I Need Jesus

I need Jesus
More today than yesterday
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today
I need Jesus
When life takes a turn
And I can’t discern
The path to return
I need Jesus
When sorrow arrives
And I want to hide
From sadness in life
I need Jesus
When peace can’t be found
And troubles abound
And chaos is loud
I need Jesus
When joy goes away
And I have dismal days
When every smile fades
I need Jesus
And every time I call on Him
He’s swiftly by my side
Bringing His sweet mercy and His grace
I know I can depend on Him
To constantly abide
He always gets me back to the right place
My need for Him is more than life
It’s more than breath or blood
My need for Him is deep inside my heart
So give me Jesus every time
The storms of life get rough
And every time He’ll give me a fresh start
I need Jesus
More to today than yesterday
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today
I need Jesus

Take Aim

2 Replies

I cannot imagine life without God

I cannot imagine not knowing His touch

I cannot imagine not knowing His love

I cannot imagine it at all

 

Truth is, I used to be there

Living without God

Living in an aimless life of sin

I didn’t have much hope

In what the future held

And I surely had no lasting peace within

 

But then I met the Savior

Jesus is His name

He gave His life to take away my sin

But more than that He promised

That He’d prepared a plan

So I would not go aimlessly again

 

If your destination

Is not so clear to you

And aimless is your life’s detour

Then why not come to Jesus

And see His plan for you

Take aim at being all He made you for

 

 

Written in reeponse to the Daily Prompt 6-19-2016 Aimless

My Heavenly Father

Leave a reply

I once had a Father on earth

Who I barely knew at all

He left us when I was young

And He hardly ever called

 

We would get a gift at Christmas

And a visit here and there

But through time I grew bitter

And didn’t even care.

 

The anger inside grew mighty

As I reached my teenage years

I got into things angered my mom

And had her often in tears

 

I could not find my way through life

I struggled just to survive

The time had to come to turn around

Or I might take my life

 

Then a friend from a long time ago

Came and told me a story I knew

But He told it in such a different way

I listened and heard the truth

 

I have a heavenly Father

Who loves me very much

A heavenly Father up above

Who came my heart to touch

 

He gave His own son

To die in my place

And covered my sin

With amazing grace

 

His mercy is greater

Than all my shame

He’ll live in my heart

And call me by name

 

And one day he’ll come

And take me home

To a life everlasting

Around His throne

 

I love my heavenly Father

He takes care of all my needs

My heavenly Father

He’ll always be there for me

 

Love Inescapable

Leave a reply
Hard times hit us all
Even happy people fell
Even we have days that cause us harm
But when we get real low
We know just where to go
Back to our Father’s loving arms
He holds His arms out wide
He’s ever at my side
He’s there to pick me up when I fall down
And if I bruise my soul
He heals me ’til I’m whole
And sets my feet on solid ground
He loves me
More than anything
He loves me
So amazing
He loves me
Even when my love grows cold
He loves me
Through my troubled days
He loves me
When I’ve lost my way
He loves me
I cannot escape His love
His grace will cover me
Whenever I’m in need
His blessings come in every size and shape
His mercy overflows
My selfish, prideful soul
And helps those things to quietly escape
His sweet perfection slides
Into this heart of mine
Without me even knowing it’s His hand
And then one day I see
His humility in me
And I realize that this is what He planned
He loves me
He fills me with joy
He loves me
His peace is employed
He loves me
More than I can ever know
He loves me
I will sing His prsise
He loves me
I’ll worship His sweet name
He loves me
I cannot escape His love

 

His Perfection

Leave a reply

I used to try and do it all

Not wondering if wrong or right

But it wasn’t long before I’d fall

And get lost in the fight

 

I wanted to be perfect

To impress all of my friends

But I soon found the difference

To gain any respect

 

Because I can never be perfect

In this human flesh I have

The only chance at that aspect

Is to call on Jesus name

 

Because when He comes to live in me

His Spirit makes me whole

And His perfection dwells in me

Forever in my soul

Again

Leave a reply
Today the Lord had mercy on me
He kept away the enemy
And reminded me that I’m set free
Again
Today the Lord has blessed me much
All day I felt His spirits touch
His presence was around so much
Again
Today His grace filled me with peace
He gave my soul a sweet release
All day I felt calm and at ease
Again
Again and again He’s there for me
He always meets me at me need
He listens to my prayerful pleas
Again, and again, and again
Today He flooded me with love
As vast as all the stars above
And I can know that it will come
Again
Again His mercy will be mine
Again His blessing He’ll assign
Again He’ll give me grace each time
Again
But high above all these great things
The greatest gift that He does bring
Is His great love, of that I’ll sing

 

Again, and again and again

The Celestial City

Leave a reply

I can’t wait to get home to glory

Where my precious Jesus I’ll see

I;ll walk through those pearly gates

And onto the celestial sea

 

Golden streets will welcome my footsteps

Trees of healing will line the street

And I’ll sit at the feast He has made me

And then my Jesus I’ll meet

 

Oh what singing there ll be in that City

The Celestial City of God

All praises to Him will be lifted

I will stand before Him in awe

 

I urge you to make sure your ready

By making Jesus your Lord

And one day you’ll enter to heaven

The Celestial City of God

 

In response to the Daily Prompt City

High Above

Leave a reply
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me
He sends His mercy to my side
Each time I trip and fall
Such mercy is too much for me
I don’t deserve it all
His grace pours blessing in my life
That overwhelms my soul
I can’t contain the gratitude
That He has made me whole
But greatest of the gifts He shows
Is His great love for me
He gave His life upon a cross
That day at Calvary
This love is so amazing
So wonderful and strong
That every moment I’m awake
I sing my worship song
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me

True Worship

Leave a reply

Sometimes Hallelujah does it

Sometimes Praise the Lord

But I find worship not just words

It takes in so much more

 

Jesus said to feed the poor

And help all those in need

This command is just as strong

As praying on our knees

 

He asked us His grace to show

To all we see each day

Yet often when that grace should show

We turn and walk away

 

Jesus said forgive them all

Our enemies and friends

But we hold grudges endlessly

And waste in bitterness

 

When will we learn that kind and gentle

Is our Savors hope?

When will we learn our highest aim

Is the lowest road?

 

When will we learn humility

Is His wish for us?

When will we learn His Spirit’s voice

And in Him put our trust?

 

So come on church lets rise and sing

With voices raised up high

And let’s be servants every time

A need should come on by

Favor Undeserved

You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence
I will worship your sweet name
All the mercy you give
Freely into me, Lord
I do not deserve your love
Mercy that does pardon
All of my transgression
Mercy from your throne above
Then you pour your grace out
Favor undeserved, Lord
Freely you bestow your gifts
I can’t begin to measure
The blessings your grace brings me
Every day they help me live
Finally your love comes
Overwhelms my spirit
That you’d love a wretch like me
I am, oh, so thankful
You would look on me Lord
To wash away my sin and set me free
And soon you will came back
To take me home with thee
And I will praise your name
Through all eternity
You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence
I will worship your sweet name
