IF CHRIST IN CONVERSATION (WE'D ENGAGE)

Folder: 
Songs

 

Verse 1:

 

G

Eternity is forever,

D                        Em7    G

and yet we rarely give it much thought.

G

Instead, we selfishly prefer

C

to think about the tiny dot

D                                G

on the otherwise clean page.

 

Chorus:

 

D                                    A

If Christ, in conversation, we'd engage;

D                    A

then Our fears, they would be assuaged.

D                  G

This is known by the humble sage.

D                   C              G

He scribbles it upon life's not so clean page.

 

Verse 2:

 

We rarely give eternity much thought,

we concentrate on life here on earth.

We think about the tiny dot.

In fleeting moments, we find mirth.

But, these are not the thoughts of the sage.

 

(Chorus)

 

Verse 3:

 

We concentrate on life here on earth

giving no thought to eternal life.

In fleeting moments, we seek mirth.

If we'd realize how important is the afterlife.

Our fears, they would be assuaged

 

(Chorus)

 

Verse 4:

 

Giving no thought to eternal life,

to think on this tiny dot, we selfishly prefer.

If we'd realize how important is the afterlife,

that Eternity is forever,

then maybe Christ, in conversation, we'd engage.

 

(Chorus)

HYSTERICAL

 

They said I was being hysterical,

when I told them about the miracle

You performed in my life.

Pain, sin, guilt were rife

in the stone I called a heart.

Your love made that stone

softer than a dog's squishy toy

and filled it with joy.

I no longer feel all alone.

The moment I knelt in surrender

before You and declared

“my selfish ways end here

for I am impaired

by my own sin.

Lord, I invite You in

make my heart Your temple,”

I was born anew. So simple,

it was, to come to You.

Yet, when I told them about this miracle,

They said I was being hysterical.

THANKFUL TO THE ONE ABOVE

Folder: 
Thanksgiving

Thankful to the One Above

I am for the opportunity to bless others

whether it's through a kind word

or good deed that covers

someone's heart with Your love.

For any opportunity, Lord,

to serve You, I am thankful.

For this blesses my soul.

BECAUSE CHRIST WAS SACRIFICED

 

Adam, with him, he took us all

When he so stubbornly did fall.

But forgiveness can be

ours because of God's compassion.

Upon the cross, He bore our sin,

but the tomb is empty.

 

The Pure Lamb was sacrificed.

Taking on our sinfulness, Christ

paid for our sin so vile.

But His tomb became empty

on the third day. Now we can be

free of our sin so vile.

 

Heaven is now my home sweet home.

As a pilgrim I simply roam

this little blue sphere

fishing for souls fishing for souls.

I shall keep fishing for for souls

as long as I am here.

 

Because Christ was sacrificed.

Taking on our sinfulness, Christ

paid for our sin so vile.

But His tomb became empty

on the third day. Now we can be

free of our sin so vile.

MY FAITH IS RENEWED

In the midst of my heart's winter,
Your Holy love built a fire.
May I always remain in the center
ofYour divine will. Oh, how I enter
Your presence in faith, and winter
becomes spring and my life is renewed.
It is only by grace that You'd
grow faith in this humble garden
in this, my heart, that was once hardened.
It is only by grace that my faith is renewed.

BY GRACE I MAY ENTER

 

By grace I may enter

His Holy presence.

His grace makes no sense

but by faith I enter

By grace I may enter.

 

Grace is the essence

His merciful love is intense.

He is salvation's inventor.

By grace I may enter

 

His Holy presence.

Into the Holy presence

of salvation's inventor,

By grace I may enter.

WITHOUT YOU, I HAVE NOT EVEN BREATH

 

I am humbly down on my knees

seeking an audience with the pure King

of my heart, the giver of joyful peace.

Oh, the comfort, peace and joy that You bring

into the humble heart of this foundling

are the only strength I will ever have.

You...You...You are the only Hope I have.

Without You, there is only lonely death.

In You, eternal blissful life I have.

Without You, I have not even breath.

MY SIN DRAGS

Folder: 
Songs

Verse 1:

 

C                              G
Gently swaying in the breeze,
Dm
the limbs of these trees
C                        F
remind me of my heart
G                C
being gently moved
C                 G
by Your Holy Spirit.
G              C
Your grace proved

 

Chorus:

 

C                         Am
Without You, I was unclean,
C                             G
and my good deeds, mere filthy rags.
Dm                                 Em7
My heart was shriveled up like an autumn
G                                   C
leaf. Me, away from you, my sin drags.

 

Verse 2:

 

For God so loved me, He
sent Jesus to be
the sacrificial lamb
that through faith in Him
born again, I am.
Like a fallen limb

 

Bridge:

 

C
Like a fallen limb
F
I was dried up and dead,
G
highly flamable.
C
But Glory be to him
G
who is capable
C
of setting me free
G                              C
and breathing new life into me.

 

(Repeat Chorus)
