Is God Enough?
Father, don’t you hear my prayers? I praise and glorify your name But you don’t seem to care my cares Father, don’t you see my deeds? I humble myself for you But you don’t seem to need my needs I told you I would die for you Aren’t my words enough? Why must you take good things from me? Why must this life be so rough? Why do you continue to test me â?? Isn’t my devotion clear? What must I do; what must I say So I know that you can hear? Father, won’t you feel my love? I give you all I am I’ve set my heart on…

Turn Away
Time after time we slip away We do our best yet fail the test Every single day We fight so hard to do it right We get back up but fall back down Why do we even try? Year after year we crumble away Like a stone that shatters the bone Or cancer that feeds We give up hope of victory We scorn those who’ve led us to fail And it multiplies our pain. Turn away from it all And say you’re sorry Recognize the error of your ways Turn away from the past And promise not to return Trust and obey; do not run away And He’ll be with…

Shine the Light
Matthew 5:14-16, 2 Corinthians 4:6-12 Let your light shine on the world Lift it high up in the air For all to see Let your lamp burn in the night And you will see How many will draw near to the flame Many more will run from its heat Some will come close and be Scorched by the fire But never bow in defeat Shine, shine the light His glory will keep it bright He is the Truth and the Way We need to trust and obey And let His glory shine Let your light light up the darkness Bring it out from beneath the bowl So all can see…

Riches
Matthew 6:19-24, Psalm 39:11, Psalm 49:10, Psalm 16:5-6, Luke 12:16-21 Fix your eyes on things of Heaven Not on treasures of the earth Set your sights on things eternal Not on those of passing worth For the moths will come And the rust, it will destroy And the thieves will come and take it all away Store up the everlasting And the blessings they will flow He will keep His promise to you Keep His words and you will know What it means to be A rich and wealthy man The life of whom will never see decay And the riches of His love rain down from Heaven The river…

Looking Back
Numbers 11:18-20 Out of slavery; into the desert Out of bondage; into Life We need only walk the path He leads But sometimes it seems too much Where are we going, Lord? Where are you leading us to? How much longer until we’re there? When will we be through? This road is rocky, this way is hard There must be an easier way Maybe it’s not too late to return To that place from where we came You promised us a special place That we could call our own And be with you forever and ever Please bring your people home We’re happy that you’ve rescued us We’re thankful for…

I Live for God
Romans 14:7-8 I live for God Now and every day My life is a blessing I just can’t repay Don’t you see it on my face? Can’t you see it in my eyes? Don’t you hear it on my lips? His light I will not hide I live for God It wasn’t always so I used to live for me Not so long ago I knew what I wanted He knows what I need To have a life worth living I must follow His lead My life is a mist That fades with the dawn Through Him I have purpose Hope to carry on His ways are simple Though I…

A Cord of Three
Ecclesiastes 4:12 As I walk down the path of righteousness I see you walking there With both arms holding onto Him Letting go – you do not dare But I see myself on His other side Holding on as well Asking if I can have this chance To hold you for just a spell So I let go with one arm, and draw you close to me You let go with yours, and now we’re one, you see Between us winds the wonderful part The part that makes us strong The part that makes us free The tighter we hold Him the stronger we’ll be Can’t break this cord of…

Best Friends
Time has passed But I think of you every single day — Of your love for me My friend you’ll be For eternity The world turns So I pray for you each and every day — For joy and peace And love at least ‘Til the wedding feast We’d never met But you loved me more Than any ever had — You cared for my soul You were strong, You were bold And made sure The Truth was told The days go by And I talk about you every day — Of the love you shared And how much you cared My soul lays bare The Time will come When…

Give Thanks to the Lord
Give thanks to the Lord, Rejoice in His name. Blessed was the earth The day that He came. To save and protect us, He died on that day To bring us salvation And wash sins away. Our Savior is He And Champion o’er death; Proclaim His great name With every new breath! He suffered and died Then He rose up above; Let’s sing of His glory And tell of His love. Give thanks to the Lord; For us, He did die; And with Him our sins, Sing His name on high! He rose in great glory May all the world hear Of God and the story That’s told loud and…

I’ve Been Called
Matthew 28:18-20 The path lay straight My eyes are fixed on the road ahead But at my feet Lay the bones of those who have gone before It seems so clear The steps that I’ve been called to take But who can know What it’s like to walk in my shoes? But I’ve been called to make a difference Called to lead the way To dig beneath the surface of the smiles To find the hearts that have decayed To bring them hope and promise Of a love that never ends And the truth about a man whose blood Washes away our sins It’s plain to see What so many…
