God Covered It

Leave a reply 
God formed man from dust 
Breathed life into him
And when he chose to disobey 
God covered it

God asked Abram to obey 
By giving his own Son
When God saw he'd follow through
God covered it
David had Uriah killed
Just to take His wife 
When Nathan pointed out his sin
God covered it

Man has sinned throughout time
He prefers to disobey 
But when his cry goes out to God
God covers it

Finally God saw that man
Would never get it right
So He set His plan in motion
A covering for all time

Because God So loved to world
He sent His only son
To die upon across
To cover all my wrong

So now when I do wrong
And disobey His law
I look up to that cross
And God covers it all

I Need Jesus

I need Jesus
More today than yesterday 
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today 
I need Jesus

When life takes a turn
And I can't discern
The path to return
I need Jesus

When sorrow arrives 
And I want to hide
From sadness in life 
I need Jesus

When peace can't be found
And troubles abound
And chaos is loud
I need Jesus

When joy goes away
And I have dismal days
When every smile fades
I need Jesus

And every time I call on Him
He's swiftly by my side 
Bringing His sweet mercy and His grace
I know I can depend on Him

To constantly abide 
He always gets me back to the right place
My need for Him is more than life
It's more than breath or blood 

My need for Him is deep inside my heart
So give me Jesus every time
The storms of life get rough
And every time He'll give me a fresh start

I need Jesus
More to today than yesterday 
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today 
I need Jesus

Love Inescapable

Leave a reply 
Hard times hit us all
Even happy people fell
Even we have days that cause us harm
But when we get real low 
We know just where to go
Back to our Father's loving arms
He holds His arms out wide
He's ever at my side
He's there to pick me up when I fall down
And if I bruise my soul
He heals me 'til I'm whole
And sets my feet on solid ground

He loves me
More than anything
He loves me
So amazing 
He loves me
Even when my love grows cold
He loves me
Through my troubled days
He loves me
When I've lost my way
He loves me

I cannot escape His love
His grace will cover me
Whenever I'm in need
His blessings come in every size and shape
His mercy overflows 
My selfish, prideful soul
And helps those things to quietly escape
His sweet perfection slides
Into this heart of mine
Without me even knowing it's His hand
And then one day I se
His humility in me
And I realize that this is what He planned

He loves me
He fills me with joy 
He loves me
His peace is employed 
He loves me
More than I can ever know
He loves me
I will sing His prsise
He loves me
I'll worship His sweet name
He loves me
I cannot escape His love

Again

Leave a reply 
Today the Lord had mercy on me
He kept away the enemy 
And reminded me that I'm set free
Again

Today the Lord has blessed me much
All day I felt His spirits touch
His presence was around so much
Again

Today His grace filled me with peace
He gave my soul a sweet release 
All day I felt calm and at ease
Again

Again and again He's there for me
He always meets me at me need
He listens to my prayerful pleas
Again, and again, and again

Today He flooded me with love
As vast as all the stars above
And I can know that it will come 
Again

Again His mercy will be mine 
Again His blessing He'll assign 
Again He'll give me grace each time
Again

But high above all these great things
The greatest gift that He does bring 
Is His great love, of that I'll sing
Again, and again and again




High Above

Leave a reply 
Let's all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne 
He Reigns on high 
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
 
He rules in majesty
He's high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me
He sends His mercy to my side
Each time I trip and fall
Such mercy is too much for me
I don't deserve it all

His grace pours blessing in my life 
That overwhelms my soul 
I can't contain the gratitude 
That He has made me whole
But greatest of the gifts He shows 
Is His great love for me
He gave His life upon a cross
That day at Calvary

This love is so amazing 
So wonderful and strong
That every moment I'm awake
I sing my worship song
Let's all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne 
He Reigns on high 

His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise 
He rules in majesty
He's high above
All other gods
And sets his heart me

Favor Undeserved

Leave a reply 
You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor 
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence 
I will worship your sweet name

All the mercy you give 
Freely into me, Lord 
I do not deserve your love
Mercy that does pardon 
All of my transgression 
Mercy from your throne above

Then you pour your grace out
Favor undeserved, Lord
Freely you bestow your gifts 
I can't begin to measure
The blessings your grace brings me
Every day they help me live

Finally your love comes 
Overwhelms my spirit
That you'd love a wretch like me
I am, oh, so thankful
You would look on me Lord 
To wash away my sin and set me free

And soon you will came back
To take me home with thee
And I will praise your name
Through all eternity

You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor 
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence 
I will worship your sweet name



New Life

Leave a reply 
In the winter all the trees are hibernating just waiting for the coming of the spring
When the Lord of all the earth will give them new life.  What a joy, what a splendor that will bring
My life may sometimes seem so dark and dreary by the trials and tribulations on the way
But God sends His Son and gives me new life filled with joy and with wonder at His grace

He gives a joy inside my heart.  He gives a peace that won’t depart
He gives me life brand new each day.  And then He guides me on the way
I can only bow down and say: I honor you, I worship you I love you, my Lord.

So when your life seems clouded by confusion
And the daily chore of living gets you down
Just remember that the Lord of all creation
Gave His life so that mercy might abound

He gives a joy inside my heart.  He gives a peace that won’t depart
He gives me life brand new each day.  And then He guides me on the way
I can only bow down and say: I honor you, I worship you I love you, my Lord.

He gives a joy inside my heart.  He gives a peace that won’t depart
He gives me life brand new each day.  And then He guides me on the way
I can only bow down and say: I honor you, I worship you I love you, my Lord.

I honor you, I worship you, I love you, my Lord

Hallelujah, Jesus Reigns

There’s a song in my heart
And it’s easy to sing
It’s a love song to Jesus
His praises I bring
Won’t you sing along
And give praise to the King
I’d love you to sing with me

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns
He is worthy of my praise
I will lift His Mighty name
Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

Now if you missed it
The first-time through
I’ll tell you what
I’m going to do
I’ll sing it again
Just for you
And hope you will sing along

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns
He is worthy of my praise
I will lift His Mighty name
Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

That’s all there is 
To this simple song
I am so glad
That you sang along
Please take it with you
And sing it to God
Whenever you have the chance

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns
He is worthy of my praise
I will lift His Mighty name
Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

And if you should
Forget the tune
Just make up your own
That wouldn’t be rude
Just lift up your voice
And sing it real soon
So the melody’s fresh in your mind

Hallelujah, Jesus reigns
He is worthy of my praise
I will lift His Mighty name
Hallelujah, Jesus reigns
