Just a Second Away From Heaven

Leave a reply 
I’m just a second from heaven
Any moment God could call me home
No bags to pack. I won’t need a thing
Thank God I am ready to go

I’m just a second from heaven
Jesus made a way just for me
God’s only Son gave His life away
So that I would be ready

I’m just a second from heaven
There is not a doubt in my mind
When I asked the Lord to forgive my sins
They were removed for all of time

I’m just a second from heaven
There is not a moment to waste
As I walk this life in obedience
I enjoy every moment I wait

I’m just a second from heaven
I will go in the blink of an eye
And I pray that you are ready too
We never know when we’ll die

Are you just a second from heaven
Have you asked Jesus into your life
Won’t you come with me and be set free
Before you run out of time

Never Alone

Leave a reply 
When I see God, He’s already seen me
Walking out of sin into victory
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
God is always there before me

Never alone, I am never alone
Always with God, I am never alone
From morning ‘til evening
From dusk to dawn
I can rest assured, I am never alone

When I hear God, He’s already heard me
Kneeling at His cross praying solemnly
No matter what I say
No matter what I hear
God has placed His Word before me

Nothing can come between
Nothing can separate
Nothing can tear me away from His love, His love

Never alone, I am never alone
Always with God, I am never alone
From morning ‘til evening
From dusk to dawn
I can rest assured, I am never alone

I Love His Name

Leave a reply 
Angels gather ‘round His throne in heaven
Cherubim and Seraphim arrive
The elders bow before the one who’ worthy
They lift their praises high up to the sky

Singing holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord most high

He is King of Kings. Lord of Lords
Lamb of God, Lord of Hosts
Rock of Ages, Rose of Sharon
Lion of Judah, Ruler of Heaven

Singing holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord most high

Mighty Creator, Blessed Redeemer
Prince of peace, Everlasting Father
Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the end
Light of the world, our forever friend

I love His name.  I love His name
I love the name of Jesus
I love His name.  I love His name
I love the mighty name of Jesus

Bought With A Price

Leave a reply 
I am not my own, I’ve been bought with a price
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
He has washed away all my sin and shame
He made me His child and calls me by name

He offered His life to ransom my soul
The nails in His hands and the thorns in His brow
From the cross He forgave me so I could be saved
Then He died once for all and was placed in the grave

For three days He laid there and all hope seemed lost
He had suffered and died a cruel death on the cross
But the stone rolled away and He rose from the dead
Now He’s alive and in heaven He rests

I owe Him my life. I owe Him my all
What can I give Him that died for us all
My sacrifice is to give everything
All that I am is my offering

The Time Is Now

Leave a reply 
The time is now
The time is right
We wait for the right moment
Or the right word
Or the right circumstances
We wait for a reason
Or a cause
Or a request
But God wants us to be proactive
Not reactive
God wants us to speak out
Not be silent
God wants us to be bold
Not meek
So speak His word
Speak encouragement
Speak healing
Speak deliverance
Speak salvation
Speak up in Jesus name
The time is right
The time is now

Rejoice In Tribulation

Leave a reply 
Trials and tribulations
Jesus promised they would come
And they do.
Day after day
Week after week
Seemingly endless
Do I allow them to bog me down,
Get me down,
Drag me down
Bring me down,
And keep me down?
Or do I look at them as mere stepping stones
To a higher plateau with God?
Are they just a bump in the road
On my way to heaven?
Paul said His trials only furthered the gospel.
They became his testimony.
Christ's greatest triumph 
Came through His biggest trial - 
The cross.
So do I rejoice in tribulation, 
Knowing it will bring me a testimony
That will further the Gospel?
Rejoice in the Lord always
And again I say rejoice!
In Hard Times

Peter’s Lament

Leave a reply 
He’s gone
My best friend
My teacher
My Master
Gone
They crucified Him
After hailing Him as King
They crucified Him
I denied Him
3 times I failed
I denied Him
Today is the sabbath
He is buried
Behind a stone
Sealed and guarded
I cower in fear
Uncertainty and doubt
Will they come for me?
Will they kill my friends?
What will we do?
I will stay low
I have to seek God
I am dazed, confused, lost.
He’s gone –  Dead and buried
Gone.  My hope, my strength, my life
Gone

Boldness

Leave a reply 
Boldness
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 Turn To You

Leave a reply 
When my troubles have me down and I don't know what to do
I turn to you
When my life seems out of place and my night won’t turn to day
I turn to you
When my pains seem so intense that I just want to go away
I turn to you
When my heartache overwhelms me to the ping that I will cry
I turn to you
Because you hold the key to my heart
You hold the key to my soul
You hold the reins of my life'
And I know you will never let go
I can trust you Lord, because you are faithful
You make the sun to shine each day
And the stars to shine at night
You bring the gentle cool breeze 
And the song of the bird at dawn
You give me the air that I breath
And the beauty of this earth to behold
I can trust you Lord, because you are faithful

And I hear how you answered their prayer
When I was praying
Because you placed them on my heart
And it is a great joy!
