for me
I can’t help but lift His name
When I think about the day He set me free
I can’t help but give Him praise

I was destined for destruction
I had truly lost my way
Wandering in a sea of deep despair
When Jesus whispered to me
My child I died for you
You can turn your life around with one short prayer

I bowed my head in silence
The words began to flow
Forgive me of my sins I’ll change my way
I felt His spirit enter in
My heart was warmed with peace
Everything has changed since that glorious day

When I think of all He has done for me
I can’t help but lift His name
When I think about the day He set me free
I can’t help but give Him praise

Oh what a Savior
I lift your name
Jesus Lord of my life
Oh what a Savior
All of my praise
Be to you precious Lord
You’re the one I adore
King of Kings Lord of Lords
I lift your name

Lifting Praise

There are days that I don’t feel like getting out of my bed
All my current problems seem to clog up in my head
When me feet hit the floor it seems I’m carrying lead
I can feel a real bad day coming on

My attitude this morning is headed to an all-time low
But I’ve learned that attitude is one thing I can control
I turn down deep within me and my spirit does roar
With a mighty sound of praise a new day dawns

Lifting praise unto my Lord
Lifting songs of worship to the one that I adore
When the day seems oh so bleak
There is one thing I can do
Lift a song of praise unto the Lord

When you wake up to a bad day wanting just to sleep
I have a proven method that will get you on your feet
It doesn’t take too long before your joy is complete
You’ll wish you could bring everyone along

Lifting praise unto my Lord
Lifting songs of worship to the one that I adore
When the day seems oh so bleak
There is one thing I can do
Lift a song of praise unto the Lord

For the song of praise takes your mind off your problems
The song of praise brings you into peaceful rest
Lifting Jesus up each day
Will start you on your way
You will see that every day becomes the best

Lifting praise unto my Lord
Lifting songs of worship to the one that I adore
When the day seems oh so bleak
There is one thing I can do
Lift a song of praise unto the Lord

The Most Amazing Thing

I serve the God who put all the stars in place
He stretched out all the heavens and set the bounds of space
He even put the smile on the moon man’s face
The God I serve can do most anything

I serve the God who taught the morning birds to sing
The spider learned to spin his web the bee learned he could sting
The leaves learned changing color would autumn beauty bring
The God I serve can do most anything

His wisdom fills the heavens
His glory lines the clouds
His beauty can be seen day after daycreation
When you look up to heaven
You’ll see His handiwork
With wonder and with awe you’ll be amazed

I serve the God who started with an earth devoid of life
He told the light to shine and the water to arrive
He grew the trees and grasses so the beasts would all survive
The God I serve can do most anything

Then He formed a man out of the dust that covered earth
He breathed in him the breath of life which gave his spirit birth
God gave dominion to the man to show him his great worth
The God I serve can do most anything

His wisdom fills the heavens
His glory lines the clouds
His beauty can be seen day after day
When you look up to heaven
You’ll see His handiwork
With wonder and with awe you’ll be amazed

But man would disappoint Him, and disobey His plan
He sinned a sin what would be passed along to every man
God had to find a way to restore this earth again
The God I serve can do most anything

He sent His Son to earth to rescue all of us from sin
He died upon the cross to give us joy and peace within
He made us all a heavenly home when He rose again
The God I serve can do most anything

With all the wonders He has made
With all the miracles He gave
The most amazing thing he did
Was die to set me free

His wisdom fills the heavens
His glory lines the clouds
His beauty can be seen day after day
When you look up to heaven
You’ll see His handiwork
With wonder and with awe you’ll be amazed

Don’t Delay

Do you think it strange
That I would spend all my days
Giving Him praise
With all of my heart

If you could believe
What the Lord’s done for me
Then you would see
That my love won’t depart

He took my sins as black as night
And made me white as snow
He took my sickness and disease
And made me fully whole
He took my sorrow and my fear
And filled my heart with joy
He took my doubt and left His faith
His love has overflowed

He changed my trembling into peace
He showered me with His dear grace
His mercy forgave my disgrace
Oh what a friend He is
Oh what a friend He is

I hope you now see
What the Lord has done for me
Because His love is real
And it’s for you today

If you will believe
Then you can truly receive
All that’s He’s done for me
Don’t delay
There’s a way
Be blessed today
And give Him praise
