In His Eyes

In His eyes His grace does shine.

In His eyes His love now mine!

In His eyes gone my crime.
In His eyes across all time.

In His eyes death taken away
In His eyes new life His way.

In His eyes all pain will cease.
In His eyes my life at peace.

In His eyes my tears now gone.
In His eyes my life now strong.

In His eyes I’m now forgiven.
In His eyes life’s now worth living.

In His eyes new joy accrued
In His eyes I’m changed, renewed!

In His eyes His mercy on me!
In His eyes I live now free!

In His eyes my story new.
In His eyes new life, it’s true!

In His eyes His joy all mine!
In His eyes the Son my sign!

A Prayer of Repentance and Dedication

Dear Lord I seek a better life, 
A life that honors thee. 
One more consistent with the aim 
You had in calling me. 

A life of purity and love 
Of purpose and power. 
One based on simple trust in thee 
Each day and every hour. 

For I have wondered far away, 
I have not given all. 
I have not lived like one who’s been, 
Delivered from the fall. 

My zeal to win the lost has waned, 
My time in prayer grown cold. 
Less time is spent in searching for
The Scriptures perfect gold. 

And worst of all I feel so dead 
My heart as hard as stone. 
I would but cannot weep for sin, 
At least not on my own. 

Pour out your Spirit on me Lord, 
Please help me to repent! 
And give me grace to make amends
For so much time misspent.

intercession

I don't have to say a single word
'Cause I know that You know
You know my deepest sorrow, Lord
You know each hurtful blow
And as I kneel before you
To tell you of my needs
I do not need to say a word
Your mercy intercedes

Lord, I know you hear it
Each sad, wordless confession
And with Your Holy spirit
You make intercession
I do not need to say a word
No perfect line or phrase
For I know that You understand
With Your Amazing Grace

As I weep and as I groan
Unable to express
In love and mercy you atone
My unrighteousness
On my knees I cry to You
Without verbal expression
You know better than I do
And You make intercession

Revival

Lord, please send a revival to the U.S. of A.
It's time for all Christians to get on your knees and pray
This country needs your help, Lord, to get back on its feet
Without you in our life we really can't compete
The struggles of this day and age are difficult at best
We need you here to lead us so we can be our best
What once was known as the American dream
Has been turned into the All About Me scheme
Our government no longer works for the people
Their attempts at leadership are at best feeble
God has been removed as the leader of our nation
Stripped away from the core of our very foundation
God has been asked to stay away from our schools
That there's no place for Him where government rules
We're told that we can't be biased toward Christian truths
That we can't be influencing other non believing youths
We're being asked to take Christ out of the Christmas season
It's discrimination toward all who don't believe He's the reason
Filth and immorality are common throughout the land
We the Christians in this country have let things get out of hand
Differences in believers and non are becoming difficult to see
Translation of the Holy Word is not always as it should be
Many churches have become more of a social network
Sometimes in all their activities, God they do shirk
If we continue on this path, this country will end in destruction
It's time for Christians here to do some reconstruction

Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches, apart from Him we are nothing
Please won't you join me and pray to end this nation's suffering?
Pray that the people will hunger for God's Word
And that the voice of the Christian in this nation will be heard!

Be No More Sad

Yes any time or any place, 
We can approach the throne of grace. 
We can unload a world of care, 
And seek the face of God in prayer. 

For everywhere our God is near, 
A word " a whisper " He can hear. 
What’s more our thoughts all rise before, 
The throne of Him whom we adore. 

Nor does our sin forbid access, 
Or hinder God " our souls to bless;
For Christ our righteousness prevails, 
His mediation never fails. 

By faith draw nigh " pour out your soul, 
And all your cares upon Him roll. 
Then rise up saints " no more be sad
For God can make His children glad: 
Yes God has made His children glad.

If It Be God's Will

If we ask in faith

then we must believe
if it be God’s will . . .
our requests we’ll receive.

If we ask in faith,
and put aside our doubt
if it be God’s will . . .
our pleas He’ll carry out.

If we ask in faith,
without any hesitation
if it be God’s will . . .
He’ll bless our supplication.

If we ask in faith,
and not have any distrust
if it be God’s will . . .
our prayers He’ll grant us.

If we ask in faith,
if it be God’s will . . .
then our requests to Him
He will indeed fulfill!

James 1:6

“But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering.
For he that wavereth
is like a wave
of the sea driven
with the wind and tossed.”

Being Saved

Being saved is like being on a plane
Once you're on you can't get off
whether the ride is through turbulence
or is smooth and soft

Being saved is like being on a ship
sailing across the ocean blue
You're not getting off that vessel
until the voyage is through

Being saved is like being on a journey
through a strange land
knowing you'll never make it on your own
only by Jesus holding your hand

Being saved is looking for a better house
and country to live in
the place Jesus is preparing 
for those who've been forgiven of their sin

Being saved is knowing there's a day 
when we'll reach that heavenly shore
and see the beautiful city
that we've been longing for

Hebrews 11:13 

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Hebrews 11:16 
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
