Drink of My Grace

Leave a reply 
'Round about midnight the enemy came and he tried to entangle me
'Round about midnight the darkness if sin tried to hold on despite my plea
'Round about midnight i cried to me Lord to please come close to rescue me
Then I heard His voice
I heard His voice saying Son I have set you free

Free to dance on the mountains of hope
Free to drink of my grace 
Free to walk in the light and be bold
Free to drink of my grace
Free to enter my city of gold
Free to drink of my grace 
Free to let my mercy be known
Free to drink of my grace 

Now I am walking in light and not darkness, midnight has gone away
I called on the name of my Lord and my Savior and He brought the light of day
I will not be bound by sun any longer for He has shown me the way
When I called His name
When I called His name He said Son let me show you the way to be free

Free to dance on the mountains of old
Free to drink of my grace 
Free to walk in the light and be bold
Free to drink of my grace
Free to enter my city of gold
Free to drink of my grace 
Free to let my mercy be known
Free to drink of my grace 

I am free.  I am free
I am free.  I am free
I am free.  I am free 
Jesus has set me free
Jesus has set me free

Free to dance on the mountains of old
Free to drink of my grace 
Free to walk in the light and be bold
Free to drink of my grace
Free to enter my city of gold
Free to drink of my grace 
Free to let my mercy be known
Free to drink of my grace
This Time

Last time I walked away
My faith was to weak to stand
My hope swallowed up in pride
Did not feel you by my side

Last time I didn’t hear
Your voice whisper in my ear
My love for you dwindled cold
I forgot the mercies of old

But that was last time, and it is gone
This is now and your love has won

This time I’ll stand by you
This time my faith is true
This time I’ll trust in you
Because you came through every time

There’ll be no more last times
Because I know that you are mine
This time I’m on solid ground
Because with your love you surround

Lord of my days and nights
Keep me ever close to your light
Let the last times disappear
So that this time your voice is clear
Help me see that you’re always near
Help me feel your sweet love so dear
Help me know the peace and good cheer
Of this time.
Where You Are

Where You Are

I hear you calling Lord at the dawning of the day
I hear your footsteps, Lord, as I walk along the way
I feel your presence, Lord. I ask you please to stay
Close by my side.  I will abide in you

You send your comforter to teach me of your ways
Your Holy Spirit, Lord, to guide me every day
I feel His presence, Lord, and I ask Him to stay
Close by my side.  I will abide in you

Where you are, there is mercy. Where you are, there is grace
Where you are I know I’m safe from all harm
Where you are, there is freedom. Where you are, there is peace
I always want to stay where you are

So many times, Lord, I have wandered from your side
So many times, Lord, I have given up on life
So many times, Lord, you’ve reminded me that I’m
Close by your side, so I’ll abide in you

Right here, right now you hold me in your arms
Right here, right now you keep me from all harm
I don’t deserve it, I never will
Yet you come and show your love to me
You come and show your love to me
All That I Need

Lord, Help Me Please

If God's in control, why do I worry
If God's in control, why do I dread
If God's in control i must always remember 
That He's not done with me yet 

I look at my life and see all the struggles 
Daily they come at me from every side
Just when I think that I might go under 
He comes along and strengthens my life 

It seems that I think I can handle it all
My pride says that I just cannot fall
Then I see this world crash in around me
And I find myself falling down on my knees 
Shouting Lord, help me please

Help me to see your mercy and grace
Help me to see the love on your face
Help me to lift my hands up in praise
To the one who can all my struggles erase

Yes, God's in control of the wind and the waves
He's in control of the storm and the rain
When trials and troubles are all around me
The best place I can be is down on my knees
Shouting Lord help me please

He's not a God who will leave me alone
To muddle through trouble all on my own
He's full of compassion, patience and peace 
He'll always be there to comfort me
When I cry out Lord, help me please.
