Everyday is filled
By joy and dismay
Equal parts of life
Hold every breath we take

A wise man makes
The best of time
Too soon our journey ends
Life walks so quickly away

Away from goals
Away from friends
Guard each moment well
The end comes all too soon

Now to laugh
To sing with glee
This is the day
God is with me

I can face
That pain of days
Knowing Christ
Loves me always

Therefore I pray
For a heart of joy
And lift my arms in gratitude
Jesus is my good

Christ saved me
When He found me
All alone and without value
He gave me worth and life

His entrance in
Brought peace within
My war with God
Was at an end

And peace with self
Was an added relief
That image of me I would never be
No longer controlled my heart

He gave me strength
To rise from pity
My life was good
He gave me a goal

My goal in Christ
Was to take His advice
And live my life
Until that day

When life was changed
From here to there
And I would walk
The streets of gold

No longer cursed
My life was changed
The day I asked in Jesus name
Give me life forever

I pray for you
For your peace and worth
That life would bless
And you would not be cursed

That Christ would reign
In all you do
To lead your life
To guide you through

Thank you Lord that I can help
Remembering those who need you
Rejoicing as you lead them through
The confusing mess called life

Thank you for Your time with me
Pointing out what I should be
And showing me Your strength
To live and serve You

Thank you Lord for loving me
For sending friends that care
Enabling me to share
And live together with them

Every time I bend my knee
I learn to serve you more
And out of service find victory
My life is yours, use me

You love me
You paid my price
It set me free
I love you Lord

Every day I can walk Your way
Knowing Your hand
Will hold me close
And when I fail You will save

It’s all about Your love
It nourishes my life
Enabling me to grow
And live in Paradise

Every pain I feel
Every hurt in me
You will forgive
And heal me from myself

All the foolish things
Cannot ruin Your strength
All my life I live in You
Because Jesus lives

Help me
I know you will
Confidence fills my heart
God in Christ will not depart

See the Lord
In front of me
His wisdom lifts me heart

As I live
I follow Christ
His strength enables my heart

Walk with God
In gratitude
Never let go

Christ is king
Of all the earth
Whatever my life may hold

This is just a short divide
Between my life
And the other side

I can see
The golden streets
Christ walking with me

As I walk
This dreary road
I remember all those scenes

The world is seeking
My demise
Christ is saving me

And now once more
See the Lord
He lives inside of me

Talk with God
Tell Him all
Search for truth
Find your call

Hear His heart
In love with you
His touch is near
He will stand with you

The world condemns
It says you’ll lose
Christ is king
Victory is His thing

Bend your knee
Stop your work
Read His Word
Rebuild your heart

His will, will guide
And strengthen you
Joy will blend
With all you do

Quickly return
When sin has had its say
Jesus is near
He will change your way

He knows you are weak
He sees you before you speak
But the choice is the key
A relationship is the result

That’s what I want
To be with Christ
Spend time with Him
Get good advice.

Everything I say and do
Can be used
To help you
Or if I’m foolish break your heart

I am called to guard my mouth
Listen first and then speak out
Remembering God loves you
He uses me to care for you

All the things
I choose to do
Are little things
Unless they hurt you

My actions cause
You to think
About the Lord
Or turn and think

Thinking is an easy task
But actions prejudice
The way you think
And then it destroys God’s link

I am called to care for you
You and I are here to do
A life of good
That will benefit you

Now each day
I have a charge
Live life wisely
Because I represent God

God cares for me
Giving me a sense of worth
Putting confidence in me
And kindness towards you

When we meet
I choose to give of myself
To speak of life
And what it can be

Knowing of the world’s attacks
Each one of us has needs
To be, to do, to feel worthwhile
I can give respect to you

If I can find a way
I will share myself with you
Giving you a word
Of worth and respect and joy

Remembering Christ came for you
He died because of his love for you
Your life is great and has value
God loves you

For some it’s easy
To find the good
For others I must look
And find it where I can

Then the day will come my way
You will speak and say
A word of encouragement to me
What a joy to share my life

Knowing that God’s love is true
He spoke of you
And we have shared His care
Encouragement is part of you
