No One Else

Leave a reply 
No one cares for me like you
No one loves me like you do
No one else can see me through the storms and trials in my life
No one else but you

No one else can give me peace
No one else brings victory
No one else has paid the price to ransom me from my sin
No one else but you

I will praise no one else but you
I will honor no one else but you
I will worship no one else but you
Jesus

I will lift my hands to no one else
I will give my heart to no one else
I will give myself to no one else
No one else but you

Jesus Calls to You

2 Replies 
At any time, in any season
For any cause, for any reason
You’ll hear His voice if you will listen
Jesus calls to you

When you’ re up or when you’re weary
When you’re sad or when your cheery
When your glad or when you’re dreary
Jesus calls to you

In summer, winter, fall and spring
His voice will tell you many things
And only blessing it will bring
Jesus calls to you

It’s not a voice that’s loud and low
But when you hear it you will know
That you have purpose here below
Jesus calls to you

Please open up your ears today
During work or during play
He will guide you in His way
Jesus calls to you

The Words of My Praise

Leave a reply 
It’s hard for me to put into words what Jesus means to me
Everything that I write seems too small to declare His majesty
I come to Him each morning and I get down on my knees
Seeking to hear what He would say to me

Then one by one He gives me the lines and tells me to write them down
I really don’t know what the next words will be or how the rhyme will sound
I just start to type and it seems that He guides my fingers as words abound
Early in the morning when no one is around

These are His words, these are His story
This is my journal of what the Lord says
Giving Him honor, giving Him glory
These are the words of my praise

When it is finished and the poem is done, I hear Him say thank you to me
I say “Dear Lord, this is not my work.  I don’t deserve credit for these”
He says, “My son, please know how much I appreciate that you listen to me.
For I talk to many who don’t have an ear to hear.”

So, I slowly put down my fingers and I say a little prayer
For all of you who He’s speaking to but really don’t open your ears
It’s time for the children of God to arise and show themselves strong in these years
Make Him the Lord of your life and share what you hear

These are His words, these are His story
This is my journal of what the Lord says
Giving Him honor, giving Him glory
These are the words of my praise

The Giver of Life

Leave a reply 
He gives hope to the hopeless
Peace to the restless
Faith for the faithless
Love to the worthless

He gives light in the darkness
Strength for my weakness
Joy for my sadness
Health for my sickness

He’s the giver of life to all who are lost
He paid my price as He hung on the cross
The shame and the pain He bore for me
Taking my sin and setting me free

Oh, what a wonderful Savior
Oh, what mercy divine
Oh, what grace so amazing
Jesus is mine, Jesus is mine
Jesus is mine.  Jesus is mine

So, I will lift up my hands and praise Him
Praise Him, praise Him
I will lift up my heart and worship
Worship Christ the King

One Wish

Leave a reply 
If I had one wish to wish, what would it be
In this world that’s full of so much misery
What could I say
That would turn night to day
What wish would bring light to the streets

I could wish for joy that would fill every soul
I could wish for peace that would calm every storm
But is either enough
To bring hope to us
When our spirits are troubled and torn

I think I would wish that Jesus
Would calm every weary soul
I think I would wish that Jesus
Would make every spirit whole
I think I would wish that Jesus
Would take every sin away
That He’d turn my night into day
Then I realize He already did.  He already did.

After all this consideration
I can think of one wish for all nations
That He’d open their eyes
They’d look up to the skies
Lifting praise in great adoration

Jesus is our wish come true
He died on the cross for you
Then He rose to give eternal life
Ask Him now to come live inside

Then this wish for joy would come true
This wish for peace would find you
This wish would bring light and truth
This wish would rescue you

He’s not a wish, He is yours
Open your heart to the Lord
Let His spirit be your reward
Ask Jesus to rescue your soul

First Blood

Leave a reply 
He was in agony
In the garden of Gethsemane
Bowing His head, down on His knees
The first blood He shed was in prayer
The perfect sacrifice
Not a blemish or a scar
Ready to pay the ultimate price
The first blood He shed was in prayer
They beat Him and mocked Him
Spit in His face
In a trial that broke all their laws
They whipped Him and scourged Him
And crowned Him with thorns
Blood unceasingly dripped to the ground
The made Him carry His cross up a hill
Where beggars and thieves came to die
The drove nails
Through His hands and feet
As they hung Him on that cross
The agony there was when sin entered in
The Father had left Him alone
He never had felt the pain of sin
As His blood quickly seeped in the ground
He had never hurt anyone, never said wrong
Yet He died the most ungodly way
Yet with all of the blond that he shed that day
The first blood He shed was in prayer
Let us never forget the price that He paid
And the blood that was shed that day
But ponder on the significance
That the first blood He shed was in prayer

Can I Get A Witness?

Leave a reply 
Can I get a witness of amazing Grace?
Has He set your feet in a higher place?
Do you long each day to see his face?
Can I get a witness of amazing Grace?

Can I hear a testimony of His love?
Has He touched your heart from His throne above?
Do you have compassion that hugs everyone?
Can I hear a testimony of His love?

Shout it from the mountain top. Let your voice be raised
Jesus Christ is Lord of all, worthy of our praise
Tell the whole world of His love. Witness every day
He redeemed me for all time, washed my sins away

Can you tell your neighbor of His sacrifice?
How he bled and died to give eternal life?
How He washed away their sin by taking stripes?
Can you tell your neighbor of His sacrifice?

Don't be silent any longer.
Don't be fearful of their doubt
Lift your voice and tell His story.
Make Him known so they'll find out
There's a Savior waiting for them.
Jesus is His mighty name
He is knocking at their heart now.
Help them lift their voice in praise

Shout it from the mountain top. Let your voice be raised
Jesus Christ is Lord of all, worthy of our praise
Tell the whole world of His love. Witness every day
He redeemed me for all time, washed my sins away

What More Could I Want

Leave a reply 
Out of darkness.  Out of night.
Out of blindness into light.
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

Out of sickness.  Out of pain.
Into healing once again.
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

CHORUS
How He loves me. How He loves me. Jesus loves me this I know.
How He loves me.  How He saved me. For the Bible tells me so

Out of trials into peace.
Out of sorrow, joy released
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

CHORUS

BRIDGE
He gives me beauty for ashes and a garment of praise
He gives me mercy unending and a mountain of grace
He gives me hope for tomorrow and a heart full of faith
What more could I want?  What more could I want?
What more could I want from Him?

Great Disgrace

Leave a reply 
What else can I do but be myself
I cannot just copy somebody else
I have to rely on what the Lord has given me

But I often I think this life is hard
I try to pretend that I am smart
And now I am falling hard and no one will rescue me

Help me to see the path that I have walked
Help me to learn the voice that leads me to the dark
Help me to leave my foolish pride behind admitting my mistakes
And humbly bow before your throne in great disgrace

Have mercy, Lord, on me
I bow down at your feet and humbly plea
I didn’t listen.  I wasn’t wise
I could not see the enemy’s eyes
Have mercy, precious Lord, on me

Now I know what to do with this mess
I come to you now and I confess
Greed and alluring talk of grandeur led me astray

I will walk out of my despair
I will come up and small the air
You shine a light along my path to show me the way

You help me see the path that I have walked
You help me learn the voice that led me to the dark
You help me leave my foolish pride behind and look on up ahead
There you await with open arms and calm my fear

Have mercy, Lord on me
I bow down at your feet and humbly plea
I will now listen.  I’ll open my eyes
I will turn to you to help me be wise
Have mercy, precious Lord, on me

Hallelujah to the Risen One

Leave a reply 
I don’t know why I can be taken for a ride
Why do I let the enemy come into my life
He comes to steal, kill and destroy
I find myself as helpless as a little boy

I don’t know how I get myself into this mess
When I have a Savior who says I will be blessed
I need to walk into the arms of my Lord and King
For only he can save me from the death I’m in

What a Savior.  What a friend
What a comforter His Spirit is
What a joy to be in the presence of the King
I lift my voice and His praises I sing

Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!
Blessed Jesus, Son of God.  Hallelujah to the risen one
