Unexpected, God Sows Up

Leave a reply 
Unexpected, God shows up.
Men building a tower in Babel
Hoping to reach the heavens
Exalting themselves as God's
Unexpected, God shows up
Confuses their language 
The tower fails
Israel escaping Egyptian bondage
Blocked by the Red Sea
Pharaohs army pursues
Unexpected, God shows up
The sea parts
Pharaohs army destroyed
Jerusalem under siege
Lepers cry why sit we here to die
Go out to the enemy camp
Unexpected, God shows up
Enemy runs in fright
Israel is spared
Shepherds watching their flocks
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, stars are bright
Unexpected, God shows up
The Savior is born
In Bethlehem
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Leave all your worries to Him
When it seems that all is lost
Unexpected, God shows up
He always knows
What's best for you

Rocks Will Sing

Lift your voices, shout your praise
It is Jesus name we raise
Blessed Hosannas, hail the King
As we lift our praise to Him

Enter in, please enter in
To the presence of the King
Worship Him, oh worship Him
Loud hosannas shout and sing

Worthy, worthy is His name
Blessed Jesus, humble Lamb
Sent to save the world from sin
Won't you let Him enter in?

Lift your praise or rocks will sing
Loud hosannas to the King
Shout out loud with joyous dance
He is stretching out His hands

Lift your voices, shout your praise
It is Jesus name we raise
Blessed Hosannas, hail the King
As we lift our praise to Him

In Your Closet

Leave a reply 
A simple conversation
A request of prayer
A cry for help
You are chosen by God
To be an intercessor
To bow your head in prayer
For those who confide in you
You are chosen by God
To quietly pray
And seek His face
And keep the trust of a friend
Do you take this charge solemnly?
Do you keep that trust?
Or do you share it with others,
Supposedly enlisting their prayers?
When a friend shares a sorrow,
A hurt or a need with you
It is only with you - 
If they want others to know
They will tell them.
You pray!
You intercede to God for them
You bring their request before the Lord
Do it in your closet,
Not for all to see.
For this is the high calling off God
To be an intercessor.

Hosanna to the Lord

Leave a reply 
When the sun comes up 
And the day begins
I will lift my hands
To praise Him

When the day is done
And the sky's ablaze
I will lift my voice
And shout His praise

Hosanna, hosanna 
Hosanna to the Lord
Hosanna, hosanna 
Hosanna to the Lord

When the clouds roll in
And the sky turns gray
I will lift my eyes
In wondrous praise

When the north wind blows
With a mighty roar
I will lift His name
Forevermore

Hosanna, hosanna 
Hosanna to the Lord
Hosanna, hosanna 
Hosanna to the Lord

Sing His praise
All the day
Sing it loud
Sing it long
He us worthy
Of all praise
Forever and ever

Hosanna, hosanna 
Hosanna to the Lord 
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna to the Lord

Be Prepared and Wonder

Leave a reply 

A time to prepare, and a time to wonder
A time to prepare for work
A time to prepare for worship
A time to prepare to witness
To give account for the hope within

A time to prepare to teach
A time to prepare for financial health
A time to prepare for future
To be ready for what may come

A time to wonder what God will do
A time to wonder how He will lead
A time to wonder what life has in store
For those who wait on Him

A time to wonder what miracles will come
A time to wonder where He will show up
A time to wonder how all will work out
For good.
Both are necessary
Both are expedient
Both are in the will of God
Be prepared, and then wonder!

Boldness

2 Replies 
Lord, give me boldness
Help me to overcome fear
Fear of sharing your love
Give me boldness
Boldness to pray for the sick
Boldness to encourage the lost
Boldness to confront the enemy
Boldness to share the gospel
Boldness to share your joy with others
Boldness to share your peace with others
Boldness to declare what you have done in my life
Lord, I meet people every day
People who are hurting
People who are sad
People who have no peace
People who are sick
People who are lost
People who need you
Yet I am quiet 
I enjoy conversation with them
But I do not talk about you
About your peace
About your joy
About your love
About your salvation.
About what you can do in their lives
Lord, give me boldness
That I might declare your words

I’m Walking With Jesus

I’m walking with Jesus today
His presence is with me to stay
I have peace within
He banished my sin
I’m walking with Jesus today

I’m talking with Jesus today
As we walk along the way
His joy fills my heart
His words never depart
I’m walking with Jesus today

I’m listening to Jesus today
He reminds me He loves me always
My eyes fill with tears
As His joy I so real
I’m listening to Jesus today

I can’t help but smile today
As I walk and talk on the way
Jesus is near
His words fill me ear
As I listen to all that He says

He says that He loves me
He says He is with me
He says that He’ll heal me
He says He will free me

Then I raise my hands and I raise my voice
I sing His praises and I rejoice
For this is the day that the Lord has made
I know He is with me every step of the way

He Lights Our Path

Leave a reply 
Rainfall, incessant since daybreak
Gently soaking into the ground
Giving life to all that lives
Much like God's word - the water of life
The living water that springs from within
Incessant, ever flowing
Drawing us closer to Him
The wind, howling wildly
Starting when it wants, where it wants
Ending without a trace
I never know when it is coming,
Or where it is going.
So is the Holy Spirit
Blowing through my life
Encouraging me, guiding me
Showing me His will, His life
Drawing me loser to Him
The sun, giving light to all
Warming us with its radiance
Helping us to see what s around us
Giving life to all it touches
So is the Son, Jesus Christ
He gives life to all he touches
He helps us to see what is inside us
He lights our path
Drawing us closer to Him
All the world glorifies the Father
The heavens declare the Son
All of nature testifies of Him
All of His creation praises His wonderful name
Let us rejoice and be glad in Him!

Approve Things That Are Excellent

Leave a reply 
Approve things that are excellent
I give approval in my life every day
But do I approve excellence
Or do I approve good?
If I approve of what God approves
That's excellence.
Things like love, trust
Peace, joy, patience
Meekness, Humility
Temperance, Faithfulness.
Or do I approve of intolerance,
Hatred, impatience, lack of loyalty,
Gossip, turmoil, lack of trust
Do I approve by my actions
Those things that God does not approve of
Or
Do I love those who hate me
Do I show grace to those who abuse me
Do I show mercy to those who harm me
We must approve things that are excellent.
