Jesus Paid It All

Jesus paid it all

To Him I give my life

He freed me with His call

Now I join Him in His fight

 

My debt of sin’s been paid

I can live life brand new

The war on sin’s been waged

He did this all for you

 

I’m called to firmly stand

When life has a grip on me

Your Word is my command

By Your blood I’ve been set free

 

These trials I must endure

I find my rest in You

Jesus You are my cure

When life seems all so blue

 

I believe Your Word is true

It stood the test of time

I want to live like you

Now that I no longer live in crime

 

I’m no longer living lost

Because You died and took my place

You hung up on the cross

So I can run this very race

 

You truly are my God

I stand in awe of You

Even though I’m flawed

I embrace your Holy Truth

 

I want to be like You

By obeying Your commands

You are faithful and so true

It’s in You presence I can firmly stand

Broken Pieces

Broken Pieces

 

I see broken pieces

All crashing down

Lying there scattered

On the ground

 

I’m wounded in battle

Weak in my faith

As I stand

The ground gives way

 

I keep falling and falling

Into the deep

My mind gives way

To the thoughts that just creep

 

There is no control

With these evil desires

My mind gives in

To what they require

 

I’m sick to my stomach

I have no control

Like broken pieces

I no longer feel whole

 

I cry and I cry

Then I hear a soft voice

He says, reach out your hand

Make a new choice

 

He say, here I am now

Your salvation draws near

I see my dear Savior

My choice becomes clear

 

I’m tasting Gods goodness

I will never turn back

Even though satan

Continues to attack

 

I’m walking with Jesus

I walk in His ways

He started a fire

That will blaze and just blaze

 

I still have my struggles

I feel weak at times

I’m no longer in darkness

I have peace in my mind

 

Life’s been a battle

The struggle is real

But I’m thankful to Jesus

My spirits been sealed

I Owe All To You, When Bound In Chains

I feel tied down

All bound in chains

When it pours

The cloud sends rain

My faith feels weak

During this test

Help me Lord

In You to rest

Lord, where is my faith

As I cry out to You

You are my God

You’ll carry me thru

In You there is hope

The tides will turn

I find hope in you

So my heart will no longer burn

Lord, give me rest

In troubled times

As I sit here

I write these rhymes

Lord, You know my heart

It belongs to You

You Are my God

When all seems blue

My spirit seems weary

I feel so lost

I ask myself

Have I counted all the cost

Lord, You are my refuge

When I feel like giving up

Help me remember

You fill my cup

I owe all to You

You paid it all

Help me walk

Boldly in this call
