One Wish

One Wish

 If I had one wish to wish, what would it be
 In this world that’s full of so much misery
 What could I say
 That would turn night to day
 What wish would bring light to the streets
  
 I could wish for joy that would fill every soul
 I could wish for peace that would calm every storm
 But is either enough
 To bring hope to us
 When our spirits are troubled and torn
  
 I think I would wish that Jesus
 Would calm every weary soul
 I think I would wish that Jesus
 Would make every spirit whole
 I think I would wish that Jesus
 Would take every sin away
 That He’d turn my night into day
 Then I realize He already did.  He already did.
  
 After all this consideration
 I can think of one wish for all nations
 That He’d open their eyes
 They’d look up to the skies
 Lifting praise in great adoration
  
 Jesus is our wish come true
 He died on the cross for you
 Then He rose to give eternal life
 Ask Him now to come live inside
  
 Then this wish for joy would come true
 This wish for peace would find you
 This wish would bring light and truth
 This wish would rescue you
  
 He’s not a wish, He is yours
 Open your heart to the Lord
 Let His spirit be your reward
 Ask Jesus to rescue your soul
it's Simple

It’s Simple

 It’s simple.  I just want to praise Him
 For all He has done for me
 To lift up my hands and worship
 Jesus Christ my Lord and King
 I’ll sing a grand hallelujah
 To the one who has set me free
 Then I’ll bow down before His throne
 To honor His majesty
  
 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
 King of Kings and Lord of Lords
 Jesus Christ the one whom I adore
 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
The Overcomer

The Giver of Life

 He gives hope to the hopeless
 Peace to the restless
 Faith for the faithless
 Love to the worthless
  
 He gives light in the darkness
 Strength for my weakness
 Joy for my sadness
 Health for my sickness
  
 He’s the giver of life to all who are lost
 He paid my price as He hung on the cross
 The shame and the pain He bore for me
 Taking my sin and setting me free
  
 Oh, what a wonderful Savior
 Oh, what mercy divine
 Oh, what grace so amazing
 Jesus is mine, Jesus is mine
 Jesus is mine.  Jesus is mine
  
 So, I will lift up my hands and praise Him
 Praise Him, praise Him
 I will lift up my heart and worship
 Worship Christ the King 

Grace Plus Faith

 It’s a simple equation all can do
 The oldest in age and the youngest too
 Anyone who can think
 Or can learn anything
 Can trust that the answer was given to you
  
 First came the Father, who out of His love
 Sent His only Son and said it was enough
 I’ll show them my grace
 When He takes their place
 The sins of the world will go down to the grave
  
 All they need to do is add their little faith
 That they would believe that He died in their place
 As they turn from there sin
 And ask Him to come in
 My grace and their faith will lead them to be saved
  
 Grace plus faith is the answer to life’s biggest tests
 Grace plus faith in the midst of your storms will bring rest
 Grace plus faith will turn your sorrow to joy
 Grace plus faith will heaven’s armies employ
 As you come to the Father, He will pour out His grace
 And you will be saved adding your little faith
  
 Don’t delay, do not wait.
 Come to Jesus today
 Learn the equation grace plus faith
 Simple and yet profound for all time
 I hope that you’ll hearken to the simple rhyme
 Trust in His grace today
 Add faith and you will be saved
