Get Busy

Leave a reply

“What is your will, Lord” I asked Him today
As I knelt down this morning and started to pray
I want to know that I’ll walk in your way
For all the days of my life

“My will is that all will come to know me
Go into all of the world is my plea
Preaching the gospel and setting them free
My will has never changed ”

I bowed my head as I knew I’d done less
I hadn’t been doing His work to my best
And still He had seen that my life was blessed
I praised Him for His sweet grace

He said “Son, I am pleased with your life at this time

You have done a great work, many souls are now mine

Never believe that your light has not shined

Your testimony is sure”

 

“But I know there’s so much more I can do

To bring others along so they can know you

And save them from lives of eternal doom

Why have I been so laid back?”

 

I heard Him smile as He said “That is past

Remember the future is mine, and it lasts

So start today and give me your best

Get busy and preach the word”

 

Lack of confusion

Leave a reply

I am not one to boast or brag

I used to and life was such a drag

I thought I knew just about everything

And I let people know it with plenty of zing

 

But one da y I learned that I was confused

About what was important when life is diffused

It’s now what I know in my head that stands tall

It’s what’s in my heart that matters at all

 

So now I am quieter day after day

I realize I don’t really know what to say

Except to say Jesus is really the way

To end your confusion today

Only in You

Only in you am I free, Lord

From all the sin in my life

You paid the price for my freedom

You became my sacrifice

 

Only in you is there peace, Lord

For my whole mind and soul

Even in times of trouble

You make my heart feel whole

 

Only in you is there joy, Lord

Not just a happy, cool place

You bring a blessing within me

That nobody can displace

 

Only in you is there love, Lord

Not just the lust of this world

You showed us your  compassion

And you taught us in your blessed Word

 

Only in you I reach heaven

You paved he way when you rose

Now I will live forever

Becuase it’s you I chose

 

 

Uncomplicated Life

Life can be so complicated

When I try it on my own

The decisions that I make can be so wrong

 

I find that I am drowning

In a sea of fear and doubt

And I’m always learning that I’m not that strong

 

But with Jesus in my life

I can walk in confidence

That He will bring me through my various tests

And all my fears and doubts

Are dwarfed by His great love

I find that He makes me be at my best

Reach out to Jesus

Leave a reply

I though success was in my grasp so any years ago

I had a good job, lots of friends, and always on the go

But soon I realized that I was on a troubled road

I had to turn around and start again

 

It was then I met Jesus, and my life turned upside down

I learned that His reach beckoned me to come to higher ground

And so I asked Him in my heart, His peace and joy I found

His blessings started flowing in my life

 

Now He asks me to reach out to others who need lost

To tell them their redemption’s near for He has paid the cost

They  simply need to reach out and accept Him at the cross

And they will realize His peace today

Christ Alone

Leave a reply

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

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

Finding Favor

Leave a reply

I don’t seek earthly possessions

I don’t try to fall for obsessions

I just seek my Lord

The one I adore

To teach me life’s valuable lessons

 

My life is lived to serve my Savior

He is the one that I savor

I’m not obsessed

Nor am I possessed

It’s in His arms I find favor

All is Well

It is well with my spirit
It is well with my Lord
I’ve been washed in the blood
I have been restored
A home in heaven
Will be my reward
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

It is well with my body
I am healed throughout
By the stripes on his back
Healing came about
And each day when I wake up
I will sing and shout
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

It is well in my mind
There’s no doubt or fear
For the thorns on His brow
Left His peace in there
And the faith I now have
Gives me cause to cheer
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

All is we all the time
When I have His grace
All is well all the time
When His mercy reigns
I can’t wait for the day
When I see His face
I’m in love,  I’m in love
With my Lord

It is well with my life
Since the day I prayed
Asking Jesus to hear me
So that I’d be saved
Now I know He is with me
Each and every day
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

 

All is well, all is well
With my Lord all the time
He has given me love
He has given me live
I will follow Him
All the days if my life
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

My Everything

Beautiful Savior

You are to me

Gave up your life

To set me free

I’ll be with you

For eternity

All because of your love

 

Wonderful counselor

You’re always there

To hear every heartache

And every prayer

Giving me counsel

Helping me hear

Wisdom that comes from above

 

Gracious redeemer

You give me hope

When I was lost

You made heaven my home

Took all my past

And washed it like snow

You have a plan for my life

 

Miraculous Healer

Of all my disease

Your blood was shed

To bring me your peace

Whether my body

Or mind is not eased

Your touch will calm ever fear

 

Marvelous friend

Walking along

As you care for my needs

Often you carry me

When I am weak

You are my hero and Lord

From now and forever

Your praise I will sing

Since you came into my heart
