HOW GREAT

Comparing greatness
Fails to show
How great our God
We just don’t know

Little minds
Confined by time
Little arms
That fail to find

Living here
We think control
But little things
Upset our souls

How can we?
Plumb the depths
Or reach beyond
The stars that shine

God is great
God is good
Christ died for us
So He would be understood

LISTEN

Listen as the Lord speaks
Heed the words He says
Stand still as He honors you
His grace will make you real

Be not filled with a lying heart
Let your sin go by
Each of us is subject to
An inner drive to hurt

This is the day of joy and peace
Now is the time to claim
All the Christ is offering you
Quit blaming others, that is so lame

Be the one that bends the knee
Heed the words He says
For words from God are very strong
Giving strength to live

Do not let the enemy
Tell you you don’t count
Jesus death has paid your price
Your life is a gift from God

Walk on through this life with love
Whatever your place might be
Knowing that the Lord of all
Is with you each step of the way

Listen as the Lord speaks
His love is aimed at you
Live your life abundantly
Jesus will see you through

What makes a man twelve feet tall?
Money or wealth or people he can call?
Or may it be the things he’s done
For family and friends and others

What makes a man twelve feet tall?
Looming over others that claim their all
Is it not the gentle way he lives
Or is it the way he gives
Giving of self beyond request
Giving in life all his best
Giving his wife and children his life
Giving to Christ his focus and all
To be used up in every respect
To help each one find their place

What makes a man twelve feet tall?
We see so few it’s hard to know
But in my heart I feel the truth
A man this size is God’s blessing to you
One that walks his path with Christ
One that lives each day as his last

Charles Senior was just such a man
Each one that knows him felt his hand
A hand of strength
A heart of gold
A life of love andA legend that grows
For all his life he lived his best
Christ his life
A man twelve feet tall

I love you Chuck- your dad is the best-and now he is with his Master

JESUS

Very God
Very man
Jesus came
So I would know
That God is in control
His grace enough for me
I am not alone
His love abounds for free

So much in life
Confounds my mind
So often I feel pain
But He has walked
The land I walk
Felt the strain on me
Declaring I am free
His blood the payment for me

Little mind
Little man
So hard to comprehend
But when the Lord
Came down to me
His action showing me
How deep and wide
His love was for me

Calling me to service
Calling me to yield
And in this serving
Yielding mode
I find my strength
To tell and show
Abundant life that gives
So everyone will know

Jesus is for each and all
His love so deep and true
In Christ is value
Strength and grace
Guiding all to know
A quality of life like His
People seek to have
And Jesus gives for free

JESUS IS LORD OF ME

I look at life
Thru eyes of pain
Bemoaning all my heartache
Why me I complain?

Standing with the Lord of Hosts
I’m reminded of His strength
All the power He will give
If I will ask Him how to live

Turning from the fear and dread
Those evil days condoned
Knowing now I’m not alone
Jesus has made me His own

Let the history fall away
Today begins a brand new way
Drop the thoughts condemning me
Jesus Christ has set me free

Now is when my heart is free
Joy and peace roll over me
Christ is King and Lord of all
Obeying Him is key

To live a life direct from Christ
Giving me eternal advice
So that I can be
The that He created me

Facing days of trouble and strife
I bend my knee to the eternal Christ
Standing up with courage
I can be the one I see

My life is His in me
Freedom reigns and service gains
The world cannot defeat me
Jesus Christ is Lord of me

FRAGILE

The frailty of the human race
Causes me to plea
Heal my heart and evil ways
Jesus help me please

Walking thru a life of sin
Striving to do right
Struggling with the things I do
Jesus help me please

Reaching out to do the right
Sin gets in my way
Failing, failing, in God’s sight
Jesus help me please

Forgiving all the past I did
Healing my regrets
Help me walk the Godly path
Jesus help me please

Living now to serve my King
Searching for each right
Righteousness a gift from Christ
Jesus help me please

Face to face beyond this veil
I will stand and see
The glory of the Lord my God
Jesus help me please

CLOSE TO CHRIST

Drawing close to Jesus
Takes time in a busy life
I will give my life today
His presence is my plea

Jesus is the answer
My life was seeking for
Knowing I belong to Him
Guides me through life’s fog

Fighting off the future
As it assails my heart
Knowing it’s a foolish thought
To doubt my Savior’s part

He gives me the wisdom
To be the one He needs
Equipped to act in present time
I am His servant freed

Questions pull to failure
Jesus gives me strength
To be the one who stands and serves
In victory He has won

Tomorrow never comes
Now is all I have
Drawing close to Jesus
Prepares the life displayed

The Lord is my power
His life is my peace
Serving is my purpose
I live at Jesus’ feet

WHAT JESUS MEANS TO ME

Realities come in many shades
Some eternal andmost hand made
Christ is real-not man made
Gives a heart man can’t make

Jesus a friend truer than true
Providing life and fellowship too
Never leaving andalways near
No stampeding andChrist calms fear

Giving power needed to live
Each new day joy He gives
Knowing victory
Christ shares with me

Useful days
Worthy plans
Suited to my DNA
Jesus speaks to me-serve

Changing life inside and out
Every day His grace shows me the way
Guiding me in word and deed
Jesus is king of me

When each day is done
His victory wins in me
Impelling me to pray for you
His peace, His strength, His call

This place of tears
Your love is mine
My life I give

GIVING GLORY TO GOD

Love an action
On life’s stage
Freely given
To lives unmade
 

Our example died for us
His life perfect
A guide for all
So we can be like Him
 

Victory comes
In daily acts
It’s all of life
Our life is a fact
 

A wisp, a mist
Our time is short
We are passing thru
He is our friend
 

Everyday we walk His way
The world is dying
We seek to sway
Obedience builds our faith
 

The Spirit of God
Gives us His fruit
The things we do
To be of use
 

On that day
We go to Him
We see the glory
We’ve given to Him
