That Name

Just like the thief on the cross, I too have called on that name,

The one that changes lives forever, so they never are the same,

To experience the power of that name, in salvation and in healing,

Knowing that His eternal love, is more than just a feeling,

Thankful I have chosen life, life that that name brings,

Praising Him with my voice, in the songs I loudly sing,

For His teachings build my faith, making my purpose oh so real,

As that name guides me, toward His perfect will,

In my seeking Him, that name drives me to my knees,

When I realize He is the only Way, my soul could be set free,

That name holds a wonderful message, I will proudly proclaim,

As I continue to call on Jesus, for Jesus is that name.

He Didn't Fail

I thought about a tree, the one where the sinless One was nailed,

And I remembered it was because, of all the many times I failed,

As He carried the whole weight of all our sins, I know He was thinking of me,

So that from all the evil and the bondage, I could truly be set free,

He created the total package, salvation yes and healing,

And now within His presence, I know it is His love that I am feeling,

Now I can walk without any fear, of whatever today or even tomorrow may hold,

For He has filled my heart with faith, and eternal hope fills my soul,

An eternity with Him, is why I seek to do His will,

Everyone has a choice, but know that Heaven and hell are real,

May not one drop of blood be wasted, but may all come to see,

That Jesus died for you, thank You Lord for hanging on that tree.

Never Say No

I don’t remember Jesus ever saying no, when it came time to save or heal,

The salvation and healing offered through the cross, today is still very real,

And it is truly great to be a part, of His special anointing,

The life He offers through being in His will, is never disappointing,

Even on the days sin’s temptations bombard us, much heavier than on others,

It is easier to defeat the devil, with help from my Christian sisters and brothers,

To know someone is lifting you up in prayer, each and every day,

Makes me thankful for them, and I also remember them when I pray,

My desire, as is God’s, is that all would become believers,

So that of God’s grace, mercy, and blessings, they could become receivers,

And I hope that by how I am now living, everyone will know,

If they need help with getting saved or healed, I never will say no.

Lord I Love You

Compared to Yours my love is like, one drop of water in the seven seas,

But it is enough to help me keep the faith, in what I truly believe,

For it is a great thing, if only the size of a mustard seed,

And as I walk each day through life, I see You Lord meeting all my needs,

I will seek Your will diligently, until I experience my human death,

Keeping You on my mind, whispering Your wonderful name in every breath,

Then into eternity, praying I have fulfilled all You expect of me,

Studying Your Word now to find out, all You want me to be,

For life and death hang in the balance, of every choice that I may make,

I have chosen You, and want everyone to know what really is at stake,

Avoiding any temptations, so I can walk straight and true,

Surely not missing any opportunities to let You know, how much I love You.

An Eternal Love

How can I not love someone, who has loved me since before eternity,

Who loved me with the greatest love, even before I came to be,

Whose love has no beginning, and surely has no end,

And in His great compassion, to the cross His Son did send,

So that within my humanness, this love I would come to know,

That in the journey toward my destiny, His love I always show,

For love is more than just a word, it is expressed in all I do,

And in my living as a sinner, this greatest love made me brand new,

I cannot comprehend everything, this love of God contains,

But yesterday, today, and in all my tomorrows, this love ever remains,

So I will not let anything of this world, cause me to be sad or blue,

Because I can always hear Jesus saying, I will eternally love you.
