Restored

His mercy picks us up when we fall on our side

He puts us on His wings like an eagle and takes us on his ride

He leads us through life according to His holy plan

As you glorify Him always having a hold of his hand

Have patience, your victory will soon arrive

God is always with you, you will survive

It could be in a year or it could be tomorrow

God is at work arranging an end to your sorrow

So, keep your faith strong and remember hope is a must

God is in charge and in His timing you must trust

                          Your Choice to Make

    HATE    HATE    HATE

I hate that word.

Love your enemies and do good to them.

Haven’t you heard, it will go well with you then?

For love conquers all, the small and the tall.

Let all situations cause you to grow.

Remember you always reap what you sow.

Go in the power of the Lord with a smile on your face.

Do it all for God’s glory with His covering of grace.

This old world has enough sadness without all that hate.

So, let God’s love fill you, opening-up your souls suborn gate.

Your life will change, the minute you start.

In fact, you will feel great.

So, let love in.  Let it be your soulmate, not all that hate.

            Release Yourself

Do you enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season

Living for yourself, your power, your ego

and oh yes that other reason

Remember pride goes before the fall

Isn’t it time you heard your savior’s call

For then the spirit of the glory of God will rest upon you

No more struggle for pride, ego and power

For he will make you all new

Christ will change your old body to be fashioned like His own

He will give you a heart of flesh to replace your heart of stone

So, release yourself over to His mercy and grace

You will then have His power for everything you face

Say yes for what He did for you at the cross

If you don’t, it will be for you and eternal loss

Passed On To Heaven

Lullaby and good night, it’s time to close your eyes and give up your fight

Soon you will see heaven’s gate and God’s marvelous light

Angel’s in heaven will be standing near

Waving you in as they cheer

You fought the good fight and the battle is won

It is time to enter His Gates and partake in heavenly fun

His love will unfold in the radiance of His Glory

Providing you with an eternal start for the rest of your story

His complete peace will finally be achieved

Because throughout your life you truly believed

It will last forever, time there never ever runs out

Never again will there be tears or pain, never again will you doubt

So, smile and cheer your savior is here

Bask in His radiance, he will now always be near

Our Curse Is Broken

Can you see?  Can you see? 

Christ became a curse for you and me

For cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree

He can now help you break the curses of your past

It will take your perseverance and your willingness, then with His help,

Those cures won’t last

He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world, so give a cheer

As we worship and praise Him, you will feel His power as he draws near

We are more than conquers boldly declare to all

Then watch all those curses disappear one by one as they fall

God takes those dead curses and puts them in the back of his hearse

We are blessed for God won’t allow us to be a curse

They will be carried away never to be found

He is able, for it says the King of Kings on His crown

Trials and tribulations will always be there

But with Christ in you there has never been a stronger pair

With His love, joy, peace and patience you will be sealed

As you accept them with all your heart and mind,

Your soul will become healed

                 No Not One

If you say you have not sinned, then God’s Word says you are a liar

Admit your sin, turn it over to God, let Him be your heart’s desire

For all have sinned and fall short of His glory

But thankfully God tells us that’s not end to our story

For Who is a God like unto thee, you pardon our inequity and set us free

You delight in mercy and cast our sins into the depths of the sea

Because your Son paid the price for our sin when He died on that tree

Because of your loving mercy you remember our sins no more

Thank you, Jesus for leaving your riches and coming down for us and becoming poor

For the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin

Believe this and let Christ work through you to do more than you ever imagine

               My Way or His

How long will thou hide thy face from me, how long?

How long shall I sing this sad song

Patience is a virtue that requires a lot of wait.

The Lord’s timing is already figured into your fate.

If you do it your way, the end might be something you hate.

Wait upon the Lord and in the end, it will turn out great.

Are you one who says, the Lord has forgotten me.

Trust in the Lord for He said, I will not forget thee

For the trial of our faith has great reward, remember hope, patience, and faith makes a strong three strand cord

When the heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I

Then with patience, hope and your faith, turn it all over to your rock

And wave good-bye

Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding

No matter how tough life gets or how demanding

In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight

His word is telling us over and over to let God be our soul mate

Will all of your troubles then be gone?  No, some will still be there

But remember, God will always be with you, he will always care

Let Him be with you and make you strong

Or do it your way in your strength and in the end you will know if you were right or wrong
