Can I Get A Witness?

Leave a reply 
Can I get a witness of amazing Grace?
Has He set your feet in a higher place?
Do you long each day to see his face?
Can I get a witness of amazing Grace?

Can I hear a testimony of His love?
Has He touched your heart from His throne above?
Do you have compassion that hugs everyone?
Can I hear a testimony of His love?

Shout it from the mountain top. Let your voice be raised
Jesus Christ is Lord of all, worthy of our praise
Tell the whole world of His love. Witness every day
He redeemed me for all time, washed my sins away

Can you tell your neighbor of His sacrifice?
How he bled and died to give eternal life?
How He washed away their sin by taking stripes?
Can you tell your neighbor of His sacrifice?

Don't be silent any longer.
Don't be fearful of their doubt
Lift your voice and tell His story.
Make Him known so they'll find out
There's a Savior waiting for them.
Jesus is His mighty name
He is knocking at their heart now.
Help them lift their voice in praise

Shout it from the mountain top. Let your voice be raised
Jesus Christ is Lord of all, worthy of our praise
Tell the whole world of His love. Witness every day
He redeemed me for all time, washed my sins away

What More Could I Want

Leave a reply 
Out of darkness.  Out of night.
Out of blindness into light.
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

Out of sickness.  Out of pain.
Into healing once again.
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

CHORUS
How He loves me. How He loves me. Jesus loves me this I know.
How He loves me.  How He saved me. For the Bible tells me so

Out of trials into peace.
Out of sorrow, joy released
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

CHORUS

BRIDGE
He gives me beauty for ashes and a garment of praise
He gives me mercy unending and a mountain of grace
He gives me hope for tomorrow and a heart full of faith
What more could I want?  What more could I want?
What more could I want from Him?

Great Disgrace

Leave a reply 
What else can I do but be myself
I cannot just copy somebody else
I have to rely on what the Lord has given me

But I often I think this life is hard
I try to pretend that I am smart
And now I am falling hard and no one will rescue me

Help me to see the path that I have walked
Help me to learn the voice that leads me to the dark
Help me to leave my foolish pride behind admitting my mistakes
And humbly bow before your throne in great disgrace

Have mercy, Lord, on me
I bow down at your feet and humbly plea
I didn’t listen.  I wasn’t wise
I could not see the enemy’s eyes
Have mercy, precious Lord, on me

Now I know what to do with this mess
I come to you now and I confess
Greed and alluring talk of grandeur led me astray

I will walk out of my despair
I will come up and small the air
You shine a light along my path to show me the way

You help me see the path that I have walked
You help me learn the voice that led me to the dark
You help me leave my foolish pride behind and look on up ahead
There you await with open arms and calm my fear

Have mercy, Lord on me
I bow down at your feet and humbly plea
I will now listen.  I’ll open my eyes
I will turn to you to help me be wise
Have mercy, precious Lord, on me

Hallelujah to the Risen One

Leave a reply 
I don’t know why I can be taken for a ride
Why do I let the enemy come into my life
He comes to steal, kill and destroy
I find myself as helpless as a little boy

I don’t know how I get myself into this mess
When I have a Savior who says I will be blessed
I need to walk into the arms of my Lord and King
For only he can save me from the death I’m in

What a Savior.  What a friend
What a comforter His Spirit is
What a joy to be in the presence of the King
I lift my voice and His praises I sing

Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!
Blessed Jesus, Son of God.  Hallelujah to the risen one

The Mercy That I Seek

Somewhere in the darkest night He’s waiting
Waiting for my praise to rise to Him
Somewhere in my deepest need He answers
Filling me with His amazing grace
Somewhere in my heart there is a witness 
Urging me to bring more souls to Him
Somewhere in my weakness He will strengthen
Sending me to sow the seeds of faith

I just need to cry out
I just need to listen
I just need to hear Him when He speaks
I just need to praise Him
I just need to worship
He will give the mercy that I seek

How amazing is our God
Oh, how gracious is His love
Oh, how wonderful He is each day to me
All my worship and my praise
All to Him In Jesus name
What a savior, what a friend indeed

Holy Is The Lamb

He will come riding on the clouds to greet me on that grand and glorious day
His trumpet shall sound His coming. We'll be gathered home to stay 
All creation groans awaiting His return. All of heaven waits His coming bride 
We shall rise to meet Him glory to our mansions in the sky

We'll sing blessing and honor glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne
Blessing and honor glory and power to the Risen Lord of Lords
By His blood He has saved us.  Alive He has raised us to live forever more
Blessing and honor, glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne

On the day He returns in His glory all eyes will be turned to Him
We will know in that precious moment that we belong to Him
He will shine like a brilliant sunrise.  His eyes will look into our souls
Every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

We'll sing blessing and honor glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne
Blessing and honor glory and power to the Risen Lord of Lords
By His blood He has saved us.  Alive He has raised us to live forever more
Blessing and honor, glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne

Holy, holy, holy is He. Holy is the Lamb
Holy, holy, holy is He. Holy is the Lamb
Holy, holy, holy is He. Holy is the Lamb
Holy is the Lamb of God

We'll sing blessing and honor glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne
Blessing and honor glory and power to the Risen Lord of Lords
By His blood He has saved us.  Alive He has raised us to live forever more
Blessing and honor, glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne

You Found Me

1 Reply 
As I sit here and ponder my life
I wonder how I survived 
So many years without you, Lord
Walking close by my side

I looked for some purpose or meaning
But out of control I kept reeling 
I was a wreck without you, Lord 
Being my comfort and guide

Then you found me, 
Desperate and broken
You picked me up out of the ashes
Out of the miry clay I was in
You stood me up and turned me around
And I've never looked back since

There's a spring in my step today
I know you have shown me your ways
I am now safe in your arms, Lord
You're walking with me everyday 

Since you found me
Molded and shaped me
Into a vessel filled up with you
Redeemed and anointed
Your Spirit dwells in me and guides me
I am your child and you are mine

You found me broken and put me together
You found me sickly and healed me forever
You found me lonely and said you’re my child
You found me restless your peace made me mild
You found me sinful and set my soul free
You found me drowning and you rescued me
You found me wandering and showed me the way
You found me angry and taught me to pray

Since you found me
Molded and shaped me
Into a vessel filled up with you
Redeemed and anointed
Your Spirit dwells in me and guides me
I am your child and you are mine

Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen
To the promises of God Amen
Every word He has spoken is ours today
Amen. Amen. Amen.

He was wounded for my transgressions
He was bruised for my iniquities
The punishment for my peace was upon Him
And by His stripes I am healed

Do not fear for He is with you
Be not afraid for He is your God
He will comfort you.  He will keep you
He will hold you in His hand
Amen.  Amen.  Amen

You will lead me beside still waters
You will restore my soul
You will lead me in the paths of righteousness
So, I can glorify your name

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
You will be with me all the way
Your rod and your staff will comfort me
And I will dwell in your house forever

Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen
To the promises of God Amen
Every word He has spoken is our today
Amen. Amen. Amen.

Raised Up

Leave a reply 
A widows son had died and left her all alone 
The funeral proceeded and a crowd gathered around
Jesus walked by as the people wailed and wept
With compassion He raised that young boy back to life again

A ruler of the templd had a daughter who was dead
The doctors had ann9unced it and all the people wept
But Jesus walked into her room and took her by the hand
Rise up on your feet my child, you're alive again

They were raised up!
From the dead, they were raised up
When Jesus comes around
New life will abound
So set your eyes on Him and be raised up!

Lazarus had died,  three days was in the grave
Jesus came a calling, lifted up His voice and prayed
The stone was rolled away and
Lazarus came out
I'm sure he praised the Lord and lifted up a shout

He'll raise you up from the depths of sin
New life will be yours, Victor within 
Come to Him today, fall upon His grace 
Be raised up!  Be raised up
