God Praise Songs

In You Alone

You know my frame, my every heart beat
You know my days, my path to keep
Yet in this place where our hearts meet
In You alone my trust do keep/

You know my name, how my heart leaps
At the sound, You calling me
You know my pain, my fears relieved
In You alone my trust do keep/

You know my life, your plans for me
You know my ways, abide in me
You know the way, your truth I keep
In You alone, abide in me/

In You alone my trust do keep
I bow before Your Majesty
Where angels dwell in praise adorned
In You alone, my heart will soar, In You alone

The Path

Before Creation our journey set
Our path, our legacy designed to last
Lined with beauty beyond our grasp
Received by choice our Savior’s best/

The wonder of being found and loved
Earning not our Savior’s love
He first loved the created world
Then set before His path of love/

Oh hail the King for love so vast
We ne’er exhaust His steadfast path
Lined with goodness endless last
Enduring love my seal my path/

Teach us Savior to choose Your path
Wisdom taught prepares us best
Love corrects our hearts to trust
More like You our desired rest/

Before Creation our journey set
Our path our legacy designed to last
Lined with beauty beyond our grasp
Received by choice our Savior’s best/

Oh hail the King for love so vast
We ne’er exhaust His steadfast path
Lined with goodness endless rest
Enduring love my seal my path!

Angel Shout

O victory shout I hear the sound
The heavens roar and angels shout
His righteousness now crowns my life
Refined as gold His great delight!/

Deep billows rolled over me at times
His refuge sought, His arms delight
Taught me to look on Him alone
How sweet the fellowship I now own
How sweet the fellowship I now own/

O victory shout I hear the sound
The heavens roar and angels shout
His righteousness now crowns my life
Refined as gold His great delight!/

The joy beyond the struggle past
Could not have known endured at last
The victors crown my great reward
Your grace, your mercy, your love my own/

O victory shout I hear the sound
The heavens roar and angels shout
His righteousness now crowns my life
Refined as gold His great delight!

On My throne giving you
All I promised, vowed to you/

O Faithful God my trust secure
All my life not once alone
Every need a fragrance pure

Endless hope without respite
In Your time all beauty mine
All that wait and find delight/

Distracted

Before time captured my name
God knew me, shaped my frame
Ascribed beauty, spoke number of days
Taught me to know and love His ways/

I am distracted, distracted be
My Father’s home sealed in me forever
Heaven in sight life directed be
This humble frame delights in Thee/

His thoughts are higher, my thoughts below
His ways above higher than the earth
He is the first, He is the last
This is my Father, Lord God Almighty/

I am distracted, distracted be
My Father’s home sealed in me forever
Heaven in sight life directed be
This humble frame delights in Thee/

His thoughts toward me too great to number
Made in His image, reflect His wonder
Cause me to wonder how can this be
Dare move my glance O God from Thee/

I am distracted, distracted be
My Father’s home sealed in me forever
Heaven in sight life directed be
This humble frame delights in Thee

Reflection: A Life Walk

Could I have known the road ahead
Lay priceless jewels for me alone
Placed by God no one could take
All for me His treasure safe/

Step by step He gave me strength
Taught me how to bend and break
Faith renewed time and again
A warrior for Christ I became/

Now I know in part what lay
On the line by faith that day
Transformed the person meant to be
Priceless treasures assigned to me/

Thank You for Your loving hand
Keeping, guiding, protecting and
Guarding all Your future plans
That my soul with Savior stands/

Could I have known the road ahead
Lay priceless jewels for me alone
Placed by God no one could take
All for me His treasure safe

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

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!

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
