When Tomorrow Comes

Tomorrow is a day. 
We stop to give our thanks
For all the things that bless our earthly lives
We gather with our loved ones
And eat a worthy feast
Remembering all the wonderfully good times

When we give our thanks for family
And those who eat with us
Will we also pray for those we know
Who a close one they have lost?

When we thank God for the meal we eat
So abundant and so good
Will we pray for those who have much less
And perhaps take them some food?

When we give thanks for all the things
That we have been blessed by
Will we pray for those in poverty
That a blessing they will find

When we give thanks to God above
For His salvation plan
Will we pray for those who don’t know Him
And give to them His plan?

When tomorrow comes it’s easy
To give our thanks to God
But this year let’s remember
That’s really not enough

Let’s lift our prayers for others
Who suffer through this day
Let’s lift our hands to help them
With aid along the way

Our blessings weren’t for us to hoard
And save up for some day
They were given so we can give
So let us find a way.

Yes, when tomorrow comes
Let’s break out the Golden Rule
We can change the world this way
By simple acts of love


Praising Through The Pain

Is anyone awake out there?
Can anybody hear?
I sure could use a friend right now
To talk to through my tears.

My back is aching once again
I cannot sleep at all
I took a pain pill hour ago
And I’m afraid I’ll fall

Oh, my God, where are you?
Can you hear my cry?
Why won’t you deliver me?
Why won’t pain subside?

My feet are aching also
It hurts me just to stand
And when I try to walk somewhere
The drop foot seems to land.

The walker helps to get up
And get into my chair
And that is where I sit right now
Not going anywhere

Oh, God, I’m crying out to you
Please heal these pains of mine
I need to know you hear me now
I need you at this time

I will lift my voice in praise
To you, my precious Lord
For you have done so much for me
A fact I can’t ignore

I thank you for your mercy
And I ask you now for more
But even if you leave me here
I’ll worship you, my Lord

I lift your name up high right now
Your glory I proclaim
Your worthy of my worship Lord
Even if my pain remains.

I Just Want To Thank You

I just want to thank you
For all you’ve done for me
I wouldn’t be alive without you
I just want to thank you
For your great love for me
You loved me before I knew you

You give me air to breath
And light so I can see
You keep me on the ground with gravity
You keep my heart beating
You keep my lungs breathing
You keep my body functioning

You place beauty everywhere
Like birds up in the air
They fly majestically everywhere
The trees are beautiful
The sky with clouds are full
The sun comes up and sets as usual

I just want to thank you
For all you’ve done for me
I wouldn’t be alive without you
I just want to thank you
For your great love for me
You loved me before I knew you

And then you sent your Son
Your one and only Son
To come and share your love for me
He taught the masses truth
From elderly to youth
He taught us how think and how to be

And then He gave His life
Became my sacrifice
And from my sin I was set free
He died to conquer sin
And He rose from death again
To give me life eternally

I just want to thank you
For all you’ve done for me
I wouldn’t be alive without you
I just want to thank you
For your great love for me
You loved me before I knew you

The Vine

Lord feed me wisdom 
That I might see
All the injustice
That's all around me
All of the heartache
All of the pain
All of the suffering
All the disdain
Feed me a heart
That will reach out in love
And touch all the broken
So they'll know your love

Lord feed me courage
That I might know
How to change doubt
Into faith that shows
All of the fear
All of the worry
All of the sorrow
All of the hurry
Feed me the strength
To open their eyes
And lead them to you, Lord
So faith will arise

You are the vine
I am the branch
Fill me with love
Give me a chance
To bear you much fruit
As I follow your plan
Tend to my life
With your loving hand

Feed me compassion
So others may see
Your love for them, Lord
Through the life that I lead
All of the joy
All of the peace
All of the grace
All the mercy
Feed me with life
In all that I do
So I can successfully
Lead them to you

And all of the fruit I bear dear Lord
I owe it all to you
It is your loving hand that prunes the branch
To make it bear more fruit
So do with me what you will, dear Lord
To shape and mold this branch
No matter the trial or test that comes
My life it will enhance

You are the vine
I am the branch
Fill me with love
Give me a chance
To bear you much fruit
As I follow your plan
Tend to my life
With your loving hand

It’s Not Up To Me

It’s not up to me
To save a soul
To take their sins
And make them whole
But it is up to me
To tell them of Christ
So that they can accept Him
And change their lives

It’s not up to me
To heal the sick
To take their pain
And help them live
But it is up to me
To help them see
The one who heals
And dries their tears

My task is to tell them of Jesus
And the wonders He’s done for me
To open their eyes to the light of His love
So that they will truly believe

It’s not up to me
To convict of sin
To judge the lost
And purify them
But it is up to me
To witness each day
Of the love of Christ
And to pray and pray

It’s not up to me
To look down on them
Or to think I’m better
Because I have Him
But it is up to me
To love them with all
My heart must go out
To both big and small

My task is to tell them of Jesus
And the wonders He’s done for me
To open their eyes to the light of His love
So that they will truly believe

For I do not know what tomorrow brings
It just might be their last day
I need to tell them of Jesus
And pray, and pray, and pray

I Hear His Name

I hear His name
His Mighty name
It thunders through the sky
The angel chorus
Sings His praise
Hosanna from on high

His name is Healer
With His power
He can heal all pains
Broken hearts
And wounded souls
Arise to live again

His name is Savior
From sins dead grasp
He brings us out of chains
Our sin is washed
As white as snow
He frees us from our shame

His name is Counselor
His word is truth
He guides me every day
His Holy Spirit
Teaches me
To follow in His ways

I hear His name
His Glorious name
His praise flows from my lips
I can’t contain
His mighty name
I long wo worship Him

His name is Jesus
Lord of Lords
And King of Kings is He
His mercy reaches
Down from heaven
And touches even me

His name is Jesus
Friend of mine
He’s always there for me
He lives within me
Every day
He gives me joy and peace
I sing His praise
I sing His name
I love to worship Him
I lift my voice
And lift my hands
With my praise offering

Worthy, worthy
Is the Lamb
Worthy of my praise
I will lift Him
Up today
And praise His mighty name
Grace & Mercy

Merciful Savior

When I begin to think about
What Jesus did for me
I always must remember
The day He set me free

My sins were overwhelming
I couldn’t find my way
I tried so many other things
That just led me astray

But Jesus said He’d rescue me
From the depths of sin
I needed to escape my past
And find some peace within

Oh, what a merciful Savior
Oh, what grace divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus now is mine

So I sat down and prayed a prayer
And asked Him in my heart
There was no doubt He touched me
As I felt Him from the start

From that day on He stayed with me
I grew in His embrace
And now I trust Him every day
To cover me with grace

My heart shouts out His praises
As I lift my voice in song
He’s all I ever needed
With Him I can’t go wrong

Oh, what a merciful Savior
Oh, what grace divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus now is mine


Not Defeated

Solitary
All alone
That will be defeated with my Lord
He is always here inside my heart

Downcast
Hope is lost
That will be defeated with my Lord
He encourages right from the start

When I gave my heart to Jesus
All my doubts and fears He took
He threw them all away
And He told me where to look
He said you’ll find your answers
In the pages of my book

Worried
Faith is weak
That will be defeated with My Lord
He restores my faith when mine is gone

Falling
Strength is gone
That will be defeated with my Lord
He gives me the strength to battle on

I know this world will try me
And will test the faith I claim
But every time I start to fade
I call upon His name
He lifts me up and dusts me off
And then I sing His praise

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Victory is coming from my Lord
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
He gives me the power through His word
I will not be defeated
I will claim
His mighty name
Hallelujah

One Word

If I could say one word to Jesus
What word would it be
What word would summarize
All my Savior means to me
How can a single word take in
His royal majesty
There must be such a word
That I could speak

Amazing.
So Amazing
So Amazing is His love for me
Truly Amazing
Simply Amazing
How Amazing that Jesus would love me

From on His throne in heaven
He looked down to see my plight
And came to earth to die
So that I could have new life
It’s hard to comprehend such love
For such a worm as I
Amazing

If He would grant me one word
Perhaps He’d grant me two
The next word would be just as hard
To think about and choose
My thoughts would wander through a list
Of words that call-in praise
I’d have to find a word
That would live His holy name

Magnificent
So Magnificent
So Magnificent is my Savior’s love for me
Magnificent
Surely Magnificent
Magnificent that He would care enough

He tells me every day
How much He loves me so
He fills me with His peace
And calms my weary soul
The joy that He bestows on me
It lightens up my load
And His Spirit leads the way
Everywhere I go
Magnificen

God Only Wise

Shout to the Lord
Sing out His praise
He is magnificent
In all of His ways

Dance for the Lord
With a heart full of joy
He is Amazing
And, Oh so much more

He formed the earth
Divided the seas
Set up the sun
He created the trees
Brought up the beasts
And birds of the air
Then He made man
His image He shared
And when He was done
He said all was good
Creation was done
It is wonderful

Give to the Lord
All of your praise
Worship His holiness
Lift up His name

Raise up your hands
Lift up your eyes
He is exalted
God only wise

Came down from heaven
Gave up His throne
Suffered and beaten
Left all alone

Forgiving my sin
Washing it white
Filling my life
With His glorious light
Placed in the tomb
Sealed with a stone
Rose up to life
Will soon take me home
Taking my shame
My quilt and my fear
Filled me with peace
He dries every tear

I will rejoice
In Jesus my Lord
Day after day
He’s the one I adore

Forever and ever
I’ll praise His name
For He is worthy
Of all of my praise
