You were mercy to me when I wandered Down the road of sin and despair I struggled just to survive a life That was desperately needing a prayer You were mercy to me when I looked up From the pit I was drowning in My heart barely knew how to cry out Yet you heard from the depth of my sin Then you saved me Reached out and held me Wrapped your arms around this soul of mine It was then you gave me A taste of your mercy I will forever praise your name You were mercy to me when I looked back And I longed for the ways of my past You showed me your way was much brighter You showed me your mercy will last Your mercy took my guilt. Your mercy took my shame. Your mercy took my scars. Your mercy took my pain. Your mercy took my sin and washed it all away Now your mercy gives me life eternally You saved me Reached out and held me Wrapped your arms around this soul of mine It was then you gave me A taste of your mercy I will forever praise your name I will forever praise your name The name of Jesus
My Savior’s Call
Not the highest mountain, nor the deepest sea. Not the river flooding, nor the storms around me. Not the hardest trial, nor a dread disease Can separate me from the love that Jesus has for me Not the harshest gossip, nor the threats toward me Not the persecution, nor those who don't believe Not the hard temptations, nor the devils’ deeds Can separate me from the love that Jesus has for me Unquenchable, unstoppable is my Saviors love Undeniable. Unforgettable is His mercy from above Unending, irresistible is my Saviors call Crying out to me. Crying out to all He calls me out of darkness and into His great light He calls me in my battles and strengthens me to fight His grace and mercy find me and show me what is right He calls me out of myself and into His great love
When That Day Arrives
One day all the saints will look skyward The thunder will roll through the air A trumpet will sound Great hope will abound As they know Jesus soon will be there The lost will be trembling in fear At the noise that the heavens will make They won’t know the times Or even know why The saints are all praising His name Then we will rise to the sky As Jesus appears in the clouds What a day that will be When His face we’ll see The angels will shout His applause The lost will stay here on this earth As chaos erupts everywhere So many have left Planes and cars are all wrecked Those remaining on earth are all scared The saints sit and feast at His table The go to their mansions of gold Then every day They sing out their praise And the worship will never grow old The lost are in mass confusion Then someone points out the truth The rapture has come Those with faith in the Son Are now gone just as they always knew I tell you this story today So that you will be ready to go When that day arrives You will only survive Only if Jesus you know Not just that He was a teacher Or a prophet, or holy, or wise But that He is the one Who died for your sins And top Him you must be reconciled Come to the altar today Come and repent and be saved Accept Jesus Christ That he lived and He died Then arose to bring eternal life
He’s Still There
When times get hard and life seems tough You start to think you’re down on luck When you’ve fallen down and you can’t get up He’s still there When the storms of life are all around The thunder drowns out every sound When the rain makes you slip and fall to the ground He’s still there He’s still there in the heartache He’s there in the pain He’s there when it seems like He’s far away He said He won’t leave you He’ll always be near Just call out His name and you’ll know He’s still there There have been days when His presence was gone But I cried out to Jesus and He came along Just one little prayer or one worship song Let’s me know that He’s there and I’m never alone He’s still there for your healing He’s there for your hurt He’s there when your sorrow is drowning your heart He said he won’t leave you He’ll always be near Just call out His name and you’ll know He’s still there
I Found My Knees
I saw it coming, make no mistake The enemy comes just to kill and to take He tries to destroy us every day We must be wary of His crafty ways Don’t turn your back, don’t run and hide But stand by the gate that will never subside He cannot go past the place where He dwells The church will not lose to the gates of hell Stand strong in the Lord In the power of His might His word and His Spirit will not lose this fight As long as you stand where He is in sight The enemy runs from the Lord’s great Light The place where you fight is down on your knees Giving the Lord all your struggles and needs He wants to help you but He must hear your plea Cry out with your troubles and then let them be The Lord will take over and bring victory Over all of your trials and all your dis-ease Then rise up, give Him glory, for a sweet sense of peace He’s won the battle because I found my knees
