Sunday Praise (169) 11/28/21

Sunday Praise (169) 11/28/21. by me.

Every day’s a good one
To give You thanks, Lord,
You deserve the best,
You’re forever blessed.

What can be said to You
That wasn’t said already?
Sincerely hearts worship
You in spirit and in truth.

I will praise You, Abba,
I’ll trust, obey, and love
As long as I am alive
And then forevermore.

Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Weak are made strong,
Poor are made rich
Because of Your deeds.

For love we praise You,
For mercy we honor You,
For salvation we glorify You,
All thanks be to You, Lord.

May all praise be to You,
All-good heavenly Father,
Hallelujah, honor and glory
To You, Almighty most holy.

I’m thankful to You
For all that You do,
How great You are,
How holy and good!

My soul longs for You
Like the thirsty for water
For You are my all in all,
You’re my joy and song.

God of my strength
In whom I do trust
For You are worthy
Of honor and glory.

God, what I have seen
And what I’ve heard
Was definite proof
You’re living and true.

Many good words of thanks
Fill my heart by Your Spirit,
My mouth is filled, I’m ready,
My lips open to praise You.

How many times You’ve been
A quicker help than anyone else.
Oh, how many times I’ve seen
What only You could do, Jesus.

With our lifted hands
And with joyful voices
We’re called to praise You,
Abba, heavenly Father.

You’re mighty and majestic,
You’re worthy to be glorified
By all people and all nations,
You’re living and true, Lord.

How foolish and blind are all
Who only care about surviving.
We are made to glorify You
And to enjoy You forever, God.

You call the earth each day
To praise and fear You,
To worship and obey,
To trust and love You.

When I sin, fall, stumble,
You sustain me, forgive me,
I know Your voice and follow
On the narrow road every day.

Lord, I know Your mercy
Is ever with me, hallelujah.
What an honor, to be known
By You, Holy One, Almighty.

Ever the reminder sounds …

Ever the reminder sounds
As the world still spins
In desperate need of God;
Ever the message is repeated:
Jesus Christ is our only hope,
For every sinner already condemned
There’s forgiveness and new life.
Every lost and restless heart,
In Him find rest for your soul.

Sunday Praise (168) 11/21/21

Sunday Praise (168) 11/21/21. by me.

For everything You’ve done,
For everything You’re doing,
For everything You will do,
I thank You, God Almighty.

If every week passed by so quickly
Then we would reach our end
Before we even realized it,
But what will we have done with it?

I hear birds in nearby trees
Lift up their voices to praise
The One who created them,
You, God Almighty, no other.

We come for now’s the time
To lift up our voices and hearts
To praise Your holy name, Jesus,
To give You thanks for everything.

It’s a good thing to praise You
And to sing to Your name
For You’ve rejoiced my soul
And You’ve made me whole.

For love You show, Lord
For mercy none deserve,
For salvation through Christ,
I thank You, heavenly Father.

When peace like a river comes
I can say it is well with my soul
For You are with me always
And I don’t need to be afraid.

I will put my trust in You
So I will not be ashamed,
I am Yours forevermore,
You’re my life and my joy.

Blessed is the person
Whose sins You forgive,
One whom You cleanse
From unrighteousness.

The just will rejoice in You
For You are our salvation,
You’re our righteouness,
King, Lord, Savior, Jesus.

Help me to bless You
In all circumstances,
To continually have praise
On my lips to bring You.

Lord, rise up to help us
For You are a Man of war,
The battle belongs to You
And Yours is the victory.

How foolish are the wicked,
How wrong are the deceived!
All are guilty, without excuse,
Condemned unless born again.

Teach me to hate the evil
And to hold on to the good,
To keep truth in the heart
And speak it when I should.

When I sin is when my peace
Departs from me so quickly,
Until I confess and repent I know
I’ll be guilty, restless, miserable.

What am I to wait for?
I need You most of all.
Help me to walk daily
In Your ways, Almighty.

I greatly trusted in You,
You’ve never failed me
Though I’ve failed You
So many times before.

Lord, You have mercy on me
For I am ever in need of it.
Pour down Your grace like rain,
Christ, You are my greatest gain.

“In Heavens Many Clouds Flow”

10/30/21
Written by: Victor P.

“In Heavens Many Clouds Flow”

In heavens many clouds flow
And many like a grey pillow,
Pulled as if by strings of air
Forms fascinating and fair.

Between the blue and green
What is more often here seen?
Recurring with the season’s change
Yet too far from reach, out of range.

So blue is the canvas in the day
Receiving passing clouds.
God’s work, as it did yesterday
Creation praises, applauds.

Paint a picture of this truth
To all people applicable:
Can’t save self, there’s proof
That not even one is able.

Longing of a soul
To be truly whole,
Waiting for redemption,
Undeniable completion.

Sunday Praise (167) 11/14/21

Sunday Praise (167) 11/14/21. by me.

A new day, a new beginning,
Gift of life from Your hand.
Almighty, hearts are singing
To You alone in every land.

The heart grows heavy
So burdened with cares;
Bring us into Your presence,
We’ll lay our troubles down.

Whatever the new week holds
I know You hold it in Your hands;
Nothing is out of Your control,
You are Sovereign, You are God.

A troubling dream leads me
To pray for the one seen in it.
Does it mean something or not?
You know the reason for it, God.

You’re my firm foundation,
The cornerstone of my life,
In You alone my hope is found,
No other can be in first place.

Oh, how blessed I am
To be Your child, Abba,
Jesus, I’m saved by You
And You’re awaiting me.

I want to be nearer to You,
With every new day You give
Help me to use time wisely,
To do all for Your glory, Lord.

Hear, my Father in Heaven,
The desire of my very soul,
To be more like You, Christ,
To trust and obey You more.

I come to You once again,
In Your presence I find
Rest for my soul, Redeemer,
I thank You for Your great love.

When emptiness comes
My spirit weary becomes,
More grateful I want to be
Whatever happens to me.

To rejoice without measure
In Your salvation, Jesus,
To hold You as a treasure,
May it be our daily focus.

If the feeling comes on me
Like You have left me alone,
Remind me, Abba, Father,
You are with me always.

You’re the Good Shepherd,
I’m a sheep in Your flock
I dwell in Your pastures,
I will lack no thing, Provider.

You are the King of glory,
Without rival, without equal,
All must bow down and confess
You are Lord, Jesus, hallelujah.

I lift up my soul to You,
May I not be ashamed
To lift up Your name
Above all other names.

You test me in the furnace
And remove the impurities,
You make me into an instrument
Of righteousness for Your sake.

Strengthen my heart, Lord,
And lead me on the road
That is narrow and strait
Avoiding the broad and wide.

You’re my strength and refuge,
Shelter in the storms of life,
Age to age You are unchanging,
Lord, You are worthy of all glory.

Your children will rise up
To give You honor and glory;
Abba, they will worship You
Because only You are worthy.

No, I will not be overcome
By my enemies and Yours.
Greater are You, my King,
Than anyone and anything.

Someone said …

Someone said you’re useless? They lied.
Someone said you’re worthless? They lied.
Someone said you’re beyond saving? They lied.
Someone said you’re unlovable? They lied.
Someone said you’re too messed-up to change? They lied.
God loves you. Jesus died for you. Come to Him now.

Sunday Praise (166) 11/7/21

Sunday Praise (166) 11/7/21. by me.

A new breath, a new day,
Everything from Your hand,
Every life is before You, Lord,
You are Maker and Provider.

It’s Your mercy, Almighty,
What a wonder we’re given
More than we all deserve,
Praise be to You for it all.

On that hill far away
So many years go
You bled and died
For sinners, Jesus.

Your grace, o Lord, amazes
So many people even today,
In adoration and worship
Countless souls glorify You.

I lay down at Your feet
What is dearest to me
I see that’s not a defeat;
That is indeed a victory.

Help us to remember daily
You are with us everywhere,
Our Savior and Redeemer,
Our strength and victory.

We were made to worship
You who created us all,
To exalt Your holy name
Above all other names.

I will praise You, Jesus,
With my whole heart,
I will give You all the glory,
Only You are worthy of it.

You’re our sure foundation,
Victorious against everyone
Who dares oppose Your rule,
King of kings, Lord of lords.

Those who feign devotion
Will be exposed in time,
Their service is fiction,
Lord, You will not accept.

The farther down I fall
The lower Your hand reaches,
I know You can catch me,
I’m never out of Your reach.

How foolish it really is
To not believe in You, Lord,
To remain in rebellion
Against You, God Almighty.

Teach me to speak the truth
Especially when it’s not easy
Open my heart to receive
Words of correction humbly.

Protect me, heavenly Father,
Help me to go even farther
Than I have on this narrow road,
You will help me carry the load.

You hear the cries of my soul,
You alone can make me whole,
From sincere heart receive
My needs and thanks, Abba.

When You hear and answer
In my time of greatest need,
I rejoice in You the more, Lord,
How good and loving You are.

All the works of Your hands
Declare how great You are,
You make all that’s beautiful,
It all points to You, Creator.
