My Heavenly Father

Leave a reply

I once had a Father on earth

Who I barely knew at all

He left us when I was young

And He hardly ever called

 

We would get a gift at Christmas

And a visit here and there

But through time I grew bitter

And didn’t even care.

 

The anger inside grew mighty

As I reached my teenage years

I got into things angered my mom

And had her often in tears

 

I could not find my way through life

I struggled just to survive

The time had to come to turn around

Or I might take my life

 

Then a friend from a long time ago

Came and told me a story I knew

But He told it in such a different way

I listened and heard the truth

 

I have a heavenly Father

Who loves me very much

A heavenly Father up above

Who came my heart to touch

 

He gave His own son

To die in my place

And covered my sin

With amazing grace

 

His mercy is greater

Than all my shame

He’ll live in my heart

And call me by name

 

And one day he’ll come

And take me home

To a life everlasting

Around His throne

 

I love my heavenly Father

He takes care of all my needs

My heavenly Father

He’ll always be there for me

 

High Above

Leave a reply
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me
He sends His mercy to my side
Each time I trip and fall
Such mercy is too much for me
I don’t deserve it all
His grace pours blessing in my life
That overwhelms my soul
I can’t contain the gratitude
That He has made me whole
But greatest of the gifts He shows
Is His great love for me
He gave His life upon a cross
That day at Calvary
This love is so amazing
So wonderful and strong
That every moment I’m awake
I sing my worship song
Let’s all rejoice
And lift our voice
The King is on the throne
He Reigns on high
His glory shines
And He calls us His own.
Lift up His name
Shout out His praise
He rules in majesty
He’s high above
All other gods
And sets his heart on me

True Worship

Leave a reply

Sometimes Hallelujah does it

Sometimes Praise the Lord

But I find worship not just words

It takes in so much more

 

Jesus said to feed the poor

And help all those in need

This command is just as strong

As praying on our knees

 

He asked us His grace to show

To all we see each day

Yet often when that grace should show

We turn and walk away

 

Jesus said forgive them all

Our enemies and friends

But we hold grudges endlessly

And waste in bitterness

 

When will we learn that kind and gentle

Is our Savors hope?

When will we learn our highest aim

Is the lowest road?

 

When will we learn humility

Is His wish for us?

When will we learn His Spirit’s voice

And in Him put our trust?

 

So come on church lets rise and sing

With voices raised up high

And let’s be servants every time

A need should come on by

Favor Undeserved

You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence
I will worship your sweet name
All the mercy you give
Freely into me, Lord
I do not deserve your love
Mercy that does pardon
All of my transgression
Mercy from your throne above
Then you pour your grace out
Favor undeserved, Lord
Freely you bestow your gifts
I can’t begin to measure
The blessings your grace brings me
Every day they help me live
Finally your love comes
Overwhelms my spirit
That you’d love a wretch like me
I am, oh, so thankful
You would look on me Lord
To wash away my sin and set me free
And soon you will came back
To take me home with thee
And I will praise your name
Through all eternity
You deserve the glory
You deserve the honor
You deserve highest praise
You deserve my worship
You deserve my reverence
I will worship your sweet name

You Promise

Leave a reply

Where else would I go Lord?

Where else can I find

All the promises you’ve given

Coming through in my life?

 

You promise refuge from the storm

A hiding place for my soul

So I will not be fearful

When the days grow cold

 

You promise a fortress around me

To strengthen me when I am weak

The walls of your mercy rise mighty

To keep out the enemy

 

You promise me health and deliverance

From all that has gone before

I now longer walk in my past life

I can walk in your victory, lord

 

You promise me peace and joy

In a world where these are lost

You fill me with both of these virtues

And promise there won’t be a cost

 

You promise me salvation

Redemption from my sin

A new life birthed within me

Your Holy Spirt within

 

But more than all these things above

You promise me your steadfast love

It’s crowned with grace and mercy sweet

I will bow before your feet

For you are worthy of my praise

For all the wonder of your name

I’ll lift you high in all my days

And praise you for your promises

The grows at His feet

But more than all these things above

He satisfies us with His love

His peace and joy does fill my soul

He satisfies and makes me whole

 

His healing flows to every part

His deliverance is for my heart

His salvation, pure and free

There’s nothing I can ever need

That my God doesn’t fill with glee

So I am here to testify

That my God always satisfies

The Way of Love.

Save me Lord and I will be saved

Heal me Lord, and I will be healed

For you are my Savior, refuge and strength

There is nothing too hard for thee

 

Deliver me Lord, and I will be free

Redeem me Lord, and my debt will be paid

For you are my rock and my hiding place

Hold Me Fast

Leave a reply

I’m holding onto Jesus

And He’s holding onto me

And I’m never going to let Him go

Because I know He’ll always

Bring out the best in me

And I know He’ll always love me so

 

Sometimes I can get lazy

My path can go astray

I find myself a long way from His side

But every time I wander

He helps me find my way

And He’s still there with arms held open wide

 

Sometimes my faith can waiver

And my fear can rise up strong

And the doubt inside can cause me some alarm

But every time I stumble

He comes right to my aid

And gathers me into His loving arms

 

But when I am the strongest

And my faith is waxing strong

There’s nothing like His presence in my life

I sing about His glory

I praise Him endlessly

And I worship Him for Hs great sacrifice

 

His promises are true

His love will never fail

His faith in me grows stronger every day

So I will hold on fast

To the love that He bestows

And He will hold me fast all the way
