One More Soul

Leave a reply

Come to Jesus
He is waiting
Waiting here to comfort you
Come to Jesus
He is calling
Calling out to rescue you

If you do not know my Savior
If you have not asked Him in
Now’s the time to pray in earnest
Today’s the day to call to Him

Long ago He died to save you
Took your sin upon that cross
You no longer have to worry
Jesus Christ has paid the cost

Listen close this is important
He is waiting just for you
Ask the Savior for forgiveness
Ask the Lord to rescue you

Tell Him that you need His mercy
Tell Him you will follow Him
Thank Him for His great salvation
When that’s done He will come in

He will bring you peace that calms you
He will bring abundant joy
He will fill your heart with His love
You’ll have hope forevermore

A song of praise will rise within you
Hallelujahs fill the air
Angels will rejoice in heaven
One more soul is saved down here

Then you’ll share it with your neighbor
He will see the change in you
He will want to share this blessing
One more soul will be rescued

Come to Jesus
He is waiting
Waiting here to comfort you
Come to Jesus
He is calling
Calling out to rescue you

I Am His Child

5 Replies

I knelt before the Lord today
I bowed my head so I could pray
‘Twas then I heard Him softly say
I love you, son.  You are my child

The words were music to my ears
I closed my eyes and felt my tears
The joy inside my heart was real
I felt His love.  It made me smile

I love you too, Lord.  That you know
I asked you in so long ago
You’ve been with me and helped me grow
I thank you, Lord.  I am your child

My child, you have grown in faith
Now it is time you run the race
Please go tell others of my grace
They need to know my love as well

Yes, Lord.  I will do my part
I’ll go tell them to give their heart
I know you’ve loved them from the start
I’ll testify you love them all

With that I lifted up my praise
To Jesus Christ for His sweet grace
I thanked Him for His love this day
Because I know I am His child

Trembling to Praising

1 Reply

There was a time that I was fearful
Knowing God was watching me
I’d hide from Him and often tremble
Wondering what He’d do with me

But then one day I met the Savior
Learned that He did love me so
All that trembling turned to praising
His sweet name forevermore

You wrap your love around me
Your spirit builds my faith

You help me in my trials
And lead me to escape

I run to your sweet grace, Lord
Where blessings always flow
When I am discouraged

You plant inside of me
It overwhelms my senses
And fills my heart with glee

Running to you, Lord.  Running to you

That never dims or fades
It comes from knowing you, Lord

He Drew Us

Leave a reply

 

Lovingly He sent His Son, His only Son
To die upon that cross at calvary
Lovingly He asked us to accept the One
That from all our sin could set us free.

Lovingly He sought us when we did not know Him
Lovingly He drew us to His side
Lovingly He longed for us to ask Him to come in
So He could set us free and give us life

Heaven Is Waiting

Leave a reply

Your mansion is ready
The streets are all swept
The Light of the city is bright
The angels are singing
The people are gathered
For the moment that you will arrive

There hoping and longing
That soon you’ll be with them
You’ve been apart way to long
But the questions remains
As the days dwindle past
Who will you bring along

Heaven is waiting for you
The crowds are all dressed in white
Find someone today
And show them the way
Take someone to heaven with you

We have been asked to preach
His good news to everyone
So they might believe and be saved
If we’ll just do that task
We’ll have our reward
Find someone who needs His grace

There will be singing
There will be shouting
There will be dancing around the throne
Lots of rejoicing
Loud Hallelujah’s
The day you bring someone else home

Heaven is waiting for you
The crowds are all dressed in white
Find someone today
And show them the way
Take someone to heaven with you

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

You Pull Me Through

I believe in you Lord
I believe in your sovereign grace
There is nothing to hard you cannot do
I believe in you Lord
I believe in your mercy
Every time I have need you pull me through

I’ve had troubles and I’ve had sorrows
You were always there for me
In my deepest darkest hours
I can trust in your love for me

In the times that evil sought me
I just ran into your arms
There you held me ever closely
Kept me safe from fear and harm

I believe in you Lord
I believe you’re my resting place
When I’m tired and alone you’re there for me
I believe in you Lord
I believe you’re my stronghold
When I’m weak and afraid you’ll comfort me

I’ve had sickness over take me
You have healed me every time
I’ve had days that doubt abounded
Then your Spirit spoke new life

Every time I find myself falling to far
You come and pick me up with your strong arm
Every time I can’t find faith
You come with your sweet grace
And bring me back to shelter with your love

I believe in you Lord
I believe in your sovereign grace
There is nothing to hard you cannot do
I believe in you Lord
I believe in your mercy
Every time I have need you pull me through

Keeping Him Around

1 Reply

The last 10 months has been quite a journey
Through the battle we face with cancer
Two stem cell transplants on top of chemo
Has helped to give us some answers

I have to admit that my body is saying
That this has been quite overwhelming
I have also been blessed by a wife at my side
Who has truly been quite amazing

But the biggest thing I have going for me
Is my faith in an Almighty God
Who comforts me day after day with His love
I just know He will not let me down

I have been overwhelmed by the strength He has given
When my strength has hit the ground
I know that my health will one day be whole
As long as I keep Him around

The Matchless Gift

Leave a reply

I remember the day He called to me
In a church so far away
His spirit reached out and captured me
As the altar call was played
But I could not move out of my seat
As I sat with hand up raised
And we left that night before I prayed
To ask Jesus in my heart

Later that week the pastor came
To my friend’s house to see me
He asked if I wanted to pray that prayer
And I told him yes sir please
As I prayed I felt my body chill
And the sweat gushed out if me
I knew that Jesus had come in
And I knew He had touched me

What a wonder
What a Savior
What a matchless gift He gives
What a privilege
What a mystery
How He washed away my sin
I will always have that memory
Of the day He saved my soul
I have never been the same again
As He made my new life whole

I returned back home to my job and friends
But a change had just occurred
And I realized I had to change
I went back to my old church
I counseled with the pastor
And I lent my voice to the choir
But the friends I used to hang with
Were still there to lead me sour

Two years went by and I changed a lot
But the old ways wouldn’t go
I went back out to Iowa
I found a love that God had sown
Two months later I moved out that way
And I married that lady fair
Thirty-eight years later we’re serving God
And I know He’s always there

What a wonder
What a Savior
What a matchless gift He gives
What a privilege
What a mystery
How He washed away my sin

I will always have that memory
Of the day He changed my life
I have never been the same again
Since the day I took my wife
Jesus gave her to me
It’s the best thing He has giv’n
What a wonderful redeemer
He has made this life worth liv’n

What a wonder
What a Savior
What a matchless gift He gives
What a privilege
What a mystery
How He washed away my sin
