1 Cor. 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
My eyes look up as they search for help Toward the hills where the promise lies The Creator’s not far, He works His way Toward me from the other side
He guides my walk and protects my feet From stumbling on the rocky steep Great comfort lies within my heart Knowing that He shall never sleep
Christ is my shelter, He provides me shade During the fiery trials of life Under the shadow of His Blessed wings Peace and comfort throughout the night
This Keeper of my soul ever vigilant Protecting me through life’s storms And watches over me with such care Not just today but ever more!
Just as I was, You accepted me Ended was my search and quest Such amazing grace which I received Undeserved mercy at best Sweet precious Saviour to me!
Oh how my soul longs to be with Him Exhausted from the trials of the day I look forward to sitting close by Him And wait anxiously to what He will say
He watches, He beckons, Come join Me I will quench your thirst and make you whole Sweet solace I’ll give beyond measure At this peaceful haven for your soul
This sanctuary I’ve made for you To shelter you during times of storm And prepare you for trials up ahead While a work in you heart I perform
I go to my haven each morning All my cares at His feet I do lay I leave them with Him for He loves me As I travel on life’s narrow way.
As the grass doth wither and the flowers fade away Thy Word shall stand forever as a light upon my way Quicken thou me this day, O Lord, according to Thy Word So I may share Thy glorious hope to a dying world.
Thy Word is hidden in my heart to shelter me from sin Each word is breathed upon my soul and rooted deep within Springing forth in times of need to freshen day by day This manna doth feed me and molds this lump of clay
Lord, You’ve been so faithful in those times I’ve cried to You. You’ve answered so many prayers, and made wondrous dreams come true!
You’ve always been there to guide me when I wasn’t sure what to do. You gave me strength when I was weak, and Your light came shining through.
I thank and praise You for Your gentle touch, of reproof when I’ve gone astray. You promised You’d never leave my side, and You’d walk with me every day!
You knew before the foundations of earth That you’d have to die for man kind Yet you took upon you this vessel of flesh To die for a worm such as I
Although the knowledge of strife and pain You would have to endure on the way You came to your fate regardless of self For the sinner your life you did lay
Despite your destiny you chose to leave Your heavenly home and your throne You left behind your royal robes To die on the cross all alone
Your nail scarred hands and side remain As evidence of what you went through Let me focus my eyes and thoughts on them And to daily bring glory to You!
A state of confusion is what I was in I walked in the darkness along with my sin I knew something was wrong in this life of mine But just what was missing I could not define
I went a long way, I was rambling along Not putting my finger on just what was wrong Until that day came when my rambling was done I found my confusion was finally gone
Confusion was replaced with beautiful peace A promise given that my dark days would cease New life has been given to me by His Hand My sin debt’s been paid by the blood of the Lamb
Wonders and promises are given to me By my side He’s promised He always would be He will be right there whenever I call And pick me right up if I ever should fall
He’s blessed me endlessly I have to admit And taught me to look up and never to quit So much I have learned that my mind’s in a whirl But all this He’s promised to His precious world
Make Jesus our Lord that’s all we need do All of His promises will truly come true It’s not all that hard as we think it will be And joy we will have for an eternity!
