I Will Bow My Knee

4 Replies

O’er the mountains grandeur
O’er the fruited plains
O’er the rolling oceans
Jesus always reigns

O’er the swaying treetops
O’er the dawning rays
O’er the painted sunsets
Jesus is His name

King of Kings eternal
Lord of Lords is He
Glorious and mighty
I will bow my knee

I will bow me knee in reverence
I will bow my head in awe
I will bow myself before Him
Jesus Lamb of God

King of Kings eternal
Lord of Lords is He
Victorious Redeemer
I will bow my knee

I will lift my voice in worship
I will lift my heart in praise
I will lift my hands adoring
Jesus is His name

King of Kings eternal
Lord of Lords is He
Worthy of all glory
I will bow my knee

Signs

The storm gathers
The thunder roars
Lightning fills the sky
The wind billows
The air is humid
Amazement fills my eyes

I can see the signs of a thunderstorm
As it travels from afar
I know enough to find shelter
To protect me from its harm

The wars are raging
The earth is groaning
The weather changes fast
The people fighting
The darkness gaining
His time has come at last

These are the signs of His coming
You can see them bright and clear
He’ll soon part the Eastern sky
And meet us in the air

One day the trump will sound
All the saved shall fly away
If you don’t know the Savior
Repent and be saved today

Downright Weird

There used to be a TV show as silly as could be
You often could not figure out just what you’re going to see
From silliness to downright weird they’d throw these skits at you
You’d find yourself just laughing ’cause it was the thing to do

Today we don’t have Laugh-In or any show that’s close
Well maybe He-Haw fits the bill but that’s not what I chose
I’ll choose the joy of Jesus that He gives me everyday
My spirit always can partake of His amazing grace

Forever and a Day

5 Replies

Always is a long time forever and a day
Always stays right with you it never goes away
Always is a promise Jesus gave us way back when
He said I am with you always until the very end

Always takes us further than our minds can fully grasp
Always will be real to you if you will stop and ask
Always says there’s no time that he is not with you
He said I’m with you always His word is always true

Longer then eternity
Longer then all time
Longer than our life on earth
Always He is mine
Longer then the trials that come
Longer than my pain
Always will be with me
Again and again

Today I will remember the promise that He made
That always He is with me His love will never fade
His joy and peace will follow and always they will stay
His mercy will be present surrounding His sweet grace

And when the day is done
And the sun has gone away
I’ll lift my voice up high
And give my Savior praise
For He has done great things for me
When I called on His name
That truth will never change
It will comfort me always

Longer then eternity
Longer then all time
Longer than our life on earth
Always He is mine
Longer then the trials that come
Longer than my pain
Always will be with me
Again and again

Never Cease

I sit a round and marvel how the Lord could love me so
He lavishes His grace on me and makes His blessings flow
I think about the times that I cursed His holy name
I ran from Him a million times and got so far away

In retrospective I can see He never left my side
Throughout those trying years He was protecting my hard life
He knew the plans He had for me though I had not a clue
He patiently stood by knowing one day I’d come through

Now I love to serve Him and lift His holy name
Daily I cry out to Him and give Him all my praise
I thank Him that He loved me when I did not love Him
I’ll never cease to offer up my worship unto Him

Your Great Love

12 Replies

I can’t describe the love you have for me
I can’t describe the mercy that sets me free
Your great love
Is more than enough
To satisfy my wildest dreams

I don’t believe the peace and joy I’ve found
I don’t believe your grace that does abound
Your great love
Is more than enough
To keep my feet on solid ground

Your great love. Your great love
You call to me with open arms
Your great love is more than enough
To always keep me safe from harm

I wonder when I’ll finally see your face
I wonder when I’ll join the angel’s praise
That great day
Is not far away
I’ll celebrate with hands upraised

Your great love. Your great love
You call to me with open arms
Your great love is more than enough
To always keep me safe from harm

Every storm that comes
Every trial that looms
Has to flee and run from your great love
Every turn I take
Every day I wake
You are there to guide with your great love

Your great love. Your great love
You call to me with open arms
Your great love is more than enough
To always keep me safe from harm

Beautiful Morn

Did you see the stars last night
Shining so bright
A beautiful sight

Did you hear the birds sweet song
Flying along
To see the dawn

What a beautiful morn has been given
From God a gift of love
What a glorious way to greet us
As we rise and look above

Have you lifted up your voice
Let us rejoice
Let us rejoice

Lift your eyes to se His face
Giving Him praise
Giving Him praise

What a beautiful morn has been given
From God a gift of love
What a glorious way to greet us
As we rise and look above

Wonder of wonders is all around
Beckoning us to see
How much He wants us to live life
Full of grace and peace

What a beautiful morn has been given
From God a gift of love
What a glorious way to greet us
As we rise and look above

Earned Freedom

2 Replies

When he came home he was weary
Tired of the jungle’s heat
Tired of the sound of gun shots
Ringing in His ear

He walked onto this soil that day
Hoping a greeting awaits
All he got was shouting
No ceremony played

They gave themselves completely
Getting little in return
Except the pride of knowing
Our freedom they did earn.

Today we honor those who died
To keep our freedom strong
Let’s not forget those veterans
Who suffer their whole lives long

I wait for you
In the quiet of the night
I wait for you
In the morning’s early light
I wait for you
I wait for you

I wait for you
When my life is getting hard
I wait for you
When don’t feel like your child
I wait for you
I wait for you

Because I know that you are near me
I know you always hear me
When I pray out to you
Because I know that you will answer
I know you are my Savior
I will wait
You won’t be late

I wait for you
Your presence I desire
I wait for you
‘Til the daylight turns to night
I wait for you
I wait for you

You always show up right on time
You bring with you your love divine
The answer comes I know it’s mine
You never will be late

Because I know that you are near me
I know you always hear me
When I pray out to you
Because I know that you will answer
I know you are my Savior
I will wait
You won’t be late

Names Will Fall

1 Reply

Certain people come to mind at certain times of year
Basketball is king right now because the playoffs here
The names of certain players just ring inside our ear
We think of them as stars so big and bright

At other times it’s football, maybe baseball takes the stage
All through the year it seems we gawk at just another page
When our team loses some go wild and fall into a rage
Because their stars did not shine such a light

The news men called them famous and lift them up so high
I just wonder when we all will question them with why
Why should they be famous when in just a few years time
They soon will vanish and their names will fall

The famous one came long ago to take away our sin
Their is no name so mighty as the Son who dwells within
No one will ever reach the height of majesty like Him
Jesus the most famous one of all
