My Past Has Passed

2 Replies

Your love is more than I can fathom
Your hope is way beyond compare
I can’t imagine why you chose to save me
When all I did was mock your name

When I fall into sin you send mercy 
When trials come around you lend grace
I see your hand surround me when I wander
And gently lead me back to your embrace

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I have been blessed by the joy that you give

It overwhelms me each day that I live

Your peace is a river that flows slow and free

I am so thankful that you have blessed me

 

When sickness of pain should enter my life

I know that you’ll heal me in your chosen time

And if I should lose someone real close to me

I know that your spirit will comfort my grief

You see my future.  I see my past 
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future.  My past has passed

I can’t praise you enough for what you have done

Or for what you are going to do

So I yield control to your marvelous plan

And I lift my worship to you

Now I Can See

I can see, I can see said the blind man

As he wiped the mud out of His eyes

He’d been touched by a man whom he did not know

And His sight was now fully realized

He cried where is the man who touched me?

Jesus came up and stood by him

He said I am the one who brought back your sight

Will you now give witness to me?

 

The man looked at Jesus and smiled

He said surely I’ll ell the whole world

Because I was just blind and now I can see

Just help me to speak the right words

Jesus told him to just tell his story

Of how he’d received his sight

And the man went his way as a witness for Christ

Sharing with all of his might.

I heard God Calling

In a voice sweet and low

He said “Child, you are ready

It’s time that you go

You’ve studied and prayed

That the harvest would come

So go out today

And touch everyone.

 

Hope for despair

Joy for their sorrow

Peace in the storms

Through all their tomorrows

 

Deliver the captive

Give sight to the blind

Bind up the demons

And cast them aside

 

Cleansing for lepers

Words for the dumb

Strength for their weakness

Heal everyone

 

Faith for the doubters

Forgive all their sin

Calm down their minds

Bring solace within

 

On top of all that

Show mercy each day

Give them my love

Teach them my ways

 

And treat everyone

With unrestrained grace

Never be harsh

Fill them with praise

 

And when you have done

All the things I have said

Then people will listen

And souls will be saved”

Riots in the street

Mass murderers multiplying

Corruption in politics

Moral values declining

Where is it all leading?

 

Church is not important

But party and getting high are

What was taboo is now protected

A pure life won’t get you far

Where is it all leading?

 

The end is now near

To me is quite obvious

There are many out there

Who are so oblivious

 

The bible is clear

When times like these come

Our Lord will appear

And take the saints home

 

Will you be among

Those taken away

Or will you be left out

With all those who stay?

I remember when I found the love of Jesus

He came and washed my sins away

And ever since that day

I have found a way

To give Him all the praise that I can give

 

His mercy covers me when I am falling

His grace is so amazing and so free

I took Him as my Lord

It’s Him who I adore

So let’s all lift our praise in one accord

 

Worthy is the Lord, worthy is the Lord

Worthy is the Lord our God

Faithful to the end

He’s our blessed friend

Worthy is the Lord our God

 

Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord

Holy is the Lord our God

His majesty supreme

So wonderful to me­­

Holy is the Lord our God

 

Each day I lift my praise to heaven

I just can’t worship Him enough

I’ll praise all may days

With all my words of praise

I’ll shout it from the mountaintop

 

Worthy is the Lord, worthy is the Lord

Worthy is the Lord our God

Faithful to the end

He’s our blessed friend

Worthy is the Lord our God

 

Jesus is the Lord, Jesus is the Lord

Jesus is He Lord our God

He’s our eternal friend

Forever and amen

Jesus is the Lord our God

All Our Days

In this life that just keeps turning

People want to keep on learning

Their hearts are always yearning

For the truth

 

As knowledge just keeps growing

We have some trouble knowing

When the truth is really showing

In the news

 

There is one truth that’s abiding

And it never will go hiding

God’s love is overriding

Of our ways

 

And if we will trust His mercy

That He sent to us at Calv’ry

We can live a life that’s set free

All our days

Tell Them

Today the Lord was calling in a voice so sweet and low

He said “Son, there’s something special that everyone should know.

It’s really not a secret.  It’s written in my book.

But there are way too many who never take a look.”

 

I asked the Lord how I could help to get to everyone

This world is so enormous.  I’d never get it done

He said “My child it’s simple, just start with that one there

And one by one you will surely make this world aware.

 

So I said “I’ll do it Lord, I’ll take your message out

I’ll speak it in the marketplace.  I’ll travel all about.

Just let me know the words that I should share today”

And then I heard His gentle voice say

 

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love

Tell them I love them, and I want them here above

I sent my Son to take their place

They’re covered by my endless grace

Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

 

I said “My Lord, I know it’s true that you have love for me

This world is very skeptical because of what they see

The violence and suff’ring seem to get worse every day

There’s many who blame you for this – then what should I say.”

 

“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love

Tell them I love them, and I want them here above

I sent my Son to take their place

They’re covered by my endless grace

Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”

 

And then He whispered in my ear that many just don’t know

Because we’ve turned our churches into places for a show

The truth that they must make the choice of heaven or of hell

Is something that few preachers are still willing to tell

 

He said “I need the laborers to get out in the field

The harvest is awaiting, and they need someone real

To tell them of this love I have for every single one

I’ve done all that I can do – I sent my only Son”

 

Okay, I got the message Lord, the gospel is enough

I’ll go out into all the world and tell them of your love

That Jesus died to take our sins and wash them all away

That message is more powerful than any words I say

 

I’ll tell them that you love them with an everlasting love

I’ll tell them that you love them, and you want them up above

You sent your Son to take their place

They’re covered by your endless grace

I’ll tell them that you love them, and that should be enough”

Age Does Not Matter

I used to think when I as young that fifty was real old

And now that I am old I think that fifty is quite young

And in that spam of time that’s gone between these years of mine

I’ve come to realize one simple truth

 

It matters not to God if you are young or if you’re old

In His blessed word we see His handiwork unfold

On people of all ages, from seven  to one hundred

A willing heart is all He needs to have

 

So open up your heart today and let the Savior in

Let God have His way with you and a journey will begin

He will take you places that you’ve never been before

Because age does not matter with God

Wondrous God

Can I get a witness for our God most high

Who set the world in motion from beyond the sky

He made this lovely planet just for you and I

Oh what a wondrous God we serve

 

Wonderful He is to me

Wondrous God we serve

Sent His Son to Calvary

His grace I don’t deserve

Now He watches over me

His blessings are reserved

I can’t worship Him enough

Wondrous God we serve

 

Can I get a witness for the Son who came

To die a beggar’s death to take my sin and shame

Then He rose to heaven.  He’s alive again

Oh what a wondrous God we serve

 

Marvelous He is to me

Wondrous God we serve

Mercy flowing wide and free

None that I deserve

His great love surrounds me

Even when I swerve

I can’t worship Him enough

Wondrous God we serve

 

Can I get a witness for the Holy Ghost

Who guides us every day if the Son we chose

He guides us to the truth, keeps us on our toes

Oh what a wondrous God we serve

 

I will lift His name on high

I’ll shout it out to all the sky

And share it with the passers-by

What a wondrous God

I’ll live for Him all of my days

And do my best to show His ways

To all who I may reach each day

What a wondrous God

 

Wonderful He is to me

Wondrous God we serve

Sent His Son to Calvary

His grace I don’t deserve

Now He watches over me

His blessings are reserved

I can’t worship Him enough

Wondrous God we serve

Life is Not a Game

We hear familiar music on the TV every day

Of a game show that so many love to play

People wager what they’ve won as they try to guess the clues

And every time they answer they’re in jeopordy to lose

 

It’s fun to play along on this trivial pursuit

In fact the board games really are a hoot

Simple fun can be a way to come together with your friends

And create a bond that opens up a door to let you in

 

So take advantage of those times when gathering together

And find out if their lives are jeopardized forever

Or if they have met Jesus and are now bound up for heaven

Please don’t let that moment pass you by.
