No Worries

Leave a reply

I never have to worry
If you are here with me
Because your word tells
That’s where you’ll always be

I never have to worry
If you will hear my prayer
Because you word s true
When you say you’ll lend an ear

The world may think it’s silly
For me to have such faith
But I will just ignore them
And praise you all the way

I never have to worry
If you will strengthen me
When the trials come my way
Your strength is all I need

I never have to worry
If you will be on time
Your answer will come when
And however you decide

The world thinks I am crazy
To trust you all the way
But you have never failed me
No, not any single day

I think it’s ’cause I praise you
From morning until night
life my voice in worship
You make all things right

And when I sing your prayers
My worries disappear
You come and fill my spirit
With words of peace and cheer

So I will go on praising you
Every moment, every day
And all my doubt and worry
Will swiftly fade away

Now That I Know

Leave a reply

There was a time
When I knew not
What Jesus did for me
I hadn’t heard
About His love
Or death on Calvary

I didn’t know
His sacrifice
Was given in my place
I hadn’t heard
Of His mercy
Or His amazing  grace

But now that I know I’ll praise Him
From the dawn ’til setting sun
I’ll lift my voice and hands up high
For all that He has done

I’ll praise Him for His goodness
I’ll praise Him for His love
I’ll praise Him for the mansion
He has built for me above

Now that I know
What Jesus did
To set me free from sin
Others must hear
About His love
And all He’s done for them

I’ll let them know
The price He paid
That He died to set them free
I’ll share the word
And testify
The He would die for me

I will worship Him on high
And I will praise His name
I’ll tell the world of His great love
I’ll tell them how I’ve changed

And when I gt the chance to pray
For someone to be saved
I’ll celebrate with the heav’nly host
And lift His name in praise

Oh, glory to the Son of God
Glory to His name
His love has saved us all from sin
I’ll lift my voice in praise

Waking Me

Leave a reply

Each day I wake to birds
Singing to the sunrise
Cheerfully they chirp
Loud and full of life

I see the morning sun
Color streams from it’s rays
Slowly rise above
Horizon far away

I’m so glad for those birds
Waking me from the deep
If I’d not heard their cry
I’d still be fast asleep

Saving Grace

1 Reply

I can’t find a way to tell you
How much Jesus means to me
Until you recognize His saving grace
He is more than just a friend
And more than just a crutch
He’s the one who on the cross did take my place

I was lost and meant for hell
When He came to me and called
He told me that He loved me more than life
That’s why so many years ago
He gave His life for me
And rescued me from all my sin and strife

And in case you didn’t know
He did it for you, too
For everyone who calls on Him He saves
So won’t you pray today
And ask Him to come in
And then you’ll recognize His saving grace

My Way Back

1 Reply

I saw the old man
walk into church that Sunday morn
His clothes were tattered
his skin was worn
I could smell the hardness of life
Three pews away
And I was ready to move
when I heard him pray

I’ve got to find my way back to you
I’ve drifted too far away
Not sure how far I’ve strayed
I’ve got to find my way back to you
Please keep shining your light
into this night
that I’m going thru
He sat alone

no one dared to come near
The music started
he bowed his head
I could see the tears
were running down his face
As we sang Amazing Grace
he looked up and prayed

Dear God
I’m not sure what I need to do
My life is such a big mess
I can’t find any rest
Dear God
please show me what I need to do
To get turned around
and be grounded in you again

I could feel the tears
start running from my eyes
And while the music played on
I moved to his side
I said friend
the Lord has heard your cry
Would you come with me right now
I will help you find your way

As the music
played just as I am
We knelt down
bowed our heads
closed our eyes
and he started to pray

Father forgive me
for the wrongs I have done
I give you my life
I’ll follow your Son
I promise my life
will be yours from now on
Dear Jesus
thank you for my friend

Then he took my hand
and gave a gentle squeeze
A smile as big as heaven
broke his weary, worn face
I know that he’d met Jesus
and I looked up in praise

Lord I thank you
for showing us the way
When we get lost on the path
you keep drawing us back
Lord I thank you
for this new-found friend
Yes he found his way back
all the way back to you

 

My Heart Cries Out

5 Replies

I still remember when I first met Jesus

Sitting on a couch in Iowa

He came into my heart

Gave me a brand-new start

I knew that He was with me all the way

 

It’s been over 40 years since that day

When the burden of my sin was washed away

Since then I’ve learned to pray

And to follow in His ways

But most of all I’ve learned to praise His name

 

My heart cries out to praise Him

For all He’s done for me

His mercy’s overwhelming

His grace is sweet indeed

I lift my hands in worship

To Jesus Christ my King

My heart cries out to praise Him

He is my everything

 

Today I know He teaches me His truth

And He’s become my guiding light

I trust in Him always

I know He plans my days

I will never be out of His sight

 

And should this day bring troubles

That make me doubt and fear

I know He’ll comfort me

And in His arms I’ll be

Safe and sound, His love will be so near

 

My heart cries out to praise Him

For all He’s done for me

His mercy’s overwhelming

His grace is sweet indeed

I lift my hands in worship

To Jesus Christ my King

My heart cries out to praise Him

He is my everything

What A Night

Leave a reply

What a night, what a night, what a very special night

See the star in the sky shining oh so bright

See the shepherds by the fire 

See the wise men follow the star

Knowing not what’s to come this very special night

 

Mary and Joseph travelled oh so many miles

They awaited the birth of their first child

Looking for a room at the inn

There was no room for them within

A stable would be there room for the night

 

The shepherds were startled by an Angelic light

Do not be afraid echoed through the night

I bring good tidings of Joy

Peace on earth for girls and boys

And a host of Angels Loud Hosannas sing

 

What a night, what a night, what a very special night

See the star in the sky shining oh so bright

  1. See the shepherds by the fire 

See the wise men follow the star

Knowing not what’s to come this very special night

 

They came with their flocks to find that babe

Wrapped in some clothes and laid in the hay

They knelt down to worship Him

Assured He’s the coming King

Then for a while they would worship and stay

 

Mary and Joseph knew their child was special

They’d both been told of His coming arrival

But they held their peace

When the shepherds did speak

And asked why they were summoned by angels

 

What a night, what a night, what a very special night

See the star in the sky shining oh so bright

See the shepherds by the fire 

See the wise men follow the star

Knowing not what’s to come this very special night

 

The wise men arrived from the east they had come

They knew that the star was a sign from above

Their gifts they did bear

Gold, incense and myrrh

They knelt down to worship this child filled with love

 

Thus, the scene was set

No one would forget

That the Son of God came as a babe

And for many years

Mary shed her tears

For she knew what a price he would pay

 

What a night, what a night, what a very special night

See the star in the sky shining oh so bright

See the shepherds by the fire 

See the wise men follow the star

Knowing not what’s to come this very special night

 

The Resting Place

Leave a reply

I need to find a resting place

Where troubles will all cease

It seems the daily battles rage

And I can’t find His peace

 

I long to find a resting place

Where healing will be mine

It seems this worn out body

Gets sorer all the time

 

I hope to find a resting place

Where doubt is cast aside

Where faith is all that rules

My heart and soul and mind

 

I’m searching for a resting place

Where I can dwell in peace

I need a calm, assuring voice

To end my worried speech

 

And when the day is over

And my rhyme is almost done

A small voice whispers in my ear

And now I can rejoice

 

Jesus is the resting place

That I am longing for

In His arms your comfort waits

Come and make Him yours
He’ll heal you and deliver you

And peace will flood your soul

And soon you’ll find a quiet rest

That soothes and makes you whole

 

Come into the resting place

Where peace is all for you

Jesus is the resting place

He’s there awaiting you.
