Right Here

2 Replies 
I’m down in a whole in deepest despair
I feel like I’m drowning an gasping for air
I’m filled up with sorrow
No hope for tomorrow 
This life seems to get me nowhere

Then I heard of your love, your mercy and grace
I bowed on my knees in deepest disgrace
I cried out forgive me
You heard my hearts plea
Then you lifted me out of that miry clay

Thank you, Jesus for your love
Thank you, Jesus for your love
You left your throne above to die for me
Thank you. Jesus for your grace
All your blessings I embrace
How I long to give you praise eternally

Now I walk in your Spirit every day
And I talk with you softly as I go my way
You’re here with me in a wonderful way
You’re here with me in a wonderful way
I don’t have to worry, I don’t have to fear
For when I cry out, you are right here

Right here to save me. Right here to heal me. Right here to love me
You are right here.
Right here to lead me.  Right here to hear me.  Right here to deliver
You are right here

Fill Me With You

  I come to you hungry, Lord 
 Hungry for mercy, Lord
 Hungry for manna from your living word
  
 I come to you thirsty, Lord 
 Thirsty for more of you
 Thirsty for living water of life 
  
 I come to you broken 
 Broken and spilled out
 Please come and fill me
 Fill me with you
  
 More of you Jesus
 More of you Jesus
 More of you Jesus 
 Fill me with you

Through the Night

 Through the night
 I rest assured
 That you alone will give me every breath
 Through the storm
 I am secure
 For you alone provide me with your strength
  
 In every situation
 I trust in your salvation
 To guide me down the pathway of my life
  
 You’re my Lord
 You are my King
 You are my Savior
 My everything.
 And I will trust
 In you alone
 Lord I adore you.

This was the very first song God gave me back in 2010. After this, the flood gates opened and the songs and choruses just kept coming. I thank God for the advice of my Pastor, who told me to just keep listening when I told him the story of this song. Best advice I ever received!

Mercy Greater Than My Sin

Leave a reply 
All around me people worship
Giving praise to God above
Filled with joy they lift their voices
Celebrating His great love
 
I can’t help but join the chorus
Lifting hands I humbly sing
He has given me such mercy
Mercy greater than my sin
 
In my deepest, darkest caverns
Down below this mask I wear
I am drowning in my weakness
With a test that I still bare
 
I know that I should walk away
From all the devil’s schemes
Every day he comes alongside
Robbing all my righteous dreams
 
Every word of praise I’m singing
Works to drown his dreadful voice
Still I find my flesh is weakened
Even though my soul rejoiced
 
God of heaven, Lord of mercy
Take away this heart of stone
Fill me with desire that’s burning
Set my mind on you alone
 
Again I raise my soul to praise Him
He has made me pure within
I will be forever grateful
Mercy greater than my sin

Be Glorified, Lord of all the Heavens
Be Glorified, Lord of all the earth
Be Glorified, You alone are worthy of my praise

Be Magnified, Lord of all the Heavens
Be Magnified, Lord of all the earth
Be Magnified, You alone are worthy of my praise

I will lift my hands toward heaven, I will worship you alone
I will bow my head in reverence at your throne
I will lift my voice in praises to the Lord of all the earth
Who can ever comprehend your awesome worth

I need Him so desperately. It seems every day brings a new trial, a new test. There is seemingly no end that my enemy won’t stoop to in trying to lure me away from my only hope. The old song says “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness.” This has always been true and it will always be true. God gave the hymn writer these words so that I might remember this truth. If I want my hope renewed, my spirit restored, my heart feeling loved and my soul satisfied then I need Jesus. I need Him every hour of every day. I need Him no matter where I go or where I do. I need Him leading and guiding me into the pastures he has for me. I know that wherever he leads me, good will come out of it. I don’t need to worry or fret. He is the one whom I must seek. He is my fortress and my stronghold.

Where do you stand today? Do you stand on the solid rock? Or are you stuck in the miry clay. Are you facing a fiery furnace or is there a sea blocking your path? Wherever you are in life right now, I promise He will hear you if you call out today. Make Him Lord of your life. Give Him complete control. Let Him light the fire within you that only He can light. Lift His name up high, and He will lift you as well.

Matthew 6:33 King James Version (KJV)
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Be Unto You

Leave a reply

From the rising sun ‘til the new day dawns,
I lift my praise to thee.

From the mountains high to the oceans deep,
I lift my praise to thee.

All is yours. All I see.
I will bow down at your feet.

Honor, Glory, Power and dominion
Be unto you. Be unto you.
Praise and worship, all my ovation
Be unto you. Be unto you.

There is no one else in this universe worthy of our worship. People worship all kinds of things and all kinds of people. They go to places of worship and sing worship songs. They lift their voices and bow their heads in reverence to a variety of so-called gods. They pledge their allegiance and put their trust in a variety of hopeful ventures and pursuits. Many are so consumed by work, or play, or leisure or even ministry that they miss the whole point of our existence. We were made to worship. We were made to have fellowship with God. He desires to walk in the garden with us and not have us hide our face from Him. He desires that we be honest with Him and not try to shift the blame. He desires that we obey the simplest of rules because there are so few that really matter. Yet we pile on rules and laws just like the Pharisees did in Jesus time. Jesus only said we “must” do two things. Be born again and worship Him in spirit and in truth. Simple truths.

Are you caught up in worshiping something or someone other than Jesus? Are you bound up by rules and laws that say you must do this or that in order to gain your salvation? Did Jesus say you must do it? I implore you today to look to the Lamb of God, slain from the beginning of time for your sins. Worship Him alone!

Revelation 5:13 King James Version
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

I Lift Him Up

The desire wells up within me
Until I cannot contain it inside
My heart starts to beat a bit faster
And my hands lift up high to the sky

I raise my voice to the heavens
And His praise comes flowing out
My feet cannot keep from dancing
As I worship my Lord with a shout

I lift Him up
The name of Jesus Christ
I lift Him up
The one who gives new life
I lift Him up
My Savior and my Lord
The one that I adore
The King of Kings forever
I lift Him up

I sense His presence around me
As I lift up my voice and sing
Eternal Hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ my King

I lift Him up
The name of Jesus Christ
I lift Him up
The one who gives new life
I lift Him up
My Savior and Lord
The one that I adore
The King of Kings forever
I lift Him up

He is to be magnified, Jesus
He is to be glorified, Jesus
He is to be exalted
Jesus Christ my Lord

I lift Him up
The name of Jesus Christ
I lift Him up
The one who gives new life
I lift Him up
My Savior and Lord
The one that I adore
The King of Kings forever
I lift Him up
