When I am unable because of weakness in me
I rely on your strength and power and rest in Thee
Your perfect work will be done when I am weak
You are a strong tower and strength to the meek
Your grace is sufficient and is our strength and help
In our weakness your grace and mercy will be felt
Your grace and love has changed everything for me
I am a witness of your grace that has set me free~
Thanking precious Jesus for His amazing grace

The Sweet Name Of Jesus
The name of Jesus brings praises to the heart
Drawing those to the Father who are apart
Jesus paid the cost with His life to set us free
He was lifted up on the cross for you and for me
Love came down freed us and went back to glory
Peace and joy came in believing the Gospel story
Our praises are all for you for Your redeeming love
You changed our world by coming down from above
Jesus your name brings peace and joy to the hearts
When our praises end somebody elses starts~

Press On
On this walk home If we should stumble along the way
Look to Jesus and press on to make it another day
We must keep our eyes on Jesus to make it home
And not chase every dream that will cause us to roam
If we turn our eyes from Jesus we will slowly drift away
Things in life can take us from Him and cause us to stray
The very moment we take the chance to get out of touch
We must turn back to the One who loves us so much
Jesus being our source we can press on and in to Him
He will enable us with His strength He will surely send ~

To Know Him More
Storms come along to help us know God more
Sometimes we forget what the storms come for
They come to draw us to the Lord as close as can be
So our life will speak how the Lord has comforted me
In our times of trouble, Jesus, we call out your name
We saw Peter called to you and to him you came
If you are going through a storm today, on Him call
For what He has done for one He will do for us all
After the storm comes the calm and skies so blue
And joy replaces mourning , Jesus we love you ~

Made One In Him
Our Lord wants us to share love with one another
And be patient and kind to our sister and brother
Just as He shares the well of the living water with all
He bids to come and drink to the great and the small
His grace and love captured me and I stand in awe
For giving me the vision of a perfect love that I saw
Taking me to a place where all are loved the same
Made One in and through Him , bless His Holy name ~

Remembering You
Every single day things seem to remain the same
But i got to keep singing and praising your name
I dont want to get caught up in the moment of things
I want to see afar and hold to what i know hope brings
The thing that matters is I keep remembering You
Your word of promises that are all faithful and true
I want to do the impossible and take a leap in faith today
Holding to what I read in your word, all you had to say
On this journey of faith you will never leave me alone
Thank you Jesus for walking with me til I make it home~

Love That Longed To Be One Again
Seeking words to tell of this amazing love and grace
It is my delight to say, it is so pure, come and taste
We were so far away from our loving Heavenly Father
We belonged to Him but then we left Him for another
Our hearts and souls longed for His sweet spirit within
For sin had seperated us and we were far from Him
He knew from the beginning and made away for the lost
To come back to Him through His Divine work on the cross
Sweet forgivness and mercy comfort and love came to us
We had no way of earning it, all He asks is in His work trust ~

We Are His Joy
To know you go with us and will give us rest
Helps us make it through each trial and test
We would love to escape each raging storm
But to your praise and glory is why we are born
We don't see you and yet in you we believe
We hope in your word and comfort we recieve
You are pleased and rejoice and sing over us
Because our life we have placed in your trust~

Come away to a quiet place and sup with me
Won't you give me time so that you can see
Just how much I want to be a part of you
I want to show you love faithful and true
Come to me and you will soon come to see
How precious you are and find rest in me

Pulled in by the world and have gone astray
But I am still call to them day after day
Come back to me, I am the only way ~

The Lord knows the thoughts of our mind
Thoughts of vanity and things of every kind

We must get hungry for the Word of God and learn
To tell the difference from truth and a lie and discern
We must know what is evil and what is good and right
Depart from evil and do what is pleasing in His sight
We must stay in His word and be encouraged everyday
Keep our eyes stayed on Him so He can show us the way
We must be lead and guided into truth as He said
Depending on Jesus Our Lord, He is the head~

Come Out Of Her
The Word's of God must continually be sounded
So in the truth people may be firmly grounded
God has called "Come out of her and come to Me"
God is calling and separating His people you see
Come out of the world and touch her not, she is unclean
She appears to be harmless but she is not as she seems
God wants sons and daughters belonging only to Him
All who hear and come, He will be a Father to them~

Don't Give Up
It means so much to follow the right way
To stay on track and not be led astray.
There is only One way given to us
Jesus we must rely upon and trust!
We must be tried in order to see,
If faith was in Him or things or me!
Faced with sufferings, will we endure?
Or will we give up with hearts unsure?
The Word is encouragement for us today,
He is with us walking each step of the way~

His Greatness
Mere words can not describe the beauty I see
As I look to the One who loved and saved me
As I draw closer to gaze upon and behold
My vision becomes clearer as things unfold
When i look to the heavens they tell me a story
And show me a beautiful picture of God's glory
When I look around in the earth and see
All the handiwork that came from Thee
When i think upon your Divine work and being
I am in Awe of what my eyes are seeing ~~

That all things are held in God's hand

For we are a part of His eternal creation

We bring Him joy because in Him we trust

Two Fountains
There are two fountains from where wisdom flows
Human wisdom which leads to stress and woes
Or Spiritual wisdom that comes from above
Sent down to comfort and lead us by love
Human wisdom comes from the carnal mind
It is a form of control that isn't gentle or kind
Deceived and captured held in this place
Not giving the soul hope not even a trace
Spiritual wisdom gives us a choice you see
Saying, come drink from me and be set free
The mind is a real war and battle ground
The Spirit fights for the soul that is bound
Human wisdom keeps us bound at any length
Spiritual wisdom gives us joy for our strength
Two fountains to drink from are open today
One is free and the other you must pay~

The Word Of God
The Word of God sent down here to me and you
Has been tried and found trustworthy and true
Inspired by the Holy Spirit words for the men to write
So we could stand strong in the power of His might
The word of God is power from on high to receive
It will set a captive soul free if they can only believe
The Word of God is the Spirit of truth and is our sword
That we use to destroy the lie for the Word is the Lord
Our enemy is skilled in trickery he is the great deceiver
He prowls about for souls and he wants to stop the believer
He wants to stop those having the testimony of our Lord
But we have been given His word the doubled edge sword
Keep your shield of faith up and use what He gave
Be a good soldier and fight for souls He died to save~

He is all wise all powerful and all knowing and seeing
He is Just and Holy and Perfect through and through

God is the Father the creator of the whole universe
By the power of His word things exist and disperse
He manifested Himself as the Son so we could see
His great love and compassion He has for you and me
He is meek long-suffering loving and gentle and kind
Reconciling us back to the Father with peace of mind
The source of all we need is found in God's Son
He came to do the Father's will and it will be done
Here on earth as it is heaven He taught us to pray
He came as the light the truth and He is the way ~

Sufferings Has It's Reward
Faith comes from God and has been given to us
We will be defeated if we do not learn how to trust
When the odds are great against us and we fear
We must remember God is not far from us but near
We must stop looking at the greater odds to see
But look to Jesus who can calm the raging sea
When i think of Job sufferings and all he went through
He saw Almighty God that he thought he already knew
He said he heard about God by the hearing of His ear
His eyes of understanding opened when God was near
Through Job's sufferings he came to the secret place
Where him and the most High God met face to face~

Fashioned By His Hand
The Creator of good and the beauty I see
His handiwork speaks to the heart of me
When i think of a place void and without form
And then His Spirit moved upon it to transform
It was covered with water and dark as night
Then He spoke and said "Let there be light"
Then dividing darkness and light into night and day
He made the heavens and placed the waters to stay
The waters were the seas dry land was the earth
And they brought forth things that they could birth
God formed man and gave him the image of Him
Male and female He created the both of them
God gave man dominion over every living thing
Blessing them and to Him our praises we bring
Life is a miracle and is as precious as a gem
Something void was turned into beauty by Him~

He will shape us into beauty to behold
A lump of clay turned into fine china we'll see

The heavens are magnificent in glory
The earth is full of your handiwork
The Bible shows your many promises
Written to us in your Holy book
Laughter is delightful to hear
A baby is adorable to see
But nothing can compare
To the hope that lives in me
The sky is your beautiful design
Full of color or dark and gray
The rainbow is a sign of a covenant
But mercy and love is here to stay
Life is a miracle full of wonder
Thoughts are like time and space
Searching high and low endlessly
Just to get a glimpse of your face
Faith is strong and is our strength
Joy is unspeakable and overflows
But two hearts that become one
That feeling only heaven knows~

Blessed God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Who freely gave us Your precious Son without price
Your plan made before creation way back then
How He would come to deliver and save fallen men
You have given us a lively hope in the death of His Son
Now much more we shall live because what He has done
Oh, this is the greatest love story that will ever be told
We can read The Holy book and see the truth unfold
How He gave Himself to reconcile us back the Father
It is by and through only Jesus for there is no other
The soul that was empty and void longing to be filled
Can now have Your Spirit for Your plan was fulfilled~~

Just one moment changes things by a smile
Hugs and smiles are free and very worthwhile
Life can be complex with pleasure and pain
Failures and achievements sunshine and rain

But causes one hope for a better tomorrow
Many mistakes are made that can not be undone
But hold to the promise of forgiveness in the Son~

Eye hasn't seen nor ear heard what's prepared
He will reveal them to those who love Him and trust
By His Spirit we can see the things prepared for us
The higher view hinges on faith so one can see
Walk by faith not by sight to see what shall be~

Doing His purpose for His worthy name

Others have walked there before you and me
Glorify God in the midst of our adversity today
The people from old encourage us in the way

By depending on God trust was their gain
They trusted Him and were not ashamed
Victory came by promises they claimed
In our weakness God's glory is revealed
