All For His Glory

Leave a reply 
The mountains bow down
The seas wave
The trees lift their arms
All for His glory

The birds sing their song
The lion roars
The ants build their kingdoms
All for His glory

The sun rises majestically
The moon reflects the light
The stars shine brightly in the dark
All for His glory

All of creation shows His handiwork
All creatures sing His praises
All that have breath praise Him
All for His glory

So should I
I should sing His praises
I should do His will
I should tell others of His love
All for His glory

Declare His mighty works
Tell of His excellent love to us
Shout out in worship to His name
All for His glory

This is what I was designed to do
This is why He made me in my mother’s womb
This is why he gave me breath
To give Him glory
So glorify His name
Shout it from the housetops
Display His wonderful love to others
That they also may know
His glory!

I See His Glory

Leave a reply 
When I see an awesome sunrise
Clouds painted red, orange, gold
Bright blue sky
Sunbeams streaming through space
I see His Glory

When I see a squirrel play
Picking up his food
Chasing round a tree
jumping branch to branch
I see His Glory

When I see a child cry
Lungs full of air
Sound emitting forth
Attentive ears of his mother hearing
I see His Glory

When I see the wind blow
Whistling through the trees
Birds gliding effortlessly
Leaves flowing freely
I see His Glory

Just open your eye
Your ears
Your nose
See His Glory in all around you
And never doubt
He’s there for you.

It Was All For You

Leave a reply 
It was all for you
When He came to this earth 
As a babe on a manger

It was all for you
When He taught of God's love
And His marvelous kingdom

It was all for you.
When he healed the sick
And caused the lame to walk

It was all for you
When He bestowed His peace
And His joy ran free

It was all for you
When he raised the dead
And opened blinded eyes

It was all for you
When He was beaten and mocked
And He carried that cross

It was all for you
The nails in His Hands
The thorns on His brow
The spear in His side
They were all for you
When he gave up the ghost
And died on the cross

It was all for you
He didn't come for Himself
To be honored and praised
He didn't come just to be
A worldly King
He came for you and me
He didn't seek to be honored
And praised among men
But to die a horrible death
He didn't die as the world would think He did
But He gave up His life for you.
Then He rose again
Leaving death behind
And even that was done for you
So you could one day walk
In that heavenly home
That He has reserved for you.

More Than Worthy

Leave a reply 
He is worthy of our praise
He is worthy of our wonder
He is worthy of our reverence
He is worthy of all honor
For He, the Lord, has set us free
He has pulled us up out of the miry clay
And set our feet on the rock to stay
He has opened our blinded eyes
So that we may see the light
The Lord is great, and awesome in all His ways
He causes me to be at peace in His arms
And He lifts me up when I am down
He places His spirit within me
To guide me and teach me His ways
He gives me wings as an eagle
To soar above the trials of life
He opens my heart to hear
His wonderful words of life
He is an awesome, most Holy God
I will lift His name on high
I will declare His goodness to all I meet
I will give glory to Him wherever I go
For He is worthy, more than worth

He Is With Me All The Time

Leave a reply 
He is with me all the time
Through my darkest days
And my longest nights.
In my deepest sorrow
Or fullest Joy

He is with me all the time
He is with me all the time
When I am in a crowd or all alone
When I/m full of hope or I lose my faith
He is with me all the time

Not a day goes by
Not a moment will pass
When His loving hand
Does not hold me.
Not an hour or minute
That He does not guide me
Not a second
I am not in His thoughts.
Because He loves me

He never wants to leave my side.
He always wants to hold me
And whisper of His love in my ear
He is with me all the time
Comforting me
Keeping me from harm
Helping me go
Guiding me along
He is with me all the time.

Do You Hear Mine

Leave a reply 
Are you there?
Do you hear me?
As I quietly call your name.
Are you there?
Do you hear me?
My prayer is still the same.
I want to know you more
I want to feel your touch
I want to hear your voice
Do you hear mine?

Are you there?
Do you see me?
As I go through trials of life.
Are you there?
Do you see me?
When my life is full of strife.
I want to know you more
I want to feel your touch
I want to hear your voice
Do you hear mine?

Out of the silence
I hear your voice - 
Gently it speaks to my soul
"I am here
I hear your voice
I will answer in my time
I am here
I see your life
My help is near you all the time
Do not fear
Do not worry
I will never leave your side."

Control

Sometimes it rains, Sometimes it snows,
Sometimes it's sunny, Sometimes it's cold
I am so glad I'm not in control

Sometimes I'm up.  Sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I can't.  Lift my feet off the ground
And still I'm so glad I'm not in control

Sometimes I cry.  Sometimes I laugh
Sometimes I'm empty.  Sometimes I'm full
And always I'm glad.  I'm not in control

We can do all we want, Say all we can say
Take every measure, Pray all we can pray
And still we will know we are not in control

Because God is all powerful knowing and wise
He directs our lives from up in the skies
And I am always so glad that He's in control

But there is one thing'
That I do control
There is one thing 
That is in my hands
One thing I must relay
My attitude
It shapes my life
And the lives I touch each day
It shapes my walk
And the oaths I take every day
It shapes my future
And How I will view each day
My challenge to you - 
Take control of what you can -
Your attitude
And leave control of all else
In God's hands.
You will find a happier life!

He Calls To You

Leave a reply 
The wind is blowing
Howling outside my window
Refreshing,
Invigorating
Ever changing in its strength
And direction
Bringing with it change.
The Holy Spirit is like the wind
Calling my name
Refreshing
Invigorating
Ever changing in its strength
And direction
Bringing with it change
For my life
Am I listening to the wind,
To the Holy Spirit?
He speaks to me
Guiding me,
Teaching me,
Disciplining me,
Helping me grown
Helping me change.
Am I listening
To the still small voice
As it calls out from the wind
Follow me
Learn from me
I will take you where you cannot go yourself
I will take you higher
And farther
Than you can imagine
Listen to the wind
Listen to the Holy Spirit
He calls to you

Come and Draw Near

Hail to the King who came yesterday
Humble and meek laid in the hay
Worshiped by wise men, Shepherds kept guard
Led their by Angels and a bright morning star

Hail to the King who came down from His throne
To be born in a manger.  To be born all alone
The world did not notice.  The world did not care
That the Lord of all Lords was suddenly there

Hail to the King, He was born to die
For my sins and yours God in flesh, now alive
He would walk among men.  He would tell them of love
He would show them the way of the Father above
Then they'd beat him and mock him and send him to death
Yet He would forgive them until His last breath

Hail to the King.  Our salvation is here
Don't get left behind, come and draw near
He cries out to know you.  He knocks at the door
Won't you open your heart so His love can be yours?
