Jesus Will Carry You

Leave a reply

When life’s got you down

And you feel out of place

Jesus will carry you

If you just feel alone

And your losing the race

Jesus will carry you

 

He’ll carry you through your trials

He’ll carry you through your storm

He’ll carry you through the valley

When everything seems to do harm

He’ll carry you into tomorrow

And He’ll stay right there by your side

Because He promised He’d never forsake you

And His promises always abide

 

So don’t get all down

And don;t be dismayed

Jesus will carry you

And when it’s all over

And your back on your feet

You can thank Him for carrying you

Get Busy

“What is your will, Lord” I asked Him today
As I knelt down this morning and started to pray
I want to know that I’ll walk in your way
For all the days of my life

“My will is that all will come to know me
Go into all of the world is my plea
Preaching the gospel and setting them free
My will has never changed ”

I bowed my head as I knew I’d done less
I hadn’t been doing His work to my best
And still He had seen that my life was blessed
I praised Him for His sweet grace

He said “Son, I am pleased with your life at this time

You have done a great work, many souls are now mine

Never believe that your light has not shined

Your testimony is sure”

 

“But I know there’s so much more I can do

To bring others along so they can know you

And save them from lives of eternal doom

Why have I been so laid back?”

 

I heard Him smile as He said “That is past

Remember the future is mine, and it lasts

So start today and give me your best

Get busy and preach the word”

 

Lack of confusion

Leave a reply

I am not one to boast or brag

I used to and life was such a drag

I thought I knew just about everything

And I let people know it with plenty of zing

 

But one da y I learned that I was confused

About what was important when life is diffused

It’s now what I know in my head that stands tall

It’s what’s in my heart that matters at all

 

So now I am quieter day after day

I realize I don’t really know what to say

Except to say Jesus is really the way

To end your confusion today

Uncomplicated Life

Life can be so complicated

When I try it on my own

The decisions that I make can be so wrong

 

I find that I am drowning

In a sea of fear and doubt

And I’m always learning that I’m not that strong

 

But with Jesus in my life

I can walk in confidence

That He will bring me through my various tests

And all my fears and doubts

Are dwarfed by His great love

I find that He makes me be at my best

Special to God

Leave a reply

I can’t imagine

A world without horses

Or dogs and cats

Or sharks and bass

I can’t imagine

A world without oceans

or rivers and streams

Or ponds and lakes

I can’t imagine

A sky without stars

Or sun and moon

Or clouds

All these things that God created

By His spoken word

For our pleasure

He provided for us before he even created us

Before He formed us from the dust of the earth

Before He breathed into us the breath of life

He formed us with His hands

All other things were spoken into existence

He still holds us in the palm of His hand

And He loves us above all His creation

We are special to God

You are special to God

Christ Alone

Awaken, my soul, and sing
To Jesus Christ my King
My voice will raise
To sing His praise
Let loud hosannas ring

Arise, my spirit, arise
Let my worship fill the skies
I will proclaim
His mighty name
Until my spirit dies

For He alone is worthy of the praises that I bring
He alone deserves to have my worship offering
Only Jesus will receive the words that I will sing
Christ alone.  Yes Christ alone.

Come alive, my heart, come alive                                                                                                                                                                                                             As I lift up my voice on high                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I’ll worship the King                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 His praises I’ll bring                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     As I offer to Him my life

Open my eyes to see your face                                                                                                                                                                                                             Open my ears to hear                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Open my heart to receive your sweet grace                                                                                                                                                                                                   So that I might be free to draw near

Hidden

Leave a reply

I see so many Christians

(Or at least that’s what they say)

Who profess that Jesus is their Lord

But they live a different way

On the surface they look very good

And they fool me quite a bit

But underneath and in their heart

They really don’t have it.

 

They gossip of their neighbors

And do honof them

They tear apart the pastor

When they should pray for him

Their ways are full of sinful things

When Christ asks righteousness

And often they complain and gripe

When they are oh so blessed

 

Hidden is humility

Pride is on display

Hidden is forgiveness

Anger comes each day

Hidden is compassion

They just walk on by

Hidden is their love for God

They just don’t testify

 

I pray today that you are not

One who hides their faith

That you are not ashamed to say

That Jesus is the way.

All is Well

2 Replies

It is well with my spirit
It is well with my Lord
I’ve been washed in the blood
I have been restored
A home in heaven
Will be my reward
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

It is well with my body
I am healed throughout
By the stripes on his back
Healing came about
And each day when I wake up
I will sing and shout
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

It is well in my mind
There’s no doubt or fear
For the thorns on His brow
Left His peace in there
And the faith I now have
Gives me cause to cheer
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

All is we all the time
When I have His grace
All is well all the time
When His mercy reigns
I can’t wait for the day
When I see His face
I’m in love,  I’m in love
With my Lord

It is well with my life
Since the day I prayed
Asking Jesus to hear me
So that I’d be saved
Now I know He is with me
Each and every day
All is well,  all is well
With my Lord

 

All is well, all is well
With my Lord all the time
He has given me love
He has given me live
I will follow Him
All the days if my life
All is well, all is well
With my Lord

Heavens Door

I went through life when I was young

Aimlessly at best

Drugs and booze and sex  were found

And sober was a test

I thought I loved the life I lived

But one day realized

That all the things that I believed

Would soon turn into lies

 

Maybe if I’d turned away

From all the party life

And maybe if I’d told the truth

Instead of telling lies

And maybe if hadn’t stolen

Things throughout’t my life

I’d have a home in heaven

And things would be all right

 

But then I learned there’s just one way

To get through heaven’s door

Acepting Jesus as my Savior

Gets me there for sure

There are no maybes in Gods word

His promises endure

So ask Him in your heart today

And heaven will be yours
