Soak Me Lord

Lord I want Your presence to saturate, all of my very being,
So I will be in Your will, in all my doing, saying, hearing, and seeing,
For I want to fill my life, with only the things I should,
To ever turn away from evil, and only seek the good,
That Your Word will be the guiding light, within me in all things,
So the world can see Your redemption in me, and the salvation that You bring,
For John says that God so loved the world, that His only Son He gave,
The whole world needs to realize, that He is the only way to be saved,
And we are to be the messengers, God's story of love to share,
For on earth we are the primary way, for the lost to know how much God cares,
So fill me Lord and soak me, be righteousness in me,
For the fields are ripe for harvesting, waiting to be guided into Your eternity.

More Better Than Good

Though life is never perfect, it's always good, of this I'm sure,
I just need to keep positive thoughts, as God helps me to endure,
Whatever the devil throws at me, it's something every day,
To have more strength and wisdom, I will ever pray,
So You Lord can easily show me, the way You would have me go,
And You Lord can easily teach me, all You want me to know,
For to draw closer to perfection, Lord Your will I need to do,
There's no way that I can do that Lord, unless I keep my eyes on You,
Now I will thank You for Your promises, and I'm thankful You forgive,
I hope it is always reflected, in this life I live,
And Lord I want my heart to be clean and pure, every time You check,
For I know You want more than good for me, You want my life perfect.

So None is Lost

Lord all I've learned throughout my life, and everything I've heard,
Have not affected me, like what You've taught me through Your Word,
For since I brought all my sins before You, and every one confessed,
You have really changed my life, and I am truly blessed,
I know there is none other, who could make my heart brand new,
But You've made me a new creation, and I'll never stop praising You,
Now I have the peace of knowing, my soul is safe through eternity,
And Lord I will not fear the devil, as long as You are protecting me,
I will reach out in Your love, showing Your Way to the lost,
So they will know that for everyone's salvation, You paid the total cost,
For from the bondage sin holds us in, all need to be set free,
That none would miss even one bit Lord, of Your precious glory.

Choose You This Day

Even though my human body disappears, so there is no trace of me,
My soul will always be around, it will last through eternity,
And it is up to me to make the decisions, where my soul will go,
I have chosen eternal life in Jesus, whom I have come to know,
So please do not ignore the truth, that I seek to tell,
Yes there really is a Heaven, and there really is a hell,
But we all have a choice to make, of which road we will trod,
And I pray you choose the one, that leads you straight to God,
Just as I have chosen salvation, you too will choose your fate,
May you also accept salvation, before it is too late,
So will it be forever in Heaven's glory, or forever in hell's fires,
Follow my lead and choose Jesus, make Him your heart's desire.

The Difference

I pray for understanding, as You share wisdom from above,
Rejecting this world's way, and Lord walking in Your wonderful love,
For in my earthly life, Your Word has made the difference,
In it I am ever growing, acquiring more spiritual sense,
As I look up and see the sun, moon, and stars, hanging in outer space,
I realize that I am just a very small part, of this human race,
But every little small piece is needed, for the puzzle to be completed,
And every Christian needs to be alert, so that the devil can be defeated,
So I will seek Your will for me Lord, in Your Word that's so inspired,
For in reading it to learn more of You, truly sets my soul on fire,
Now I will seek my eternity in You, not what's on the other side of the fence,
Because Lord it is Your Holy Word, that really makes the difference.

In His Peace

Even in the worst storm, when I face my fears,
I can find a peace Lord, in knowing You are near,
For my sins are ever present, and the devil is always after me,
Yet as hard as Satan tries to blind me, Lord it is Your truth I see,
And I know You will not cause me harm, by anything You do,
That is why with all my heart, I place all my trust in You,
But if You ever decide that it is time, to call me to Your side,
Lord I can honestly say that is the place, I want to ultimately abide,
So I choose to learn more about You, as to me You become more real,
And my prayer is that I don't pursue my way, but ever seek Your will,
For that is the only way I can become, everything You want me to be,
And I know eternity will be sweeter and kinder, since You have set me free.

Run From Evil

Lord give me the wisdom in my life, to know to run from any evil,
For the devil's presence in this world, is so very real,
He wants to draw us in, so he can kill, steal, and destroy,
For He has no regard for the being, of any man, woman, girl, or boy,
But a good thing to remember, is that angels are always nearby,
And I pity the soul that rejects, the reason why Jesus came to die,
The closer one draws to the Savior, the harder the devil fights,
For he does not want anyone, walking in God's Heavenly light,
So every second of our lives, we need to be alert and aware,
And constantly seek our God's will, finding out how much He cares,
Now keep the faith, and let us always, keep our thoughts on things above,
And never ever underestimate, the power of God's love.

He is My Focus

I love the fellowship, praise, worship, and learning that we have in church,
And the reason that I come, is that I have completed my search,
I have found that being a Christian, is right where I should be,
From the bondage of my sin, I have truly been set free,
But I have to focus on Jesus, so I will never stray,
And make Him a constant presence in my life, every single day,
Lord I have those moments, when I don't do things just right,
So I am thankful for Your grace and mercy, and Your guiding light,
And I will speak positive words of life, into myself in everything,
For it is Your promises Lord, to which I will eternally cling,
In the constant battle against the devil, my faith will never get weak,
And within the glory of Your blessings, it is You I will truly seek.

God Smiled

I don't know what tomorrow holds, so I will live for today,
And hope I am prepared to face it, as I seek God's will and pray,
For even in any uncertainty, my faith will ever be strong,
And I will keep my focus on Jesus, right where it belongs,
Believing that He will protect me, as all the storms of life do rage,
Because every day is a spiritual battle, that I have to wage,
And God helps me to clean up things, if I make a mess,
By His love, grace, and mercy, I am continually blessed,
So I will seek to be a servant, and people all around me serve,
Showing them that my Savior always gives, more than I deserve,
And if any situation in my life calls for it, I hope to go that extra mile,
For when God looks at my heart, I want to believe that God will smile.

Watching and Praying

This has been a long week, everything about it seemed so wrong,
And the devil came a calling, trying to prove that he was strong,
I felt wrapped up in his death and destruction, hour after hour,
But I know even in the whole of it, it doesn't compare to my Lord's power,
And even in mourning the outcome, especially with those who lost everything,
I will never yield to the devil, but will praise God for good things,
All of my earthly troubles will vanish, when Jesus Christ I see,
For through it all His being my anchor, gives hope and peace to me,
I am so thankful for the mercy and grace, that He always gives,
And I believe I will be in His presence, as soon as I cease this life to live,
But then Jesus may decide to take me, even as soon as today,
So that is why I am ready, and always watch and pray.
