Every day I want to go
Find the joy
In my heart I know

But all around
The world says no
I’m not the one
I cannot go

I know I can
I try my best
I fail and fail
I can’t meet the test

Then Jesus came
He saved my soul
He gave me strength
He made me whole

All around are wandering souls
They hurt and fail
Nobody knows the pain in them
Jesus healed my pain

Everyday in a thousand ways
The world destroys
It never saves
But Jesus saved my life

Christ seeks my good
He leads me where I should
And in the walk I live
Jesus guides each step

Destruction is the world’s way
Resurrection is Christ’s way
Saving me for service
Freeing me from death

All are lost
In need of help
Without a chance
To save themselves

Many roads
Man seeks to walk
All the roads
Lead to destruction

Jesus came
For each and all
To give that chance
To have it all

No longer lost
No longer slaves
Sin destroyed
They can change their ways

The way of life
Is shown in Christ
A way that brings
An end to strife

We know the Lord
And He knows us
His strength will guide
Through life’s storms

Then one day
We will die
Christ’s life in us
Will give us life

In my heart is hope
Tomorrow will be good
A day controlled by Thee
My refuge in the storm
Speaks Your word of hope for me

Deliver me from foolish acts
My rock of strength
Help me stand in failure
Praising You with heart and hands

I can endure
Because You live
I am free
Because You give

Love is the answer
I can live in You
Even in my failure
Your love will see me through

Straight the way of power
Obedience is the key
Wonderful Lord and Savior
Life is a blessing to me

Healing from Your presence
Your word leads in life
I am your servant
Willing to live for Thee

Promises to remember
A life I’m called to serve
Hope from Your presence
Jesus equips me to live

Jesus loves people
You and I belong
His testimony teaches
His love is lasting and strong

All of those encountered
Need to be told
What a difference with Jesus
He equips us to be strong

Strong when facing trouble
Never without His help
Even when we stumble
Jesus will keep us well

Failure cannot hold us
The future isn’t bleak
Economics doesn’t rule us
As we sit at Jesus feet

He gives us wisdom
Guidance through life’s maze
Carrying us on our journey
As we live the plans God made

We are not a mistake
The world is not our lord
Jesus gives us a future
Our life is His reward

One day we will answer
An ownership request
Who do you belong to?
Jesus is the answer
An answer we will never regret

God will deliver me
And see me through
Whatever I feel
Christ is real
He is my shield

My Lord bestows His glory
On my ordinary life
Thinking of my actions
Feeling all my pain
Even when things are a drain

Jesus sustains me
His energy revives my soul
Forever and forever
He and I will know
How much He means to me

Christ is my refuge
In disappointing times
The world dumps its garbage
On unsuspecting minds
The Lord heals me

The Father knows my journey
My life is meant for good
His plan unfolds with wisdom
His strength takes hold
I can trust the Lord

Down those streets that scream with pain
They reek with heartache, fear and shame
Many names line the view
A street has many hues

Tree lined mirages of peace and calm
Shield the eyes from Satan’s mob
Swirling in the air we breathe
Seeking any he can deceive

Pulling away the façade of joy
We see short lives of desperate ploy
Never having what they need
All their life they are deceived

Joy rules in Satan’s roost
Seeking whom he might devour
Relishing the foolish plight
Of educated, dead fools

They believe only what they see
And in their hearts throb with disease
Sin is a blinding, evil chain
That holds them back from any gain

At 65 they feel the pain
Of wasted lives and helpless drain
Around the world in billions of ways
This sordid way deals in dismay

Jesus said I’ve come to save
All from a life of wasted days
Giving each a relationship
The Lord loves you

Talk to Jesus
Tell Him what you need
Let Him heal your heartache
And deal with your greed

Talk to Jesus
You need His help
Hidden things are hurting
They seek to disgrace

Talk to Jesus
Prepare you day
Open up your heart
Have your say

Talk to Jesus
Pain runs so deep
So many memories
Lead you to defeat

Talk to Jesus
Tomorrow comes too soon
He will give you wisdom
Christ will take you through

Talk to Jesus
Plead for the lost
He’s seen you through your crisis
Pray for the lost

Talk to Jesus
Remember He is first
If we don’t walk with Jesus
All will be lost

Do it now
Don’t recant
It’s not about you
Sin sidetracks
Obedience leads through

Through all our blindness
Through our pain
Obedience is the answer
To grow in Jesus name

Order is important
Chaos breaks a heart
The Lord is the healer
His law is the chart

Never walk in wildness
You can’t see the demons there
Jesus holds us precious
No devastation there

Don’t forget forgiveness
Order guides our life
Giving time for Jesus
To equip us to face strife

Don’t stop to hustle
Don’t forget your place
Jesus is man’s answer
To defeat evil’s pace

God is true and faithful
Neither right nor left
Giving grace aplenty
To each and you best

Loving His creation
Coming for to see
His love is focused
As He marched to Calvary

Suffered for the sinner
No saints around
Paid for our sinning
He’s brought salvation around

Provided for sinners
Given for free
Asked for by the broken
Healing from God’s hand

He is love unblemished
Ethereal in its shape
Able to save any sinner
The Lord has come to man

No one has to suffer
Christ lives within
His hand guides our pathway
As we live among man

No more fears and worries
No more losses to bear
Jesus is abundance
He shows How the Father cares

I can walk in victory
Not because of me
But because of Jesus
He bought and paid for me

Heart of stone
I weighed a ton
The wisdom heard
Was easily undone
I couldn’t feel the need
I only sought to please
And yet I didn’t know
A heart of flesh was my goal

I came to Him on bended knee
Avenues exhausted
Now my plea
Help me Lord to find myself
This world is a rock
And I am full of stone
I need to know the way
To peace and relief

He took my hand
Forgave my sin
Replaced my heart
I could be His friend
Now I’m flesh
With eyes that see
The world of God
He’s made peace with me

Relief and joy
Wisdom and peace
Each day I walk
I live in grace
Jesus is so good to me
In Christ I am free
The world is a trip
Heaven is my home
