JESUS SAVES

You are most important
Jesus loves you
You cannot change others
Your choice decides your life

Choices change our pathways
Choices can lift us up
Choosing Jesus as your Savior
Is a choice that destroys your hurt

This change is eternal
You have a new heart
Saved from man’s blindness
Pulled out of the world’s muck

Everyday with Jesus
Victory stalks your trail
Walking out before you
Keeping you from hell

You feel the same inside
But everything is new
The walk you walk is a new life
Jesus has saved you

Every time you struggle
Christ will be right there
You will not be useless
The Lord has a plan for you

Jesus saves completely
He lives in your heart
The life we lead for Jesus
Is a brand new start

YANKEE TOWN

I have a friend in Yankee town
That seeks to live
And be God’s hand
Giving all she has

Willing to be the one
That sacrifices her life
To build the lives of those
You’ve entrusted to her

She brings a joy
With every step
Delightful ways
Willing help

Building up her man
She is his helping hand
The two live as one
Serving Christ each day

They give more than they have
Confident the Lord will care
To help them as they serve
Living to be His word

Facing outrageous odds
They commit to their God
To share with all
So others may not fall

Joy, faith and peace
Like a necklace grace their life
Bending a calloused knee
Always seeking His advice

MORNING LIGHT

Morning light
Across the bay
Throwing off
The dark of night

Shining for the new found day
With the light
The Father’s sway
Evidence of joy

I’m the one
That seeks His way
He is King
Of night and day

But in the night
I often fail
Weak and frail
Assailed by the night

Fear and doubt
Will wander in
Suggesting things
Like you can’t win

Morning light
Across the bay
Throwing off
The dark of night

Courage comes
Upon the light
The Father’s strength
Lifts my heart

Now I start
The journey home
Today’s the day
It is all my own

Everyday is a gift
No more promised
No more missed
This is when I grow

Morning light
Across the bay
Throwing off
The dark of night

My life has its say
By the way
I live today
With Jesus in control

Building me to think
Helping me not shrink
Away from the flow
The world must know

The Lord is King
He gives for free
The grace we need
Salvation complete

I want do His work
Let Him decide my way
My life is in His hand
No more fear

The night will come
And I am here
The Father never leaves
His strength to face the dark

Morning light
Across the bay
Throwing off
The dark of night

KNOW

I hunger Lord to know You
I want to be able to walk
The paths of righteousness
Your prophets walked with You

To see the angels presence
Knowing what You say
Expecting significant miracles
Along my path each day

I find You in surrender
At times when I hurt
Will you let me be used?
Keep me from being a jerk

I don’t want to abuse
The knowledge from Your Word
Speak a strong expression
So that I’ll not miss Your work

Slowing down
I bend my heart
And open both my ears
Hear me Lord as I sit here

Let me see Your presence
Help me do Your work
All I have and all I want
To know You and be Your friend

I want you more than success
The things I have are Yours
Guide me to deeper wisdom
So that fear will flee

I want you more than miracles
I will gladly hold Your hand
As You lead me onward
Towards eternity’s land

ETERNITY IS RIGHT NOW

If I will let Him have me
Christ will use me up
Giving life intensity
That will touch my soul
Beyond my ability to control
And I will see His work
In a way that I cannot explain
His life is to fill me with Him
So that I can be at work
Sharing eternity’s worth
A way to live and be free
Adding all joy and peace
To a life that is full
With people and need
Knowing that Christ
Will send what I need
And yet not able to say
In ways that communicate clear
All that I hold dear
Rest in His hand
Always near

And then a new day begins
What I was no longer is
Christ is at work in me
Moving me to eternity
Reminding me
To bring all I can
They are important to Him
I am His hands and feet
Giving up my demands
Letting Him free my hands
I walk where He says
Speaking His thoughts
Giving to those He calls
God is able
You are in need of Him

No longer counting by sight
The things the world says are might
Christ in me is treasure
His truth is joy
His hand is strength
I am His to use
Eternity is right now

INWARD I GO

Inward I go
To seek and grow
Letting God know
I love Him so
Living with ease
His hand I will please
Giving His place
My focus, His grace
All I have
Has come from Christ
I rejoice
When bitterness laughs
What I have
I freely give
To help each one
I live here with
The world is blind
I must be its eyes
The world is dead
I can offer it life
Simply stated
Christ in me
I can give
To all I see
I’m not the one
The life is in Him
His life in me
Has set me free
And all around
The hurting is great
The slavery they feel
Christ can relate
The victory was won
On Calvary’s tree
His victory is available
To set you free
Claim yours today
Live in victory’s way
Seeking to know
His strength
And in your search
Like me you will find
Life in Christ
Is important for all

ANGOLA

Eighteen thousand acres
Holding painful lives
More than five thousand
Society has said good bye

Some are wrongly imprisoned
Others painfully live
The world for a moment
Took their life from them

Maybe I’m the reason
Maybe it’s their fate
I know that Jesus loves them
I will share their fate

The world wants to forget them
Jesus said go to me
Go and remind them
In Jesus they are free

Each of them has issues
Everyone can have Christ
The truth of the Gospel
Brings life instead of hate

Now I’m praying
That I can do my part
To share the life of Jesus
And help destroy the dark

ONE MORE DAY

Heartache and suspense
Am I getting through?
Which way do you
Want me to go

How can I know?
Am I in your will?
Selfish pride proclaims
I’m more than a slave

I put my thoughts in line
Reaching out to find
The future way to walk
Today is not the time

That is so frustrating
Because my will is strong
It seems I want to meet
Lord could you be wrong?

Now I’m alive
Now I’m your child
Your will is moving me
I am called to rely

Okay, I’ll search my heart
What would I like to do?
Does it honor you?
That door I’ll walk through

Then the moment comes
I will do as you say
Your hand holds my heart
My life is yours today

Your will is always good
Even when I’m suffering pain
I love you Lord my King
Praise your holy name

JESUS IS MY LIFE

I hear that you’re in pain
Have I told you Jesus name?
He came and spoke to me
He offered me eternity

I looked at all I had
Little I could use
In my heart was pain
My life was just abuse

I said Lord save me
Help me change my life
I want to be of worth
With joy and wisdom first

Every day is new
The Lord knows what I need
I remind Him though
So I can grow and know

Know the King of Kings
Know the way to go
Know His love for me
Jesus is my way to go

He will give me strength
To face the wrongs I’ve done
Giving me release
To be the Father’s son

I will grow today
I will bend my knee
Absolute surrender
Keeps me at Calvary

Jesus paid it all
I will give my life
To stop my pain and strife
Jesus is my life

YOU WILL TELL

I’ve never felt this way before
My world is new
My heart is true
The Lord has saved my life

Now I have a friend
He knows my outs and ins
His love is absolute
My life is based on truth

I am telling all
How Christ changed my fall
No longer alone
The Lord is always on

I belong to Him
All will hear me say
By all the things I do
Have you heard-Jesus is the way

My life is made
I have strength to be
The person I once saw
A life that is full of worth

Walking with Jesus
Fills me with joy
Puts a song in me
I will tell all how to be free
