Life Eternal
Forever, LORD, with You
Your eyes look deep within my soul
Your gaze pours life into my spirit
Your Spirit imparts your love to me
And fills my heart with love for You
A love so sweet and pure
It overflows
Yet causes me to yearn for more
Contentment and joy are mine
Like a fountain of life they grow
Surging forth increasingly
Forever, LORD, with You.
Worthy
Dedicated to Jesus
You alone are worthy
of my desire and my praise.
When darkness falls all around me
My eyes are clouded by sin and iniquity
And hope seems distant, prayers unheard
Feeling insignificant in terms of eternity
Still Your goodness toward me ever flows
I’m cherished as a child of the covenant
Knit in love with others whom He knows
Indwelt by the Spirit’s sweet commandment
Words of grace and truth that will remind me
Flesh and blood aren’t meant to be my enemy
I will trust in You and claim Your might
Knowing then my failures turn to right
In Your mercy glory will surround me
I will praise Your name in eternity
You alone are worthy, worthy, worthy
I will praise Your name in eternity.
When weakness seems to abound in me
My arms are crippled by laziness and apathy
And life feels stagnant, steeped in pain
You remind me of the truth in Your reality
I’m cherished as a child of the covenant
Knit in love with others whom He knows
Indwelt by the Spirit’s sweet commandment
Words of grace and truth that will remind me
Flesh and blood aren’t meant to be my enemy
I will trust in You and claim Your might
Knowing then my failures turn to right
In Your mercy glory will surround me
I will praise Your name in eternity
You alone are worthy, worthy, worthy
I will praise Your name in eternity.
Always in the Light
Lord, we are just children
Snared by our ignorance
Measuring the universe
With feeble tools and foolishness.
Lord, we think we understand
The length of Your creation
The width of Your perfection
The depth of Your heart’s intention.
But all we really need
The Lord will surely provide.
Help us to see clearly, always in the Light
Speaking for You fearlessly, always in the Light.
Walking like You… Lord, what would You do?
Guide our steps plainly, always in the Light.
Lord, we need Your help to focus
Rightly and to accurately weigh
How to use our time and talents
Mightily for You every day.
In the world yet separated
From evil, conceit, mediocrity
Refine us, keep us consecrated
Mindful of spirit and eternity.
But all we really need
The Lord will surely provide.
Help us to see clearly, always in the Light
Speaking for You fearlessly, always in the Light.
Walking like You… Lord, what would You do?
Guide our steps plainly, always in the Light.
Overwhelmed with worldly care
Help us remember You are ever there
Satan with his smoke and mirrors
Cannot withstand the Light of You.
We’re created for Your purpose and plan
Meant to follow those great in faith
Sacrificially giving, courageously living
Transformed by Your love and grace and strength.
And all we really need
The Lord will surely provide.
Help us to see clearly, always in the Light
Speaking for You fearlessly, always in the Light.
Walking like You… Lord, what would You do?
Guide our steps plainly, always in the Light.
