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

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

Brokenness

Brokenness

 

As I stare at this broken mirror

The brokenness that stares back is clearer

It’s brokenness that I need to know

Tells me what I want to show

Brokenness is not for the weak in heart

Nor is it for the one who’s smart

Brokenness has a many of scars

They come from battles and wars

Brokenness can tell a story

Some details can even get gory

Brokenness has character

Find out as the pot gets a stir

Most brokenness gets pushed around

It even gets dropped to the ground

Look up look down look all around

Can you see brokenness on this frown

Brokenness has a side you’ll want to know

This is a side that can steal the show

Here’s a side I want you to see

It has strength and shows bravery

Oh yes, strength is a must

To last any time there has to be trust

Brokenness didn’t happen just like that

It was initiated by a cause that’s a fact

Brokenness doesn’t mean I’m weak

No, there’s not even a mean streak

Brokenness says; Hey I am strong

Look don’t get me wrong

I ain’t no push over that’s for sure

Brokenness has to have a cure

His Name is Jesus

Brokenness is not how He sees us

He saw my brokenness and touched my heart

He’s healing my brokenness, now that’s a start

Way back when I said strength is a must

It’s my Jesus who I trust

It’s because Jesus that I lasted this long

To carry brokenness, to say I’m strong

It’s because of Jesus I stood the test

Then made it thru such a mess

In all my weakness, He is my strength

As long as I don’t keep him at arms length

Your Redemption Plan

Your Redemption Plan

 

Your Love walked the earth as man

To share the message of Your redemption plan

 

You put Your Love upon the cross

Your intention is to save who’s lost

 

Your Love is who defeated the grave

Because Your Love I know I’m saved

 

He rose to life after three days

The penalty for sin has been paid

 

You went to hell to free the slaves

From the prison of their graves

 

Inside our heart is where You live

Service to You is what we give

 

Your Word is what transforms my heart

It calms my storm and is where newness starts

 

Now I’m free to live for you

To trust Your Word through and through

 

Your Spirit is now my guide

From Your Truth I can no longer hide

 

I’m thankful for Your Redemption plan

For Your Love that died for man

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

I’ll stand and sing

I’ll stand and praise

On account

At the Cross

Thankful to Jesus

He found me when I was lost

Broken Pieces

Broken pieces, don’t seem to have worth

Formed from clay, drawn from the earth

Broken and scattered, they got threw away

This sounds like me, oh come what may

 

Broken pieces, represent this old life

For most of it, I was caught up in strife

I know one thing, I was formed by my God

But lost and broken, I was caught up in my flaws

 

Broken and lost, I was without hope

Felt unloved, I had no way to cope

Beaten and bruised was my only friends

There were times I thought my life might end

 

I was on a path, I could only see one way

It wasn’t for righteousness, that I did stray

It was very dark, the darkest I’d ever seen

The walls were black, tainted with mean

 

I was so broken, lost without hope

Sliding down, down a slippery slope

One day I saw a light, it caught my eye

Love was displayed, then I breathed with a sigh

 

I heard sound, it was a soft voice

He calmed the chatter, that was all noise

He held out His hand, he gave me a lift

It’s called grace, it’s His free gift

 

Salvation, is His master plan

He designed it, to redeem man

He included me, wow, I was in awe

I soon discovered, I was not stuck in flaws

 

I hear His voice, it’s now coming in clear

Oh, how I love, how He drew me in near

Broken Pieces, they all matter to God

Come everyone, no matter your flaws

Your Grace Was All I Ever Needed

When I was lost and broken hearted

You spoke life into me and it started

You gave me a life that’s brand new

Where I had to depend on You

I came to You with all I had

To me that seemed all so sad

I’m learning to trust Your voice

Where in my head, its full of noise

Then You filled me full of grace

Then strength to run this race

Grace was all I ever needed

That is how You interceded

It was love at first sight

You knew me and my plight

Now I have forgiveness for all my sins

Even the mess I was currently in

You gave me courage to stand strong

In a world where things are so wrong

Now I have Your Spirit that lives inside

I trust Him as my guide

It is Your love that carries me through

In service that looks like You

When I Put My Faith In Jesus

Who’s my strength, who’s my power

Who’s my help in every hour

I can lean on Him when times are rough

He convicts my heart when I’m acting tough

He’s the joy in my heart when I’m down and out

He picks me up when I frown and pout

When my world seems to be crashing down

He extends His hand when I’m on the ground

He is my fortress, He is my rock

He never times out off the clock

Christ’ always there when I’m a mess

Or when someone in the world causes stress

He’s my pick me up when I’m all depressed

He’s the stable in my camp when I regress

When I am lost and know not what to do

He comes along beside you know who

When I’m stuck in pride and it’s all about me

He gently prunes dead limbs off my tree

It’s fruit that He wants me to bear

Even when I’m pulling out my hair

I must remember where it all began

Back in the garden God had a plan

Adam ate the fruit and believed the lie

That he’d be like God and never have to die

God had a plan to redeem all sin

Even every mess we get stuck in

He sent His Son to hang on the tree

To provide salvation to all who believe

This is what God does all for me

When He decided to hang on that tree

If you’re lost and know not what to do

Put your faith in Jesus, He’ll save you too

Seasons Come Seasons Go

Seasons come, Seasons go

The battle rages for your soul

It’s your faith that stands the test

Lean to God, He’ll give you rest

The devil tells you only lies

As your soul, to take, he tries

A believer’s soul he cannot take

In your boots, he wants you to shake

To live in fear is his aim

To believe the lie is his game

But thankful for a loving God

Who loves you even tho you’re flawed

It was on the tree He paid the price

It was His life He sacrificed

He cleansed you when you’re dead in sin

Then sent His Spirit to live within

His Spirit is now your guide

He forgives your sin deep and wide

Thankful to a loving God

That died to free you from your flaws
