Lord this day, please find in me,

change this heart, that I may be.

Turned away from sinful acts,

giving me hope to finish my task.

 

Search me within, change me please,

using each gift thou has given to me.

Sharing God's love to each brother,

that in life we may all walk together.

Jesus gave

May a day be granted to you this time, salvation in Christ,forgiveness is mine, Each breath of life, I take each day, reminds me more of the price you paid.   God my father who knows me well,  gave me life to this dust filled shell.  Caring far deeper, then any will know, blessings of grace,forgiveness you show. 2

Lord you found me, when I was down,

in sinful waters I nearly drowned.

You carried me above my fear,

held my hand, wiped away my tears.

 

If my doubts should turn to fear,

I call on to you that you may hear.

Crack open this soul and let you in,

ask you to forgive me of my sin.

 

Forever now my soul you saved,

this is why Jesus Christ came.

That all may know, redemption's door,

Christ will save you from the storm.

LIVE IN THE LIGHT

Death has no hold on me,

Christ my king has set me free.

Just like him we are raised to life,

 

Humbled from battle we follow his path,

worship the father with all that I have.

He listens when we call out to him,

he is my shelter from storm and wind.

 

 His foundation on him we build,

in us the holy spirit he has filled.

Eyes on Christ and do your best,

he carries the load matter the test.

 

Made that we may share his news,

from mouth to mouth we may choose.

For fields of flowers may have a weed,

 then speak the truth to plant a seed.
