By The Power Of Jesus

 

Every chain has been broken

By the power of Jesus

I hear the chains a fallin

By His power He frees us

 

When I was in prison

Chained to these walls

The prison of my mind

Where I fall and I fall

 

Every chain has been broken

By the power of Jesus

I hear the chains a fallin

It’s by His power He frees us

 

I was stuck in this prison

Where there was no getting out

I would hear the voices in my head

Where they would do nothing but shout

 

Every chain has been broken

By the power of Jesus

I see the chains a fallin

By His power He frees us

 

I heard a new voice

Whispering in my ear

Come to Me My child

Let Me draw you in near

 

I will open up your heart

Then come and live inside

You’ll want to live with me

You’ll never ever have to hide

 

Every chain has been broken

By the power of Jesus

I see the chains a fallin

It’s by His Power He frees us

Oh Lord, I Come To You Today

Oh Lord, I Come To You Today

 

Oh Lord I come to You today

On my knees I humbly pray

It’s my sin that wants to act out today

Oh Lord, help me find another way

Lead down the narrow path that’s straight

I want to enter into Your Pearly gates

From my sin You died to set me free

I draw close to You so the devil has to flee

You came and conquered death

That gave me my first new breath

Oh Lord, as I struggle now

Help me put my feet to the plow

I was in chains and you set me free

Now in Your presence I want to be

I want to walk with You in the cool of night

Oh Lord, forever show Your Light

As an example You washed my feet

So I can share Your hope down on the street

The gospel helped me respond in such a way

That I never want to stumble and stray

Oh Lord, be my guiding light

Help me to stand firm in this fight

As I bring my burdens to the cross

Thank God, I’ll never again be lost

You gave Christ to be my solid rock

I’ll forever be in Your flock

Thru The Blood Of Jesus

Thru the Blood of Jesus

 

It’s thru the power in the blood of Jesus

By the cross is how He see’s us

The world is who He loves

Even the rich who hang out in clubs

 

It’s was me who had ears to hear

In my heart the message was so clear

Now I know that freedom is real

Come on satan, my soul you can’t steal

 

The image of christ is who I want to be

So the Light of Christ is who you’ll see

If you’re broken and lost

Know that, for you, Christ died on that cross

 

There’s freedom to be had by breaking every chain

He’ll wipe all your tears, then clean all your stains

So if you’re down and out, living on the street

Drop to your knees, Jesus is who you will meet

 

Now He cleaned you up, so much that you will glow

Stay in Gods Word, it’s how you will grow

HE washed their feet, as an example to serve

He gave you His Word, so in it you won’t swerve

 

On the cross Christ took our sin

Now I can say Christ is my friend

So if you’re living against God’s law

Please answer when Christ calls

 

So when you reach up and grab God’s hand

Then you realize that it was God’s plan

It’s God’s love that you’re called to give

Stand firm, so it’s the Gospel you will live.

In Him I Stand Awed

I rely on my faith, to take off my mask

Where is your faith now, the devil would ask

I’m encouraged to stand firm, during this evil time

This mountain won’t move, I know i must climb

I have such little faith,I know I must trust God

He fills me with power, in Him I stand awed

As I live out my life, the struggles will come

I reach up for God’s hand, He knows the outcome

I struggle and struggle, i put on my mask

I started believing the lies, then fear set in to bask

Fear had it’s help, from the father of lies

My Lord opened His arms, as I sat and just cried

My Lord left His flock, to come search me out

He calmed all my fear, He settled my doubt

I was broken and shattered, I knew I was lost

He carried my burdens, all the way to the cross

So I dropped to my knees, where I weeped as I prayed

God answered my prayers, where my penalty’s been paid

He covered my sin, now I won’t be afraid

Forgiveness is a blessing, it’s sweet as pie

Jesus came to my to my aid, now I can stop believe the lie

He came as a ransom, He died on the Tree

He now lives in my heart, now I am set free

The struggle is real, and you that you’re lost

Come to the Savior, where He died on the Cross

Jesus Take THE Wheel

Jesus Take The Wheel

 

This is my life and the struggle is real

It seems as tho I’ve lost my zeal

I battle and battle as tho there’s no end

I feel as tho, I’ve lost my dear friend

 

I’m in a place where I have to trust God

But the devil keeps on bringing up my flaws

I know I’m broken, but I can’t see straight

Away from me satan, you can’t tell me my fate

 

I’m stuck in a hospital for  very long time

It seems like a jail, where I committed a crime

I know that’s not real, it’s all in my head

I feel as tho, I want to stay in my bed

 

This is a spiritual battle, where I’m to stand firm

The devil pushes and pushes, where he wants me to squirm

I put on my Armor, as God commands me to do

The Shield of Faith, I put on, then I buckle my Shoes

 

I hold fast to God’s Word, where His promises are true

I put my faith in my Lord, so I’ll no longer feel blue

I’m now in a rehab, where I’m trying to heal

I hand over the reins, where God takes the wheel

 

I wait and I wait, when I want to go home

I’m asked to stay, then I feel I’m alone

Opposition keeps coming, from the master of lies

I run and I run, seeking Jesus, I try

 

I pray and I pray, but when I think there’s no use

God speaks to my heart, then I know I won’ loose

This is a spiritual war, where I’m told to stand firm

I dig into the Word, where I learn and I learn

 

I put in a call, to one of my dear friends

He encourages with Truth, so my time will not end

He asked me one thing, who do I trust

I put my faith in my Lord, where He is not unjust

 

I am reminded again, that Christ died on that Tree

He saved my pour soul, now I am set Free

He broke all my chains, so I don’t get lost in my mind

He opened my eyes, so I am no longer blind

 

Thru God’s eyes I can see, the evil world that’s at hand

Christ came to redeem, now that was Gods plan

So if you are lost, or don’t know what to do

Surrender to God, He wants to save you

Jesus Lives

Jesus Lives

 

He walked the earth 3 ½ years

With message to repent

Please open your ears

 

It was that cross

That cross that He died

He gave His message with love

For even those who had pride

 

He loved the world

Even tho they were lost

He hung on the tree

Even tho He counted the cost

 

He shared the gospel of love

In order to be saved

He broke all the chains

For all those in slaved

 

If you are lost

Or loaded with pride

Open your heart

Let Jesus inside

 

Now you know that He lives

He lives inside your heart

He will clean you up

To give you a new start

 

Now that you’ve tasted

The goodness of God

You can never go back

To a life that is flawed

 

 

The new life that you live

Is the message to serve

Accept our Lord’s gift

The one you’ll never deserve

 

Now that you’ve read this poem

I hope you know this

For those who believe

Jesus Lives

On This Christmas Day

On This Christmas Day

It’s early in the morning

On Christmas Day

He came as a babe

To show us the way

He was born of a virgin

In the line of a king

Salvation He brought

Forever praises we’ll sing

He came with a message

His Word we must heed

Repentance is the answer

Then we must follow His lead

He’s our Savior and Guide

He will show us the way

Will you put faith in our Jesus

On this Christmas Day

He’ll lead you and love you

His wrath you’ll escape

In the image of Jesus

Your life He will shape

He hung on the cross

Then rose on day three

His blood ran down

That old rugged tree

If you are broken and lost

You can’t find your way

Put your faith in Jesus

On This Christmas Day

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

At the Cross

At the Cross

 

God I s Sovereign

God is Just

In His Word

I must trust

 

Thru His Word

I walk His ways

In His Righteousness

I will stay

 

By His Blood

I’ve been set free

All because

He died on that tree

 

It’s my mission

To testify

About His Grace

How He changed my life

 

I testify

To His freedom song

In His Presence

Is where my heart belongs

 

I’ll stand and sing

I’ll stand and praise

On account

My sin’s debt been paid

 

Forgiveness was offered

At the Cross

Thankful to Jesus

He found me when I was lost
