JESUS USES WEAK PEOPLE

Peter walked with Jesus
Saw Him raise the dead
Felt His presence
Every time he bowed his head

Peter walked on the water
Saw the blind see
Shook hands with the cripple
All people set free

And yet he still denied Him
Fear was his cloak
Every thing Christ taught Him
Deserted Peter in one stroke

Christ still used
To proclaim His mystery
God has come to His people
Christ sets men free

Through many trials and failures
Peter never quit
The Lord was His answer
Freedom really fit

Jesus uses weak people
They must know their pain
Seeking for their freedom
They live in Jesus name

Weak people know their limits
Running from sin
Willing to serve the Father
Letting Christ control them

HE IS COMING BACK

God is good
He cares for you
He loves each one
He is always true

Perfect in all His ways
He came for us
To save our days
Giving each eternal life
God is true
He cares for you

Jesus lived for us to know
The Lord is love
He gives and gives
Making life valuable and good
Adding eternity to each one
That claims His gift of love

Jesus lived and died for us
Willing sacrificing because of love
Now we see the choice we have
Jesus Christ is eternal life
Because God cares for you

Then one day very soon
Christ will come for you
No more earth, no more day
Christ will come and take us away
His coming is dire
Judgment and truth
God is true
He cares for you

IN CONTROL

Christ died for me upon a cross
In control
His life the cost
To give me a chance of freedom from sin

A choice to make
A chance to take
Can I change?
How my life’s been

Everyday I struggled
Everyday I planned
Everyday sin beat me
I was at the end of my stand

Then Jesus came looking
He told me it was sin
My sin was the slavery
That beat me again and again

Come to me He told me
Recognize your sin
I will give you freedom
You will not lose to sin

I asked Christ into my life
Each day I ask His advice
He guides my life
Christ is in control
He knows what I need

SAVED FROM DESTRUCTION

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

HE DIED FOR YOU

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

LIVING

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

ANSWER

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

THOUGHTS ON A JOURNEY

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

STREETS

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

PRAY

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
