Give Your All

Leave a reply

It only takes confession
Jesus Christ as Lord
Acceptance of His sacrifice
To take the place of yours

Do these things and you’ll be saved
From hells dark endless days
Your home will be in heaven
He’ll help you find your way

But why stand at the doorstep
When the blessings past the door
Go beyond the minimal
Give your all and reap rewards

Greater peace and joy are there
True hope and no more fear
Faith will come to drive out doubt
And He’ll wipe every tear

Give your all for Jesus
Give your all today
Give into the word of God
Let blessings come your way

Every Single Time

2 Replies

When I am down and feeling blue
I lift my eyes and look to you
Because I know you’ll see me through
Every single time

When I am sick or feeling pain
I look to you, Lord, yet again
Because I know your healing came
Every single time

Your mercy is remarkable
Your grace is ever free
I never will quite understand
The love you have for me

When I’m alone and feeling down
I look to you before I drown
Then you bring me to higher ground
Every single time

No eye can see
No tongue can tell
The greatness of your love
No one can start
To count the times
You’ve touched them from above

Your mercy is remarkable
Your grace is ever free
I never will quite understand
The love you have for me

A Brand New Start

Leave a reply

When I accepted Jesus my friends thought I was nuts
I’d always been the party guy, no ifs, ands or buts
Now I spoke of love and peace, and they all turned their nose
They thought that I had lost my mind, and I should turn and go

But I persisted in my way of telling them the truth
There was no controversy on the change that I’d gone through
And as I witnessed of the cross, and what He’d done for me
They slowly opened up their minds so I could help them see

One, then two, then a couple more finally gave in
They asked me how they too  could know this freedom from within
I told them it was simple, just ask Jesus in your heart
He will come just as He said, giving you a brand new start

No More Hockey Pucks

Leave a reply

When I was young I had much zip in every step I took
My days were filled with busy things not usually by the book
Climbing trees and catching frogs and slapping hockey pucks
The fact that I was rarely hurt I passed it off to luck

When I grew older, wiser too, I found myself messed up
I’d taken drugs and drink in droves and other nasty stuff
I needed remedy real fast or thought that I would die
No luck could get me out of this.  I wanted to survive

One day I heard that Jesus died to cleanse me of my sin
I asked Him to forgive me and come to live within
No luck or circumstance can ever take the place of Him
I now know peace and joy are real, and with Him I can win

So if your feeling down and out and have no where to turn
Please listen to these words of mine before you die and burn
Ask Jesus too forgive your sins, He’ll give a brannd  new start
You never wll regret the day He comes into your heart

What An Amazing Story

Leave a reply

I listened to the Lord when He spoke to me
Knew that He loved me abundantly
And I knew what He spoke would come to be
At a time He had already planned

He told me that I should tell everyone
Of the work on the cross that he had done
I should tell of the Father who sent His Son
Because of His love for the world

What an amazing story
What an amazing friend
He asks us to share
And make them aware
Of His love that will last ‘til the end

I asked Him for boldness so I could speak
To all those who lovingly I would seek
And tell them the story of His great deed
And hopefully they would be saved

He told me don’t worry about the results
My job was to tell them the truth that’s all
The Spirit would be there to give them a call
The word would not return void

What an amazing story
What an amazing friend
He asks us to share
And make them aware
Of His love that will last ‘til the end
 
I’ll tell them I’ll tell them of your great love
I’ll praise you forever for all you have done
Until all my friends have been saved and won
To your precious holy way

What an amazing story
What an amazing friend
He asks us to share
And make them aware
Of His love that will last ‘til the end

Life Takes It’s Turns

Leave a reply

I’ve always loved good music
It causes my heart to dance
There’s always a joy when I’m singing
To a song that I find by chance

We used to listen to records
Forty-five RPM was the speed
Those singles would jump on the turnstile
And we’d all start dancing with ease

Then 8 track and CD and DVD came
The records still there, but now small
And I listen to much different music
That lifts up a praise to the Lord.

Life changes fast in this world of ours
There’s little that remaiins the same
The only exception is Jesus
His truth and love will never change

If you need some come assurance
That will always be there for you
Just call on the name of Jesus
His record is always true.

Life Anew

Leave a reply

I could hear the echo softly
As I went to see old friends
Their quiet murmuration
Came so quickly without end

A change had taken place in me
That made them stop and pause
They saw a new man standing there
And wondered ’bout the cause

I told  them I’d been born again
Asked Jesus in my heart
I put away my dark old life
He gave me a new start

Now that they had seen it
They had to know it’s true
And thus began my journey
To start my life anew

Come To The Real Deal

3 Replies

When you think about freedom or morality
You have to think abstractly at best
For these things are subjective it matters who you ask
One person things much different  than the rest

Many think that God is at the top of abstract thought
His existence they aren’t sure is real
But I surely tell you that He is more alive
More than sun or wind or rain or stars reveal

You see I know these things because He changed my life
From someone who was rough and full of wrong
He gave me purpose in my life and filled my heart with love
His presence is with in me all day long

So if you need something to keep you from an abstract life
I have the answer you are looking for
Just ask my Jesus to come in and take away your sin
And take away your sin forevermore

Taking The Bait

Leave a reply

My mind was blank
I didn’t care about life
Or after life
Many said I was
A human vegetable
At one time
Party after tumultuous party
Always a little
Out of my mind
Not caring
Who I hurt
Or where I was going

Then an old friend
Caused me to ruminate
About a Savior
Who my life would illuminate
I heard his words
And I took the bait
Now I am born again
