My requests and all my needs
With thanksgiving I come unto you,
My concerns unburdened to thee
In quietness of soul and mind
And worship at your footstool,
Leaving my cares behind
For all you are to me,
I thank you, Lord, that I matter to you,
Though at times, I cannot see
The things that I go through,
I find my eyes are on the storm,
When they should be looking to you
No matter what life brings me,
To carry on with hope and faith
And to rest in you with peace.

Our Gifts Are For Encouraging
Our Gifts Are For Encouraging
Help us, Lord, to see ourselves
Through your loving eyes,
To see what you see in us
And to come to realize
That everything that we possess
Comes directly from you,
The gifts, the talents you've placed within
Are there for us to use
To reach with hope to those that hurt,
To those who've lost their way
It's your gifts, Lord, they're not our own,
So take them, Lord, we pray
And use them for your glory,
So others may be blessed
And have their spirits lifted
And their souls also refreshed
So they can then be challenged
To seek more after you,
To be much more empowered
For whatever they may do
For each of us have talents
That God has placed within
So we can encourage others
To have a closer walk with Him
And as we encourage another,
We can be encouraged ourselves,
For there needs to be a continual flow
And a continual pouring out
And as we do this, we will find
Insecurities will disappear
And we'll be strengthened in His love
To overcome our fears.
When We Face Rejections
When We Face Rejections
Though we often face in life,
Rejections of every kind,
We need to know it's not the end
And to leave it all behind
And carry on with faith in God,
That He will see us through,
To fulfil what He has called us for,
The work we need to do
And sometimes these rejections
Are a turning point in life,
That lead to other avenues,
To bring our dreams alive
If we can only see this,
As a chance to expand our wings
And see there's opportunity,
To fulfil our godly dreams
For God knows what's best for us
And He will show the way,
We only need to trust in Him
And be on our knees each day
For He will bring it all to pass,
Releasing hope inside
As we keep walking with the Lord
And in His love abide.
When We Let Him Have Control
When We Let Him Have Control
Why is it as though
We struggle so much
And live in constant despair?
We don't need to carry
Such burdensome loads
But should go to God in prayer
Give Him your burdens
And all of your hurts,
Just lay them at His feet
He's such a big God
He can handle it all
And watches over His sheep
He cares so much more
Than we'll ever know
And just wants the best for our lives
Each one of his children
Has so much potential
If we’ll only begin to rise
To be all that God
Has intended us to be,
To walk through His open doors
We need to stay focused
And open to God
And put our trust in the Lord
For when we all come
To realize God's love,
Our hurts will not have a hold
For God's love will cover
And free us from fear
As we give Him total control.
God's Peace
God's Peace
God's tender love and peace
Is what we all long for
In a world so hopelessly chaotic,
So unstable and unsure
It brings stability to our minds
And calmness to our souls,
For that is what we desperately need
As this world can be so cold
We need to have God's peace
When turmoil's in our lives,
For God's peace doesn't depend
On the daily pressures of life
When we have those stressful days,
God's peace can often soothe
And bring us such a quiet hope
That chases away the blues
So when you feel the pressure on,
Remember, Jesus Christ,
Receive from Him the peace He gives
As His daily dose for life!
You Have A Part To Play
You Have A Part To Play
Each one of God's children
Has a special part to play,
Whether it be great or small,
We are needed every day
If your part seems very small,
Don't feel you're insignificant
Don't feel that you can't offer much
And you wouldn't make a difference
Though you're tempted to give up
And let another take your place,
Remember, God gave you your gifts
And you cannot be replaced
And these gifts that God has given,
He longs for you to share
You're just as important as anyone,
So don't be in despair
The only one who matters most
Is watching for your part,
With much anticipation
And excitement in His heart
So do not disappoint Him
By not taking your cue,
Though you think it unimportant,
This part is made for you
Don't let God walk away
With a disappointed heart
Because you felt so unworthy
Of your very special part
The parts that we've been given
Isn't based on size at all,
But rather on the abilities
And the gifting of the Lord
For each part is important
To make the whole thing work,
So do your part with enthusiasm
And know that you have worth.
This Is The Time; This Is The Hour
This Is The Time; This Is The Hour
The Lord our God will say to us
To not limit what He can do,
For He is a God of the unlimited,
There's nothing He can't do through you
For God is doing a new thing
In our lives, today, this hour
To raise us up to be His army,
Clothing us with His power
Remember not the former things,
The things that are in the past
Behold, He is doing a new thing
And will capture human hearts
It's time now to go out and gather
In the harvest of the Lord,
For there are many whose souls are ready
More than we've known before
So take His light into those places
Of darkness and misery,
That they may know the God of love
To give hope and a destiny
Then they may shine right where they are
So others may come to the light
And they in turn may come to know
The saving grace of Christ
Then Jesus' light may radiate there
Like a beacon in the night,
No longer groping in the darkness,
But shining forth God's light
May the spirit of God arise in you
And empower you much more
So His glory may be seen with you
As you proclaim the risen Lord
God's Eternal Blessings
God's Eternal Blessings
God's eternal blessings
Flows down from above
To equip us in His mission
To spread His wondrous love
So He can always use us
And stretch us in our faith,
So we may be a blessing
To others by His grace
For everything we need,
God will graciously provide,
Through His eternal blessings
That's abundant in our lives.
We Matter To God
We Matter To God
As we come before you, Lord,
And worship at your feet,
You pour out your blessings upon us
And meet us in our need
Whatever we are facing,
We can leave it with you, Lord,
And walk away with confidence
Knowing you will bear it all
For you are God almighty,
Our God in whom we trust
To unload us of our burdens
And shower us with love
Lord, you are so wonderful
To care about our lives,
Each small, insignificant detail,
Each tear that we cry
For everything about us, Lord,
Is so important to you,
You want to be involved in our lives
In everything we do
So I can't help but praise you
For the loving God you are
You care so much for every soul
And you're never very far
That we cannot touch your heart
Every time we come to pray
And we can come into your presence,
Each and every day.
God Is Not Distant
God Is Not Distant
Do you ever feel that God
Is distant and aloof?
Do you wonder if He cares
And has the time for you?
Do you think Christ would've died
If you were the only one?
Do you think God had such love
To have sent His only son?
I think God cares enough for us
To do this and much more
He's never distant and aloof
In this, you can be sure
He always said He'd never leave,
Nor will He forsake us,
He only wants to spend some time,
To share with us His love
We often say, 'God doesn't care
And there isn't any hope'
But it's maybe at those desperate times,
He's working in us the most
God loves us all, way to much,
To leave us as we are
That's why He sends to us the rain
To soften our hardened hearts.
Memories
Memories
Memories are a treasure
The wealth we have inside,
Special times and sad times,
They're all part of life
We often like to retreat
To the memories of yesterday,
The tender moments we had
That can never be replaced
When we see that the Lord
Was there throughout our lives
And see the turns we made
With Him as our guide
We see the plan He had
To bring us where we are,
We see the road we've travelled
Has brought us on this far
So memories of the past
Help us trust to thee
Our future years with gladness
That we cannot yet see
For if in the Father's care
We place each day we live,
We will know His inner peace
And His grace He freely gives.
Desperate Times
Desperate Times
Lord, it's getting to be desperate times
Why do you seem to delay
In responding to my pressing needs
That I remind you of each day?
In my mind I know that you
Will come through in the end,
But in my heart emotions rise
And I worry and fret again
Help me, Lord, at those times
To give it again to you,
Help me know deep in my heart
That you will pull me through
And that you fully understand
Exactly where I’m at,
Though circumstances do not change,
In you, I shall not lack
Everything when given to you
Will work out for my good,
For when I cast my care on you,
It's then, that it's understood
That it's just a matter of your timing
In responding to my need,
For often it's because you're doing
A deeper work in me
So all that's left for me to do,
The one thing that is sure,
Is to put my trust in you each day,
For nothing matters more.
You Are Worthy
You Are Worthy
Don't see yourself as insignificant,
Not worthy to come before God,
Fearing the stains are too deep to clean
From the sins you're guilty of
And don't feel as though you're not worthy
To dine at His table of grace,
Nor even to gather the scraps that fall,
Nor look into His loving face
But see yourself clothed in garments
Fit only to clothe a king,
Eating as His honoured guest
And wearing His signet ring
For that is how God sees you,
A worthy child indeed
A royal priesthood, bearing His name
The moment you came to believe
For surely as Christ's blood has washed you,
You shall be whiter than snow,
So don't see yourself as someone unworthy,
A tiny speck nobody knows
For that only belittles the value
Of Jesus Christ's spilled blood,
For it's through His blood He's cleansed you
And showed you how much He loved
He says, 'My child you are precious,
More than you can comprehend,
For nothing you've done could lessen my love,
For I'd always call you my friend
My heart just longs for you to come
And bask in my embrace,
My child, I will always love you
And pour out my mercy and grace
So don't feel afraid to draw near,
Nor feel you have no worth,
My Son's blood has purchased you
And has given you new birth
So come, enjoy my presence
And let me hear you sing
The new song I have given you,
For to me, you are everything'.
In My World Of Silence
In My World Of Silence
My world can be so silent
And it sometimes brings a tear,
The laughter of the children,
I long, one day, to hear
To hear their little voices
As they play their childhood games,
Longing to hear them sing their songs
And pray in Jesus name
To hear the birds each morning,
Greeting another day,
But my world is one of silence
One that's hard to convey
I wish I could express to you,
But I really don't know how,
I'm not sure that you would understand
What I'm sharing with you now
For it can be real lonely
When I feel I'm not a part
Of what I see around me,
It often tugs at my heart
But though our two worlds differ,
Jesus is by my side
It's in this common faith we share,
God's love in us abides
For He is the hope I have
And the new song on my lips,
My hearing may be limited
But my spirit connects with His
And with my fellow believers
As we worship side by side,
For I have found no greater love
Than the love of Jesus Christ.
God is Always There
God is Always There
We often feel as though
God is far away
And we often feel that He
Is distant when we pray
So often we feel lonely,
Not knowing where to turn
Just a touch from God above,
Our longing spirits yearn
So many times in our lives,
God seems slow to act
We cry out in desperation,
But it's faith we often lack
For God is not being slow
In coming to our aid
He comes through in His time,
We just need to learn to wait
The Lord is never distant,
He is there by our side
And continues to walk with us
Through the storms in our lives
He always hears our hearts cry
And answers all our prayers,
He won't leave us all alone,
For God is always there.
Love and Hope
Love and Hope
Hope arises from a heart that is broken
When love breaks through and healing is spoken—
A soul set free from the darkness within
When God came in and removed every sin
Hope will prevail where it once was lost
And love will triumph at any cost
For God gave us hope and faith to believe
And planted in us a precious seed
Which is love, sweet love, guaranteed.
Pray In The Battle
Hope
Hope
Without hope in our lives
Our spirits slowly die
And our souls become withered
And drained of all life
For hope is the breath,
The essence of our faith
That keeps us all believing
And living in God's grace
It gives life to our bones
And joy to our hearts,
Release for our troubled minds
Held captive in the dark
It gives light to our feet,
So we can find our way
And gives purpose in our walk
And faith when we pray
So, hold firmly onto hope
In the face of your storm,
For it anchors you to Jesus,
And His love is reborn
Our God Changes Not
Our God Changes Not
In a world of much uncertainty
And void of Godly truth,
When everything around us shakes,
It's God we hold on to
We must not trust in what we see,
In what this world holds dear,
For often it will start to crumble
When we are least aware
We can know God's sustaining peace
When our future seems unsure,
And know our confidence in Him
Brings new hope in the Lord
Keep holding on to the Word of God,
The truth you can depend on,
For it will stand the test of time
When heaven and earth are gone
So, even though this world's unstable,
He's still our solid rock
And the only certainty in life,
For our God changes not.
God Never Sleeps
God Never Sleeps
God is never sleeping,
Unaware of us down here;
His eyes are ever on us
And His presence everywhere—
For we may not always
Feel that He is near,
Nevertheless He's with us
With constant love and care.
God Is Not Distant
God Is Not Distant
Do you ever feel that God
Is distant and aloof?
Do you wonder if He cares
And has the time for you?
Do you think Christ would've died
If you were the only one?
Do you think God had such love
To have sent His only son?
I think God cares enough for us
To do this and much more
He's never distant and aloof
In this, you can be sure
He always said He'd never leave,
Nor will He forsake us,
He only wants to spend some time,
To share with us His love
We often say, 'God doesn't care
And there isn't any hope'
But it's maybe at those desperate times,
He's working in us the most
God loves us all, way to much,
To leave us as we are
That's why He sends to us the rain
To soften our hardened hearts.
Sometimes the Way is Hard
Sometimes the Way is Hard
Sometimes life's road we travel
Can seem so awfully hard
And our lives so very often
Bear all the hurt and scars
When will the turmoil end?
We find we often ask,
When our worries of the future
Stir regrets of our past
We need to take some time
To lift our eyes to Jesus,
For he knows us all so well
And in His love, He sees us
He just wants to be involved
In each moment of our life,
Bringing new out of what's old
And peace instead of strife
Giving life where there is death
And hope where there's despair,
For in this He expresses love,
Concern and tender care…
So, though the way seems hard
And you don't know what to do,
Know that you can trust in God
Who always walks with you.
The Lord Is Eternal
The Lord Is Eternal
The Lord is eternal
And full of constant love
He won't fail you nor forsake you
When you feel you've had enough
The Lord is eternal
And ever near to you
He's always faithful to fulfil
What He's promised He would do
The Lord is eternal
And always understands,
That there are times you feel afraid—
So, He holds you in His hands
The Lord is eternal
And created you to be
In fellowship with Him each day
And throughout eternity
The Lord is Eternal!
Give God Your Burdens
Give God Your Burdens
The Lord's unfailing love
Can touch your heart today,
Just give Him all your burdens
Each time you kneel to pray
Don't keep on holding on to
The hurts of yesterday,
You can nail them to the cross
And then just walk away
But remember as you do this,
Not to pull them down once more,
But just leave them there forever,
Knowing you can trust the Lord
For He has borne it all
As He hung upon the tree
So, you can know His freedom
And walk in victory.
Loving Father
Loving Father
Oh, my loving Father,
Look down from heaven above
And see me here before you,
In desperate need of your love
Lord, I feel so lonely,
In need of your listening ear—
I give to you my burdens,
That I can no longer bear
Oh, my blessed Saviour,
To you, I lift my eyes—
For you are my only hope,
In you my trust doth lie
Oh, Jesus Prince of Peace,
Stay close to me tonight—
And let me hold on to you
'Till dawns first ray of light
Oh, what joy to know,
I'm in your loving care—
For no harm shall befall me
As I feel your presence near
I praise you Lord Almighty,
For on you, I can rely—
Though my world around me
May fall before my eyes
You are a God of mercy
And won't leave me this way,
But you're there to lift me up
When I bow my head and pray
Oh, my precious Saviour,
What love and joy is mine,
For you have placed within me
Your power and grace divine.
In Our Time Of Need, You Are There
In Our Time Of Need, You Are There
Give ear to our cry, O Lord
And consider our meditation
We give heed unto the voice of you
As we cry out in desperation
For you are our ever-lasting God,
Ever present in time of need,
Always there with a listening ear,
Patiently hearing our pleas
And you are there to wipe our tears
As, to you, we pour out our souls
And you gently reassure our hearts
That you're able to make us whole
For you are great and to be praised
And show yourself more than enough,
For we could never find another
With your everlasting love.
