You have heard the Word
It relates to you
All of God’s promises
Can come true

They will change our heartbeat
Change the way we walk
Cut out our cursing
Equip us to talk

I can be the person
I’ve always thought about
Everything I’ve hoped for
Destroying all my doubt

All those years of heartache
Consumed by God’s fire
Jesus is the answer
To make a life I desire

I will be His servant
Getting much work done
So many need the Savior
It’s work from Son to son

Never fearing failure
Never alone again
Jesus is the answer
He is my eternal friend

Clay Corvin 12/05/04

You have heard the Gospel
Standing by its fire
Warmed by others
Sheltered by their prayers

Only you can claim Christ
It is a personal responsibility
I may want it for you
Only you can act to claim Christ

Everyday is a journey
We can grow in Christ
Claim each one of His promises
Seek to serve with your life

Always people ignore us
So many seem to have it good
Yet life is lived each moment
You must claim your good

It’s not enough to be here
It’s not enough to care
Only you can claim Christ’s Gospel
To change your life and care

Care for those hurting
Care for those without
Care for the downhearted
Jesus equips us to care

The Lord counts our numbers
Not by what we own
He counts our hearts commitment
And lives that give all they own

Claim Jesus as your Savior
Claim Him right now
Your life will be His journey
Living through you today

All those things you’ve wanted
All that you knew you could be
Find fulfillment in Jesus
He lives His life in thee

Clay Corvin 12/05/04

Joseph valued family
He listened to the Lord
Odd the meet with angels
Faithful in the midst of discord

A simple man
A quiet faith
He stayed with Mary
Facing his fate

Bethlehem was calling
Joseph walked the road
Believing without understanding
The Lord would be in control

I don’t think Joseph realized
How his simple act of faith
Would reach across the ages
Showing us how to think

God is our master
We cannot figure Him out
The Lord calls us to service
To live without great doubts

Daily claim His promises
Live them in your life
The Lord is quick to help us
He will not leave us without

Family is important
We belong to God
The way we act to others
Displays our love for God

Clay Corvin 12/05/04

Insiders often say
I’ve got the power
It will go my way
Laughing in their heart

God spoke against the world
Evil now would no longer swirl
Around the hearts and minds of men
Goodness can reign within

Jesus came to Bethlehem
Cold and dark
Early night
The world ignored the Christ

Shepherds tending their flocks
Saw heavenly hosts proclaim
Peace on earth, good will to men
They came looking for Jesus

Quiet men of low repute
Smelly cloths and all
Entered into the cave
Telling why they came

Mary didn’t know their name
Stunned to silence
The angel had proclaimed
Her child would bless the world

Wise men came calling
Gifts fit for a king
Prophesying His life and death
Mary was stunned again

Mary and Joseph were little people
Without power or strength
Yet God proclaimed His power
The world would not be the same

People count with Jesus
People are empowered by God
Every path and journey
Jesus will be our guide
We don’t need great fortunes
Luck comes from God
His presence will keep us faithful
No matter the road we trod

Jesus is our answer
As we face the hurts of life
He answers all our heartache
In Jesus we have privilege and life
CC. 12/05/04

You can be pious
Even if you’re poor
Jesus values people
Not what they wore

Every thought and action
The Father is aware
His purpose in your birth
Was to build in value and worth

No one is worthless
Mean little lives come from man
God has a plan
You are in demand

Remember what He’s given
A chance for you to choose
Choose a life of victory
Not brokenness and abuse

All of us have problems
The rich and the poor
Jesus solves our problems
When the wolf is at the door

The world is always evil
It’s looking to destroy you
The Holy Spirit brings victory
When we live a life that is true

True to Jesus
True to His Word
True to people’s value
Brings joy in life to you

Reach out to people
See their value and worth
Life is a journey
All are just like you

Struggling to face tomorrow
Struggling to find their place
All of us need encouragement
Give the Lord Jesus first place
CC 12/5/04

God could choose any way
To send His only Son
He could have been a super star
Born in the rising sun

God chose the people
That populates the earth
Disenfranchised poor ones
Who live with a sense of disgust

Jesus came to help us
To show us God’s way
Never trust in power
It will always ruin the day

Poverty is oppressive
But Jesus clearly showed
Poverty is our choice
God will guide us home

Every day He will listen
Every need He will meet
His presence gives us value
Jesus is all we need

Life can be scary
Losers seldom win
Jesus changers losers
To peaceful, consistent wins

Never say you’re worthless
Never admit despair
Jesus died for your sake
There is VICTORY in the air

CC 12/5/04

I stand amazed in the presence
God loves me so
My life is just a jumble
The Lord knows where I should go

His hand is on my spirit
My focus helps me see
His work in many places
Of this life I seek to be

I want and need and look for
The Lord patiently cares
He knows the steps to victory
He will gently lead me there

Tomorrow always beckons
Fear and concern at large
His peace is my passport
For living life at large

Where ever He shall lead me
Any place I lay my head
Is the place of peace and victory
The Lord is there, I’m blessed

When ever I start to worry
I stop my racing mind
I ask my Lord and Savior
Please give me your time

He listens as I ramble
It’s this and that I’m sure
He knows my need of comfort
His hand is my cure

I listen to His protection
Reminding me He cares
Offering me His victory
Joy is mine to endure

I don’t know the outcome
But I know that it will be with Him
Humility is my watchword
Jesus Christ is here
Clay Corvin 11/14/04

Jesus came
He died for me
Raised by God
He can set me free

He was looking
When I was dead
Overcome by sin
Losing my head

My heart heard Him
My will was beat
I knelt my life
At Jesus’ feet

The Word of God
Was real in me
It gave me life
It set me free

To face each day
In every way
Defeating the world
Living free

My Savior lives
He guides my soul
I walk with Him
He lives in me

Every day I know Him more
Every day He hears me say
I love you Lord
Thank you for saving me

Clay Corvin 11/13/04
Acts 1-01

War rages
Around me
It’s in my head
It will not let me be

Moving and bobbing
Hiding from view
The war is here
Destruction is near

Jesus lives
To free my soul
Fighting evil
Power for my heart

Never far
Willing to give
His strength to me
So that I can live

Live and share
Live and grow
Knowing my Lord
Knowing my role

He calls me near
To build me up
Wisdom and grace
To stand the hurt

And then I live
Knowing He lives
Surrendering my heart
To freedom’s way

Every day is new
Each battle rages into view
But when it hits
Christ will deal with it

I can work and play and grow
Knowing my Christ
Will not let me go
His power is present-Christ lives
Clay Corvin 11/13/04…Acts 1-02

You are called to service
Not to sniff and whine
Jesus is the focus
He lives for all mankind

You are the witness
Power in your heart
Christ lives in you
His life is what we impart

Telling all that listen
Anyway we can share
Faithful loving servant
Jesus in me makes me care

The world is dark and lonely
We have the answer for life
Christ is King and always reigns
He’s come to forgive mankind’s sin

Making us His kinfolk
We are an agent for Christ
Quick to share our lifestyle
Willing to die right here

The day dawns new and precious
Life is going quick
Tell each one you talk with
Tomorrow may never come

I want to proclaim His goodness
Tell of His miracles I’ve seen
People are hurting and missing
Life in Christ is what they need

Clay Corvin 11/13/04
