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. 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.

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.

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

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.

We receive it, Almighty,
And we’ll sing all life long
To You for You’re worthy.

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”

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.

Your Holy Spirit is here,
You are not far away,
You are to us most dear,
We’ll walk on Your way.

You shine in us
And through us daily.
Be exalted, Jesus,
You’re just and holy.

We can come to You
At any time, our Father,
The faithful all want to
In Your presence gather.

Your name is the highest;
We’ll praise You more.
Yes, You are the greatest
Now and forevermore.

Let me hear Your voice,
I will not go back to yesterday.
Help me make a choice
To follow You every single day.

All glory to You, risen Holy One,
You reign even now as King.
Against Your enemies You won,
You give us life everlasting.

Guard me from the lies,
Keep me on Your way,
To all Your truth applies,
Let me not fall away.

To You glory belongs,
You are most holy!
For You my soul longs,
To be Yours wholly.

Thank You for blessings,
For Your amazing grace,
To You my soul ever sings
For You’re in every place.

O Lord, shine Your light
On us all as we pray,
You’re our soul’s delight;
May we not go astray!

Arise, o God of armies,
On You we’re in dependence.
Bring down all enemies,
Call sinners to repentance

You’re the one who saves
Sinners here of every kind,
They’re no longer slaves,
Given new heart and mind.

Those who want to see
Your faithful children fall
May they disappointed be,
You answer when we call.

You’re strong and mighty,
I won’t be ashamed here
To know You, Almighty,
Speak and I shall hear.

I know You can take
Away what is evil and wrong.
I know You can make
Me like Christ, in You strong.

Lord, You are good
Of Your wonders we’ll tell,
That we never could
Save ourselves from Hell.

Father, You will not reject us
And we are never alone.
You’re always with us, Jesus,
Removed heart of stone.

Sunday Praise (293) 4/14/24

Sunday Praise (293) 4/14/24. by me.

You have forgiven us
And gave everlasting life.
Thank You, Lord Jesus,
Your peace replaces strife.

We need one another
In the body of Christ.
Help sister and brother
To ever keep You first.

In You we believe
Your name we magnify,
Our pain You relieve,
You we will daily glorify.

The journey is hard
But You’re with us,
Our souls You guard,
Be glorified, Jesus.

We will praise You, Holy One,
And tell of Your love, goodness.
Greatest victory You’ve won,
Teach us to speak with boldness.

Almighty, help us to not cease
To speak Your word boldly,
To share the Gospel of peace
To not chase what’s worldly.

You alone are good,
Righteous, kind, mighty. 
Oh that we all would
Worship You, Almighty.

You judge, You save,
There’s no one like You,
A new life You gave
And a new point of view.

Scatter the evil fools
Who fight against righteousness,
They’re the devil’s tools,
Instruments of unrighteousness.

Oh, I see many enemies rise
In opposition to Your Word.
You are not taken by surprise,
You’ll overcome them, Lord.

Jesus, You will yet save
More sinners from Hell,
More than one sin’s slave
Of deliverance shall tell.

God, bring low Your opposition,
Remind them they’re mortal,
They are in a perilous position,
They’re on a road that’s fatal.

You’re my strong Defender,
Shelter, refuge, strong tower.
Silence the foolish offender,
Yes, arise in power in this hour.

Lead us back to Yourself
If we foolishly go astray
Chasing highs and wealth,
Bring us home, we pray.

You are the one I trust,
You’ve proven faithful,
I will follow You, I must,
You’re most wonderful.

You’re the hope of every nation,
There’s no other Savior, amen.
You are the source of salvation,
Mediator between God and man.

It’s You I will seek,
Your ways I will follow,
I’ll learn to be meek
Words won’t be hollow.

Sunday Praise (292) 4/7/24. by me.

God, how wonderful to know
You are who You say You are,
Your mercy You daily show,
From us You’re never too far.

You’ve prepared for us
A place where forever we’ll be
In Your presence, Jesus,
That day I just can’t wait to see.

There’s a longing to be nearer
To You, my heavenly Father.
It’s slowly becoming clearer
Why we must faithfully gather.

Someday we will see You,
We will meet face to face,
We are patiently waiting to
In the most beautiful place.

I know You are here,
I don’t have to be afraid,
My prayers You hear,
For Your glory I’m made.

May You be magnified
For You worthy, Lord.
May You be glorified,
Faithful to Your word.

God, Your name is wonderful,
Days with grace You fill
I walk into new days hopeful
And by Your mercy I will.

God, help me to be ready
When the enemy attacks.
Keep me holding steady,
Your grace never lacks.

God, for You my soul longs,
I want to daily worship You,
To You my spirit belongs,
Help me Your will to do.

God, all Your ways are good,
You always do what is right,
By the faithful understood
Is Your Word, shining bright.

Your enemies shall fall,
You are victorious, Holy One,
The faithful on You call,
The war of ages You’ve won.

King of kings and Lord of lords,
You reign over all in every age.
Living and active are Your words
And Your truth is on every page.

You know what we need
Even before we ask You,
To our ruin You won’t lead,
What’s right’s what You do.

King of Israel, Messiah,
Glory to You in the highest,
We’re singing hallelujah
You’re the greatest, the best.

For Your glory You did create
What we see and what we can’t,
You are alive, true, holy, great,
Won’t deny, reject, won’t recant.

You have ransomed us
From the enemy, Holy One,
All glory to You, Jesus,
Us for Yourself You’ve won.

You call all sinners to repent,
You are still changing lives,
The saved is on You dependent,
Is blessed by You and thrives.

When we sin, help us to confess,
To repent and forsake them.
Faithfully Your name to profess,
Us no enemy can condemn.

We see the wicked trying
To silence Your children,
Our tears You are drying,
You our spirits embolden.

But Christ is …

Some choose to go the way that leads to confusion & destruction, but Christ’s the Way to God, liberty, purpose.
Some want to live a lie, but Christ’s the Truth that sets sinners free indeed.
Some choose sin & death, but Christ’s the Resurrection & the Life, making all things new.

Sunday Praise (291) 3/31/24. by me.

I will lift up Your name
Higher than every other,
We’ll spread Your fame,
You’re most holy, Father.

You are the Deathless Conqueror,
You deserve all honor and glory,
There will never be anyone greater
O Lord, all of history is Your story.

Your will be done, Your Kingdom come
Now and always, even forevermore.
The kingdom of darkness is overcome,
You’re victorious, we’ll praise You more.

Glorious risen Christ, we worship
You who overcame all enemies,
Lead us through joy and hardship,
And silence all the blasphemies.

Jesus, You were crucified,
Now resurrected, life restored,
And now You’re glorified,
Forever worshiped and adored.

Purge out every evil thing
From my mind and heart.
Lord, I know that nothing
From You can tear apart.

I shall not feel shame
To daily follow You,
To profess Your name,
What’s right, I’ll do.

Blessed are the forgiven,
Washed by Christ’s blood,
A new life they are given,
By Your grace, holy God.

Help us to rejoice
In You, o Holy One,
To lift up our voice
See Your will done.

We know we could
Learn to trust You more,
Do what we should,
Love more than before.

Some may foolishly suppose
They can escape judgment
But You those who oppose
To confess sins, to repent.

They’re fools who don’t fear
You who is holy, living, and true,
Who say that You can’t hear
What they say, see what they do.

Only You are flawless,
You’re above all, Jesus,
Bring low the lawless
And have mercy on us.

May sinners learn to fear
You who is holy and just,
For Your judgment’s near
You’ll do what You must.

I know You are able
To tame my tongue,
You make me stable,
I’ll sing a new song.

God, my spirit You renew
And You teach me Your ways.
Fresh like morning dew
Your Spirit’s with me always.

Our prayers to You rise:
Bring an end to the strife,
Prince of peace, arise,
Be the strength of our life.
