How O Lord ?

How O Lord can we hope to embrace
The power, the extent of Your Mercy and Grace,
How O Lord can we hope to understand
All that You have for us so near at hand.
How O Lord can we endeavour to comprehend
The power of Your Love, that has no end,
How O Lord? Indeed only You know
As we by faith put our trust in You so.
That in times You'll make things more clear
As You walk close to us ever so near,
As our closest friend our guide night and day
Who abides with us always each step of life's way.

Great Is Your Faithfulness !

So great is Your Faithfulness
Lord Jesus unto me,
The Way, the Truth, the Life
That from sin sets me free.
So great is Your Faithfulness
That You so hung for me,
Bearing my sin and shame
On the Cross of Calvary.
So great is Your Faithfulness
That unto me You did bring,
Mercy and true Hope
My Lord, my King.
So great is Your Faithfulness
You reached down from above,
And enveloped my being
In Your unfailing Love.

God’s Ways !

God works in ways we least expect
In ways we at times cannot understand,
All He asks of us, is to walk by faith
And to each day hold onto His Hand.
To each day step out by faith in Him
And fear not what is yet to be,
For as we lean on Him more and more by faith
He will open our eyes to see.
That our and His ways are often so different
Yet He can use us if we yield unto Him,
To bring to pass, His plan for mankind
As we proclaim Him as our Lord and King.
As we lay at the Cross our personal plans
And wait upon Him to be our guide,
By learning to step out and walk by faith
And in Him to daily abide.

The Trials Of Our Faith !

The trials of our faith are in order
That God may prove me and you,
To remain steadfast and faithful
To Him in all we go through.
The trials of our faith are in order
That we may by faith wait on Him,
And to no matter what the trials we’re facing
To always proclaim Him King.
The trials of our faith are in order
That we may learn to Him draw near,
With a childlike faith no matter what
With a heart that is honest and sincere.
The trials of our faith are in order
So that we may run yet deeper everyday,
Into God’s Arms, yes His Arms of Love
As we stand upon al that His Word does say.
The trials of our faith are in order
That we may in Him so believe,
No matter what the trials may be
We have abundant blessings to receive.

From Him as we by faith stand steadfast
Upon His Promises everyday,
No matter what our life’s trials
May in anyway so bring our way.
For He is our Lord and our Saviour
Our Provider and our dearest Friend,
Upon Whom we in every trial we face
Are able by faith to depend.
Who will never leave nor forsake us
But through every trial so make a way,
That we shall come forth victorious
By faith in Him each and everyday.
Changed a little each time to be more like Him
So that when the trials come again,
We shall be stronger in faith through them
So that over each trial we shall reign.
Through the Presence of Christ within us
Through the Presence of His Spirit within
As we from every trial we encounter
Learn to press deeper into Jesus Christ our King.

Faith Lord!

Faith Lord comes by hearing and hearing by Your Word
Faith Lord comes by living, by all our spirit has heard,
Faith Lord comes by believing, with total trust in You
Faith Lord comes by claiming, You are Lord just and true.
By claiming You are Lord of lords, yes You are the King of kings
You are Christ our Saviour, our Redeemer from all sin,
Who shed Your Blood out of Love, upon the Cross of Calvary
For all who would step out in faith, to abide with You for Eternity.

As A Pathway !

As a pathway through the wilderness
Is Lord You Amazing Grace,
That enables Your Life to so spring forth
Within this once desert place.
Having been watered by Your Living Word
And daily fed from You Lord above,
Your Life in me is now springing forth
Enveloped in Your Mercy and Love.

O But For Your Mercy Lord !

O but for Your Mercy my Christ
O but for Your Amazing Grace,
O but for how You so shed Your Blood
Out of Love for the whole human race.
O but for the very fact my Lord
That when You called unto me from above,
I heard Your still small voice that day
I became enveloped in Your Love.
When I said my Lord come unto me
That Your Spirit may dwell within,
As I did in Love You so responded
You indeed did then enter in.
Bring into my being that day
The Seeds of Life and Everlasting Peace,
That have grown day by day
And I know Lord shall never cease.
As You Water and daily nurture them
Through Your Living Word I feed upon,
And by Your Spirit working in me
By faith in You I am made strong.
