My Savior's Call

He Is Always There

 
 There are times I sit in wonder at God’s love for me
 It seems he’s always right there walking beside me
 And when I seem to falter, He’s there to pick me up
 When I’m dry and thirsty He’s there to fill my cup
  
 There are times I cannot fathom how He does these things
 That bring such great delight to life through ordinary things
 Like friends that show up at your door when you need it most
 Or someone comes from nowhere to show He loves you so
  
 There are times I look to heaven and thank my God above
 For all the riches of His grace and glory of His love
 He has a way of showing me each day how much He cares
 By all those simple things in life that He brings unawares
  
 There are times I bow in reverence and say my daily prayers
 Because I know He hears each word for He is always there
 And when He brings the answer, I will lift my voice in praise
 To the one that I call Savior, Jesus Christ is His sweet name 
Let the Storm roll in

Let The Storms Roll In

 Bring your broken, wounded heart
 Come to me just as you are
 Lay your burdens at my feet
 I am here to meet your need
  
 Nothing is too hard for me
 Nothing is too big
 Nothing is impossible
 When you make Christ your King
 Come before my throne
 Bring to me your prayer
 I am listening
 To every word you say
  
 I will heal
 I will deliver
 I will save your weary soul
 I bring peace
 I bring joy
 In the middle of your storm
  
 So, let the storm roll in
 Let the storm roll in
 Let the clouds build up
 And the lightning flash
 My Savior waits to rescue me
 Out of the storm He sets me free
 I’ll stand with Him eternally
 Let the storm roll in
 Let the storm roll in 
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
