Lending the Light

1 Reply

A birthday cake is always fun

When children are involved

Their faces will light up the room

As the we sing a familiar song

 

The candle count goes with their years

They are lit and shining bright

The light reflects in the child’s eyes

As they blow them out of sight

 

But much more important is the light

That my candle shines each day

The love of Jesus in my heart

Must show others the way

 

And I must guard real closely

That it never gets blown out

Because that child depends on me

To know what God’s about

 

Keep your candle burning

Let it always lend it’s light

To those who need a Savior

Let it shine both day and night

A Friend of Mine

I want to talk with Jesus all the day long

Telling my story and singing my song

I want to talk with Jesus all the day long

‘Cause He’s a friend of mine

 

I want to walk with Jesus all through the night

Showing Him all of my favorite sights

I want to walk with Jesus all through the night

‘Cause he’s a friend of mine

 

I asked Him in my heart many years ago

And I have come to know Him more and more

Every time I need Him, I call on His name

And He comes a running to my side

 

I want to sit with Jesus under the stars

Ask about creation right from the start

I want to sit with Jesus under the stars

‘Cause He’s a friend of mine

 

And even though He’s my friend I praise His name

I’ll worship Him forever, that will never change

I lift my voice to heaven and lift up my praise

To my very best friend – Jesus is His name

 

I asked Him in my heart many years ago

And I have come to know Him more and more

Every time I need Him, I call on His name

And He comes a running to my side

Great, Great Love

One day every knee will bow

In heaven and in earth

And every tongue will confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord

 

It matters not what they believed

While living on this earth

They must acknowledge He is Lord

For all the world to see

 

And those who served Him here below

Will then a mansion gain

But those who chose another road

A fire awaits them

 

As for me I’ll sing His praise

As long as I have breath

For He’s the one who gave His life

So I’d be free from sin

 

Oh, the great, great love of God

Who sent His only Son

To die and take my sin away

And rose to give me life

 

Oh the great. Great love of God

Who looks down from above

And helps me every day I live

To grow in grace and truth

 

I’ll lift my praise Hosanna

Glory to the King

Highest Hallelujahs

Praise His mighty name

 

Praise and adoration

To Jesus Christ my Lord

Worthy of my highest praise

Now and evermore.

You travel through life a day at a time

Trying to find your way

It seems you are not getting anywhere fast

As you tackle life every day

Then you meet Jesus, and you ask Him to com

Into your heart to stay

And now you feel there’s a purpose to life

So you start to ask as you pray.

 

Lord, why have I had so many hurts

And difficult times in my life

Why have I faced such a series of tests

That have brought me a good deal of strife

And God answers back that now you’re prepared

To help others with things in their life

Because your an original, one of a kind

But what you have learned helps mankind

 

So get out and share your experiences

And see who wil heed your call

What you  have gone through will help many come

And answer the Masters call

Humble Yourself

Leave a reply

Pride is the enemies most valuable weapon

Pride is the way he maintains his possession

Whenever I get tied up inside of myself

Pride convinces me I’m okay.

 

Pride will take me to heights of elation

Pride will send me to the depths of depression

Whenever I get tied up inside my own self

Pride convinces me I must stay.

 

Pride is the enemy of God in our hearts

Pride is the first thing that has to depart

Whatever it takes to get out of myself

Pride must be left in the past

 

Because to come to God we must acknowledge our sins

We must ask His forgiveness and grace

We must bow down before Him and say He is Lord

Then, and only then, we’ll be saved

 

Then we will know of His ultimate love

Then we will know that He rules from above

Then we will know that He that He wants to know us

In the very depths of our hearts

 

And if we humble ourselves before God on that day

We will taste of His marvelous, wonderful grace

We will start to feel love as the pride we erase

And allow His meek Spirit to thrive

 

So won’t you please recognize all of the pride

That you’ve bottled up way down deep inside

And bow on your knee and lay it aside

And be humbled before your God?
