Heavens Door

I went through life when I was young

Aimlessly at best

Drugs and booze and sex  were found

And sober was a test

I thought I loved the life I lived

But one day realized

That all the things that I believed

Would soon turn into lies

 

Maybe if I’d turned away

From all the party life

And maybe if I’d told the truth

Instead of telling lies

And maybe if hadn’t stolen

Things throughout’t my life

I’d have a home in heaven

And things would be all right

 

But then I learned there’s just one way

To get through heaven’s door

Acepting Jesus as my Savior

Gets me there for sure

There are no maybes in Gods word

His promises endure

So ask Him in your heart today

And heaven will be yours

 

 

Written in response to the daily prompt Maybe

My Everything

Beautiful Savior

You are to me

Gave up your life

To set me free

I’ll be with you

For eternity

All because of your love

 

Wonderful counselor

You’re always there

To hear every heartache

And every prayer

Giving me counsel

Helping me hear

Wisdom that comes from above

 

Gracious redeemer

You give me hope

When I was lost

You made heaven my home

Took all my past

And washed it like snow

You have a plan for my life

 

Miraculous Healer

Of all my disease

Your blood was shed

To bring me your peace

Whether my body

Or mind is not eased

Your touch will calm ever fear

 

Marvelous friend

You’ll always be

Walking along

As you care for my needs

Often you carry me

When I am weak

You are my hero and Lord

 

Jesus, Oh Jesus

You’re my everything

Lord of all Lords

King of all Kings

From now and forever

Your praise I will sing

Since you came into my heart

My Lord, My Love, My Life

Constantly abiding

In Him I will stay

Bask in His love

Follow His way

Never to leave

His precious side

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

Amazing grace

He’s given to me

Paid all me debt

Then set me free

Out of the darkness

Into the light

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

The Old Rugged Cross

Is a vision of love

Total redemption

Sent from above

His precious blood

Shed there for mine

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

Great is His faithfulness

He’s always there

Sunrise to sunset

Answer my prayers

He walks beside me

In Him I’ll abide

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

It is well with my soul

When I call Him Lord

He is my Savior

Whom I adore

He gives me peace

When the world gives me strife

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

 

Just as I am

He accepts me each day

I’ll never be worthy

Of His awesome grace

He looks beyond

The flaws in my life

He is my Lord

My love and my life.

Child of the King

Only through Christ the blessings flow

Only through Christ will I ever know

The promise from Heaven He bestows

To all who call on His name

 

He bought me at such a great price

By becoming my precious sacrifice

Paying the debt of sin in my life

So that now I am redeemed

 

His blood wiped away all my sin

Now God will never bring it up again

It’s just as if I’d never sinned

Justified by His blood

 

No longer will sickness rule in my life

Because I am healed by the horrible stripes

Now I claim victory when evils rise

Delivered from pain and disease

 

My mind is now free from doubt and fear

The thorns that he wore brought a covering here

Now I can now he will always be near

Peace and Joy flood my life today

 

He opened the way to heaven for me

He calls me His son, and He says I am free

He sets me apart because I believed

Sanctified through the cross

 

He’s there for me in good times or bad

Giving me guidance that I never had

His Holy Spirit shows me His plan

To prosper my life every day

 

From now on I’ll praise Him with all of my heart

I’ll sing out my worship, I’ll never depart

His precious love has set me apart

I am a child of the King

I Was

I was smart

Even on the honor role every year

Near the top of my class

But not smart in life

 

I had means

Money was not a big issue for me

I bought what I wanted

Drugs and booze

My means were wasted

 

I was stuck

In a world I disdained

Too stubborn to leave

Too tied up with my friends

I was stuck

 

I escaped

Threw off my stubbornness

Repented of my sin

Asked Jesus in my heart

And life began again

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Stubborn

Forever Yours

I bow to you Lord Jesus

You are my sovereign King

You gave your life to set me free

I owe you everything

I offer up my worship

I offer up my praise

I’ll follow you with all my heart

The rest of my days

 

You gave to me your mercy

And wiped away my past

Gone were all the wrongs I’d done

Your love was mine at last

Your joy replaced my sadness

Your peace replaced my fears

I can’t repay the debt I owe

Forever I am yours

 

You offered me your grace

So amazing and so free

Once I asked you for forgiveness

You did so willingly

You gave to me a new life

Now heaven is my hope

I’m so in awe of what you’ve done

My heart is now your home

 

Oh the wondrous love of Jesus

Came to earth to die alone

He our Savior gave His own life

Now He claims us as His own

Full of blessings freely given

Has a plan to prosper me

How can I refuse to praise Him

When His child I’ll always be

 

Praise the mighty name of Jesus

All the earth will bow to Him

Lift His name in solemn worship

Give your life and offering

Praise the wondrous name of Jesus

Lift Him high in joyous song

He is worthy of our worship

Let’s rejoice all the day long

I’ll Turn

If I need a Savior

I’ll turn to my friend

His name is Jesus

He loves to the end

 

If I need a healer

I’ll turn to my Lord

He cares for me

And He heals every sore

 

If I need deliv’rance

I’ll turn to the King

He is the one

Who controls everything

 

If I need direction

I’ll turn to the Word

He has a plan for my life

And it’s good

 

If I need a refuge

I’ll turn to His arms

He’s always there

To keep me from harm

 

If I need correction

I’ll turn to His love

His mercy will triumph

His grace is enough

 

No matter the need

He meets every one

So I’ll trust in Him

And give Him my love

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday I was a sinner

Lost in the depths of despair

I had no hope

And I could not cope

And I didn’t really care

 

Yesterday hell was my future

I partied all the night long

I didn’t know

That I was so low

Until someone showed I was wrong

 

Then I met Jesus and life took a turn

My sin was all gone and a new life begun

He saved me from hell and turned me around

Now I am standing on solid ground

 

Today I am forgiven

The slate of my life is wiped clean

He died for my sin

Gave me peace within

The greatest gift I’ve ever seen

 

Today heaven’s my future

Eternal life spent with Him

He rose again

Death does not reign

Due to His love I win

 

When I met Jesus, everything changed

He buried my past and showed me His plan

Now all I want is to tell everyone

Their future is better with Jesus the Son

 

Tomorrow life can be different

You don’t have to live in your sin

He gave His life

The supreme sacrifice

So that you could have His joy within

 

Tomorrow, you can know heaven

And the glorious future He’s planned

Accept Him today

Repent and be saved

And forever you’ll dwell in His hand

Reach the Lost

I will cling to you, Jesus
All your words are true, Jesus
Everything you say
Everything you do
Is always for my good

I will follow you, Jesus
All my heart to you, Jesus
I will never fear
As long as you are near
Hold me in your arms

There is comfort in the arms of Jesus
There’s a peace that He only can give
Life is more when He is my Shepard
In His presence is where I’ll live

There is healing in the name of Jesus
Every hurt, every scar, every pain
Has to flee at his glorious mention
His mercy comes again and again

I will worship you,  Jesus
All my praise to you, Jesus
Lifting up my voice
I will rejoice
At the sound of your name

I will bow to you, Jesus
Lead others to you,  Jesus
You are King of Kings
You are Lord of Lords
Forever on the throne

Take my life and make me a vessel
Flow through me with your awesome love
Help me show all those who surround me
Glimpses of your amazing love

Give me words that reach to their hearts
Give them ears so they truly will hear
Guide my path every day to that person
Who needs your love to draw them near.

 

I will testify,  Jesus
Of your sacrifice,  Jesus
Your abiding love
Sent down from above
Reach the lost through me.

Set Free

There once was a day

When I was a slave

To all the desires of my hearts

Those desire were bad

And I found myself sad

That my life was so lost and apart

 

Then a friend came along

Singing a song

About how He had been set free

I asked him to share

And He gave me a dare

Call on Jesus and you will see

 

So I called out that name

And I felt all my pain

Suddenly turn into peace

A joy filled my soul

My spirit felt whole

As I praised Him and fell on my knees

 

I am no longer bound

I know the profound

Love Jesus has for me

He gave up His life

The supreme sacrifice

So that captives would be set free
