Sweet Jesus,

Sweet Jesus,
everyday my life gets better than the day before.
As I look upward, I catch a glimpse of glory,
Sweet Jesus,
I am waiting for the day, when I shall see You
face to face.

Sweet Jesus,
Most beautiful Name I know
I cannot began to express my hearts desire,
Sweet Jesus,
You are the lover of my soul.




Sweet Jesus,
A melody so sweet I hear
coming from the heavens above,
You have filled my life with so much love.
I can't wait for You to come and take me home.


Sweet Jesus,
There is no other name so sweet.
You are the Rose of Sharon,
but more beautiful and sweet.

Sweet Jesus,
You stay the same,
You word always will remain the same,
today, tomorrow and forever.


Sweet Jesus,
No one else will really know but You,
How I feel
My love for you is real,
As I look to the heavens above
I know I can proudly exclaim
How wonderful you are in my Life.

O Let my heart awake,

O Let my heart awake,
and be more in tune with You,Lord.
Let my total being be swept away by Your love.
Let my heart be in tune to hear your voice
so that I may know and understand Your word.
Let my soul arise to new heights,
let me soar like the eagle O Lord
and be closer lifted to heavens where You dwell.
Arise, Arise my soul.
Lord let me not be afraid to touch the hem of Your garment.
To be totally healed,
to be totally freed from all my fears and doubts.
Come Lord, and fill me with more of Your love,
more of your peace and joy.
Precious Holy Spirit fill me to over flowing,
like a fountain.
Give me the ability and strength I need to conquer my foes.
Wash me til I am white as snow.
Lord let my heart awake to Your calling,
Let my heart hear You speak to me O Lord,
Like the deer I am thirsty for more,
come Lord and fill me,
my heart, my soul it needs, it cries
to be filled to overflowing by You.
Arise, arise my soul and be swept away
in the current of God's love,
of His joy, of His wonderful Grace
Lifting up my hands this day to heavens above,
praising You Lord, giving all to Thee,
All I have is Yours,
I surrender to Your embrace,
covered by Your blood.
And swept away by Your love and grace.
O Let our hearts awake today,
cant You hear Him calling Your name.
Arise,hearken to His call.
hear Him calling Your Name.

To Be A Mom

To Be A Mom
Oh just for one moment to be a mom,
to experince the joy of a new life begun,
To hold in Your arms a miracle God gave,
to be a childs mom for just one day.
To be a mom, oh what blessings would be mine,
to fill this need in this heart of mine,
for oh how it aches to know such joy.
I can only pray that God knows my heart,
that one day He'll bring this joy into my life.
I just want to say to all you mothers everywhere,
Oh how blessed you are to have a child in your care.
Happy Mothers day, to all, and each day of the year.

He is True

IS TRUE*
He is True to His Word.
His promises He keeps,
Through the long lonely night,
He never sleeps,
He keeps watch over His children
while they sleep.
Like a shepherd through the day,
He guides each step of the way.
He is true, always faithful,
always there through each trial,
through all our sorrows, all
our pain
He gives healing at the touch
of His hand,
He restores our strength,
we are whole again.
He is true, His love is unfailing,
it has no end,
it goes on forever.
For in my heart I know,
God cannot lie.
He is true,
Each day wonderful blessings,
He brings to all who will open
their hearts to recieve,
such wonderful gifts he has for me and you.
He is true, always, to the end of time.

RAMBLING

RAMBLING
When you are running to and fro,
finding a way to make it right.
Look to theOne who can make it right,
Look to the One who lives above,
Look in your heart and You will Know,
and give it all into His hands.
He will work it out for good.
When all your dreams go up in smoke,
When your sorrows wear you down,
and your heart is broken apart,
look to the One who calmed the storm,
look to the One who died for all,
and rose to bring life for us all.
He can heal Your broken heart,
He can dry your many tears,
Look to God who sees your heart
and surrender all to Him.
When it feels like like you are standing all alone,
when you have lost it all and feel ashamed,
remember God He never changes,
He will forgive you once again,
for His love it changes never,
just abandon all that you have,
and surrender all into His hands,
He will hold you in His arms,
you never need to feel alarmed,
God has you safely in His hands,
He will always understand,
just remember who you are,
your a child of the King of Kings,
you are precious in His sight,
Our Father will always make it right,
if we surrender all to Him.
HE is the way, the Truth and Light,
and He will always lead us right,
for no one can take away,
the love He has for us each,
O what a wonderful Lord we serve,
and we do not deserve all that He has done for us,
When that day when I will see,
my Savior face to Face
I will fall down on my knees,
and thank Him for His unfailing love,
and for His grace He's given me,
I will worship and adore Him forever more,
when He takes me Home.

A Prayer

O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us;inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.

PART2 No Place to Lay My Head

PART2 No Place to Lay My Head

There is a place of quiet rest,
where my soul can be refreshed,
near to my Savior, near to the One,
who holds my heart in His hand.
So long have I searched for
some peace of mind,
what I didnt know it
was there all the time.
Now I have found a place to lay my head,
a shoulder tocry on when my heart is so sad.
For I have found a place,
I can run to,
In the shelter of His arms,
I can rest free from harm,
and under His wings I know I can rest,
for now I have found a place to lay my head.
There is a place filled with comfort and love.
It fills my soul with joy to be held in His arms.
No more does my heart fear,
for I know He is near.
His love is what I have searched for
all these years.
I just didnt realize,
it was there all the time,
I just had to reach out and find.
Now I have found a place to lay my head,
fear does not hold me anymore,
for I have found a place I can run to,
In the shelter of His arms
I can rest free from harm.
And under His wings I know I can rest,
for now I have found a place to lay my head.

No Place to Lay my Head(1)

Foxes have holes, birds of the air have nests,but the son of man has no place to lay His head.

No place to lay my head,
no place where I can rest awhile.
This weary pilgrim needs a place to call home.
A refuge from the storm.
The birds have their nest,
where they can rest.
Is there a place where I can go?
Please tell me, tell me now.
What will I do now?
With no place to lay my head.
Seems like so many years,
I have lived my life in constant fear.
Wanting to run away,
to escape the noise running through my head.
Where do I run?
Where do I hide?
From all this hurt inside.
The foxes have holes and the birds have their nest.
But where can I go to find peace and rest?
Where can I find some peace of mind?
Is there someone I can run to,
Is there someone I can tell
all my fears to?
And now what runs through my mind,
and my hearts longing to find
someone I can turn to.
So I will keep searching to find.
The foxes have holes, and the birds have their nest,
I just need a place I can call home.

Where is this road going to?

Where is this road going to?
Where is this journey leading me too?
Too many bumps in the road,
to many turns.
Where do I go from here?
Life is like a roller coaster ride,
and sometimes the journey hard
and slow and sometimes you wonder
where are you going to.
Do I keep following this narrow way,
with so many trials along the way.
Some days I just do not want to get up and go.
Everything seems like it is going all up hill.
Where do I go from here, Lord?
I just cant keep going this way,
all my dreams seemed to be left behind.
Where is this road going to?
I have to stop so many times to catch
my breath, to rest for awhile.
My heart is heavy and wondering
if this all worth the wait.
Can I continue on with so little faith?
Feels like all my hope is gone,
I need to get my strength back.
O Lord if You are listening
hear my cry.
O Lord do not tarry,
come quickly.
Your help is needed.
I cant go on this load is getting too heavy
for me to carry anymore.
Where is this road going to,
Where is this road going to?
Lord send angels to help me I pray,
please do not let me slip away.
Lord I need You help today.

I Feel I'm Supposed To Cry

I feel I'm supposed to cry,
but do not know why.
The answers will not come.
My heart is sinking low and
I feel I am about to lose control.
Where are the answers that I seek
to the questions on my mind.
I feel like time is slipping away
and I have just lost another day.
O Lord what am I do?
With this heavy heart of mine.
I feel I have somehow lost my way.
This sadness is taking control
over my mind and my soul.
Lord please help me not to stray
for I am having trouble to find my way.
Lord be my shepherd and my guide.
Take away this sadness deep inside.
For there is no where else to run,
and no place I can hide.
From the fear down deep inside.
Lord I need Your help this day
to help me find my way.
Lord please hold me close I pray,
take all my fears away.
For in Your arms is where I'll find,
rest and peace of mind.
There is nothing more I can do
but leave it up to You.

SEARCHING 2

SEARCHING

I have searched my whole life through,
I have tried to fill this space,
but with everything I tried,
it made this hole down deep inside,
deeper than it was before.
I had tried every open door,
searching for some peace to fill my life.
but it just kept getting more lonely down inside.
Now what am I supposed to do,
how can I find some worth in my life,
something to give me joy and peace of mind.
I have tried everything to bring
some happiness to this life I'm in.
Where am I to go now?
Tell me what am I supposed to do?
I would give anything,
I would do anything.
So I kept walking down lifes road,
with such a heavy load upon my back.
Still seeking for a purpose to go on,
didnt think I could go on for too much more.
As I gazed into the night,
I caught a glimpse of a light.
Shining bright in the darkest night,
as I drew closer there I saw
what I have been looking for.
There standing in the light was
man dressed in white ,
He was calling out my name,
He said child be not afraid,
then I asked Him who He was,
and these words He spoke to me.
I am Jesus, the Son of God,
I am the One you are looking for,
I gave my life for all mankind,
then I arose to bring new life.
I am the One who loves You so,
and I want to let you know,
I would do it all just for you.
So I got down on my knees,
and asked Jesus into my heart,
now I have found more than I ever dreamed,
I have new purpose and new life,
HE has filled that empty space,
He has filled my life with peace.
No longer bound by sin and strife.
Jesus He came and brought me a new life.
As I lift my heart in praise,
I want to give thanks for all He's gave,
Jesus I love You with all my heart,
and thank You for giving me a brand new life.

KEEP SEARCHING

KEEP SEARCHING
I have searched my whole life long
for that something to fill
this emptyness inside.
This worried heart could not go on
till I found the answer,
the answer is You, my Lord.
All of my life I have looked for away,
a open door, a clue to the answer
I needed in side,
so many questions arose,
where was I to go?
what was I to do?
I just kept on searching until I found,
the answer to the question I had deep inside.
untill that day I heard You knocking,
and to my surprise when I opened the door,
it was You my Lord,
It was You I was looking for.
For all of my questions became answers,
I was searching for,
No longer filled with doubt,
all my fear has been swept away.
Today I am filled with wonder and joy,
today my strength is renewed,
I have found new hope and faith,
I found the love I was longing for.
Where could I go,
and what would I do?
Without You Lord
in my life.
If I hadnt kept searching,
I know I would have gave up,
someone must have been praying,
someone must have cared enough,
to get on their knees to You.
All I can say never stop searching my friend,
and when the door of your heart is knocking,
never be afraid to open it,
someone loves you,
someone cares,
never stop searching
for you will find
the answers you need. But most
important know my friend,
you are always on God's mind.

Psalm of Praise

Psalm of Praise


Father above, there is no one like You,
Each day I wait to hear Your voice,
sometimes it is like many waters,
and sometimes it sweetly whispers to my heart.
I look to You for my daily bread,
for my soul hungers for You,
For Your sweet manna from above.

Sweet spirit I pray, come And fill this hunger,

Only You Lord, can bring joy to this
longing heart,
Only You, can comfort my weary soul.
Praise be to my God,
who hears my cries,
who sweeps down and brings healing
to my wounded soul.
I will praise my Lord,
each day I live, I will do my best
to bring honor and glory to Thy Name.
I wait O Lord for You,
You are my very breath,
may each step I take
drawl me closer to
Thy Precious bleeding side.
Lord let the words I speak,
be what You would have me to say,
let not my heart stray from Your word,
For it is my very life,'
and I cannot live without it.
O Lord, be exalted in my life,

For Your Name is higher than any other.

and give thanks for all Your mighty and wonderful deeds
O how I Love You My Lord,

HE IS MY MIRACLE

HE IS MY MIRACLE

He is my miracle, I have been waiting for,
So long I have waited for a open door,
A chance to begin, all over again.
To see all my dreams come true at last,
He is my miracle, for no one could bring,
true love and happiness and a new song to sing.
For deep in my heart I know,
He is my miracle, Jesus my Lord.

He is my miracle at long last I see
all that I hoped for, and longed to be.
No one could bring such joy to my heart,
comfort and peace of mind.
He is the answer to every problem,
to every question I have.
He is my miracle,
in Him I'll trust and believe.

He is my miracle,
sweet salvation He brings,
with my whole heart His praises I'll sing.
He is my healer, my deliverer,
my hiding place, to Him I can run,
He is my miracle,
In Him I can trust.

He is my miracle,
nothing more could I ask for
on this journey I'm on.
to be by His side, everyday
His hand in mine,
each step of the way.
Jesus You are my miracle,
I have been waiting for.

to You my precious Lord
Here is my heart Lord,
I place it in Your hands,
Have Thine own way Lord,
Take this piece of clay,
Make me into a vessel for Your Glory I pray.
