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 

Be Still and Know That I AM God

 Be still. 
 In the middle of the storm
 Be still.
 When your heart aches
 Be still
 When your mind doubt
 Be still
 When trials overtake you
 Be still
 When the enemy comes in like a flood
 Be still
 When you're afraid
 Be still
 When your body is aching and tired
 Be still
 Be still
 Listen for His voice
 Be still
 Hear Him whisper in your heart
 Be still
 The God of all creation knows what you're going through
 He knows where you struggle
 He knows where you hurt
 He desires that you be still
 And know that He is God

Call On Jesus

Leave a reply 
 When you wake up in the morning brew your coffee
 Have a muffin, or banana or some toast
 Make sure all the house around you is in order 
 Take a shower, brush your teeth and out the door
  
 Wait a minute, somethings missing in that sequence
 Something all of us should do to start our day
 There is nothing more important than this one small thing 
 Take some time down on your knees to pray
  
 Pray for children, pray for neighbors, pray for grandma
 Pray for friends that live both near and far away
 Pray for pastor and for mayor and for workers 
 Pray for everything you'll do throughout the day
  
 You see the secret to success is not your bankroll
 Not your wisdom, or your power or your fame
 It’s not a matter of the place you have climbed to
 Your success comes from the times you called His name
  
 The name of Jesus is the key to all your future
 The name of Jesus is your peace in every storm
 The name of Jesus is a joy you can hold onto 
 He’s a refuge and a strong and mighty tower
  
 So, when you find that you are rushed and running ragged
 And it seems you don't have time to even think 
 Take a break down on your knees to call on Jesus
 And you'll find you have more time to follow Him
  
 He's the way. The truth, the life and He's your answer 
 To the question of a day that seems too short
 Just a little time with Jesus in the morning 
 Will make the whole day better from the start 

Riding On The Clouds

Leave a reply 
 Just outside the Eastern gate there’s a commotion
 The rumor is the King is coming soon
 The crowd all gathers waiting for His coming
 It may be evening, morning or at noon
  
 They stand and watch with great anticipation
 For His coming is an answer to their prayers
 All their lives they have had trials and tribulations
 When the King comes back true freedom will be theirs
  
 They have praised Him here on earth for generations
 They have served Him in every way they could
 They have spread the story of His soon arrival
 So that His great love would be understood
  
 Then they saw Him seated on a white horse
 Dressed in royal garments white as snow
 On His thigh was written King of Kings 
 And He entered as the Lord of Lords
  
 The crowd sang Glory Hallelujah to the King
 Glory Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords
 Worthy is the one who comes riding on the clouds
 To take His precious children home
  
 Glory, Hallelujah to the King
 Glory Hallelujah to the Lord
 Worthy is the one who comes riding in the clouds
 To take His precious children home.
Time for me to Rise

Time For me To Rise

Leave a reply 
 Time for me to rise
 To greet the morning light
 To see a bright sunshine
 In the eastern sky
  
 Time for me to rise
 To open up my eyes
 I’ve come to realize
 You are always by my side
  
 So, I will say my prayers
 And I will lift my praise
  
 Glory to the Father
 Glory to the Son
 Glory to the Spirit
 Three in one
  
 Praise and adoration
 Lifted to my Lord
 I will lift my voice to Him
 I will lift my hands to Him
 I will lift my heart to Him
 Jesus Christ my Lord
