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
Clay Corvin 9/13/09
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

Coming to Jesus
Seeking His love
He first loved me
My confidence from above
Precious in the sight of God
The very thing sought so long
Relationship and friendship
Christ offers to me
I am new in Christ
Precious in the sight of God
I have a new body
Unseen to me
Created by Christ
He died for me
Precious in the sight of God
Today is the day
Rejoice and say
Jesus is alive in me
I live for Christ formed me
Precious in the sight of God

John did what he was called to do
He didn’t gripe
The Baptist was faithful and true
He didn’t build buildings
Or raise a crowd
They followed him
He got in their face
“Sinner God is speaking to you
Repent, repent before life leaves you”
John got under folks skin
He was an irritant
He told them the truth
He upset the Orthodox
Tradition was not his way
He lived in the wilderness paving God’s way
Messiah was coming
Any day now
John wanted to be ready
John was excited when Jesus came
Christ knew his name
John baptize me Christ said
Then face to face in baptism
John heard God
He saw God’s face, Messiah had come
John worked
Herod cut off his head
John’s work was done, Messiah had come

What really happened in you?
A little shepherd boy found words
Cared for by God
Plink, plink, the rocks spoke
Their sounds said something is here
Scrolls where at hand
Two thousand years
Protected by the dry climate
God’s hand had written Words for today
What have we learned?
God can do as He chooses
His Word really is true
Promises made are promises kept
The Lord is still active in the world
Jesus is at work in our lives
Qumran, that place of sand and rock
Life was here
It was God’s protected Word
That life is the same life
Active in our hearts
Calling us to trust and obey
Someone is watching you
Their life depends on how you act
Jesus makes even the rocks speak

I had a dream as a little child
A man was beating down our door
Breaking up the living room and my mom
I awoke and it was true, I remember it as clear as now
I made my choices based on my own strength
Daring anything to pierce my ranks
My life was built on feelings and emotions
I was captive to the things I could see and feel
I didn’t sleep much, my dreams were always real
I didn’t care about anyone but myself, everyone else was a risk
I stuck it out and then struck out
My life was built on sand and doubt
Then one day the Lord came my way
I wasn’t looking for Him, He just stopped by and said hey
He wanted to know how my life was going, I said not so good
Christ said come with me and I will show you how it should be
I began my walk, I followed Him, read my Word His word to me
I read each day, read and read, so many things that stunned me
The Word of God talked about me, the things I would face, the things I would see
It was personal and present, it spoke in my heart and mind, I felt freedom all thetime
Everyday was a new day, Christ in charge and showing the way
Ups and downs and emotions raw, I still surrendered to the Truth
Jesus spoke to me and taught me how to stand in the face of my emotions
I was not at the mercy of the world, money was not my king
Day by day He built my soul
Guiding me to live life bold
Knowing that Christ had set me free
My belief is in Jesus and His love for me
