Live for God

A Perfect Day

A perfect day my soul at peace
My plans surrendered yielded be
To Him alone my trust belongs
To birth His will in me alone/

A perfect day all is at rest
A day to prosper at His bequest
His will supreme I honor best
When I surrender all triumph rest/

A perfect day of true success
Lies in the wisdom of God’s best
To wait upon His Word my test
My rock, my fortress, His righteousness/

A perfect day my soul at peace
My plans surrendered yielded be
To Him alone my trust belongs
To birth His will in me alone

The Sound of Rain

The sound of rain to ears refined
Through tempest storms and fire divine
This heart of mine now holy bound
Blessings promised are now mine/

Hear the sound all those who wait
For God above in whom our faith
Shall not fail our hope to save
To bless, restore our lives this day/

The storm has passed, this trial of life
His faithful light, His hand held tight
Now clear the path He had in mind
We stay the course, His holy child/

The sound of rain to ears refined
Through tempest storms and fire divine
This heart of mind now holy bound
Blessings promised are now mine!

Look on Jesus

Life has been an incline
Toil so bittersweet
But when I look on Jesus
He makes it oh so sweet/

My pace has found its rhythm
My focus now complete
I’ve learned to look on Jesus
His love my strength to keep/

Through trials that strengthen
And grace all blessings flow
I humbly look on Jesus
Who lights my path below/

Life has been an incline
Toil so bittersweet
But when I look on Jesus
He makes it oh so sweet!

Belong

Jesus I belong to You
Nothing in this world will do
All my works I give to You
Use my life Your glory due/

There was a time I only knew
This homeless world my only view
Now touched by love completely new
Eternal home I found in You/

Jesus I belong to You
Nothing in this world will do
All my works I give to You
Use my life Your glory due/

Your loving gaze upon the earth
Seeking those whose hearts brand new
Turning from our works to You
Spirit, soul and body due/

Jesus I belong to You
Nothing in this world will do
All my works I give to You
Use my life Your glory due

Triumphant One

O sweet victory, you have won
Triumphant Savior is our song
Wounded hearts now healed belong
To our Savior keep us strong/

Barren fields now filled with fruit
Everlasting faith in You
O Restorer of my soul
Lord of life, abundance flow/

Sovereign One who searches out
Those whose hearts are Yours contrite
Brings to triumph with a shout
Angel armies our victory delight/

O sweet victory you have won
Triumphant Savior is our song
Wounded hearts now healed belong
To our Savior keep us strong

Eyes To See

Touch my eyes Lord that I may see
Your great will you’ve planned for me
Humbly I come on bended knee
Seeking Your will indwelt in me/

Take captive thoughts my mind set free
Submit my plans to a greater plea
That I would choose obedience be
A mind set free to soar with Thee!/

Triumphant One, who promised all
Eyes to see His highest call
Touch my eyes that I may see
Your great will you’ve planned for me!/

Triumphant One, O Shepherd King
Help me walk Thy Presence be
Your life, the Cross rose up for me
That I may live and soar with Thee!

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah what a Savior

Hallelujah what a Friend

Hallelujah King of Glory

Born to save us from our sin!/

So loved the world that He created

Yearned to redeem us from the pit

Gave His only Son begotten

We are new creatures alive in Him!/

Hallelujah what a Savior

Hallelujah what a Friend

Hallelujah King of Glory

Born to save us from our sin!/

Life everlasting in His Presence

Born again to reign with Him

Left behind a world of sorrow

Jesus Christ is now my Friend!/

Hallelujah what a Savior

Hallelujah what a Friend

Hallelujah King of Glory

Born to save us from our sin!

I Am Yours, You Are Mine

I am Yours, You are mine

This life I live, be glorified

Each breath I take in Thee I find,

I am Yours, You are mine//

God in me, my life not mine

Your Word in me, new life divine

My God, the Word, Jesus I find

Christ the Lord who saved mankind!//

My need for Thee, O Mighty God!

To lead me through this life abroad

Triumphant path for those who cling

Forever more to Jesus, King//

I am Yours, You are mine

This life I live, be glorified

Each breath I take in Thee I find

I am Yours, You are mine

Live for You

Live For You

My anguished heart

Laid bare for You

As morning dawns

Now sings to You/

With heart bowed down

In humble praise

I raise my hands

Receive Your grace/

Entrust my heart

My life, my all

I give to You

Surrenders call/

To honor You

My whole life through

My highest praise,

To live for You.

My highest praise,

To live for You.
