Unclean, unclean my heart declares
My hands and feet agree
All the sin my life has spawned
Has made a leper out of me

No you can’t see the festering wounds
They encircle my heart
Hidden from sight the sores of life
They move me into the night

I’ve worked so hard to find my way
All my steps my own
Even as I declared my faith
The Lord said he is on his own

I worked harder trying to please
Almost there my sin would reveal
The thing that Lorded over me
Self, and self and self again, only Jesus can save me

I kissed the ground at Jesus feet
Oh Lord I’m desperate to be healed
Only you can save my soul
Jesus please forgive me

Jesus Christ the Lord of life
Reached forth His nail scarred hand
Be healed my son and follow me
Jesus gave life to me

Evil done, repented, sung
Jehoahaz thought of God as a servant
Calling for help against Aram
Dying as he lived, doing evil in God’s sight

Where O’ Lord can we hide?
Why should I think my evil will escape your sight?
But I do, for my ways and days are evil
Thanks be unto God, Jesus is my salvation

Oh how sweet to say His name, Jesus
The joy of His voice fills my soul,
No other name can save us
He is the One and only, God’s son, Jesus

Today my soul is sad
I have recounted all my sin
Knowing I have missed some
Praise God that Jesus has saved me

I know how sad my sin makes Him
It is a burden, a mark on my soul
Cleanse me of my wicked ways
Jesus, lover of my soul, make me whole

Organize your life-God is first
Rid yourself of trouble and woe
Know Him, King of kings, Lord of Lords
The Lord is God and there is no other

Do those things only you can do
Stop your evil lies
Set aside your gods of pleasure
Bend your knee to Jesus-He is the way the truth and the life

Put on His righteousness-let His light cover you
Walk in faith-God loves you-He will do what is right
Know Him-make allowance for others
God chose you to represent Him in this world

Spend time with Jesus
Get to know His ways by reading His Word
Talk with Him about the Word-claim His promises to you
The Lord is God and there is no other

When you know Jesus
You will have a different attitude about life
God’s will is what you will be seeking
Christ in you is your hope of Glory

Daily reading of His Word
Many times each day in prayer
Moment by moment service
Jesus is with you

Trust God-let Him change your attitude
Living a life that expects the best
Requires Christ in you
The Lord is God and there is no other

Fear resides in my soul, creeping up to take control
Christ is king and Lord of all, He wants a relationship with us

God makes His plans, made for you and me and all of us His people
Christ is king and Lord of all, He wants a relationship with us

God’s plans are for us, He is seeking our best good
His plans were set before there was time, these plans give us a peace and hope
Pessimism is our natural state, stop now and listen to me-His plans are for your good
Christ is king and Lord of all, He wants a relationship with us

His plans are gracious, full of grace and peace, giving us what we need and cannot earn
Abundant grace, provided by His shed blood for me, His gracious life was complete
The Lord of all sets us free, trust in me He says, fear not for I am with you
Christ is king and Lord of all, He wants a relationship with us.

His purpose in His plans, beyond our wonderful eternal life
The privilege of having a relationship with the Father, Jesus is the way the truth and the life
He brings us into the presence of God, right now He is calling me and you
Christ is king and Lord of all, He wants a relationship with us.

Walk like Jesus
He calls us where we are
I plead with you
Walk like Jesus

Walk like Jesus
The world is wrong
Bend your knee to God
Walk like Jesus

Walk like Jesus
Worthy of our praise
In humility and kindness
Walk like Jesus

Walk like Jesus
Diligent in His Word
Seeking unity and peace
Walk like Jesus

Walk like Jesus
He is our hope
He has called us
Walk like Jesus

Walk like Jesus
One God, One Father of all
Jesus is the only way
Walk like Jesus

Look at you, standing tall, think you are the best of all
Powerful ways, strategic mind, lifts you above the fray

Who can lead, who can win? Never share your strength with men
Example for all, wars and strife, boot strap living is hard and nice

Jesus came, a servant to all, fully man alike us all
Different in His purpose, He knew the secret of power, serve one and all

God works different than us, the world is not a lure, He is all and in all
Bigger than we can think, He is God, a waiter to the least and the small

His hands can hold the universe, and an atom, and you and me
He seeks to give us direction, for a joyous life, a life of accomplishment

He says again, I would you do this, wait on others especially the weak
In waiting you will find strength, I will renew your faith, I will use you

In our failure seeds of victory are sown, watered by God, Christ in us
Our purpose is true, a slave and servant to man, Jesus is Lord of all

A tree is a thing of beauty, alive, productive, valuable
Providing many almonds for a hungry world
Requiring a caretaker, one who collects its fruit
The tree is faithful to always be an almond tree
Bearing its fruit in its season, always, regularly
Watch for the Spring, the blossom of the tree announces its arrival
It does it every year, consistently, faithfully

There is an example for us
An example for living, an example for serving
We are called to be faithful
Always reliable, we can be counted on
Awake and alert, we are to always produce fruit
Our master, Our Lord is our caretaker
He is tending to our needs, asking only for our faithfulness

There is a lesson for us about our Lord
Even when it seems as though He doesn’t hear
He is on time, The Lord is watchful over all we do
His promises are true, everyone is true
The Lord will fulfill His purpose in you
His plan for your life will be fulfilled
God is watching you

Called in his mother’s womb
God knew Jeremiah
Had a plan for his life
Before he began human life
God thought of us first
God is good to me

God is God and there is no other
He is sovereign and Lord
Calls each one of us to be like Him
We surrender, He molds us like Jesus
Giving what we need
Our life is before His watchful eye

Mission and ministry
We are all called
A work for us to do
A life for us to live
However hard it is
Jeremiah’s was harder

Jeremiah knew God’s call
He wasn’t a good speaker
Language wasn’t his strong suit
But God put His Word in Jeremiah’s mouth
He said to Jeremiah-Trust me
I am not limited like you

We want to know
Not to do but to command
Even the Lord did not think
God and His relationship was easy
We cannot know what THEY see
The Lord is good, He is good to me

All the problems we read in Jeremiah
No different than the problems we see
Christ is seeking to help us grow
Uprooting and tearing down my sin
Destroying and Overthrowing again and again
He is at work, molding Jesus in me

Controversy isn’t new
The world hates Jesus
They will hate you

Circumcision, prayer, miracles
It can be any reason
Whatever they make up will do

Prejudices, skin, parents
All convenient excuses
By grace thru faith in Jesus
Salvation comes to you

Confrontation done carefully
Getting the facts out in the open
Stating your position and living it
Will enable you to stand true

Jesus is a choice
That only you can make
Ask Him into your heart
Believe that His Word is for you

He lived a perfect life
Died on the cross
Raised by the power of God
Now He lives in you

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
God’s everything
What the world declares is a lie
Your relationship with Jesus is true

Choose now who you will follow
Choose to be saved
God died for you
Accept Jesus is what you should do

Birthed by Christ
Into God’s family
Remade complete
Christ lives in me
I’m a living stone
Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord

Jesus is the corner stone
No other one will do
He is the only One
The Messiah
He holds all things together
We are eternal in Him

He is rejected by the world
It does not see
The Word of God is clear and sharp
The world doesn’t see
It is dead in its trespasses
God’s Word brings wisdom to you and me

Judgment comes
The world ignores
The Word declares
The Holy Spirit quickens our sight
Jesus is alive
He lives to set us free for eternity

We are His chosen people
Accept His gift for free
Ask Christ to come and live in you
Your life in Christ for eternity
He is calling you now
Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord
