MARRIAGE-MARY’S
HOLY LAMB-MASTERPIECE-MAY YOU FIND A BLESSING IN ME-
MINDFUL-MY DESTINATION
“MARRIAGE” by
Jeff Leslie 7/28/92
Marriage
is the
oppurtunity to make
someone smile every day
for the
rest
of your
life.
“MARY’S HOLY LAMB” by Jeff Leslie 12/78, 1988
Mary had a little Lamb
And Jesus is his name
He was born - the Son of man
None was born the same
Everywhere that the Jesus went
The children surely came
It was the golden rule
The learning tool of love that was His fame
Sing a song of Jesus with a heart that's full of love
Sing a song of Jesus to the Father up above
Sing a song of Jesus the very best you can
Sing a song of Jesus, of Mary's Holy lamb
If you are blue, come blow your horn
He’ll wipe your tears away
He doesn't like to see you mourn
You could be bright as day
And any time you need in Him near
He's always there to stay
If up to him you'll reach then he will teach you
To love, to laugh, and pray
Just be nimble. Just you be quick
Just let Jesus be your Candlestick
For He will guide you
Clearly lighting your way
Everyday
Sing a song of Jesus with a heart that's full of love
Sing a song of Jesus to the Father up above
Sing a song of Jesus the very best you can
Sing a song of Jesus, of Mary's Holy lamb
Mary had a little Lamb
He washed me white as snow
“MASTERPIECE” by Jeff Leslie 1/16/85
The room was in dimly lit so that I could barely see
The fate filled hat was passed until it finally came to me
My trembling hand reached in and slowly pulled out tragedy
What will it be? What will it be?
Now above my neck and is all I’ve got
If I was a horse they'd have me shot
Lord, there was a time I wished I was
But then I would have missed
The awesome power of Your love.
A love that heals a broken heart and fills an empty soul
Can take this broken man and make him feel completely whole
And love that with one word turn clear water into wine
Can surely make a masterpiece from this humble life of mine
Let me be a lesson, Lord, to everyone I meet
What you get will always be much more than you can see
What you are within your heart is what you’ll always be
Come live through me. Come live through me
All I am is what You’ve got
I am glad a horse is what I'm not
Although there was a time I wished I was
But then I would have missed
The awesome power of Your love.
A love that heals a broken heart and fills an empty soul
Can take this broken man and make him feel completely whole
And love that with one word turn clear water into wine
Can surely make a masterpiece from this humble life of mine
“MAY YOU FIND A BLESSING IN ME” by Jeff Leslie
2/14/02
From the birth of all time You’ve been giving
For that is the way love can be
If You stopped for a moment from giving so much
Would You find there is much to receive?
Let my prayers bring fragrance to Your garden
Let my faith move a hill to rest Your feet
Let my praise give You joy till Your heart is full
May You find there’s a blessing in me
Lord, all I desire is Your pleasure
For Your pleasure brings pleasure to me
So whatever will place a smile on Your face
Let that be the essence of me
Let my prayers bring fragrance to Your garden
Let my faith move a hill to Your feet
Let my praise give You joy till Your heart is full
May You find there’s a blessing in me
All of my life You have blessed me
So now is the time I bless You
Let my prayers bring fragrance to Your garden
Let my faith move a hill to Your feet
Let my praise give You joy till Your heart is full
May You find there’s a blessing in me
Let my praise give You joy till Your heart is full
May You find there’s a blessing in me
“MINDFUL” by Jeff Leslie 6/16/89 Psalm
8:3-5
Sometimes I have to stop. I stand amazed at Your creation, Lord
With praise and adoration I will honor You
I feel so blessed to be a part of all the beauty that I see
Because I know within my heart that You are mindful, Lord, of me
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
I know by the beauty that I see
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
Sometimes I have to stop. I bow to thank you for forgiving me
O Lord, when I'm not living just the way I should
And I can rest assured believing I will live eternally
Because I know within my heart that You are mindful, Lord, of me
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
I know for Your Son has set me free
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
For a while Your Son was lower than the angels
But He was near enough to put You in my reach
One day You gave Him up for my salvation
One day You gave Him up while mindful, Lord, of me
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
I know for Your Son has set me free
Oh, Lord, You are mindful of me
When I consider thy heavens, the
work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;What
is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest
him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned
him with glory and honour. (Psa. 8:3-5)
''MY DESTINATION''
by Jeff Leslie 1/1/91
Another sun is dawning casting shadows in my way
A maze without a map for me to use
My feet are sore from stumbling over stones from yesterday
And all the falls have made my body bruised
But a Way has been provided that leads straight into the heart
Of heaven where my life will be made new
With Jesus I will reach my destination
With Jesus I'm determined to endure
With Jesus I will reach my destination
With Jesus Christ my destiny's secure
An ocean of temptation's crashing waves against my shore
Without a ship to reach the other side
My soul is weak and weary from the sea I swam before
My strength is drained from fighting with the tide
But a power's been provided so I'll rise above it all
Until I'm where the Holy One resides
With Jesus I will reach my destination
With Jesus I'm determined to endure
With Jesus I will reach my destination
With Jesus Christ my destiny's secure
