Love on a Cross

I think of You Lord hanging on the cross, a crown of thorns piercing Your brow,
Your blood screams out Your love for me, and all I can say is wow,
So in my gratitude for salvation, I give You all of my attention,
And I know that in any situation, I can expect Your divine intervention,
For I know Lord that in Your blessing, You only give the best,
My mind is at peace and I dwell in Your arms, and You I will profess,
Your presence motivates me into living, all of my life for You,
I know my eternity is with You, as sure as the sky is blue,
The uncertainty of tomorrow, I do not have to fear,
For I believe that through the valleys and on the hilltops, You are ever near,
May I be used by You Lord, so not one second is wasted or lost,
In proclaiming the message of salvation, birthed on Calvary's cross.

The Good Seed

Lord the decision from my heart is, that it is Your will I choose,
May I be purified and sanctified, a chosen vessel You can use,
May my words and actions deny what is evil, showing only what is good,
So I will be the witness for You Lord, that I really should,
For You have given me a salvation, that totally changed my heart,
And cleansed me from all my sinfulness, giving me a brand new start,
Your love overflowing in me, is meant for me to always share,
For I am the instrument that You use, so everyone knows how much You care,
Because if I wait for this world to show them, then they will never know,
It is up to all of us believers, to steer them to where they need to go,
Now may I never cultivate anything in life, that grows a bunch of weeds,
But Lord may my life only plant, God's wonderful salvation seeds.

No Crying

One day in Heaven I won't cry, but I will surely cry out,
Lord I know You hear my silent prayers, but I believe that I will shout,
And eternity won't be long enough, for me to give You praise,
But I promise You my arms won't get tired, as my hands to You I raise,
And I'll bow humbly in total gratitude, at the foot of Your throne,
Any thought of all my past sins, I find they are truly gone,
Also I find I have been washed, so much whiter than any snow,
And it's all because the way to salvation, one day I came to know,
In accepting You as my Savior, my life was filled with many good things,
I look forward to standing with the angels, and just for You we'll sing,
So I'll serve the sentence of earthly existence, and do it without fear,
For I know one day in Heaven, there won't be any tears.

Never Late

Although this earthly existence, is not always that great,
I will wait patiently for You Lord, for You are never late,
And I will let You shape me, into what You want me to be,
Always with my eyes open, so my eternity I can see,
For I was truly blinded before, living in a constant sinful state,
Not even knowing or caring, that hell would be my final fate,
Until one day I realized, what Your cross was all about,
And I accepted Your salvation Lord, I'm set free without a doubt,
Now my daily living revolves, around seeking and doing Your will,
Recognizing Your greatness, and before You I humbly kneel,
To bless You and to praise You Lord, my passion for You is like a fire,
Burning always within me, a never ending, wonderful desire.

To Know Him More

Sitting in the sanctuary, praising and worshipping to start out the new year,
There is no better place for me to be, after all the Christmas cheer,
For today as every day, I choose to seek my Savior's will,
Because mine is not sufficient, but His is constant still,
Through forever all He promises, will always remain the same,
And He is salvation's only way, I bow down humbly calling His name,
For through a sinful man's life's journey, I was walking on the wrong side,
But Jesus changed my heart, so now only in His presence will I abide,
And making yearly resolutions, is not the way I want to grow,
Just more wisdom and knowledge of Him, is what I need to know,
So hallelujah for my surviving another year, I am a thankful man,
But I eagerly look forward to this new one, and seeing all that God has planned.
