Go

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”

What Love

Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Sent to us from high above
Left His royal throne in heaven
Just to show us His great love

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus
Child in a manger lay
Shepherds came and bowed before Him
Nestled in the stables’ hay

What love, what unspeakable love
Jesus has for me
What love, what amazing love
That He would die for me

Oh, amazing love of Jesus
Walked this earth for three short years
Healing, teaching touching lives
All to show us how God cares

Oh, the selfless love of Jesus
Gave His body up for me
Beaten, bruised and crucified
Took my sin and set me free

What love, what unspeakable love
Jesus has for me
What love, what amazing love
That He would die for me

Oh, eternal love of Jesus
Buried in a borrowed tomb
Rose again and now He’s living
Giving me a life with Him

His love is eternal
His love is amazing
His love is compassionate
Meets my every need
His love is for everyone
He waits for you to ask Him
Lord please come into my heart
Make me new today

What love, what unspeakable love
Jesus has for me
What love, what amazing love
That He would die for me

Constantly Abiding

Constantly abiding
In Him I will stay
Bask in His love
Follow His way
Never to leave
His precious side
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

Amazing grace
He’s given to me
Paid all me debt
Then set me free
Out of the darkness
Into the light
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

The Old Rugged Cross
Is a vision of love
Total redemption
Sent from above
His precious blood
Shed there for mine
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

Great is His faithfulness
He’s always there
Sunrise to sunset
Answer my prayers
He walks beside me
In Him I’ll abide
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

It is well with my soul
When I call Him Lord
He is my Savior
Whom I adore
He gives me peace
When the world gives me strife
He is my Lord
My love and my life.

Just as I am
He accepts me each day
I’ll never be worthy
Of His awesome grace
He looks beyond
The flaws in my life
He is my Lord
My love and my life.






The Source

When I thirst I need a fountain
When I am sad I need more joy
When I'm in turmoil peace will comfort me
When I have doubts I turn to faith
When I seem lost I can't lose hope
When I feel down, love is what I need

There are times my life gets dry and hard
I just wallow in the dust
It is in these times the living water flows
You’re my source for strength in battle
As you quench my thirsting soul
I can feel the Holy Spirit in me grow

When life brings situations
That bring sadness to my life
I can count on you for overwhelming joy
You’re my source for inspiration
When the burden gets to hard
I can count on you to make my spirit soar

In days of great confusion
When I don’t know where to turn
I know that your sweet peace will comfort me
You’re my source for calm assurance
That all things will turn out good
And I’ll rest in the abundance of your peace

There are times my doubts take over
And I wonder where to turn
Then I read your word and faith is lifted high
You’re my source for truth and wisdom
In the times I trust my flesh
You renew the faith that gives eternal life

In this world of greed and power
It is easy to get turned
From the hope you have instilled within my heart
You’re my source for all the future
I can know heaven’s my home
And forever my abode will not depart

Your love is so amazing
Your love is so divine
It sought me out when I was full of sin
You’re me source for loving others
The way that you loved me
Help me, Lord, to keep your love within

I Lift My Voice

Seated on the throne in heaven

I’ll lift Him up.

I sing precious is the Lord

Gave His life for mine because He loves me
Precious is the Lord
Precious is the Lord
Highest sacrifice
He is precious

I lift my voice
In highest praise
To Jesus Christ
And His sweet name
Emmanuel
He’s God with us
I’ll lift Him up
I’ll lift Him up.

Effective Prayer

You’re Welcome

There are so many times
I say Thank You Lord
For the wonderful things you have done
But oft I'm so busy
Giving Him thanks
That I don't listen to His response

I think, if I’d listen
To hear His soft voice
The words He would say would be clear
He would once again
Tell me of His great love
As He whispers these words in my ear

Your welcome to my peace
More peace then you’ve ever known
I’ll shower it on you each day
So you’ll never feel alone

Your welcome to my joy
That bubbles up from deep within
Though trials may come in your life
My joy will help you to win

Your welcome to my healing
For sickness and heartache and pain
You no longer have to suffer
My healing will touch you again

Your welcome to my mercy
I extend it to you each day
I paid the punishment for your sin
So you can be free from your shame

Your welcome to my grace
I desire to bless you so much
By faith take the gifts that I give you
Allow me your life to touch

I feel He would go on and on
Welcoming me to His love
The list of His blessings is endless
He showers them down from above

So the next time I thank Him, I’ll listen
To see if these words He will say
And then I will take time to praise Him
Day after day after day


Prayer

If you want to touch God
Each and every day
Then all you have to do is pray
If you want to reach Jesus
Each and every day
Then all you have to do is pray

It’s really not too difficult
Or hard to comprehend
Just talk to Him like any other friend
He’s always got an ear
Open to your heartfelt words
He will listen close to every prayer you send

Prayer is the answer
To every earthly need
It’s the way to move the heavens and the earth
Prayer is the weapon
God has given us to use
Whenever there’s a need that we observe

Prayer heals the sick
Prayer frees the captive
Prayer casts out demons
Prayer brings the victory
Prayer grows our faith
Prayer builds the church

More powerful than lightning
More effective than attack
Prayer stops the enemy cold
So easy to accomplish
So successful to employ
Prayer is a weapon that is bold

Let’s band together church
And really make a difference
Let’s take back this world the devil stole away
Just find a quiet place
And take a little time
To sit before the Lord and pray

Life Renewed

I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
You have heard the Savors call
You have finally made the choice

There are so many things
That will now come about
Your life will be different
There is not any doubt

He’ll first give you peace
More than you’ve ever known
It will fill up your soul
And then it will grow

Next is the awesome joy
That comes up out of your heart
It is so much more than the happiness
This world can barely impart

Then there’s the hope of tomorrow
Knowing His plans are all good
And our heavenly home awaits us
That is clearly understood

You then start to see His mercy
Intervening in trials and tests
You realize He’s there with you
And He never, ever rests

Then His grace becomes part of us
And we gain the desire to forgive
And our heart reaches out to the lost
As we beg them to be saved and live

Finally His love rises deep from within
A love greater than man ever knew
It compels us to reach out to all that we know
And try to give them life renewed

The radical change that takes place
When we make Jesus our Lord
Is only a starting point in our lives
A time to give others that choice.


Prophecy

All throughout time
God’s sovereign grace
Has kept us close
To His dear face

He gives us blessings
Undeserved
And show us how
Pour friends to serve

He pampers us
With peace and joy
And many other
Gifts employs

But with all this grace
There’s one more thing
That must be trusted
If we’re to win

Because future lies
In prophecy
And Only comes
By His mercy

Awesome Grace

I can't imagine
What God will do today
Every day is a new miracle
When I trust His way

Nobody ever knows
The blessings that will come
When I yield to His spirit
And trust in His love

Today might bring trials
That challenge my faith
Designed so I'll run
To His awesome grace

Sickness may come
In the midst of the night
Will I trust on His healing?
To end my plight?

Friends might desert me
And ruin my name
It's then I need Jesus
To weather the pain

Days are not always
Blessings and joy
There are times in the valley
When we need to grow

So God allows these things
To strengthen our faith
If we’ll only just trust
In His awesome grace
