Sunday Praise (297) 5/12/24

Sunday Praise (297) 5/12/24. by me.

What You do is wonderful,
Creation praises You,
Evidence of love plentiful,
No one else will do.

From first days I know
You were with me, Lord,
Mercy daily You show,
Teaching me Your Word.

Your love is unfailing,
Nothing can separate us,
Against all prevailing,
Always with us, my Jesus.

Bless our mothers, Lord,
Strengthen each spirit,
Guide them by Your Word,
Help each one obey it.

Lord of hosts, hear,
Comfort, save, defend,
You are always near,
Your reign’ll never end.

Freely You give us life,
All that we had and have,
Peace replaces strife,
All’s evidence of Your love.

Lord, I know You reign,
It’s You we’ll ever be serving.
Your grace falls like rain
On us who are undeserving.

We will sing a new song
You have put in our heart,
And we follow You along
Giving You our every part.

It’s You we will exalt,
Your name is above all,
We will fear no assault,
Your enemies shall fall.

Let the world shout
Praises to You, God.
No, there’s no doubt,
You deserve all laud.

I will tell of Your mercy
And Your amazing grace
The good in life I see
To Your hand it I trace.

Teach me to do what’s right
And to be where I need to be.
May my life shine like a light,
You’re the one who saved me.

You have saved my soul,
I will bless Your name.
You’ve made me whole,
I will spread Your fame.

You’re clothed in majesty,
You’re the greatest, Almighty,
Forgive sin and travesty,
In You we are made mighty.

It’s a blessing to know
You hear and answer us,
Your mercy You show,
You’re ever with us, Jesus.

I know You are good,
May Your love be seen
When I do what I should,
I’m not where I’ve been.

Lord, You have overcome,
Yes, all Your enemies have lost.
Help us to humbly come
Following You, counting the cost.

Sunday Praise (296) 5/5/24

Sunday Praise (296) 5/5/24. by me.

No one’s greater than You,
No one does what You do,
We’ll give You all the glory,
We don’t need to be sorry.

Your blood washes away
Our sins and shame, Jesus,
And we will not fall away
For You are always with us.

All enemies will face defeat
By Your hand, God glorious,
Sin and Satan end will meet,
For You’re forever victorious.

Will You stop loving? Never.
The dead to life You raise,
Be exalted now and forever,
You are worthy of all praise.

I have not earned
Your amazing mercy.
I have long yearned
Your face to really see.

These days are dear
They’re gifts You give,
So it makes it clear
I should wisely  live.

My heart’s an offering
To You who died for me,
In my joy and suffering
I know You’ll in control be.

O Lord, incline Your ear,
Life with Your mercy fill,
All my prayers You hear
And answer as You will.

My days You’ve lengthened,
I see Your goodness in life.
My soul You’ve strengthened,
Your peace replaces my strife.

Lord, You hear our cries
And Your comfort us.
Our tears Your hand dries,
Good Shepherd, Jesus.

I will tell of Your mercy
And Your great deeds.
Your kindness I daily see
Your Spirit daily leads.

You’re our help in trouble,
We see Your mighty hand,
We’re not left with rubble,
In faith we will daily stand.

You know what is best
For me and everyone else.
You give our souls rest,
Teach to reject what’s false.

Oh, it is good to sing
With a grateful heart,
Praises to You, King,
Giving You every part.

You are reigning now
King of kings, o Holy One.
To You all shall bow,
Lord of lords, already won.

Put into my heart a desire
To trust and to obey You.
Let love burn like a fire,
The right thing I will do.

You wear the crown,
Sovereign Ruler over all.
We will all bow down,
On You we humbly call.

You give us a new song,
We receive it, Almighty,
And we’ll sing all life long
To You for You’re worthy.

Sunday Praise (295) 4/28/24

Sunday Praise (295) 4/28/24. by me.

The day will surely come
When You return, Jesus,
It’s You we will welcome,
To home You will take us.

We want to be nearer
To You, heavenly Father,
To see Your truth clearer,
To worship You we gather.

You are holy, righteous, kind,
You lead us on the narrow road
And You daily renew our mind,
We bring You every heavy load.

Oh, what a friend You are,
Your love is unfailing,
From us You are never far,
Over all evil prevailing.

God, teach us to rejoice,
To give You all the glory,
To listen to Your voice,
You are holy and worthy.

You forgive and restore
Sinners who come to You,
You know what’s in store
For all of us, focus our view.

It’s You we will glorify,
May You be lifted high,
Your name we magnify,
Our deliverance is nigh.

O Lord, Your name is great
So therefore we will give You glory
Whether day is early or late
At Your feet we can leave every worry.

To You I lift up my voice,
An offering of thanksgiving,
Help me to make a choice
That’s pleasing You, my King.

Teach us how to tell
Of Your great deeds, o Lord,
It shall all end well
According to Your holy Word.

Your wrath’ll surely fall
On all those who oppose You,
But such will not befall
Those who are Yours, it’s true.

All our prayers You’ve heard
And answered as You wanted
Strengthen us, Good Shepherd,
When by enemies we’re taunted.

We shall sing joyfully,
Your Holy Spirit welcome.
You’ve led us faithfully
And You’ll bring us Home.

Teach us to fight against sin,
To resist temptation every day.
You’re the reason we can win,
Won’t repeat sins of yesterday.

Your enemies grow violent
So help us to firmly stand.
O Lord, don’t remain silent,
Give us Your helping hand.

You are Lord God Almighty
And You’re our everlasting King.
You make us in You mighty,
Us more like You You’re making.

Out of bondage You have led us
Into liberty and Your great love.
We’re becoming like You, Jesus,
Obeying Your will here as above.

“You will keep drawing me”

4/25/24
Written by: Victor P.

“You will keep drawing me”

You will keep drawing me
Until the day it’s You I see
Face to face, holy Savior,
In Your presence forever.

Remind me You’re here,
Your voice I’ll daily hear,
Captivate, correct, guide,
From You I will not hide.

You’re glorious, Lord,
True to Your word.
