Start With Praise

2 Replies
If you want to have
A great day
I suggest that you
Start with praise
God is worthy of
Every word you have to say
Maybe music is
What you need
To get out of bed
On your feet
Set your radio
So your heart awakes to beat
Because praise will
Lift your spirit
Worship will
calm your worries
Putting Him first
Will bring you peace
So put your
Whole heart in it
Don’t let your world
Or your duties
Crowd out the praise
That puts your mind at ease
Singing Hallelujahs
Glory to the King
Hallelujahs
Lord of Everything
Glory,  glory
Savior of the world
Glory, glory
Giver of the word
Holy, holy
Perfect sacrifice
Holy, holy
Died to give me life
Loud Hosannas
Rose again that day
Loud Hosannas
Gave us power to pray
So many ways to praise Him
So many things He’s done
So don’t forget to start each day

 

By singing of His love!

Before the Light

Leave a reply

So very long ago

Our whole earth was void

Darkness filled each crevice and the air

But God said Light appear

And darkness had to flee

As in the light the darkness disappears

 

We all are born in darkness

just like this little earth

And slowly light is added as we grow

Learning brings us knowledge

And knowledge brings us light

And on those subjects darkness has to go

 

But essentially the main thing

Is to shed the light on our sin

So darkness doesn’t rule our hearts and souls

Jesus is the only Light

That can win this darkness fight

We must apply His blood by faith and we will know

 

Jesus is the Light

That God spoke into Darkness

Way back in the book of Genesis

Before the sun and moon

And even the stars above

This Light became the light of the world

 

And still today He shines

Forgivigs all mankind

If they will simply ask Him in their hearts

So free yourself from Sin

and Ask Him to come in

And let His light be shown into your heart

Words From My Savior

Leave a reply

I open my eyes

And what do I see

My Blessed Savior

Looking at me

 

A smile on His face

His eyes open wide

He takes hold of my hand

And sits down at my side

 

“Hello Son” He says slowly

“I’ve so much to say

I want to guide you

Through all of your days.

 

I want to tell you

Of my wondrous plans

Drawn up I’m heaven

They’ll help you to stand

 

You see, trials will come

And sorrows you’ll know

These things are a part

Of what makes you grow

 

There’ll even be times

You’ll be sick or in pain

But what I allow

Is there for your gain

 

The problem that comes

And you don’t understand

Is that you think these things

Are not in my plan.

 

I implore you, my son

When you take time to.pray

That you also take time

To listen each day

 

So often you fill

Your prayers up with words

That you can’t hear me speaking

My soft, gentle words

 

In my words are your comfort

Your peace and your joy

So.please don’t miss out

Take time to enjoy

 

Then He got up and left

And the lesson was taken

When I.pray words don’t matter

It’s the listening that makes it

Restore The Land

Leave a reply

The enemy gathers daily

Just before the dawn

To plan a way to take you down

They gather up the gossip

Rumors and lies

And start a chain to spread it all around

 

Wording carefully crafted

And very neatly spun

Their web of deception knows no shame

The little minions gather

One by one they flee

To the human destination with their name

 

The saints of God gather

Just before the dawn

To plan a way to lift you to the King

They sound aloud their prayers

For healing and strength

To fight the battles this day’s going to bring

 

Interceding Prayers

And praises to our God

Their voices sing a song of victory

The angels gather round

To protect the saints of God

From any and all attacks of the enemy

 

With which of these groups

Do you work today?

The one lifting up?

Or the one breaking down?

 

Because as Christians we seem

To take both sides in stride

One minute we tear up

And the next we edify.

 

This ought not to be

In our lives as His church

We ought to be always

Lifting up those who hurt

 

Gossip and tale bearing

Have no place in the body

Putting others down for fun

Is an affront to our Lord

 

So come on church, rise up

Let the good words win out

Let the body of Christ

Rise up with a shout

Encourage each other

Pray for the sick

Help out the lonely

Make your faith stick

 

If all of us would

Take the time for this plan

The church would rise up

And restore this land

I Will

I will praise Him
No matter how I feel
I will give Him glory
Because His love is real
I will praise Him
Every single day
Worship Him forever
Lift His Holy name
If I praise Him just for blessings
My praise will oft fall short
Because some days just bring trials
It’s a promise from His word
If I praise Him just for healing
There’ll be times I’ll not sing out
Because illness can be lingering
And it may just steal my shout
But when I praise Him just because
He’s the Lord of heaven and earth
There is nothing that can blind me
To all that He is worth
He is more than blessings
More than healings,
More than life.
He’s the great creator
Of the earth
And all the skies.
So the next time tour day isn’t
What you planned for it to be
Just lift your hands and praise Him
And His glory you shall see
And all your trials and troubles
Will soon seem oh so small
The God of all creation
Is the master of them all.p

Trust The Lord

Leave a reply
I don’t quit when the going gets tough
I don’t quit when the road gets rough
I don’t quit when I’ve had enough
I just trust the Lord
No complaints when I’ve had a bad day
No complaints when things don’t go my way
No complaints when I’m hurt by what’s said
I just trust the Lord
You see, He’s in control
Not me and not you
He’s in control
And His word is quite true
No weapon formed
Against you will stand
Our enemies will never win
So when life is hard
Just lift up your head
Throw out your pride
Let humility reign
God knows the plans
That He has for you
And His plan will never fail
I praise His name no matter what comes
I praise His name in the midst of the storms
I praise His name and give thanks He has won

 

I just trust the Lord

The Power of Prayer

Leave a reply

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

Help

Lord, help me
Through and through
Life is a lost and lonely place
Without you.
Lord, help me
As I pray
I am needful of your grace
Every day
Lord, help me
Through this night
Fear has pushed my faith aside
As I write
Lord,  help me
See your light
Draw me to your loving side
By your might
Lord, help me
Trust in you
Only then can I have peace
Faith renewed
Lord, help me
Be like you
Help me live a life of grace
Mercy too.
You’ve helped me through the battles
That daily come along
You’ve helped me through the trials
When I am weak, you’re strong
You’ve helped me through the hard times
When I think I will fall
You’ve helped me all throughout life
I’ve given you my all
And  now I come to you, Lord
With one more desperate plea
I know that when I call on you
You’ll never fail to help me

Journey Home

Leave a reply

This world has been good to me

I’ve enjoyed friends and family

I have tried to live God’s plan for me

As I take this journey home

 

For I know this life is just a test

To see what I’ll do if I am blessed

Will I share with others or just rest

As I take this journey home

 

There is one choice I must make

If I want to always live by grace

I must accept the price He paid

When He died at Calvary

 

That one choice must be for Him

Because it tells my journey’s end

Well it be joy in Heaven’s realm

Or forever stay in hell

Discharge today
Yippee – Kai- Yay
I’m as happy as a
Cow with new hay
Discharge today
Toodle – De – Doo
I have a few things
To share with you
He’s my healer
Plain and simple
He’s the one
Who did it all
Gave the knowledge
To the doctors
Of things both
Great and small
He brought this team
Together
Bands of doctors
Nurses too
They administered
The treatment
From the wisdom
God issued
It’s His mercy and grace
I relied on
His mercy and grace
Saw me through
He guided your
Every prayer
And answered them
Through and through
Lord, I thank you
For watching over me
Every moment of every day
You are my healer
You’ll restore me
I give you all of my praise
