All That I Need

Lord, Help Me Please

Leave a reply 
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.

He Restores My Soul

Leave a reply 
 When trouble is all around me 
 And I'm not sure which way to go
 I turn to my Lord and Savior
 For He restores my soul 
  
 When this world seems to overtake me
 And the enemy seems so bold 
 I know that Jesus will hold me
 For He restores my soul
  
 CHORUS
 He restores my joy in sorrow
 He restores my peace in the storm
 He restores my hope in the valley
 He'll always restore my soul 
  
 I go through each day with this victory
 Because He's there to show me the way
 I know that my path will be guarded
 He'll restore my soul every day
  
 CHORUS
  
 And though I walk through the valley
 Still waters will be by my side
 Green pastures will be in my future
 My Savior is always my guide
  
 Through sickness
 Through pain
 Through heartache 
 Through rain
 Through good times 
 Through bad
 He’s restore me in every way
  
 CHORUS

No Weapon

 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

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 
Let the Storm roll in

Let The Storms Roll In

Leave a reply 
 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
