Rescue Me

Rescue Me

 I'm fighting an enemy I can't see
 My mind and my flesh fight against me
 I'm tossed about like a ship in the sea
 I need someone to rescue me
  
 Why is it so hard to walk the straight path
 Without the trials and tests that I have
 Why can’t there be a peace that will last
 When these storms seem to always come back
  
 I pick up your word and look for the light
 You say don't be anxious amidst the fight
 Just pray and give thanks in the darkest nights
 That's when my peace will erase your plight 
  
 So, I bow my head and fall on my knees
 I surrender to you, Lord, and I ask you please
 Take this storm away and rescue me
 Out of the harsh and wind tossed seas
  
 You say my child I will rescue you
 But this storm is one that you must go through
 You’ll be amazed at what I will do
 When all is done it will strengthen you
  
 Then I lift my hands and I give Him praise
 For I know there’s a light at the end of this day
 This battle is one where He’ll make a way
 And this enemy will go away
   
Your Mercy

Your Mercy

 I seek your mercy, Lord
 All that is within me needs your mercy, Lord
 I seek your mercy, Lord
 A heart that wanders from you longs for mercy, Lord
 Let mercy bring new life to me
  
 You move the mountains
 You calm the sea
 Sit on the throne in majesty
 Why do you think of me?
 Why do you care for me?
 Why did you die for me?
 Out of mercy, Your mercy.
  
 Come fill my soul with peace.
 Come now and rescue me
 Come bring new life to me
 By your mercy, your mercy
Marcy Comes Softly

Mercy Comes Softly

 Mercy comes softly 
 like a gentle rain in spring 
 slowly shaping into our life 
 To replenish us 
 restore us 
 renew us 
 revive us
  
 Mercy comes softly 
 like a quiet breeze in the fall
 bringing cool sensations of 
 peace in my heart 
 my soul 
 my mind 
 my spirit
  
 Mercy comes softly
 like a bubbling steam
 flowing down the mountainside into a larger river 
 filling it with
 fresh life 
 fresh nutrition 
 fresh energy
 fresh strength
  
 Mercy comes softly
 like a fluffy snow on a windless day
 covering the earth all around us
 cleaning all it falls upon
 making it look fresh
 unblemished
 new
 beautiful
  
 Mercy some softly into our lives
 Every minute of every day
 Never leaving us helpless and alone
 Guiding us
 Shaping us
 Protecting us
 Providing for us
  
 Don’t miss it
 Treasure it
 Recognize it when it comes
 Give thanks to God
 Lift up His name
 He will lift you up and out
 Of any trial
 Any test
 Any temptation
 Because in the blink of an eye
 When you list expect it
 But most need it
 His mercy will come
 Softly 
I'll Not Be Led Away

Higher Than Anything

 In my sorrow I cried out
 Worthy is the Lamb
 In my weakness I cried out
 Worthy is the Lamb
 In the storms of life, I cried out
 Worthy is the Lamb
 Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
  
 I lift your name up high, Lord Jesus
 I magnify and glorify your name
 Your name is above all things
 Highly to be exalted
 Highly to be praised
  
 You come to me in my sorrow
 King of Kings and Lord of Lords
 You come to me in my weakness
 King of Kings and Lord of Lords
 You come to me in the midst of the storm
 King of Kings and Lord of Lords
 King of Kings and Lord of Lords to all
  
 I lift your name up high, Lord Jesus
 I magnify and glorify your name
 Your name is above all things
 Highly to be exalted
 Highly to be praised
  
 I lift you higher Lord
 I lift you higher Lord
 I lift you higher Lord
 Higher than anything
  
 I lift your name up high, Lord Jesus
 I magnify and glorify your name
 Your name is above all things
 Highly to be exalted
 Highly to be praised
He Wants No Less

More Than Pearls

When I think of all the blessings  
And the mercy you bestow
I can't help but know 
You love me so 


When I think of my salvation
And the grace that set me free
I can't help but see 
Your love for me 


More than rubies 
More than pearls
More than all the precious jewels
Is the value of
Your love for me


So I will bow down and worship
Lift up my praise
To the one I adore
For His mercy and grace 
For I know He loves me
Through all my mistakes 
The author and finisher of my faith
