When I Call Your Name

Leave a reply 
I was quite weary
The outlook was dreary
I soon became teary
Then I called your name

My worries all vanished
My life no more tarnished
Your Spirit replenished
When I called your name

Thank you, dear Lord, for the sweet peace you give
That helps me to get through this life I must live
When I call on your name, I can trust you will give
A joy to my heart once again

When I was in sin
Had trouble within
My life was a spin
When I called your name

You hung on a tree
To bring mercy to me
And now I am free
Since I called on your name

Because you paid the price for my anguish and shame
As they beat up your body and mocked your sweet name
Because of your grace my life has been changed
Since you poured out your mercy on me

Thank you, dear Lord, for the sweet peace you give
That helps me to get through this life I must live
When I call on your name, I can trust you will give
A joy to my heart once again

I am not able to stand without your mercy.  
I am not able to walk without your grace
I cannot see beyond the dawn of each new day.  
Without you as my guide and my strength

I am not strong enough to face the challenge
I am not brave enough to fight the fight
I cannot understand the trials that come my way
Without your mercy and your grace

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

I cannot see the end of this trial
I do not know how it all will turn out
I can only trust in you, my God
To walk me through this fight

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

By myself I am lost in this world of unknowns
Desperately trying to figure life out
Then your Spirit comes in and calms my soul
And I can rest in your embrace

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

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
Effective Prayer

You’re Welcome

Leave a reply 
There are so many times
I say Thank You Lord
For the wonderful things you have done
But oft I'm so busy
Giving Him thanks
That I don't listen to His response

I think, if I’d listen
To hear His soft voice
The words He would say would be clear
He would once again
Tell me of His great love
As He whispers these words in my ear

Your welcome to my peace
More peace then you’ve ever known
I’ll shower it on you each day
So you’ll never feel alone

Your welcome to my joy
That bubbles up from deep within
Though trials may come in your life
My joy will help you to win

Your welcome to my healing
For sickness and heartache and pain
You no longer have to suffer
My healing will touch you again

Your welcome to my mercy
I extend it to you each day
I paid the punishment for your sin
So you can be free from your shame

Your welcome to my grace 
I desire to bless you so much
By faith take the gifts that I give you
Allow me your life to touch

I feel He would go on and on
Welcoming me to His love
The list of His blessings is endless
He showers them down from above

So the next time I thank Him, I’ll listen
To see if these words He will say
And then I will take time to praise Him
Day after day after day


Prayer

Leave a reply 
If you want to touch God
Each and every day
Then all you have to do is pray
If you want to reach Jesus
Each and every day
Then all you have to do is pray

It’s really not too difficult
Or hard to comprehend
Just talk to Him like any other friend
He’s always got an ear
Open to your heartfelt words
He will listen close to every prayer you send

Prayer is the answer
To every earthly need
It’s the way to move the heavens and the earth
Prayer is the weapon
God has given us to use
Whenever there’s a need that we observe

Prayer heals the sick
Prayer frees the captive
Prayer casts out demons
Prayer brings the victory 
Prayer grows our faith
Prayer builds the church

More powerful than lightning
More effective than attack
Prayer stops the enemy cold
So easy to accomplish
So successful to employ
Prayer is a weapon that is bold

Let’s band together church
And really make a difference
Let’s take back this world the devil stole away
Just find a quiet place
And take a little time
To sit before the Lord and pray

What a Change

Leave a reply 
I was sure
No one could hear my cry
No one could feel my hurt
No one could truly love me

Then I found
Jesus would hear my prayer
Jesus would heal my pain
Jesus would always love me

I knelt down
And prayed through in tears
And prayed for His peace
And prayed He would save me

He came in
And filled up my soul
And filled me with joy
And filled the void in my heart

Now I know
His love has no end
His love is by grace
His love shows His mercy

What a change He brought
To my longing heart
What a Savior He is to me
Because He has set me free

He’s all that I ever sought
To fill up my poor dead heart
And He’ll do the same for you
If you’ll only ask Him to

Bowing before you, down on my knees

Who Will You Follow?

Leave a reply 
I bowed my head and heard His voice
“My son, it’s time to make your choice.
Will you follow this world and it’s ways
Or follow me all of your days?”

I said “Dear Lord, I follow you
In everything I say and do.
I want your love to flow through me
For this entire world to see”

He then spoke in his loving way
“My Son, your life is now in sway
The world still has it’s hold on you
It’s time you showed your love is true”

I said “Dear Lord, what must I do
To prove that I would follow you”
He came real close to me and said
“My child, your self needs to be dead.

No more can sin be part of you
No more will lies and cheating do
No more can pride lift up your head
No more can selfish ways be bred
No more can words be harsh and cruel
No more can anger be the rule
No more can sin be part of you
If to me you’ll dare be true”

I bowed my head and closed my eyes
And said a prayer that reached the skies
I asked him to forgive my ways
Vowed that I would change this day

I’ll put aside those things I did
That aren’t spawned from your love within
And men will see the light shine through
In everything I say and do.

I felt His loving hands touch mine
And felt His holy love divine
He said “My child, that’s all I ask
I knew that you could do the task”

So from now on, please let me know
If you His love I do not show
Let mercy reign and grace abound
To everyone who comes around

For my desire is plan to see
That my Lord is pleased with me
For that is what my life is for
To bring much pleasure to my Lord















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.
