Hands Down

He created the universe with His own hand,
And now in Christ through salvation stand.
I have been fashioned by His design,
And my life in Him I resign.


He took nails into His hands on the tree,
And through His sacrifice, I am now free.
My eyes were once darkened by sin,
And with His hands He uncovered them.


He drew the waters from out of the deep,
He guided Noah, and his family did safely keep.
With His hands He guided the ark,
And with a rainbow across the sky made His mark.


Hands down, He accomplished a wondrous thing,
And that is why we, His people, His praises sing. 
With His hands He embraces my heart,
And He cares for every part.

Enough

When is enough, enough?
You claim life is rough,
There was no one to turn to,
I have been there with you.


I keep calling out to you,
I know all that you have been through,
Let Me pull you out of the darkness,
And tell you about sin's forgiveness.


The world is not your friend,
Do you want to find that out in the end?
I spilled My blood upon the tree,
My salvation is simple and free.

Enough is enough, and this is My plea:
I am the Truth and I will set you free.
Cast away your sins and I will make you clean,
This offer stands as it always has been.

Faith and Following

Our footsteps in His light,
Keeps our steps aright.
Your glory is ever present,
And Your laws are pleasant.


I trust in what You have spoken,
And You healed my heart when it was broken.
All You asked from me is that I obey,
And You will guide me in the right way.

Happiness is in You, my Lord,
And following Thy Law is my reward.
For obedience is hard I find,
But I seek You in my heart and in my mind.

Caring for the Innocent

You knew me before my life's start,
And You fashioned me in the hidden part.*
My plans are by You led,
For You are the keeper of my head.


Many have not seen the light of day,
But You have cared for them anyway.
Your plans for us are good,
And follow these we should.


Take not for granted this life you live,
Because it is in the power of God to give.
For those that were not given a choice,
Let us be their loudly speaking voice.

*- Psalm 139:13

Love?

What is Love? I asked my dad,
It is giving everything I had,
For the love I speak is more than a word,
It is love unconditional, from what I have heard.


Love has suffered much and never was altered,
Love is not selfish, and gives itself unaltered.
Love takes up the burden when overtaken,
Love believes when our beliefs are shaken.

The love that I know has never failed,
That fellowship restored in the temple unveiled.
When prophecies are unknown,
It will be shown, when we are known as we are known.

Looking into the mirror, I see this fleshly shell,
And I know that without God's love, my end is Hell.
I was child and unable to understand,
The truth about Christ's love that He has planned.

Courage of Our Fathers

Abraham gave all he had even his only son,
To show the way of an even greater One.
The faith he had was small,
But it would set example for us all.

Joseph was soon to be joined to his wife,
And he was soon to experience the greatest joy in his life.
God let him know what was to be done,
He and Mary were to welcome God's Son.

Jesus had the courage to go the cross,
And many thought that it would be to His loss.
He continued up that hill to take away our sin,
This sacrifice was made for all men.

Our fathers fought to keep the land free,
And to protect our family's tree.
It took courage when none was left,
Through it all, none were bereft.


Our Heavenly Father intended the best,
If He is our choice, then He will do the rest.
Ask for the courage, today, and He will provide,
Because it is in you that your family does confide.

Created

Words spoken and the worlds came to be,
And when it came time, You created me.
And when I was born, in sin I was torn,
You saw my need, and in You, I was reborn.


Words You spoke and in Your Word I have read,
There is more to life than man has said.
Words of Life I have found and I take hold,
My salvation is in the blood of Christ I'm told.


Words of truth are rooted in my soul,
And Your Spirit in my life has taken control.
Created for Your purpose and that alone,
To spread Your Word and make Your glory known.


Words so absolute and true and undisputed,
These in my soul's soil can not be uprooted.
Reading and praying, I hear Your voice,
And know that You are my life's choice.
