You Alone

If I had a nickel for every lie I spoke 
Or if I had a penny for all my wasted hopes
I'd be richer than the richest man the world has ever known
Yet I would be a pauper, stranded and alone 

If I spoke with grand words that motivated you
Or if I was an actor whose movies all would view 
I would be quite famous, a person you all knew
Yet I would be alone, Lord, if I did not have you

CHORUS
You alone bring riches more than this world ever knew 
You alone bring meaning to this lost and lonely world 
You alone can calm my soul when storms come roaring through
You alone, Jesus.   You alone.

If I won every battle and built a fortress grand
Or if, after each struggle, I took a victor’s stance
I’d feel stronger than the strong man who lifts weights every day
Yet I would still be weak against the daily trials I face

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You alone Jesus, you alone
All glory and all honor to you alone
To you alone Jesus I give my life today
You alone, Jesus.  You alone

CHORUS

Set On Jesus

I've set my mind on Jesus
As the storm comes raging in
He'll be there to protect me
He'll bring me peace within

I've set my eyes on Jesus
I walk out on the waves
I'll stay above the storms of life
If only I'll obey

I've set my soul in Jesus
So when my eyes see storms
He'll reach His hand out to me
And lift me out if harm

I get my strength from Jesus 
To walk back to the boat 
Safe and secure forever 
He keeps my life afloat 

My spirit rests in Jesus
He calms the raging seas
His peace and joy come flooding in
His love has rescued me

Jesus Came Running

There are times in my life when I am in trouble
Sin creeps on in and draws me away
My strength is gone and I can’t find the answer
That’s when Jesus comes running to me

I often think I’ve got life together
I often think that my answers are fine
But then I find that I’m going in circle
And I’ve lost direction and purpose in life
These are this times that I need a Savior
These are the times that I need a friend’
When it comes down in the heat of the battle
That’s when Jesus comes running to me

He runs to me when the storms are raging
He runs to me when I’m lonely and tired
He runs to me when my body is sickly
He runs to me when I need Him nearby

He runs and brings joy
He runs and brings peace
He runs and brings hope
He runs to my need

He runs and brings healing
He runs and brings strength
He runs and brings love
He runs to my need

He runs with His open wide
He runs and He holds me real tight
He runs and He lifts me up
He runs and He fills my cup

Oh, Lord, I need you right now in my life
I need you to come and help me survive
I need you to help me ride through this storm
I need you to come running to me

Come running to me Lord
Come running to me
I need you now to come running to me
Come running to me Lord
Come running to me
I need you now to come running to me

Jesus Came A Calling

There was a time that I was wandering deep in sins despair
I had no hope to live for and I really did not care
I’d almost given up on this misery of mine
Then Jesus came a calling and stepped into my life

What a change took place that day when Jesus rescued me
From a sinner who was perishing to a soul that was set free
I looked up to the heavens and raised my hands up high
To give praises to my Savior for His eternal life

Praise the one who came to give His life for mine
Praise the Lord of heaven who came to earth to die
Took on the form of man to face a cruel death
Nailed upon the cross and gave His final breath

All my sin and shame was nailed upon that tree
I give praise to my Savior who bled and died for me
But that was not the end of His mission and His plan
In three days He rose to glory so that I could live again

I will take the life He’s given me and live it for my Lord
I will follow His commandments and read His holy word
Each day I’ll lift my praises to the one that I adore
My resurrected Savior, Jesus Christ my Lord

You Captured My Heart

I love you Lord
More than I love myself
I need you Lord
More than anything else
I’ll follow Lord
Anywhere that you lead
I’ll trust you Lord
You know my deepest needs

Everything I have
Everything I see
It’s all your creation
You’ve given it all to me
Everything I want
All that I desire
Is fulfilled by you, Lord
You captured my heat

Something I’ll Always Need

 I’m amazed at His mercy that covers me
 Since the day that He died on Calvary
 He forgave all my sins and set me free
 His mercy is something that I’ll always need
  
 I’m amazed at His grace that blesses me
 One gift to the next to fill every need
 I do not go hungry and have shoes on my feet
 His grace is something that I’ll always need
  
 I’m amazed at His peace that settles my mind
 I know in the difficult times He is kind
 He helps me to see when my own eyes are blind
 He’s peace is something I need in my mind
  
 I’m amazed at His joy that fills up my heart
 In times of great sorrow His joy will not part
 From the dawn to the dusk each moment will start
 With the joy that is something which never departs
  
 I’m amazed at His love that came down to me
 From the time He was born to when he did bleed
 He showed His great love by His death on a tree
 His great love is something that I’ll always need 
Effective Prayer

Help Me

 Lord I need your mercy
 For the sins I do
 Help me know your love, Lord
 Help me follow you
  
 Lord I need forgiveness
 For my thoughts today
 Help me cleanse my mind, Lord
 Help me find my way
  
 Lord I need your healing
 For my aches and pains
 Help me to believe, Lord
 Help me breathe again
  
 Lord I need compassion
 For all who are in need
 Help me to reach out, Lord
 Help me do good deeds
  
 Lord I need deliverance
 From the mess I’m in
 Help me see your grace, Lord
 Help me rise within 

Fill Me With You

 
  I come to you hungry, Lord 
 Hungry for mercy, Lord
 Hungry for manna from your living word
  
 I come to you thirsty, Lord 
 Thirsty for more of you
 Thirsty for living water of life 
  
 I come to you broken 
 Broken and spilled out
 Please come and fill me
 Fill me with you
  
 More of you Jesus
 More of you Jesus
 More of you Jesus 
 Fill me with you

My Heart Cries Out

 Arise from your slumber
 Awake from your sleep
 The spirit of God is calling
 Seek out His mercy
 Seek out His grace
 The spirit of God is falling
 Falling on all who call out to Him
 Lord hear my heart
 Lord hear my heart
  
 My heart cries out to you
 Lord, hear my prayer
 My heart cries out to you
 Forgive my sin
 My heart cries out to you
 Bring a revival
 Bring a revival to my heart today
  
 I need you now, Lord
 I need you now
 I humbly bow, Lord
 I humbly bow
 I lift your name, Lord
 I lift your name
 Come to me now, Lord
 Come to me now
  
 My heart cries out to you
 Lord, hear my prayer
 My heart cries out to you
 Forgive my sin
 My heart cries out to you
 Bring a revival
 Bring a revival to my heart today

Endless Praise

 I don’t think I can live a day without you
 You have always been there for me, good times or bad
 You have taken my doubts away
 And replaced them with boundless faith
 What a wonderful God you are to me
  
 I have come to know you are always for me
 You have opened my blinded eyes and now I see
 Your word is the path of life
 Your cross was my sacrifice
 What a wonderful God you are to me
  
 I can place all my fears and failures at your altar
 You forgive all of my iniquities
 I can rest in your gentle arms
 Safe from all worldly harm
 What a wonderful God you are to me
  
 I can come to you every time I’m lonely
 Your Holy Spirit will fill me up and comfort me
 You lift me up when I am down
 In you my joy and peace abound
 What a wonderful God you are to me
  
 I will tell everyone about your mercy
 I will tell them you saved my soul from hell’s despair
 You show to me your boundless grace
 I give to you my endless praise
 What a wonderful God you are to me
