Month: November 2018

You are who you are

You came to be

From thoughts and dreams and memories

The life you’ve lived thus far till now

Has made you who you are somehow

I am me

I was meant to be

My mom and dad had plans for me

The life I’ve lived has paved the way

To make me who I am today

You have your past

And I too have mine

But now our futures will be entwined

Together we will build a life

As man and woman, husband and wife

One plus one most times is two

But in marriage 

That’s not true

When our vows are said and done

You and I will become one

Sweetheart, I love you with all my heart

From this day on

May we never part

I want my life to be filled with you

In marital bliss as one not two

(chorus)

If you don’t know Jesus

You will never know peace

If you don’t know Jesus

You will never know peace

(REPEAT)

(verse 1)

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life

He is the way, we must follow Him

He is the truth, we must believe in Him

He is the light, we must see through Him

He is the life, we must live in Him

(chorus)

(verse 2)

I will give you peace says the Lord of Host

I will give you peace says the Lord of Host

Peace as a river, when we follow Him

Peace with our God, when we believe in Him

Peace…where no peace, when we look to Him

Peace, perfect peace, when we live in Him

(chorus)

Take time to know Him

Take time to show Him

Take time to know Him

And you will know peace

If I had a thousand tongues

How weird would that be

If I had a thousand tongues

How big would my mouth be

If I had a thousand tongues

Would I be able to talk

If I had a thousand tongues

Would I even be able to walk

I understand the concept

Of a thousand tongues to praise

But the picture that it paints for me

Causes my eyebrows to be raised

You do not need a thousand tongues

To give to God your praise

Just use the one He gave you

And let your voice be raised

There is a way to honor God

And let your praises ring

It doesn’t take a thousand tongues

To God the honor you will bring

When you just live your life in Christ

According to His Word

Follow in His footsteps

Your praises will be seen and heard

I

(verse 1)

You created the sun, moon, and stars in the sky

And after all of this, it was You who had to die

To save us from our sins

That we were drowning in

You reached out with your hand

And from it blood had ran

You were the ultimate sacrifice

Through You, we have new life

(chorus)

You are the Lamb

The risen Man

God’s only Son

The Blessed One

Who bore our blame

And gave your Name

To save our souls

From sin and shame

(verse 2)

You are the first, You are the last

The beginning and the end

And it was You and only You

That God would have to send

To win us back to His embrace

The trials of life, You had to face

You shed your blood on Calvary’s tree

And through this deed, You made us free

(chorus)

(verse 3)

Without a blemish, You were so pure

You would become our heaven’s door

You made the way for us to see

That we could have the victory

You freely gave your life for me

I give You praise on bended knee

Your are my Saviour, my very own

And where You are will be my home

(chorus)

(stanza)

Count it all joy, when your friends all forsake you

Count it all joy, when you stumble and fall

Count it all joy, when the world tries to break you

Count it all joy, in spite of it all

(stanza)

Count it all joy, when your burdens seam heavy

Count it all joy, when you can’t see your way

Count it all joy, when darkness surrounds you

Count it all joy, in spite of it all

(chorus)

For God”s still on the throne

And you are not alone

When things aren’t going right

Let Jesus be your light

On Him you can depend

He’ll be with you to the end

He will help you to stand tall

In spite of it all

(stanza)

Count it all joy, when your different from others

Count it all joy, when your back’s ‘gainst the wall

Count it all joy, you’ve no sisters or brothers

Count it all joy, in spite of it all

(stanza)

Count it all joy, you can speak to the mountain

Count it all joy, when it moves out your way

Count it all joy, when you drink from the fountain

Count it all joy, Jesus still lives today

(chorus)

(stanza)

Count it all joy, God is your Holy Father

Count it all joy, He won’t lead you astray

Count it all joy, all your worries and bothers

Count it all joy, He will take them away

(stanza)

Count it all joy, praise God the Father

Count it all joy, praise Christ His Son

Count it all joy, we have hope for tomorrow

Count it all joy, God is still number one

(chorus)

(fade out)

Count it all joy, praise God the Father

Count it all joy, praise His heavenly Son

Count it all joy, let us sing hallelujah

Count it all joy, in spite of it all

(chorus)

Ooh ooh Jesus

You are my rock and shield

( repeat 4 times)

(verse 1)

You are my rock Lord,

          You are my solid ground

You are my strength Lord,

          You are the hope I’ve found

You are my way Lord,

          You lead me with your light

You are my eyes Lord,

          I keep you in my sight

(verse 2)

You are my shield Lord,

          You keep me safe from harm

You are my guide Lord,

          You lead me by the arm

You are my pathway,

          You are the one right road

You are my helper,

          You help me bear my load

(verse 3)

You are my Saviour,

          You wash away my sins

You are my swordsman,

          All battles You will win

You are my comfort,

          You dry up all my tears

You are my courage,

          I have no need to fear

The world is in a downward spiral

Sin abounds and has gone viral

People shooting and stabbing each other

Kids shot down in front of their mothers

BUT GOD…

Hello neighbor, can you spare a dime

“Get out my way, stop wasting my time”

Ragged old man, no place to call home

In a room full of Christians, he still feels alone

BUT GOD…

Doctor comes in with the results of the test

No good news, they’ve done their best

Just lost my job and the rent is past due

Four children to feed with food just for two

BUT GOD…

Single mom raising a child in the hood

He joined a gang, she’s done all that she could

Homeless child living out on the street

Begging for food, no shoes on his feet

BUT GOD…

With all of life’s ups and downs

In’s and outs, smiles and frowns

Trying to live by your own means and strength

To achieve success you’ll go to what lengths

BUT GOD…

BUT, the negating conjunction

What’s said before it, is made null and void

When circumstances are getting you down

Invite God into your life, and it will rebound

YES GOD !!!
