Song of My Heart

healing-gardens1-920x350,google image
Abandoned and hopeless this world stood alone
Stripped down to existing without God as its own
Then He stooped down, chased darkness away
And pointed us toward light when love had its way/

His light brought us out from defeat and shame
Caused us to triumph and grace now reigns
Shall ever be our life proclaim
O song of my heart eternal His praise/

God Most High love covers the world
Sent Jesus His Son to rescue our souls
Savior, Servant, Redeemer and Lord
O song of my heart eternal reward/

His power bestowed on Resurrection Day
In humility and trust I shall obey
Hope eternal raised up in my soul, grateful
My song endless Your praises behold!/

Savior, Servant, Redeemer and Lord
O song of my heart eternal reward!

My God, My Life

O Lord, You have examined my heart
And know everything about me
You know when I sit down or stand
When far away You know my every thought

You chart the path ahead of me
And tell me where to stop and rest
Every moment You know where I am
You know what I am going to say
Before I even say it

You both precede and follow me
And place Your hand of blessing on my head

This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe!
I can never be lost to Your Spirit!
I can never get away from My God!

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
And knit them together in my mother’s womb
Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex
It is amazing to think about

Your workmanship is marvelous
And how well I know it
You were there while I was being formed
in utter seclusion and saw me before I was born

You scheduled each day of my life
Before I began to breathe,
Every day was recorded in Your Book!

You are thinking about me constantly
I can’t count how many times a day
Your thoughts turn toward me, when I awaken
In the morning You are still thinking of me

Search me, O God and know my heart; test my thoughts
Point out anything You find in me that makes You sad
And lead me along the path of everlasting life

Adapted from Psalm 139

All In All

I dare not ask what life would be
Had not my Savior died for me
The least of man my wanderings lead to
Empty treasures surrounded be/

Love reached out my soul now clings
Ignited flame unquenched remains
Straightened path now seeks Your Name
This new life now sings Your praise/

My All in All You have become
Now I sing Your endless love
Take my hand that You may be
ALL in All my life in Thee/

I dare not ask what life would be
Had not my Savior died for me
The least of man my wanderings lead to
Empty treasures surrounded be

Take my hand that You may be
All in All my life in Thee!

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!

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!
