His Disciple Be

2 Replies

I couldn’t ask the Lord for more

Of His amazing grace

Or His everlasting mercy

Or His loving soft embrace

I couldn’t ask the Lord for more

Of His abiding peace

Or His overwhelming joy

Or His Spirit of release

He gives and gives then gives some more

And all He asks of me

Is to follow in His footsteps

And His disciple be

I couldn’t ask for blessings

Because He gives me oh so much

I couldn’t ask for miracles

I’m surrounded by His touch

But I can ask for guidance

That He lead me every day

And I could ask for wisdom

That I follow in His way

I can ask forgiveness

When I wander from His plan

And I can ask protection

In the palm of His hand

He gives and gives then gives some more

And all He asks of me

Is to follow in His footsteps

And His disciple be

There’s nothing He won’t do for me

To follow in His ways

He’ll walk with me and talk with me

For all my coming days

So I will lift my praises

To my Savior and my Lord

Because He’s with me forever

He’s the one that I adore

Look to the Son

Long time ago

He put them in place

Millions of stars

Hung up in space

All bright and shiny

Twinkling above

Telling us nightly

Of His great love

Here on this earth

Millions of us

Looking above

Hoping for love

God loves you more

Thank you’ll ever know

Gave His own Son

His love to show

Don’t look at thee stars

To show you the way

Look at the Son

He loves you today

It’s hard to find the words to say
How much I love my Lord
Every day that passes by
I love Him more and more

He’s with me everywhere I go
He never leaves my side
I know I can depend on Him
For in me He abides

He talks to me with loving word
He tells makes me feel so calm
Whenever I am feeling low
He lifts me in His arms

Wonderful He is to me
Marvelous His ways
I will praise His mighty name
Every single day

He comforts me when times are hard
He sends the Spirit in
I can feel His awesome touch
As He dwells deep within

His peace does overwhelm me
Every time I turn around
There’s nothing like the peace of God
To make you safe and sound

His joy is so unspeakable
Even when times aren’t good
I feel it flooding to my soul
Like a rapid running brook

Wonderful He is to me
Marvelous His ways
I will praise His mighty name
Every single day

His mercy and His grace come last
But certainly not least
They’re always there protecting me
From the enemy
And I can so depend on them
To carry me each day
I can’t imagine life without
His mercy and His grace

Wonderful He is to me
Marvelous His ways
I will praise His mighty name
Every single day

I used to listen to music

That was considered underground

Acid Rock, gross in lyrics

Revolution and dissent all around

I didn’t know how it had shaped me

And the attitude I would live by

For I definitely had a bad spirit

And the music it just multiplied

Now I have changed all my music

Christian is the name of the game

And my thought life is oh, so much better

I can tell since music has changed

So if you find your thoughts are struggling

Maybe a change will help clear

Come up from those negative kyrics

And try Christian to bring you good cheer

Note: I wrote this back in 1978 when I was preparing to move from Massachusetts to Iowa to begin a new life serving the Lord.

Thank you, Jesus,

For the love you share with me –

I thank you, Jesus,

For the love that’s always in my heart.

You will always love me:

And I know –

That your love does fill me:

Yes I know –

That I’ll always have you inside of me

Oh – thank you,

Thank you Jesus.

How many days go by

When I seldom hear a sigh;

You are always deep within me –

Ever holding my heart gently –

Keeping me alive –

So I may share your love.

Thank you, Jesus,

For the love you share with me –

I thank you, Jesus,

Oh – thank you,

Thank you Jesus.

Thanks and praise be to Jesus!

Sometimes i sit quietly

And think about my life

Subdued and contemplative

In awe of Jesus Christ

How He took this poor lost sinner

And He gave me a new wife

Then some children and some grands

In a wonderful new life

He also took my sins away

And washed me up snow white

And He asked me to go out

And share His wondrous light

He’s given me a purpose

And He gives me Spirit sight

To find those that are hungry

And are struggling in their life

Sometimes I sit and wonder

Why my God would rescue me

Subdued and contemplative

I bow down on my knee

And I thank my Lord and Savior

For the life He’s given me

What an awesome God he is

And will forever bez

How Excellent Are Your Ways

Oh God, how excellent are your ways

You have been God since before the foundation of the world

You spoke and the earth was formed

The waters and the earth gathered together at your word

At the sound of your voice the earth brought forth trees and greenery

The sun and the moon appeared at your command, and you placed the stars in space

Then you created all the animals, on the ground, in the sea, and the birds and insects

Then you made man out of the dust of the ground

You gave him dominion over all that you have made

And you said it was all good

And you rested

Oh God, my God, how excellent are your ways

Still today you watch over your creation

You bring the rain in due season

The thunder blasts and the lightning crashes at your command

The sky clears and the rainbow appears to remind us of your promise

You bring the crops to maturity and the farmers bring in the harvest

The harvest you have provided

You turn the trees to brilliant colors in the cool fall air

We marvel at the beauty of your creation

Oh God, my God how excellent are your ways in all the earth

You still love man despite the way he has failed you

You still see him as the crowning jewel of your creation

You cry out to him to turn back to your word

Because you know what is best for your creation

Help us Lord, to turn to you

Help us to follow your word

Help us to pray for our nation

You have been so good to us while we have turned our backs on you

Forgive our nation, Lord, for our transgressions

Hear our plea for healing and restoration

Renew us in your word, and clothe us with your Holy Spirit

Let your love arise in our hearts as we worship you

Let the church rise and carry out your word

That we should humble ourselves,

And pray,

And seek your face,

And turn from our wicked ways

Because then, and only then

Will you hear from heaven

And forgive our sins

And heal our Land.

Oh God, my God, How excellent are your ways in all the earth.
