Irresistible

He’s irresistible to me

He loved for all to see

He gave His life

A sacrifice 

So we could be set free
It’s unbelievable to know

The grace that He does show

He blesses me

With joy and peace

Beyond what this world knows
Marvelous wonderful Lord 

You are the one I adore

Jesus my loving Savior 

All that I need

All that I need 
It’s inconceivable that He

Continues to love me

When I’m a mess 

He gives His best 

His arms are wrapped all around me
Marvelous wonderful Lord 

You are the one I adore

Jesus my loving Savior 

All that I need

All that I need 
All my desire

All my hearts cry

All my devotion and praise

All goes to Jesus

Wonderful Jesus

To Him my worship is raised
Marvelous wonderful Lord 

You are the one I adore

Jesus my loving Savior 

All that I need

All that I need 

Valuable Time

5 Replies

It seems that my time is fleeting
The day’s gone before it begins
Then when I look back
It seems that I lack
Anything that would last in the end

I observe how my day proceeded
To see if there’s something I missed
The thought came to mind
I did not carve time
To spend with my Savior and Lord

I bow down and make a commitment
That upcoming days I will change
I’ll start out the day
With prayer and with praise
Then my time will have value again

Swift Storms

8 Replies

I watch as ships go sailing by
Waves undulate below them
The crew members are calm and sure
The water tends to soothe them

Storm clouds gather in the west
They travel swiftly eastward
The undulation of the waves
Begins to toss them forward

The swiftness of the storm was fierce
And waves capsized their ship
As far as they were out to see
The ship was not equipped

My life can mimic this short tale
The storms can come upon me
My faith can undulate with doubt
That God will come and save me

But if my faith is placed in Christ
He will equip me daily
He’ll calm the sea and give me peace
When trouble comes to me

All of My Days

My life was not always so joyful
Peace has just recently come
I could not find rest
Until I was blessed
By knowing that Jesus had won

Before I knew Him I was lonely
Forlorn in my sinful ways
His mercy found me
His grace set me free
Now I’ll have Him all of my days

Do you know that Jesus loves you
That He died on the cross for your sins
Ask Him today
To take yours away
Then peace and joy will reign within

The Narrow Way

Leave a reply

I can’t describe the feeling
Of growing close to God
I started at a distance
The way to him seemed broad

But as I traveled further
I found the narrow way
I found myself grow nearer
To Jesus every day

The closer I grew to him
It seemed less like a tunnel
Because the way got tighter
It felt more like a funnel

The light was there to greet me
When I reached His saving grace
Out I came and ready
My friends and foes to face

The journey trough that funnel
Prepared me for this day
So I can share the gospel
And lead folks in his way

He Gives Relief

He’s leading me
Through waters deep
Up mountains steep
His way I’ll keep
He’s leading me

He speaks to me
In still of night
With words of light
Keeps me upright
He speaks to me

Jesus Savior
My Messiah
Always by my side
Jesus, soon and coming King
In Him I abide

He’s here with me
When I am down
He makes no sound
But He’s around
He’s here with me

He comforts me
In times of grief
When joy seems brief
He gives relief
He comforts me

And when the road is hardest
When all hope seems to go
I know that He will see me through
Because He loves me so

Jesus Savior
My Messiah
Always by my side
Jesus, soon and coming King
In Him I abide

Time to Praise

It’s time to praise Him
To Lift our hands up high
Let your voice be heard
Through all the earth

Its time to worship
Our hearts turned to the sky
His glory raised on high
For all to see

For He saved us by His love
He healed us with His blood
He freed us from the sin that ruled our lives
Delivered us from hell
His story we must tell
The world must know of His great sacrifice

It’s time to glorify
The one who gave His life
Our Savior Jesus Christ
Let’s shout and sing

It’s time to honor Him
The Lamb of God was slain
Our victory He gained
We owe Him everything

For He saved us by His love
He healed us with His blood
He freed us from the sin that ruled our lives
Delivered us from hell
His story we must tell
The world must know of His great sacrifice

Worship Him
Worship Him
Lift the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
Worship Him
Worship Him
Lift the name of Jesus Christ our Lord

For He saved us by His love
He healed us with His blood
He freed us from the sin that ruled our lives
Delivered us from hell
His story we must tell
The world must know of His great sacrifice

 

Making Things Right

I cannot avoid the trials in life

I cannot avoid the fight

But I can rely

He’ll be by my side

Whenever the testing begins 
I cannot avoid some sorrow 

I cannot avoid some pain

But I know His plan

He will hold my hand

His joy will return again
Always there for me

Right by my side

Calming me

Keeping me

Making things right

Knowing He loves me

He’ll see me through 

He’ll turn every test for my good
I cannot avoid some people

I cannot avoid their doubt

I can build them up

With kind words of love 

I can help them figure life out
Perhaps they were brought to me

By His great plan

Perhaps I was put here for them

I must take the time

I must help them find 

The God who can bring them through
Always there for me

Right by my side

Calming me

Keeping me

Making things right

Knowing He loves me

He’ll see me through 

He’ll turn every test for my good
