More Time

Leave a reply 
This year has past
A new is upon us
What will it bring
Good things, I trust

More time with God
Giving Him praises
Lifting my heart
Accepting His graces

More time in prayer
Lifting my neighbors
Hoping to see
Them come the Father

More time to love
Those who are hurting
Giving them hope
That their hurt is fleeing

More time to seek
His wisdom and passion
That I might proclaim
His words to the nation

More time to praise
My wonderful Savior
Lifting my voice
To worship my Lord

Yes, this year will bring
A new fire within me
To honor the name
Of Jesus my Lord

Wondrous Love

Leave a reply 
Days roll into nights
Nights roll into days
When I think of God
I'm constantly amazed
At the love that He has for me 

Abundant stars at night 
One star rules the day
When I come to God
I give Him all my praise
For the grace that He shows to me

I will sing I will sing 
Of His wondrous love
And the mercy and grace 
That He shows to us
I will lift up my praise 
All of my days 
I will sing of His wondrous love 

Time and time again 
I hear the melody
When I come to God
I cannot help but weep
As His presence sweeps over me 

When the day is done 
And the sun is getting low 
Then I come to God 
His mercy overflows 
As I lift my voice in praise 

His beauty is sweet
He’s holy and just
His power is great
His wisdom is vast
His mercy unending
His grace evermore
His love knows no limits
It’s Him we adore

I will sing I will sing 
Of His wondrous love
And the mercy and grace 
That He shows to us
I will lift up my praise 
All of my days 
I will sing of His wondrous love

The Vision

Leave a reply 

Soaring
High above the earth
I'm soaring
Flying through the clouds 
I'm soaring
Looking down at earth below

Hoping 
By faith I ask the Lord
I'm hoping
That we can make a change 
I'm hoping
Love will conquer all our fears 

And then I see a fountain
A fountain filled with joy
Springing up all over 
From within the saints of God

And then I see a river
A river filled with peace 
Flowing 'cross the landscape 
Centered where the joy had been

They flowed into an ocean
An ocean labeled love
Eventually this ocean 
Touched the nations all around

Wond'ring
Could this really be
I'm wond'ring
If the saints of God can yield 
I'm wond'ring
If the vision I have seen can come 

Hearing
The voice of God declare
I'm hearing
My son this can come true
I'm hearing
When all my children heed my word 

I drop down on my knees
And ask forgiveness now
He shows me His great mercy
And bids me go and tell
The vision that I've seen
Can be both here and now 
If only we will share our love 
With everyone around

Soaring
All throughout the land
I'm soaring
Praising God's great love
I'm soaring
Knowing that the world can change 

Hoping
The saints will hear the call
I'm hoping
And release the love of God
I'm hoping 
To see this vision come to life

I’m Forever Grateful

Leave a reply 
I'm forever grateful for  what Jesus did that day 
When He came to earth a babe in a manger filled with hay
When He left His royal throne  He knew the price He'd pay
Yet He came and did it anyway 

I'm forever grateful for the mercy He shows me
I am such a sinner yet He died to set me free
And He rose up from the dead so I will live eternally 
I can't believe He did it all for me

Oh, what a Savior
He is to me
My love grows deeper
Each time I see
His hand of mercy
Sweep over me
He is my Savior 
My friend indeed

I'm forever grateful for the joy He gives to me
It conquers every fear and fills my heart with glee
He also gives me peace that calms the storms in me 
Fear and doubt just have to flee

I'm forever grateful for His amazing grace 
When I make all my mistakes He won't throw them in my face
He calmly reassures me that beside Him is my place
And one say I'm going to see His face 

And forever He will stand with me
Forever He will give me grace
Forever He will be a friend who walks with me
Forever I will praise His name

Oh, what a Savior
He is to me
My love grows deeper
Each time I see
His hand of mercy
Sweep over me
He is my Savior 
My friend indeed

I Lift My Praise

Leave a reply 
I lift my praise
With every breath
And I will always
Do my best 
To lift the name
Of Jesus high
For He has given 
Me new life

Born as a babe 
In manger hay
Left heavens home
To come that day
Shepherds and wise men
Came to praise
Then I will join 
And lift His name

He preached to thousands 
Words if life
And healed the sick
As they came by
He angered leaders
Stuck in pride 
And they cried out 
To crucify

The beat Him bad
And spit on Him 
Scourged Him near death
And they mocked Him
A crown of thorns 
A wooden cross 
Nailed hands and feet
Oh, what a cost

I lift my praise
To Jesus Christ
My highest praise
My love, my life
I'll worship Him
For all my days
For He is worthy
Of my praise

He gave His life
Away that day
Our sins to pardon 
Our debtn to pay 
They laid Him in 
A borrowed tomb
He rose again 
Now heaven’s home 

Oh, Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords
Emmanuel with us, the King of Kings
Jesus my Lord, the crucified
I lift my praise, I give my life
Jesus my Lord, the crucified
I lift my praise, I give my life

As I Wait

Leave a reply 
I cried out to God
In the midst of my need
And I prayed He would give me relief 
I asked Him for mercy 
And told Him my plea 
And then I began to believe

One day, then two days 
A week then passed by 
And I had not received a reply 
I went back to God 
And I asked Him what's up
And He then spoke and told me why

It's time to be still
And know I am God 
Your prayer will be answered on time
Until then you wait
And trust in my love 
The best timing is always mine.

I knew He was right 
As He always is 
So I summoned the patience He gives 
And my spirit raised up 
And praise filled my heart
So I lifted my worship to Him

Praise the Lord for His mercy 
Praise the Lord for His grace
Praise His mighty name with every breath 
All glory to Jesus 
My Savior divine 
Praise the Lord for His loving embrace

So now when a trial 
Comes into my life 
I lift up my voice in praise
For He is worthy
Every day
As I wait I will lift up His name

All glory to Jesus
My fortress and rock 
He'll keep me safe in the storm 
And I’ll cling to Him
As I wait for His time
Safe and secure in His arms

What Can I Dio But Pray?

Leave a reply 
When a distant friend is down with pain
And his family doesn’t care, again
There is no one close
Who can lend a hand
What can I do but pray?

When I hear of someone who’s been hurt bad
From an accident that they’ve just had
There too far away
For me to be there
What can I do but pray?

When a trial or test is taking its toll
And there’s no one else that they have told
It is mine to bear
For the burden’s large
What can I do but pray?

I can send a card with a message bright
I can give an encouraging word each day
I can keep upbeat when we talk at night
That’s what I can do while I pray

When a friend is in the hospital room
And I just can’t get there to see them soon
They won’t be there long
They’ll be out of touch
What can I do but pray?

When a death has come to a family
And I know that they’re not real close to me
The funeral is soon
But I’m out of town
What can I do but pray?

I can bring some food to their house for them
I can offer to clean or to lend a hand
I can give them rides or run errands
That’s what I can do while I pray

It’s the Golden rule that we must obey
Do unto others is the good Lord’s way
That when I want to do more than pray
I can think about what I would need
And then when the time has come for aid
I can give of my time and give of my day
And then when I have done all I can
I can rest peacefully and pray.
Christ Returns

The King Eternal

Leave a reply 
He started in a manger filled with hay 
At death borrowed tomb is where He lay
He never owned a home
In ministry He roamed
Teaching of the truth, the life, the way.

He was the King who came to die
A minister of light and life
The masses followed Him
He eased their suffering
And told them words that opened up their eyes

He is the King eternal
The everlasting God
The mighty creator
The one who reigns above
His victory is forever
He shed his precious blood
He died for you and me
So we could know His love

The leaders of the day were mad
The words He shared they thought were bad
They sought to take His life
Against Him the conspired
They turned the crowd against Him and were glad

This King was beaten mercilessly
He carried His cross to Calvary
His feet and hands were nailed
The soldiers had prevailed
They crucified Him there upon that tree

The borrowed tomb became His grave
The guards had sealed the tomb and stayed
But death could not hold Him
Over the grave, He wins
Now eternal life is mine always

He is the King eternal
The everlasting God
The mighty creator
The one who reigns above
His victory is forever
He shed his precious blood
He died for you and me
So we could know His love

Let’s Worship

Leave a reply 
I’ll clap my hands
I’ll lift my voice
I’ll shout His praise
And I’ll rejoice
The King of Kings
Salvation brings
Let’s worship Him today

He bore the price
For all my sin
So I would have
A way to win
His grace did reign
That fateful day
As on the cross
My debt He paid

He did not balk
He did not fail
He took the whip
He took the nails
He walked the road
He bore His cross
He gave His all
At such a cost

The buried Him
In borrowed tomb
They sealed it tight
A darkened room
The stone rolled back
The soldiers slept
He rose again
His promise kept

And now He stands
By Father God
He prays for me
He watches out
His love for all
Reached out to me
Now heaven’s home
Eternally

I’ll clap my hands
I’ll lift my voice
I’ll shout His praise
And I’ll rejoice
The King of Kings
Salvation brings
Let’s worship Him today

Amazing Love

Leave a reply 
I came running to my Lord today
I had Jesus on my mind
He wrapped His arms around me
And He said “My son, your mine”
A calming reassurance
Flooded through me from above
As He held me close beside Him
I could feel His awesome love

Love that overlooks my faults
Love that conquers all
Love that washes sin away
Love that hears my call
His love is amazing
It is with me everyday
I’m not sure what I would do
Without His love today

I found that I was lost again
And couldn’t find my way
Somehow, I’d walked away from Him
So I knelt down to pray
I asked Him to draw close to me
And soon I felt Him near
His tenderness surrounded me
And wiped out all my fear

Love that wipes away my fears
Love that calms my heart
Love that tells me I’m okay
Love that never parts
His love is amazing 
It’s always there for me
Even when I’ve lost my way
He fills my deepest need

This time I stayed real close to Him
I did not want to leave
He told me that He loved me
And He’d always be with me
Now I must go tell others
About His wondrous love
So they can know the Savior too
And be blessed by God above

Love that took Him to the cross
Love that gave His life
Love that washed away my sin
Love that came to die
His love is amazing
He gave His life for me
And rose again so I could be
With Him eternally

I’ll shout about this wondrous love
As long as I have breath
For He has given everything
From birth until His death
I will sing His praises
Everywhere I go
For He is Lord of all the earth
And everyone should know

His love is amazing
His love conquers sin
His love is for everyone
His love always wins
His love gives and gives some more
Until the day is done
No one can out give His love
No, not anyone
