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 All About Your Heart

2 Replies

I watch the news each morning

And what do I often see

Our cullture seems to be amidst a change

So many feel their slighted

And the balance is not fair

They think the way their treated is quite strange

 

I have news for each of them

Who feel entitlement

To have their own way be the way of life

It wonlt make any difference

What laws are put in placed

Unless you work to make your heart just right

 

The only way to change a heart

Is to give yourself to God

Let Him repair that broken heart with love

Jesus died uopn that cross

To take your sin away

You will find His grace is quite enough

 

So stop the demonstrations

And the murders and the hate

Let’s bring out culture back to moral ground

The heart is all that needs to change

To make our country great again

Today’s the day to let His love abound

Chasing The Blues

Leave a reply

Sometimes I just don’t feel like

Lifting up my voice in praise

My mood is down and dreary

And My hands don’t want to raise

There’s  no joy in my heart

My peace has been disturbed

I just want to jump back into bed

Where my moans will not be heard

 

But something deep within me

Starts to stir my spirit ‘round

And from somewhere in my being

A song begins to sound

It’s not a song of mourning

Or of grief or deep despair

But it’s a song of praise

That struggles to find air

 

Hallelujah, He is Lord

He rules the heaven and earth

Hallelujah, He is Lord

I’ll praise His matchless worth

I’ll sing a song of worship

As I lift my voice to Him

Hallelujah, He is Lord

To Him my praise I bring

 

Now I feel much better

My mood has turned around

I feel the peace of God

Praise fills my heart with sound

It’s the sound of heaven’s angels

As they praise the Lord with me

I’m no longer down and dreary

My spirit’s been set free

 

The lesson here today

Is that moods can be erased

Just open up and praise Him

And your blues will leave when chased

Your heart is ready always

To lift His holy name

So, prepare yourself for worship

Let’s lift up Jesus Name!

 

Hallelujah, He is Lord

He rules the heaven and earth

Hallelujah, He is Lord

I’ll praise His matchless worth

I’ll sing a song of worship

As I lift my voice to Him

Hallelujah, He is Lord

To Him my praise I bring

Grace is Enough

Leave a reply

Though my body is worn and feeble

And I have trouble walking at all

I know that you hear all my prayers

And your grace is enough

 

Though my spirit is troubled with worry

And I can’t seem to muster much faith

I know that you walk beside me

And your grace is enough

 

When all else fails

Your grace comes through

It reaches me

In all I do

There’s nothing else

That I can plead

Because your grace

Is all I need

 

Though my world has been turned upside down

And I can’t seem to find solid ground

I know that you still love me

And your grace is enough

 

Though my enemy keeps getting closer

And I feel surrounded and lost

I know that you’ve won the victory

And your grace is enough

 

I don’t need everything to be perfect

I don’t even need to know why

I just need to know you’re near

For your grace is enough

 

And no matter what comes I will praise you

I will worship your almighty name

Because you are seated in heaven

And your grace is enough

 

When all else fails

Your grace comes through

It reaches me

In all I do

There’s nothing else

That I can plead

Because your grace

Is all I need

Unthinkable Stink!

Leave a reply

If you had a choice

To have one simple smell

That would be with you for all time

Would you choose something pungent

That makes you quite sick

Or a sweet smelling savor divine?

 

I’m here to tell you

You do have that choice

It must be made while you’re alive

Because hell is a place

Of unthinkable stink

While heaven has scents so sublime

 

To avoid the bad stink

And eternity’s flames

One choice is all you must make

Accept Jesus Christ

As Lord of your life

And you’ll pass through those heavenly gates

Ten Lepers

2 Replies

Ten lepers heard that Jesus Christ

Was coming soon their way

He was passing by their camp

It could be most any day

 

They knew that He had healed the sick

And made the lame to walk

He opened eyes and ears for some

And made the deaf to talk

 

So they thought perhaps if He would pray

Their leprosy would go

The called out to Him as He passed

And He turned around real slow

 

Walking over to them, Jesus smiled

And reached out with His hand

He prayed, and touched them one by one

And their sores dried up again

 

Jesus sent them to the priest

And he’d pronounce them clean

Their lives would be restored

They’d return to family

 

Rejoicing, they all went

Down the road to their new lives

But one of them turned back

And came to Jesus side

 

He told the Master thank you

Then Jesus smiled and said

My son, you are made whole

Your body is no longer dead

All your sores are vanished

Your skin again does shine

Now go your way rejoicing

But where are the other nine?

 

The former leper turned to Him

And said I do not know

He thanked Him one more time

And headed down the road

 

You see that simple thank you

Made quite a difference

Instead of only being cleansed

That leper was made whole

No more scars to show His plight

No more nasty skin

He had a new life now to live

Again He would begin

 

The lesson for us all in this

Is to always be aware

When Jesus comes and touches us

That Thank You should be said

Which Way?

2 Replies

When it comes to heaven or hell

It is not really easy to tell

Which ones will be going

Without really knowing

Who sits on the liminal wall

 

You see you can’t sit in between

And hope to make heaven your scene

If Jesus is Lord

Then Heaven is yours

So make sure from sin you are clean

 

His blood washes whiter than snow

If you ask Him in you will know

He wil set you free

From sin’s dread disease

And Heaven will be your new home

Mercy To Me

Leave a reply

When I think of His mercy 
His wonderful mercy
I can’t help but lift up my voice
For it is His mercy
Magnificent mercy
That gives me great cause to rejoice

 

I was a sinner
A mess of a man
When mercy came calling to me
I heard His voice
And accepted His words
His mercy has now set me free

 

Mercy saved me
Mercy raised me 
Mercy gave me a brand-new life
Mercy healed me
Mercy sealed me
I’m a child of the King for all time

 

Now I have Jesus

Beside me each day

He guides me with His gentle hand

I call on His mercy

Whenever I fall

And He will restore me again

 

Mercy touched me
Mercy cleansed me

Mercy washed all my sins away
Mercy called me
Mercy loved me
And this love follows me every day

 

So, I sing of His mercy 
His wonderful mercy
I lift up my voice to His name
For it is His mercy
Magnificent mercy
That’s worthy of all my praise

 

Praise be to Jesus

Wonderful Jesus

The author of mercy is He

I worship you Jesus

Magnificent Jesus

You have shown mercy to me

 

He Is Your Sacrifice

Leave a reply

I can’t imagine heaven

Beyond what I can read

A paradise unlike

Any that I’ve ever seen

Prepared from the beginning

For those who find the way

And no one knows when Jesus

Will declare “This is the Day”

 

Way back in the beginning

The Father had a plan

He created all this earth

And then He made a man

But man’s seed became sinful

When he chose to disobey

And God chose Cherubim

To block our access to the way

 

Many centuries went by

Before a virgin heard the call

The Holy Ghost descended

And His seed produced a child

They named the child Jesus

He was born to save the world

He taught men of the Father

And healed them with His words

 

He was hated by the leaders

For the people all loved Him

So, the leaders of the day

Decided He they should condemn

They beat and crucified Him

As He hung His blood dripped down

Then He died before they killed Him

And they buried Him in the ground

 

Before He went He told us

That He was the Way

And that no one came to God

Unless they came through Him by prayer

His blood would cleanse their sins

And bring healing for disease

And because He rose again

He gave us life eternally

 

Those who have accepted Him

Will make heaven their home

We’ll dance upon the streets of gold

Never more to roam

If you have not accepted Him

And His wondrous gift of life

Any not ask Him in today

He is your sacrifice.

Changing Words

Leave a reply

I used to think sarcasm 

Didn’t matter much to most 

I use to use it every single day

But then I found my words 

Were hurting all my friends 

Like an arrow from a bow, a mark they made
Then one day I met Jesus 

And His gentle voice called out 

In a way that did elicit my response 

I knelt down on my knees 

And I asked Him in my heart 

 I knew my life was changed from that day on
The first thing my friends noticed 

Was the changing of my words 

The sarcasm and cursing was all gone

I told them I’d met Jesus

And you should do the same 

You’ll be glad you did your whole life long.
