You Are My All

When I felt really torn, not sure of what I needed,

To the right and left I turned,

And yet I never found it.

Then I heard a still small voice, saying,

"Come, I have what you need."

So then I struggled, and made the choice

To follow You, wherever You would lead,

So now...

When I don't know what to do,

I will turn to You.

You're the answer I'm looking for,

You are my Lord.

And when I don't know where to turn,

I still know what I've learned,

That You are my strength, my comfort,

My song,

You are my all...

Your Heart's Cry - Lyrics

Verse 1:
Do you feel a chill in your heart, at the sound of a coming storm?
Do you feel a chill in your heart, when the day is all done?
When you look at your life, is there something not right?
You just need to let go, and let Jesus know
That you don’t want your heart to be cold,
And you just want to be made whole.
Through Jesus there is hope,
That you can keep your hold.

Verse 2:
Are you smiling on the outside, looking happy in other’s sight?
But you’re really aching inside, and you don’t feel all right?
Do you want something deep, something real you can keep?
You don’t know where to turn, but through Jesus you will learn
That you don’t have to feel so alone;
Let your heart be your Saviour’s home.
He will lead you everyday,
Walking with you all the way.

Verse 3:
Do you feel a need to pray, and let God open your heart?
But you don’t think you have time today, and you don’t know where to start?
Jesus is always there, He will answer your prayer.
Since He cared enough to die, He’s alive, and now by your side.
So you just need to pause where you are,
And let Jesus shine in your heart.
When you honestly pray,
He will lead you through the day.

Verse 4:
Do you hear your heart’s cry that you need to be freed from sin?
You need all of self to die, so Christ can live within.
He’ll renew your mind, and enlighten your life.
You do not need to fear because Jesus is near.
In His love, you can be assured:
By His grace, you will endure,
In Jehovah’s strength to stand, Till you reach the Promised Land.

You're Still the One - Lyrics

Verse 1:
I’ve seen some things, I’ve lived and learned, and now I know just where to turn.
When I don’t understand how to think or feel, You are the One who’s always real.
You’re always here, You’ll never change, from year to year and age to age.
You are my Lord, my Guide and King. To You this song of praise I sing.
You’re still my Father, I will turn to You when things aren’t right.
You’re still my Father, I can count on You to hold me tight.
When I can’t find a place to hide, I know in You I can confide,
Because, Lord, You’re still my Father.

Verse 2:
I often wonder what I’m doing, where I am, and where I’m going.
I wonder how my dreams will happen. I wonder where You’ll lead me next.
But I know You have it taken care of, in ways that I am not aware of.
I give the driver’s seat to You. Lord, I surrender all to You!
You’re still my Maker. You created me, and I am Yours.
You’re still my Maker, and You know what purpose I am here for.
And as the Potter molds the clay, I’ll let You mold me day by day,
Because, Lord, You’re still my Maker.

Verse 3:
I’ve been through thick, I’ve been through thin. You’ve been with me everywhere I’ve been. And now I know it was all You. You are the One who led me through.
You were always there, You never left me. You’ve shown Your care, Your love and mercy. You are the truth, the Life the Way. You’ve been with me, Lord, everyday.
*You’re still my Savior, I will follow You through stormy wind.
You’re still my Savior; as You have begun, You’ll lead me to the end.
And when it seems I can’t get through, You’re still the One I’m looking to,
Because, Lord – ( Repeat from * once) You’re still my Savior.

ENDING:
As earthly parents teach their child to walk,
All the good I’ve learned, Lord, You have taught.
You held my hands and led me on, stepping with me all along.
Looking up to Your loving face, I understand how to walk by faith.
I’ll take Your hand, and trust inYou.
That’s all I want to do.

Then you can see, I’m everything you need.” So Lord –

When words can not explain my feelings and emotions,
And I know I can’t complain, yet I feel lost in an ocean.

I’ve seen that You have always made me whole. So Lord –

Verse 4:
No matter where I am, or who I see around me;
Whether fellow saints abound, or I’m feeling kind of lonely;

What Does God Mean to You? - Lyrics

Verse 1:

Last Line:
So what does God mean to you now –

Through the Storm - Lyrics

Verse 1:
Can’t you hear the thunder rolling? The storm indeed is drawing near.
Don’t you see the signs unfolding? Yet God bids you never fear.

Beneath the waves, it seems we’ll drown; still God will never let us down.
Let us take courage; let us be strong! Through faith in Jesus, we’ll journey on.

Verse 2:
Soon we’ll see the lightning strike, marking the start of a raging storm.
It will be the darkest night, but soon will come that blessed morn.

Though clouds are billowing and black, God will provide our every lack.
May we be faithful; may we be true! Our God will lead us and get us through.

Verse 3:
Now you see the storm is coming, will you endure the final test?
Will you still continue running, till you see His face at last?

The Upward Journey - Lyrics

Verse 1:
We are climbing on a mountain, with rocky edges steep;
Above is a living fountain, below are waters deep.

It is an upward journey; Our eyes shall not look down.
The lessons we are learning bring us to higher ground.

Each day will find us nearer to our heavenly home above;
Our Saviour growing dearer, our hearts renewed with love.

Verse 2:
At times when we have stumbled, we felt we could not rise.
Yet through it we were humbled, and saved by Jesus Christ!

So as you climb this mountain, and find more of your sin,
Do not become discouraged; remember where you’ve been.

The Lord will give you power to boldly take your stand
Beneath His bloodstained banner, just grasp His nail-pierced hand.

Ending:
“So by My grace, run the race. My grace is sufficient for thee.
Just never stop, you will reach the top; Put all your trust in Me.
To the holy peak you are sent; I AM with you always,
Even unto the end.”

The Pilgrim's Path - Lyrics

BEGINNING:
While climbing up the pilgrim’s way in a quest to see the brighter day,
My feet began to slip and fall; I cried unto the God of all:

Verse 1:
“O how can I,” with weary sigh, “go farther up the path?”
It’s getting rough to climb this bluff, and brave the devil’s wrath.
I need some power from above, infinite faith, infinite love.

Verse 2:
“Never fear, child, I AM here,” I hear my Jesus say,
“I will provide, but in Me hide, until that joyful day.
Thou safely can depend on me, I’ll never leave nor forsake thee.”

Verse 3:
But I turned away to His dismay; I feared He’d not be true.
My faith all gone, the days were long, I knew not what to do.
My sorrow deepened to the brim, I felt I could not follow Him.

Verse 4:
But God’s my shield, and He revealed that these were Satan’s lies.
He drew me near, He took my fear, and loosed my heavy ties.
He taught me how to conquer sin, and then asked me to follow Him.

Verse 5:
I will follow Him, though the way be dim, even through the darkest storm,
And by His grace, I shall see His face, on that eternal morn.
Then I shall ever be with Him, never to see pain or sin.

ENDING:
And when my journey is all done, my victory having been won,
I’ll wearing my crown, in triumph gaze down
Upon that pilgrim’s path.

The Journey In Truth - Lyrics

Verse 1:
When I was deep down in the pit of sin, I was longing, but fell in despair;
My sin-sick heart cried out to Him, “O Lord, what must I do to be saved?!
Jesus, I’m nothing at all without You, O Lord, how I want You, O Lord, now I need You,
O is it not You, Lord, in Whom I’ve believed?

Verse 2:
When I saw the way, but thought it was dim; I had knowledge, but just wasn’t sure;
My longing heart cried out to Him, “O Lord, I know there’s truth in Your word.
Jesus, I know what You say is so true; Your word I see, but want to understand more.
O Lord, of its power, I must be assured!

Verse 3:
When I began to understand more of His word, I could sense the Lord speaking to me;
My hopeful heart cried out to Him, “O Lord, You’re showing me Your will.
Jesus, I don’t know how You will break through, But Lord, I know there is hope in You.
Your word, O Lord Jesus, in my life, fulfill.

Verse 4:
Then He led me on in the truth of His word; To new heights He led me everyday;
My joyful heart cried out to Him, “O Lord, I see You getting me through,
Jesus,You always are showing me more, more of Your light, that shines from Your word;
Lord let it shine through me, that all may see You!

Ending:
All things work together for good somehow.
O Lord, I see it and I know now, that by Your grace, I will see Your face!
Oh, thank You, Lord Jesus, for all You have done!
The journey has more than begun….

grace, you will succeed. Just give yourself to Me, and I will make you free.
Take My hand, take My hand...

Take Them Home - Lyrics

Verse 1:
All the evil in this world, its bitterness and pain,
Seem to call me up to heaven where sin has not one stain.
Still I long for the salvation of everyone I love,
God has something for all of us to gain...

So the prayer of my heart is to see them there, and never part.
Lord, help us all to be faithful to You now, till eternity.

Souls are fainting all around me from ignorance of the Way
And God’s power to convert them, that turns the night into day.
Souls are precious in His sight, He chose to give His life
That we might be saved, and then shine forth the light...

Verse 3:
Sin’s deception, misunderstanding, confusion and despair
All lead souls who know the truth to not even be prepared
For they just are not converted, and truth is not applied;
They need Someone to change their hearts and lives...

Verse 4:
There are times when through the darkness I see the golden light
And I know that God will use me, and through me shine so bright
So that everyone will see it, and know God loves them too.
This assurance leaves heart and soul renewed...

Not Just Sometimes - Lyrics

Verse 1:
At times it seems I am so close, but then there are times I am so
Far away. Oh, Lord, don’t let me ever be lost; I want to be Yours, Lord,
Everyday…

Not just sometimes, but always Lord; I want to do Your will, completely, not in part. Jesus, I need Your love to fill each corner of my heart.

You to stay. O Lord, don’t let me ever be blind; I want to see Your will, and then do What You say…

You to be. Lord, with Your Spirit dwelling inside, I know that You, Lord Jesus, will shine through me…

Verse 7:
I know it’s not Your choice, Lord, to leave me behind, although I have really stumbled in the way; but Lord, in the darkness the light You shine, I must give my all Lord, I must not delay; With You I must stay…

Ending:
Jesus, should this life be lived all alone? Jesus, I know the answer is “No”;
So I give my life to You, Lord, let Your Spirit shine through!

My Love Is Enough - Lyrics

Verse 1:
There are days when life doesn’t seem so bright,
And you just don’t know how you will get through.
You are feeling down, so you pace around,
But you find out that there is no use.

You’ll be accepted and understood. The Father begs of you, “Please,
Just get on your knees. Then I can show you the way that is good.

Verse 2:
If you don’t know why it seems you can’t get by
Then there’s something that you need to learn
I’ve been through it, too, and I promise you
That there’s one place to which you can turn
The Lord’s desire right now is to show you how
To leave your burdens at His feet. If you will do this, He says,
“I will give you rest, and I will satisfy all of your needs.

Verse 3:
So you see, my friend, when your heart is rent
The great Physician is waiting for you.
Take your heart to Him; He will cleanse your sin.
Do not worry; He’ll carry you through.
Your broken heart He will heal; your pain He does feel
He will not leave you in the dust.
He pleads with you, “Trust in Me, I will set you free
If you will just place in Me all your trust:

Jesus the King - Lyrics

Verse 1:
In a stable there was a birth
This child was of most precious worth
The Son of God came down to earth, on that night
Even when Jesus was young
He and His Father, they were one
He was and is the Holy One, The everlasting Light.
Verse 2:
He lived to do His Father’s will
Hungry souls He came to fill
He taught the people on the hill, of God’s love
To the villages He came
To heal the sick, the blind, the lame
To glorify His Father’s name, throughout every world.
Verse 3:
In the garden, Jesus mourned
To a hill, His cross was borne
The soldiers placed a crown of thorns, on the King.
His weary eyes were filled with tears,
But all His love was met with jeers
Although He laboured all His years, Salvation to bring.
Verse 4:
He bore the burden of the cross
Though it appeared to be a loss
He really paid the highest cost, for our souls
In the temple the veil was torn
His body to a tomb was borne
But then one bright, victorious morn, He triumphed over death.
Verse 5:
I say that once I knew Him not
My burden was a heavy lot
With all my heavy heart I sought, for Him
And then my Saviour came to me
He took my sin and set me free
A brighter path He made me see, I shall not return
Verse 6:
Your sins may be as scarlet,
But your soul, He bought it
The battle, He fought it, for you.
So of your burden now let go
Jesus will wash you white as snow
And more grace He will bestow, To keep you free from sin.

Verse 7:
Now death is the result of sin,
But by His grace we can live in
The light the Lord has given, through His word.
Jesus won the victory
That we from sin may be set free
And now He calls to you and me, To let Him reign within.
Verse 8:
Enduring, we will run the race
In His strength, and by His grace
Until we see our Saviour’s face, when He comes.
Jesus will reign eternally
Men’s and angel’s praise will ring
Of His redeeming love, we’ll sing, To Jesus the King

In the Strength of Jesus - Lyrics

Verse 1:
In the strength of Jesus, I can overcome all sin;

In the strength of Jesus, I shall no longer fear,
In His strength, I’ll trust in Him knowing that He is near.

In His strength, I’ll run to Him, till I shall see Him at last.

In the strength of Jesus, I shall glorify His name;
In His strength help others along, and His promises claim.

In the End -- Lyrics

Verse 1:
Are you upward bound? Do you want higher ground?
Do you want something real, something you have not yet found?
Fun and pleasure, as the wind, will it matter in the end?
What’s important? Put all else aside.
You must in God’s love now abide.
Trusting now in God’s care, you can then be prepared.

Verse 2:
Do you fear the last day? Do you not know God’s grace?
If you now live in Him, you can be ready then.
Fear and burdens, heavy sins, will you want them in the end?
If you keep them, what good will they do?
Jesus simply wants to free you.
Give your fears to Him now, seek Him, He’ll show you how.

Verse 3:
Do you need to give in, and surrender to Him?
Jesus knows what is best. Trust Him, and He’ll give you rest.
If you do this, truly, friend, He will lead you through the end.
In His power, you can do all things,
You’ll get through with Him as your King.
Will you let go today? God is mighty to save.

Verse 4:
So you see now, my friend, to prepare for the end,
You must now walk with God, who for you walked this sod.
Jesus came to set us free, it’s just up to you and me
To choose if we will follow Him.
If we’re on His side, we will win...

ENDING:
When the Lord comes in the end, on whose side will you stand?
Are you building on the shifting sand, or will you be found on the Rock?
You have nothing to lose, so then what will you choose?

In His Love Abide -- Lyrics

Verse 1:
I shall never be afraid, for the Lord is by my side.
On the cross, my debt was paid, I shall always in Him hide;
For He takes away my fears, and He holds my by His side,
And my earnest prayers He hears;
I shall in His love abide, I shall in His love abide.

Verse 2:
I shall never be alone, because Jesus really cares,
And to me He makes known, that He really is there;
For He ever is the Way, and the Truth and the Life,
And He leads me day by day;
I shall in His love abide, I shall in His love abide.

Verse 3:
I shall never be dismayed, for I know that all things
Work together for good, and true peace to me He brings.
Jesus carries me through, and I know for me He died,
And my heart He does renew;
I shall in His love abide, I shall in His love abide.

Verse 4:
I shall always trust in God, though I walk through valleys dark,
For He is my Staff and Rod, and each step for me He marks;
He will lead me all the way, for He is the Shining Light,
My trust in Him shall stay;
I shall in His love abide, I shall in His love abide.

Verse 5:
I shall always rejoice, for I’m now on Jesus’ side;
I will praise Him with my voice, By His grace to self I die.
He is cleansing me from sin, and He ever is my guide,
So I now live in Him;
I shall in His love abide, I shall in His love abide.

I Will Not Back Down - Lyrics

At Thy feet I kneel,
I pray for strength of will –
I will not back down.
Before Thy face I stand,
And by Thy grace I stand –
I will not back down.

You’ve put a conviction in my heart today.
I know it is You; I cannot delay.
You have shown me my folly,
And my sinful stalling.
I delayed to admit the truth,
And I pushed away Your calling.

I sometimes refused, but You prevailed.
And now I know I cannot back down.
I see You’ve been with me when for truth I’ve stood –
And You will stand with me, I know.

Trembling as I am,
I choose to take my stand –
I will not back down.
Weak though I may be,
I will be strong in Thee –
I will not back down, Lord –
I will not back down.

I Belong to Jesus - Lyrics

Verse 1:
I belong to Jesus, He belongs to me,
All because He saved me, on that cursed tree.
Oh, marvelous thought! How can it be so?
Such amazing love, I may never know.

Verse 2:
Lord, how can You love me? Jesus, Son of God,
Left the world above me, walked this guilty sod.
In the garden hour, Thou didst hold the cup;
Trembling, but with power, chose to lift me up.

Verse 3:
Lord, help me be true, to Your holy word;
May I honor You, in this wicked earth.
Whatever I do, wherever I be,
Help me to be faithful, always to Thee.

I Will Go -- Lyrics

Verse 1:
I will go, I will go with my Father, He is good, I must follow Him.
I must go, I must go where He leadeth me, even when the way is dim.
He is good to me, and I love Him so, His child I really want to be.
I will go, I will go with You Father, You are good; I must follow Thee.
Verse 2:
I will go, I will go with my Saviour, He is good, I must worship Him.
I must go, I must go where He leadeth me, only He can cleanse me of sin.
He is good to me, and I love Him so, His servant I really want to be.
I will go, I will go with You Jesus, it is You that I want to see.
Verse 3:
I will go, I will go with You Jesus, You are good, I must do Thy will.
I must go, I must go where You lead me, let me be Yours forever still!
You are good to me, and I love You so, Your friend I really want to be!
I will go, I will go with You Jesus, Let me be Thine eternally. . .

I Must Serve Him -- Lyrics

Verse 1:
God is so good, I must serve Him. He has done so much for me.
I prayed when the way was dim, and the light He made me see.

CHORUS:
O Father, You are amazing, You have done so much for me.
You know, Lord, how much I need Thee.
Let me always Thy servant be.

Verse 2:
Lord, I know I was so evil, but then I cried out to Thee,
And in Thy loving compassion, Jesus, You came, and saved me.

His Love Will Endure -- Lyrics

Verse 1:
Sometimes you can’t see God’s hand, and you just don’t understand,
But I assure you my friend that He’ll be with you to the end.
And though your trials are deep, and they may cause you to weep,
In Jesus you can confide, and He will stay by your side.

CHORUS:
He will carry you, He will get you through, and you can be sure,
That His love will endure, that His love will endure.

Verse 2:
Sometimes the path may be steep, and faith can be hard to keep,
But when we earnestly pray, He will lead us day by day.
And when you just can’t go on; and not much else could go wrong,
Just give your burdens to Him, and let Him cleanse away your sin.

Verse 3:
Sometimes we trust in man, but this is not in God’s plan;
First we must trust in Him, and He will bless our time with them.
So when we’re tempted to hate, Oh, let us not even wait
To ask God for His love, and glorify Him above.

Verse 4:
Sometimes you stumble and fall, but let the Spirit recall
That when you fell on your face, Jesus was there to embrace.
So if you’re troubled and weak, you know there’s Someone to seek.
You will find Jesus again, and He will save you from your sin.

Verse 5:
Sometimes you don’t think I’M there and that I don’t really care,
But through faith you can see that there is hope in Me.
Sometimes the path may be rough, and you don’t think I’M enough,
Just put your trust in Me, and you will have the victory!

LAST CHORUS:
I will carry you, I will get you through, and you can be sure,
That My love will endure, that My love will endure.

He Showed Me the Way - Lyrics

Beginning: In my dreams, still be with me. Draw me closer to You, day and night – Keep me by Your side. Verse 1: In my dream, He answered prayer, And He showed to me the way to always follow Him. I was on a road overlooking a valley. I couldn’t see it, but there was danger around me. The sky was gray; I was afraid. I looked down the road, yet it was not the way To the place where I needed to be. Verse 2: Soon I vanished to a meadow where In front of me, I saw a Shepherd Man standing there. I studied Him, and He spoke to me. He spoke true wisdom that I began to see. The words He spoke were Scripture alone. He said all like sheep have gone astray. I felt He would show me the way. Verse 3: With my Shepherd, I appeared again At the place I was before, the place I had feared within. I looked to my Lord, who was strong and true. With Him I felt safe, though the sky was still not blue. I trusted Him, and followed His lead. As He walked away from the road I was on, I listened and hung on His word. Verse 4: As I followed, still He spoke to me. Still I knew not where I was, but I knew where I would be. He would lead me on to my home above. In a world of hatred, I could rest in His love. And come what may, I knew I was His. So we have the choice to walk in our ways, Or follow our Savior in faith.

Deliver Me - Lyrics

Verse 1: I’ve fallen again, so low to the ground Even though in my heart I kept hearing the sound Of reasoning and pleading to show some self-denial.

Be Still - Lyrics

Consecration Prayer - Lyrics

Verse 1: Father, why do You love me? There’s nothing worth loving in me. My sins I see, and the pain they cause Thee; why do You love me so? I’ve been astray for too long, I pray to You through this song. I’ve sinned so much, I need Your touch, cleanse me Lord, make me whole. CHORUS: Why You would love me I don’t see, there’s nothing worth loving in me. It’s You that I need, with You I plead; Lord, I would follow Thee. Verse 2: God knows the end from the beginning; I’ll learn the start at the end. Before I see where I will be, He longs to take my hand. I insist I’m going the right way, but don’t see where my path will lead; Yet everyday, God begs me to say, “It’s You I really need.” Verse 3: Jesus, You know I’m a sinner; I don’t deserve heaven with Thee. But You don’t care, You want me there; You suffered and died for me. Create in me a clean heart; renew a right spirit in me. In You I am strong; to You I belong, throughout eternity. Verse 4: All to You I surrender, Thine forever to be. I’ll never let go, for this I know, that You will be with me. “Courage is fear that has prayed.” These words rang loud in my ears. I wasn’t sure if I could endure, but God dispelled my fears. Verse 5: Soon I will enter the battle; I must be strong, Lord, and true. It’s You I seek, for I am weak; Father, I lean on You. Help me be faithful and trusting; Lord, plant my feet on the Rock. It’s You I choose; I’ll not be moved – no matter what the cost. Ending, after chorus: Lord, I will follow Thee! Jesus, You’re everything to me. The world is as nothing compared. I’ll follow You now, You’ve shown me how. You have answered my prayers. O thank You, Lord, for the way You have led me day by day. I choose to live for You now; humbly before You I bow. Taking one day at a time, I give You all of my life. I choose to be dead to sin, and just let You live within! This is my consecration prayer; Lord, I will follow Thee... anywhere.

Come Back, Little Lamb - Lyrics

Verse 1: All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned to our own way, And the Lord hath laid on Him, all of our sin. And now Jesus says: “Come back, little lamb, return to the fold. In the end you won’t want to be out there, you will find it too rough and cold. When it was daytime, you left me to go play around. When the night came, unseen dangers were lurking about. I will lead you away from this dangerous place. I will feed you, and close to Me you shall be safe. Even if you are just so used to it here, I can still take you home, lead you all the way there.” Verse 2: Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: Now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place. And now Jesus says: “Come back, little lamb, return to the fold. You thought that you were close enough, so you slowly lost your hold. In your weakness, you thought you could trust in your strength. There were thorns where I led you, so you wandered away. I’m your Shepherd, I offer the land that is best. Through My word I will feed you, and I will give you rest. If you still feel that with Me your soul is at strife, Just know I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Verse 3: Know ye that the Lord is God, it is He that has made us, And not we ourselves; we are His sheep. And now Jesus says: “Come back, little lamb, return to the fold. Have you been without Me long enough? Are your own ways getting old? Do not feel you are hopeless, I want you to be strong. No matter what you go through, your Maker is God. Even if you may feel that your heart is too cold, I will heal you and lead you back into the fold. If you go where I lead, you can never go wrong. Take My yoke upon you, and you will overcome.

He Said To Me - Lyrics

Verse 1: When I was so troubled and weak, I knew Who I needed to seek; I asked Jesus for His grace, and I could feel His warm embrace. Then He said in mercy to me, “My grace is sufficient for thee; You can trust I’ll get you through, You can know I’m always with you.” Verse 2: When I did stumble and fall, I cried out to God, and gave Him my all. I knew I was dead without Him, so I cried, “Lord, reign within!” He had said so clearly to me, “I am the way to victory. In this very trying hour, you can claim My saving power.” Verse 3: Jesus says assuredly, “By my grace, you will succeed, As you always hold My hand, in My strength, you’ll firmly stand.” So I now will run the race, In Jesus strength and by His grace; And I will continue running, Till I see my Saviour coming….
