Walking By Faith

2 Corinthians 5:6-7

So we are alwaysof good courage. We know thatwhile we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith not by sight.

Walking By Faith

 

We walk by faith not by sight

We are called out of darkness, into His light

We have not a clue, God sees who we are

He knows that we’re evil, without a pure heart

To pray is the answer, asking for Salvation to come

Christ died on the cross, for all, not just some

He sent us His Spirit, to be our true guide

He will never leave us, He’s always by our side

To walk with Jesus is a blessing for sure

To believe in Jesus is sin’s only cure

Jesus is the answer to walking by faith

He is the answer, our penalty’s been waved

So to walk by faith, not by sight

Perseverance is the answer 

To standing firm in this fight

We Are Called To Love

We Are Called To Love

 

We are called to live not in fear

But to draw close to God, who is always near

 

We are called to be His feet and hands

To trust Him thru this all, He has a plan

 

We are called to walk humbly with our God

To love the world in spite of all our flaws

 

We are called to love the least of these

To ask for power thru prayer from our knees

 

We are called in the midst of tragedy

To show Christ’s love thru humility

 

We are called to love our enemies

Which takes strength from our knees

 

Above all, we are plainly called to love

To show the world there’s the God above

Heaven’s My Home

Heaven’s My Home

 

I’m bought with a price

He hung on a cross

He gave up His life

So, I’d no longer be lost

 

He conquered the grave

He set captives free

He was raised back to life

So, I’ll forever be free

 

Forgiveness came with a price

His blood spilled on the ground

He gave me a new life

Now I’m heavenward bound

 

I’m a justified sinner

He made me His own

It happened before time

Now heaven’s my home

 

I’ll forever be grateful

I’m indebted to serve

Thankful to Christ

I will follow His Word

 

He will always guide me

Wherever I go

Now I’ve tasted His goodness

So, my life it will show

 

Remember, I’m bought at a price

I can never go back

I will endure to the end

Even tho satan attacks

 

Tho, he tries his hardest

I know the battle is won

It comes from a man

That God calls His own Son

When Jesus Died

When Jesus Died

 

When Jesus died

He saved my soul

He gave me life

He made me whole

 

I walk with Him

It’s Him I please

It’s Him I trust

To walk in peace

 

When Jesus Died

He freed my soul

To make a choice

His Word to know

 

Now His Spirit

Lives in my heart

He changed my life

With a new start

 

When Jesus died

He freed me from

A life on drugs

Now I’m no longer numb

 

He changed my heart

Now it’s Him I serve

I obey His Word

So, I never swerve

 

When Jesus died

He paid the debt

For my sin

Now my ransoms met

 

I’m no longer guilty

Nor do I live in shame

I put my faith in Christ

Who will never change

 

 

When Jesus died

On that cursed tree

He gave me rest

He set me free

 

I don’t doubt His love

He loved me first

For His love

I hunger and I thirst

His Love Will Never, Ever End

His Love Will Never, Ever End

We are purchased by His love

Down the cross ran His blood

He purchased us from the curse

Sin and shame were His purse

On that cross He died for you

Oh, how His love runs true

He left the flock to seek just one

His hands stretched out, will you come

Out of darkness, you’ve been called

Into the light where you’re never stalled

In the light, darkness has to flee

Because He died on that tree

Guilt and shame will be no more

Once you pass thru Christ’ open door

Can you hear, hear Him knock

Don’t let time run out on your clock

Will you let Him come inside

Your heart is where He will reside

He will change you from the inside out

He will take away all your doubt

Forgiveness is itching to be your friend

His love will never, ever end

You’ll be an heir to His throne

Heaven will then become your home

Heaven’s My Home

Heaven’s My Home

 

My chains are heavy

They weigh me down

I can’t pick my feet up

From off the ground

 

I am in a prison

Behind steal bars

My heart is broken

All full of scars

 

This is a prison

In my mind

I found this out

For the very first time

 

During a time

When I was lost

When I was searching

I then found the cross

 

I heard the gospel

I heard it real clear

I heard Christ’ voice

He drew me in near

 

He changed my heart

From the inside out

He removed my fears

He cast my doubt

 

I now bring my burdens

To the foot of the cross

So no longer will I stumble

Or ever be lost

 

I now have security

I am an heir to the throne

I’ll never get lost

Because Heaven’s My Home

He Called Me By Name

He Called Me By Name

From out of the dark into the light

No longer in fear no longer my plight

I once lived with no hope cover in scars

Locked in a prison chained behind bars

The prison was mostly in my own mind

Out of control the gears started to grind

Billowing smoke from out of my own ears

Grinding and grinding, grinding all the gears

This prison I hosted started with lies

They came from the devil all in disguise

One little lie then two then three

Running amuck chasing after me

I ran, and I ran then I ran to the cross

I found my Savior there He knew I was lost

He extended His hand then called me by name

He taught me how to walk I was no longer lame

I started believing Truth not the old lies

I started believing Jesus not the devil in disguise

The more I believed Jesus the more I found solid ground

The devil can huff and puff, but he can’t blow my house down

I am standing on the promises of my loving God

Who’s love forgives sin and all of my flaws

I gave my life to Jesus, it’s Jesus I serve

Living for Jesus is how I won’t swerve

Freedom In Christ

Freedom In Christ

 

Born as a babe

a Savior is come

To a lost world

where sin they succumb

He came as a Savior

He came as a King

A message to the broken

is what He did bring

He raised the dead

the sick He healed

With a message for hearts

His Word is revealed

He called them out of darkness

in sin they were lost

He obeyed His Father

all the way to the cross

He was beaten and bullied

He was nailed to the tree

He completed Gods plan

by dying for you and me

Redemption was planned

since before the fall

To those that believe

their life has a call

In Jesus we believe

that He conquered the grave

Death couldn’t hold Him

in three days He was raised

Salvation He offers

forgiveness He gives

Freedom in Christ

is how we now life

Free From A snare

Free From A Snare

When I was young I had no hope

I often dazed I couldn’t cope

I found a new path but was led astray

Now in the dark I learned to play

As I played without a care

I soon found out I was in a snare

The snare was strung from tree to limb

With eyes half closed this looked so grim

Now in a mess with no way out

I soon began to moan and doubt

My thoughts and doubts were full of fear

I wished somehow someone was near

I heard a voice in the distant air

This was somehow an answered prayer

This voice reached down and grabbed my hand

Then led me to the promise land

At the gate I couldn’t walk in

Because my life was full of sin

This voice explained He was my God

How He loved me even tho I’m flawed

His love will cover all my sin

Then free me from the mess I’m in

He began to tell me how He died

To free me from all satans lies

He proceeded to tell about the cross

How He died to save who’s lost

His plan of salvation is my hope

Free from sin I now can cope

His salvation freed me from my sin

Now in my heart His Spirit lives within

I’m a child of God I am His heir

I am set free from my snare

Your Burdens In Exchange For His Grace

Know the Lord and He will know you

Obey His Word and know that He’s true

He’s faithful and kind for this I know

Walk in His ways and His Truth will show

Draw to the Lord and He will draw you in

He died on the cross to forgive all your sin

He conquered death and rose from the grave

He obeyed God so your soul He will save

Give Him your life and submit to His will

Your life will have joy that’s more than a thrill

He will give you His Spirit and guide your way

From His path you will never have to stray

Call out to God and He will give you His hand

He will free you from bondage so you can enter the land

He knows your struggles that hold you back

He’ll hold you close when under attack

When you want to hide behind a wall of fear

He’ll hold you in close and dry every tear

He will forever be your guiding light

By removing the scales to give you His sight

Now ask Him for strength to run this very race

Then bring Him your burdens in exchange for His grace
