                Abiding In The Vine !

                 O Lord only as we abide in the Vine
                      And look to You by faith daily,
            Can we ever hope to produce in our lives
                   A fruit that is both Pure and Holy.
           May our life O Lord produce fruit each day
                 That is acceptable we pray to You,
               A fruit O Lord that comes in our lives
                From all that You so take us through.
          May we O Lord as You prune the branches
                   That bear no fruit of Your Being,
         Be able to accept the pruning You must do
                That lasting fruit may be then seen.
            May we O Lord as You work in our lives
                 Commit to You all that is unclean,
        That the fruits of the Spirit, as we daily yield
                In our character may then be seen.
           By those around we encounter each day
              With those we so come to daily face,
        As You work out of Love each day in our life
      And uphold us Lord by Your Mercy and Grace.

Who May Ascend Into Your Presence Lord ?

Who may ascend into Your Presence Lord
And stand in Your Holy Place,
Who could ascend up the mountain with You
If not for Your Mercy and Grace.

Who may ascend into Your Presence Lord
And stand with You and be seen,
But those who have a pure clean heart
And those whose thoughts are clean.

Who may ascend into Your Presence Lord
And receive the blessings from You,
But those who truly seek Your Face
And bring You the praises You're due.

Who may ascend into Your Presence Lord
And receive the righteousness from above,
But those who seek Your Face fervently
And guidance each day out of Love.

Your Steadfast Love O Lord Never Ceases !

          Your steadfast Love O Lord never ceases
                   Your Mercies are new every day,
                You watch over and keep us all safe
                    As You care for us day by day.
              Forgive us Lord for forgetting to say
                      From deep within our heart,
           Thank You Lord for Your ever presence
              Each day to the end from the start.

         You standby us Lord each step of the way
               You uphold us Lord by Your Grace,
           You carry us Lord when we're too weak
                   To stand amidst all that we face.
              Forgive us Lord for often overlooking
                Your Presence in our life each day,
              As You abide with us to help us cope
              With the trials that so come our way.

            You provide for us when we're in need
          You identify with all we're going through,
             You help us walk our life's each mile
                 As we yield ourselves unto You.
      Forgive us Lord for neglecting others in need
           We've so encountered along the way,
          Make us willing to share with them too
            The blessings You give us each day.

            You guide us Lord along life's paths
               You strengthen us each to stand,
        You help us bear the loads we must carry
            And uphold us in Love by Your Hand.
            Forgive us Lord for neglecting to say
             Thank You for all that You've done,
           For us Lord each day as we've grown
              That one day we may be as one.

Oh The Glory Of Your Presence Lord !

Oh the glory of Your presence in my life Lord
Brings me an ongoing peace,
A peace that passes all understanding
That I pray shall never cease.
Oh the glory of Your presence in my life Lord
May I linger in Your presence each day,
And from Your presence amidst all I face
In my life may I never stray.
Oh the glory of Your presence in my life Lord
Brings me such hope as I grow,
As I abide in You presence each day Lord
May Your presence in me clearly show.

In Your Time Lord !

In Your time Lord, as we yield to You
In Your time Lord, You'll bring things to be,
In Your time Lord, as we walk in Your ways
We will through You, become totally free.

In Your time Lord, as we walk life's road
In Your time Lord, You'll bring us through,
In Your time Lord, as we walk in Your Ways
Peace comes to us, as we abide in You.

In Your time Lord, Your Everlasting Peace
In your time Lord, Peace only You can bring,
In Your time Lord, a Peace words cannot explain
That comes from You, Lord Jesus Christ our King.
