Stand-alone Stanzas

Dry eyes often mask the pain inside,
The shame and stain of sin,
The hurt we so often try to hide,
The battle we find so hard to win.


Life and creation,
Exhibit Christ’s glory,
His life on this earth,
Was the Father’s love story.


Christ’s birth showed us heaven’s door
His crucifixion provided the key
His resurrection opened wide heaven’s gates
For lost sinners like you and me


I stand in awe,
And kneel in wonder,
At the Lord of lightning,
And the God of thunder.

Charting the Course

We chart the course of our destiny
By setting our sights above,
Walking with God in humility
And with our fellow man in love,
For our vessels are weak and the storms often fierce
That threaten to shipwreck our soul,
And gale force winds of trouble and pain
Often batter and take their toll,
But keeping our eyes on the Bright Morning Star
The voyage grows clearer each day,
For He guides us to heaven’s beautiful shore
Calming storms that we face on the way,
And when we reach the heavenly port
And Christ calls us, “Beloved, enter in!”
How to thank the Captain of our souls enough,
We won’t even know where to begin!

Friend or foe?

The enemy plots to control the minds,
And hearts and souls of men,
To tell them what to say and do,
And why and where and when.

But we all have the will and ability,
To make the one truly great choice,
To follow Jesus as Savior and Lord,
And not heed the enemy’s voice.

For you can choose your allegiance
You can follow the Friend or the foe,
one wants your death and destruction,
One loves you and wants to make whole.

Lord Please

Lord please make my life a sweet song,
That You would be pleased to sing,
A harmony and a melody,
That is fit for the Kings of kings,
Lord may you be pleased to rejoice over me,
With a song only you and I know,
May my life be a hymn of worship to You,
In tune with the grace You bestow,
And when the final note is sung out,
On this shadow world down here below
I’m so glad I will have all eternity,
To find new ways to praise and extol!

To And Through

By the precious blood of the spotless Lamb
We’ve been place on a glorious path,
One that’s good, true and righteous
We’ve been saved from Almighty God’s wrath,
For Christ dealt with our great problem
On the cross He took our guilt and sin,
And offers abundant grace and peace
To all who come to and through Him.

And So Much More

Captain, King, Commander,
Prophet and Holy High Priest,
Ruler of both rich and poor,
From the greatest to the least,
Alpha, Omega, First and Last
The Word and the Great I AM,
Prince of Peace and Mighty God,
Judah’s Lion and God’s sinless Lamb.

A Block Or Two Away

We don’t need to go across the world
Just a block or two away,
To share the love of Jesus Christ
With lost souls gone astray,
For Jesus came to seek and save
Our neighbors across the street,
And calls us to be the light of the world
To each man, woman, child we meet.
