From Your Mountain Lord !

From Your Mountain, Your Mountain of Love
Comes refreshing water, from You Lord above,
That only Jesus You can so bring
As we look to You our Saviour and King.

From Your Mountain, Your Mountain of Grace
Comes a newness of life, amidst all that we face,
As we look to You Lord, by faith each day
To abide with us each step of the way.

From Your Mountain, Your Mountain of Hope
Comes an enabling that helps us to cope,
With life's demands that come as we grow
Wherever life's journey would have us to go.

From Your Mountain, Your Mountain of joy too
Comes an uplifting that enables us to do,
All that life's walk would so bring our way
As we become more like You each day Lord I pray.

From Your Mountain, Your Mountain of Peace
Comes eternal life that shall never cease,
To all O Lord who would so lean on You
No matter what life so takes them through.

I Thank You Lord!

I thank You Lord that when I was blind
To the Truth and could not see,
You reached down to me in Your Love
And in doing You challenged me.
You challenged me to search my heart
You challenged me to turn to You,
You challenged me to yield my will
I thank You that this I came to do.

For in so doing You gave me new Everlasting Hope
You brought to me Your Joy and Peace,
That no words I could say would describe
But I know today shall never cease.
For these words were Words of Life
Words of Life that is without end,
For all who would by faith put their trust in You
As their Lord. their Saviour and Friend.

I thank You Lord that I came to yield
My will Lord into Your Caring Hands,
And in so doing Your Hands of Love
Have given me the strength to stand.
I thank You Lord that I learnt of Your Love
That’s unconditional, and is for all to receive,
If only they would turn from their doubts and fears
From their unbelief, and so learn to believe.

And in so doing You would enable them more
To receive vast treasures from You
That You have in store for all who believe
That You have for those who are faithful and true.
Faithful and True to Your Word Lord
Faithful and True in their walk each day,
As they put their hope and trust in You alone
The Life, the Truth and the Way.

Into resurrection life, that is without end
Into fellowship with You forevermore,
Into fellowship with all who believe in Your Word
And the promises You have for them in store.
Yes Your Promises for everyone including me
That we can now claim by faith through Calvary,
Believing as we do that in Your Time, not ours
These very Promises will indeed come to be.

As A River In The Wilderness!

As a river in the wilderness, flowing out across the land,
Is the River of Father God, flowing across the desert sand.
As the River of His Grace and Love, of His abundant Mercy,
Is the River of Father God, flowing out for humanity.
To bring Life where death once reigned, to destroy the power of sin,
Through the Atoning Blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, our Lord and King.
Now to You Jesus our risen Lord, We give You true thanks today,
For destroying sin and death forever and in doing became the Way.
By which all of humanity, could forever enter in,
To abide with You Sanctified and Holy, redeemed by You our King.

The Good Shepherd !

Jesus You are the Good Shepherd, yes the Shepherd of my soul,
Who once went in search of me, to return me into Your fold.
When I Lord was lost in sin, when I Lord had gone astray,
You having bore humanity's sin, for me at Calvary became the Way.
By which I who was lost in sin, Was able to then through You,
To return again to our Abba Father, I so thank You, I was able to.
As His lost child return home, To be restored to my rightful place,
As a son of God, a brother of the King, through Your Love, Your Mercy, and Your Grace.
No longer just as an outcast and no longer weighed down by sin,
No longer a slave of Satan, but a brother of Yours my King.
Who has been restored into fellowship, with Your Robe of Righteousness upon me,
With my feet shod with the Gospel of Peace and restored to me, the Ring of Authority.

Given to me by my Abba Father, when to receive I was so unworthy,
Yet He looked beyond my unworthiness and saw the true potential in me.
I thank you my Lord that I was able, to through You return into the Fold,
As a new creature, now redeemed from sin, through You Jesus, the Shepherd of my soul.

In Your Goodness My Lord!

In Your Goodness my Lord You have kept me
Yes in Your Goodness to me everyday,
You have watched over and protected me
Against the dangers along my life's way.
You have reached down to me in Your Mercy
You have reached down to me in Your Grace,
You have reached down to me in Your Love
And in Your Goodness, have enabled me to embrace.

All that in my life's journey I have encountered
All that I have had to face and endure,
And when I have called on You in times of uncertainty
In Your Goodness, You've made my steps sure,
Yes You have made my steps safe and sure
Every time I have called out to You,
For the enabling to face what life's brought my way
And every time You have helped me through.

You have become my sure foundation stone
Upon which I can now daily stand,
With a new ongoing assurance everyday
That You will never let go of my hands.
And with the daily assurance Lord Jesus Christ
That You'll continually watch over me everyday,
I now because of this I want to thank You
Yes today and every coming day.
