No Weapon

Leave a reply 
 I will keep on smiling in the midst of my troubles
 I will keep on dancing in the midst of my storms
 No weapon formed against me will prosper
 I will count my blessings when it seems all goes wrong
  
 There are days when it seems nothing goes right                            
 Bills and worries pile up all around
 It seems the enemy is gaining ground in my spirit
 I hear his voice, or I don’t hear a sound
  
 My prayer life fails me and my doubts seem to take hold
 I cannot find that sweet peace I once knew
 Out of the silence I can hear Jesus calling
 My child, I am right here with you
  
 I will keep on smiling in the midst of my troubles
 I will keep on dancing in the midst of my storms
 No weapon formed against me will prosper
 I will count my blessings when it seems all goes wrong
  
 The enemy comes and he tries to bring bondage
 He comes and he tries to cause harm
 But my God will turn all for His glory
 He’ll give joy in His sheltering arms
  
 He brings weakness, but God brings strength
 He brings worry, but my God brings faith
 He brings sickness, but my God brings health back
 He brings heartache, but my God repels his attack
 God brings power. God brings glory., God brings victory every time
 God brings honor. God brings freedom. God brings hope and eternal life
  
 I will keep on smiling in the midst of my troubles
 I will keep on dancing in the midst of my storms
 No weapon formed against me will prosper
 I will count my blessings when it seems all goes wrong
The Overcomer

Jesus Calls to You

Leave a reply 
 At any time, in any season
 For any cause, for any reason
 You’ll hear His voice if you will listen
 Jesus calls to you
  
 When you’ re up or when you’re weary
 When you’re sad or when your cheery
 When your glad or when you’re dreary
 Jesus calls to you
  
 In summer, winter, fall and spring
 His voice will tell you many things
 And only blessing it will bring
 Jesus calls to you
  
 It’s not a voice that’s loud and low
 But when you hear it you will know
 That you have purpose here below
 Jesus calls to you
  
 Please open up your ears today
 During work or during play
 He will guide you in His way
 Jesus calls to you
He Wants No Less

Great God Almighty

 I will praise God the Father, great things He has done 
 He has given us a Savior. He has given us His son
 Who died for our sins and then He rise again, 
 Sent the Holy Spirit to guide us to His love
  
 Great God Almighty how I love Him
 He came to us a lowly child
 Born of a virgin un a stable 
 Lived life as one whose meek and mild
  
 He walked upon this earth healing sickness
 Opened blinded eyes so they could see
 Taught us about a loving Father
 Who always cared for you and me
  
 He walked this earth to show His power 
 Great things He did and always good 
 But those in authority distained Him
 His mission they had misunderstood 
  
 They whipped him and spit on Him in hatred
 They put a crown of thorns upon His head
 They nailed Him to a cross and crucified Him
 Left Him to hang ‘til He was dead
  
 Some friends laid Him in a borrowed tomb
 Rolling a stone across the door
 The people all thought that it was over
 They would not gear from Him anymore 
  
 Three days went by
 Three days went by
 The stone rolled back
 He rose alive. 
 Out of the tomb
 Out of the grave 
 He is alive 
 He is alive 
 He is alive
 So we can live
 Forevermore
 To spread His love 
  
 I will praise God the Father, great things He has done 
 He has given us a Savior. He has given us His son
 Who died for our sins and then He rise again, 
 Sent the Holy Spirit to guide us to His love

A Hard Day

Leave a reply 
 It's hard Lord, hard to understand 
 Is this in your will?  Is this in your plan?
 I feel overwhelmed.   I need your loving hand
 This day has been so hard
  
 Everything seemed just like it should be
 All I ever wanted seemed to flow to me 
 Then it's like a lightning bolt dropped me to my knees
 This day has been so hard
  
 Was I moving much too fast?
 I thought this was meant to last?
 Help me understand your will 
 Help me understand your ways
 Guide me through this lonely day
 This day has been so hard.
  
 Betrayed by a close friend you went to trial
 Beaten, bruised and scarred you reconciled
 Bound to a cross, you bled and died 
 That day for you was hard 
  
 But you did it for me 
 So that I could be free.
 Then you rise again
 To give life to me 
 Now I know that it's true 
 At the end of this trial there is you
 Restoring my soul 
 Making my whole again
 Giving me strength to win
 I am alive 
 I will survive
 Because this hard day
 Has come to pass
