What a Mystery

What if I had a million stars to put in place?
What if I knew them all and called them all by name? 
I’d pick a special one to put up in the sky
Over the place where soon the Savior would arrive

What if the angels came to me with wondrous praise?
What if they asked me who should hear the news they gave?
I’d pick the ones who would be humble and obey
Shepherds out in the field who kept watch every day

CHORUS
Oh, what a mystery. Oh, what great love
The Son of God left His throne above
Oh, what compassion on sinners like me
He left His royal throne to die for me

What if the shepherds brough their flocks to see the King?
What if three wise men travelled far their gifts to bring?
There in a manger lay the Savior of the world
Today He’s just a babe but He’ll be Lord of Lords

CHORUS

BRIDGE
What if He had not come?  I’d still be lost.
No hope to look for, all peace is gone
Joy would be sorrow, True love unknown
If Jesus had not come this Christmas morn

CHORUS

You Are Greater, Lord

Leave a reply

I come before you now down on my knees
Hoping that you’ll hear my humble pleas
I know that I do not deserve your grace
But yet I pray and seek your holy face

I need a touch, Lord, down in my soul
I need a restoration that will make me whole
I’ve fallen far away from you
I really don’t know what to do
Except to come and bow before your throne

I know that you can bring me through the loudest storm
I know that you can make the raging sea be calm
I know that nothing is too hard for you to do
I lift my hands and lift my voice to worship you

I need a touch, Lord, down in my soul
I need a restoration that will make me whole
I’ve fallen far away from you
I really don’t know what to do
Except to come and bow before your throne

Great are you, Lord
Great are you, Lord
Greater than my doubts.  Greater than my fears
Greater than my troubles and my tears
Greater than the battle that I face
You are greater, Lord.  You are greater

Great are you, Lord
Great are you, Lord
Greater than this mountain in my way.
Greater than the biggest trial I face
Greater than the storms.  Greater over all
Your are greater, Lord.  You are greater

You bring victory.  You bring victory
You bring victory when I am on my knees
You bring victory.  You bring victory
You bring victory and hear my humble plea

Jesus Is My Pattern

Leave a reply

I want to walk with integrity
Leaving behind all my iniquity
Living every day in the promises of the Lord
I want to speak with sincerity
So that giving grace is not a rarity
Help me to live like the one that I adore

Jesus is my pattern
His life I live after
All that I do should reflect His love for me
Help me hear you Father
Living a life that matters
I want to be all that you want me to be

Everything I have is yours
I come humbly to your throne
Surrendering my life to you in every way
I adore you Lord
I will give you more
More than ever before starting today

Great Disgrace

Leave a reply

What else can I do but be myself
I cannot just copy somebody else
I have to rely on what the Lord has given me

But I often I think this life is hard
I try to pretend that I am smart
And now I am falling hard and no one will rescue me

Help me to see the path that I have walked
Help me to learn the voice that leads me to the dark
Help me to leave my foolish pride behind admitting my mistakes
And humbly bow before your throne in great disgrace

Have mercy, Lord, on me
I bow down at your feet and humbly plea
I didn’t listen.  I wasn’t wise
I could not see the enemy’s eyes
Have mercy, precious Lord, on me

Now I know what to do with this mess
I come to you now and I confess
Greed and alluring talk of grandeur led me astray

I will walk out of my despair
I will come up and small the air
You shine a light along my path to show me the way

You help me see the path that I have walked
You help me learn the voice that led me to the dark
You help me leave my foolish pride behind and look on up ahead
There you await with open arms and calm my fear

Have mercy, Lord on me
I bow down at your feet and humbly plea
I will now listen.  I’ll open my eyes
I will turn to you to help me be wise
Have mercy, precious Lord, on me
