Worship God

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

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

You Are

Eternal God, Your reign is forever
You are God, we magnify Your glory
You are life, You are breath
You hold the world with Hand unshaken

With every thought, with every day
I sing Your praise, I humbly pray that
My life proclaims Your greatness

Eternal God, Your reign is forever
You are Truth, we magnify Your glory
You are life, You are breath
You hold the world with Hand unshaken

With every thought, with every day
I sing Your praise, I humbly pray that
My life proclaims Your greatness

Eternal God, Your reign is forever
You are Lord, we magnify Your glory
You are life, You are breath
You hold the world with Hand unshaken

Overwhelmed

I overwhelm you with My favor
You are overwhelmed with My love
When life at times overtakes you
Find My grace to overcome/

Overwhelmed by Your presence
Overwhelmed by Your love
Triumph came as You promised
Victory sent from heaven above/

Not by might, nor by power
But by My Spirit says the Lord
Once defeated now victorious
Standing in redeeming love/

Overwhelmed by Your presence
Overwhelmed by Your love
Triumph came as You promised
Victory sent from heaven above/

By faith Your word refining
Endurance taught my soul to long
Your perfect will birthed by Your Spirit
Steadfast love my great reward/

Overwhelmed by Your presence
Overwhelmed by Your love
Triumph came as You promised
Victory sent from heaven above

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

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
