Delivered

Out of bondage
Out of pain
Out of darkness
Out of shame

Out of blindness
Out of fear
Out of heartache
Out of tears

Out of sadness
Out of need
Out of chaos
Out of greed

He delivered me
My God delivered me
Upon that tree
He died for me
Yes He delivered me

Into freedom
Into health
Into His light
Into wealth

Into new sight
Into faith
Into blessings
Into grace

Into such joy
Into all
Into His peace
Into full

He delivered me
My God delivered me
Upon that tree
He died for me
Yes He delivered me

Settled

Darkness meets my eyes
As I awaken from my sleep
I thank the Lord for breath
And that my soul He keeps

I rise to greet the morn
As the light begins to show
The pink blush on the clouds
Comes before the rising glow

As I watch the changing colors
At the breaking of the day
I can’t help giving thanks
For this day that He has made

For I know that He’ll be with me
From dawn until the dusk
I’ll  never feel the need
To depend on any luck

When He is with me all that comes
Will only make me strong
For in His arms I’m settled
And to Him I belong

 

In response to the daily prompt Blush

Unbroken

Unbroken peace
He gives to me
Amidst the storm
He calms the sea

Unbroken joy
In darkest night
From deep within
He’s my delight

Unbroken hope
In times of doubt
Whatever comes
He brings me out

Unbroken grace
That flows so free
When I fall down
He pardons me

Unbroken love
Will never fail
I may give up
But He prevails

Unbroken praise
To Christ my Lord
I’ll lift His name
Forevermore

Tried and True

This world is full of wonder
This world is full of life
This world is full of sorrow
This world is full of strife

This world is full of chaos
This world is full of fear
This world is full of friendship
This world has love for me

So many different feelings
Flood our minds each day
We all have to determine
Which path we’re going to take

If you get discouraged
Because you turned aside
Take time to find patience
Within your daily life

You are His creation
His love is tried and true
Keep that promise close
His grace will cover you

Sunday Morning

Sunday morning
I feel fine
I’ve got Jesus on my mind

He’s a real
Friend of mine
He is with me all the time

Gives me joy
Peace of mind
Looks at me with love divine

Hope that keeps
For all time
Home in heaven will be mine

How I love Him so
Jesus Lamb of God
Pardoned all my sin
Wraps me in His arms
Loves me through my faults
Dries my every tear
Calms the storms of life
Calms my every fear

Heals my ills
Soothes my pain
Always near when I should call

Teaches me
Of His ways
Picks me up each time I fall

Urges me
To go on
Even when I’ve hit the wall

Precious thoughts
He has of me
Always keeps me standing tall

How I love Him so
Jesus Lamb of God
Pardoned all my sin
Wraps me in His arms
Loves me through my faults
Dries my every tear
Stills the storms of life
Calms my every fear

Sunday morning
I feel great
I will lift my hands in praise

On the Scheduler’s Time

I used to work in sales, selling little office things
I called on many customers who needed many blings
One place was a hatchery where chicks would incubate
They shipped them round the world before it was too late

The process of the warmer was to let the chicks mature
They had to hatch for shipment on the time of scheduler
They were always ready and the birds arrived on time
McMurray was the name of that customer of mine

The word of God within us is similar in ways
We read it and apply it to help us through our days
Then when the heat is on the word will bring us through
We get delivered at the time that only God did choose

When you are in a hot spot and don’t know what to do
Allow the word of God to rise inside of you
Just when you need encouragement the right verse will be shown
You will find His mercy in the midst of the unknown

Grace Won

Lord I cry to you heal this cold
Coughing and wheezing are growing old
How I need rest from the breathing woes
Pour your grace on me

Lord I plead with you help me sleep
Settle my mind in slumber deep
Help me to find that place of peace
Pour your grace on me

Whatever comes my way
Wherever you may lead
Pour your grace over me
Whenever health returns
However this day be
Pour your grace over me

Lord I beg of you touch my life
Keep me close to you through this night
May I always lift your name high
Pour your grace on me

Then when the morning comes
When this long night is done
I’ll lift your name
I’ll give you praise
For through it all grace won

Whatever comes my way
Wherever you may lead
Pour your grace over me
Whenever health returns
However this day be
Pour your grace over me

Dog Days

I think some dogs look funny
But others say they’re cute
Little ones that seem to fold
A wrinkle in their suit

I guess I’m in my dog days
My wrinkles grow in length
Though I still feel much younger
I found my source of strength

It’s not in what this earth provides
Nor in it’s treasures vast
I get my strength from God above
His truth will always last

So if you find you’re drifting
Into your later years
Without much strength of spirit
I’ll whisper in your ear

Make Jesus Christ your Lord today
He’ll bring you a new life
Then when you need encouragement
His word will come alive

Above This Dying World

Finding out what’s right what’s wrong
Finding out how to be strong
Finding out the ways of God
Learning from the word

Finding out a better way
Finding out more every day
Finding out the words to pray
Learning from the word

The word is truth to guide my path
The word is life that always lasts
The word shows me the way to pass
On pleasures of this world

The word sheds light on giving grace
The word shows me my Saviors face
The word gives me desire to raise
Above this dying world

Now I will give my cares to Him
Now I will have His peace within
Now I will raise a joyful hymn
To Jesus Christ my Lord

Now I will sing a song of praise
Now I will worship hands upraised
Now I will lift my voice always
To Jesus Christ my Lord

Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to I Am
Hallelujah Christ is Him
I will praise His name

Hallelujah let’s adore
Hallelujah Christ is Lord
Hallelujah evermore
I will praise His name

Ease Your Load

The anger I had when I was young
Was nasty and bitter and mean
I’d lash out with words that hurt and bebased
And often I’d say things obscene

Then one day I figured out how wrong I’d been
It’s a day I will never forget
My friend over years did provoke me to change
So I made a move I don’t regret

I asked Jesus to come change my life for the good
I made Him my Savior and Lord
Now my words show His mercy as blessings they give
To all who like kind gentle words

Do you need a change in your life today
Is your anger out of control
Jesus loves you and will answer your call
His blessings will ease your load
