DON’T MISJUDGE YOUR LIFE

The Lord is thorough, true, constant, stabile, firm
He is faithful
It is His nature
He is faithful to you-He died for you
His faithfulness is your success
He will be your constant companion
Jesus has His eyes on you

He will guide you from where you are
Giving you life and a plan for where to go
His Word is living and giving
Through it He will lead you by your hand
Creating peace and joy as a gift
You life will be renewed and renewed
His hand will guide you

And He calls you to discipline
So that you can survive
In order to claim His life in you
His power and strength shining through
No longer are you at the mercy of the world
Jesus is alive-He is walking with you
Discipline will equip you to be you

Out of His faithfulness
He will build community by you
Teaching you of your worth-Jesus loves you
Letting you experience the joy of Christ in you
As you face each day with its problems renewed
This journey of life will bless you
Christ is Lord and Jesus will use you

BY HIS BLOOD

It’s His blood that cleanses me
By His sweet grace
He blesses me
He is thinking of me now

He gave His life
Thru evil’s blow
It sought to stop
The love we know

A blow it sought
To wreck God’s plan
His love and joy
Offered to man

What a surprise
At Calvary
The blood He shed
Was shed for me

It bought my peace
He paid my price
That gory tree
On Calvary

He saved me on that dark day
His love dispersed for all to see
Reconciliation and peace spread around
Evil’s world turned upside down

Now I live alive and free
By His shed blood on Calvary
Joy and peace provided free
Jesus blood was shed for me

I LOVED YOU FROM ETERNITY

I loved you from eternity
I created the world for you
I gave you a stage to act on
A play written just for you

I sent you 7,000 promises
Written in my Book to you
Protected throughout the ages
Delivered for you to use

Yet you cry and murmur
Oh my poor life
Waddling away with evil
Each day filled with strife

Adultery is your specialty
Your life is overfilled
Why would one so fragile
Spurn the God who gives?

Forgiveness is available
Ask and you shall have
It requires a turn from evil
Obedience required to learn

Ask and I will bless you
Seek and you will find
Trust and obey and walk my way
Your new life is begun

Change is a given
Praise is a part
The world is a place of darkness
Salvation is from God’s heart

LIFE IN CHRIST

The Gospel message: proclaiming Christ
Jesus is the only way
Declared by God
Life begins His way

All of us have our own ways
This and that, and how we say
But God, in His infinite wisdom
This is MY way and you walk in it

God speaks, if I listen I will hear
His Word to me is change
Set aside my ego, stop sinning
Trust Him and obey

Called of God and filled with Christ
Our life becomes a beacon
Calling all to hear His voice
Jesus is the way

Then trouble comes
All of us will suffer
Life is hard and then you die
The Holy Spirit quickens our heart to follow Jesus Christ

Suffering is no longer a deterrent-I know it will be there
But suffering pulls me close to Christ
I hear His words and comfort
Reminding me to walk His way

Service, service, service, service
All around so many needs
Take our eyes off troubles Jesus
Help us to follow thee!

DEAD IN SIN

Dead in sin
Alive in Christ
A choice I gladly made
Jesus brought His grace to me
Christ died on Calvary

He lives today
Alive in me
Changing my miserable life
No longer fear or desperate ways
His love recreated me

My life is His
I’m lifted up
To stand and deal with my sin
In Christ I’m strong and equipped to change
Sin no longer controls me

Seated at God’s right hand
Jesus offers me a seat
His victory won
Each day a journey for me
Jesus redeemed my life

Clay Corvin

SUPPLY

I have all I need in Christ
I am equipped and able
Ready to serve, and I serve
Prepared to give my life

Encouragement is a Godly tool
Pulling the hurting through
To where the light is new
Helping them see

It makes a difference
In what they can do
Enables them to grow
To see life they can know

Encouragement grows me
Changing the way I see
The strength of God’s design
And that others count with Christ

Claiming grace
Controls me
Undergirds and holds me
Putting my faith to work

Pulling me to be
All that Christ calls me
Restoring His control
Jesus is my goal

I have all I need
Victory is my place
Standing firm in Christ
Jesus is my life

Clay Corvin

MORE THAN ENOUGH

The world cannot control
The gift Jesus gives
Equipping me to go
To care for those I know

I am not deterred
By ifs or shoulds or could
Serving as I go
Do what I know

Sitting in victory
Surrendered in the Lord
Equipped to serve
Lack cannot destroy

I have what I need
He is alive in me
Guardian of my soul
Jesus works thru me

Visions come and go
Ministry may seem slow
Eternity has no time
Life is a gift to grow

Courageous soul
Do what you know
Caring as you go
Ministry depends on you

Jesus is the key
Learn at His knee
People count with Christ
Service is my life

ARRIVING

I begin my work today, living, laughing, time to play
Knowing that my faith is sure, Jesus has a hold on me
Looking toward the future goal
Standing fast, living bold

I have this in my, something I can’t see
Moving me ahead, even with my dread
Straining to be His child
Letting go amidst life’s woe

Being where I am, holding out my hand
Helping others grab a hold, Jesus uses me
His glory beaming free, by what I do
It is His place to change, my place to be

Thinking oft what might have been
Trouble calls, I think again
Jesus heals my heart
Calling me to His reality, I am His

This is what I do
Jesus working thru
Pulling me to grow
I am His servant, this I know

Here I am today
Useable Jesus way
His heart rules my hands
Obedient to His command

Then upon that day
I’ll already be near
My journey at His feet
In that instant His face I’ll see
Clay Corvin 6/21/08

ZERO

I always thought
I was perfect
No one agreed
Creating strife for me

I tried to grow
Did all I know
Inside of me
Fear cried “not free”

Jesus saved me
Setting me free
For service and
Friendship with Him

My surrender
Taught me
What I needed
Christ gave me

Now I see
Perfection in me
It’s name is Christ
His life leads me

Clay Corvin 1/5/05

INSIDE/OUT

New heart
New life
Alive in Christ
Anointed to serve God

Changed from me
Serving in change
Trusting Christ
For life today

What I say
What I do
Completes the life
I live for you

Useful now
The Father calls
My hands are His
I give my all

Troubles come
Stretch my soul
Bond servant life
In Jesus Christ
