THE SON IS RISING

The Son is rising above the clouds

The night is turning into day

The fog is lifting from my eyes

The colors I see now

Are no longer grey.

My mind travels back

To a time long ago

When the Bible was believed

When we read that you reap what you sow.

It seems we all take for granted

The words of our King

For when we follow our own will

His Words don't mean a thing.

CHORUS:

I speak the truth

That He laid on my heart

Conviction weighs heavy

When I too take part

In gossip and judgement

That is not mine to give

So I surrender my will

Because I do want to live

And be pleasing in His sight

So I will try with all my might

To honor and obey the one true God above

I won't let anything come between me

And Him that I love.

The Lord giveth

And He taketh away

When He sent His Son Jesus

He knew that He could not stay

The gift that He gave us

Had to die on the Cross

Showing how much He loved us

No matter the cost.

CHORUS:

I speak the truth

That He laid on my heart

Conviction weighs heavy

When I too take part

In gossip and judgement

That is not mine to give

So I surrender my will

Because I do want to live

And be pleasing in His sight

So I will try with all my might

To honor and obey the one true God above

I won't let anything come between me

And Him that I love.

The Lord giveth and He taketh away

When He sent His Son Jesus

He knew that He could not stay.

I won't let anything come between me

And Him that I love.

How can we say we are Christians

If we don't reach out to others

We’re His Ambassadors

Psalms 40:1-3
I waited patiently for God to help me; then He listened and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out from the bog and the mire, and set my feet on a hard, firm path and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, of praises to our God. Now many will hear of the glorious things He did for me, and stand in awe before the Lord, and put their trust in Him.

WE WERE MEANT TO FLY

Podcast Powered By Podbean

Chorus:
Do you want to scratch with the chickens
In the chicken coop of life
Or would you rather soar with the Eagles
High up in the sky
Will you end up the chicken
in the chicken stew
That's not the life that was meant
for me and you
We were meant to fly .. fly .. fly
We were meant to fly.

Verse:
Spread out your wings
Take a running start
Flying's so much fun and all part
Of the plan He has for you
Don't be afraid
Take a leap of Faith
Let His current, lift you
And assist you in the race.

Chorus:
Do you want to scratch with the chickens
In the chicken coop of life
Or would you rather soar with the Eagles
High up in the sky
Will you end up the chicken
in the chicken stew
That's not the life that was meant
for me and you
We were meant to fly .. fly .. fly
We were meant to fly.

Verse:
When you come back to earth
Do you feel a change
Is gravity holding you down
Take a deep breath
And let His joy fill your heart
Keep your eyes on the horizon
And embrace this brand new start.

Chorus:
Do you want to scratch with the chickens
In the chicken coop of life
Or would you rather soar with the Eagles
High up in the sky
Will you end up the chicken
in the chicken stew
That's not the life that was meant
for you and me
We were meant to fly .. fly .. fly
We were meant to fly!

Isaiah 40:31
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

O' LORD

Podcast Powered By Podbean

O' Lord, have I left You

Out of my life today

Did I not say good morning

Or even knelt to pray.

Did I think that I could make it through

All this stress and strife

Without You beside me ... in my life.

O' Lord, I need to call You

When I don't know what to do.

When there's things that I can't figure out

And need guidance from You.

Please touch my heart

Then take my hand

And lead me to the truth

O' Lord, I can always count on You.

There's one more thing I ask of You

Please forgive me all my sins

Even though I was cleansed as white as snow

From Your blood .. to my spirit deep within

Walk beside me, making each step count

For Your Glory and all good

O' Lord, I want to live the way I should.

Walk beside me, making each step count

For Your Glory and all good

O' Lord come down, abide in me

I know I'll live the way I should.

Psalm 30:12
"To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever."

IT HURT SO MUCH TO SAY GOODBYE

Podcast Powered By Podbean

Chorus:

If you had grieved for me

The way I grieve for you now

It was the best thing

That you wasn't left behind

The pain has eased as time goes by

That doesn't mean I never cry

My heart was shattered ..

It hurt so much

To say goodbye.

Verse:

I know the Lord was in control

Through all the trials we had to face

I prayed so many times

That I could take your place

The day He came to take you home

All I could do .. was weep .. and moan

Now I'm just waiting ..

Til we see each other

On the other side

Chorus:

If you had grieved for me

The way I grieve for you now

It was the best thing

That you wasn't left behind

The pain has eased as time goes by

That doesn't mean I never cry

My heart was shattered

It hurt so much

to say goodbye.

Repeat Chorus:

If you had grieved for me

The way I grieve for you now

It was the best thing

That you wasn't left behind

The pain has eased as time goes by

That doesn't mean I never cry

My heart was shattered

It hurt so much

To say goodbye.

The pain has eased as time goes by

That doesn't mean I never cry

My heart was shattered

The day you said

Goodbye ..

Goodbye!

In Memory and Honor of my late husband

(I love you Baby!)

Three things will last forever - faith, hope and love - and the greatest of these is love.
