Seven, oath
Both apply
Water gives it life
This desert land of promise
Abraham and other patriarchs
Lived and learned
Faith and witness
God is one
Then the days
Rulers came
Worshipping things of death
Ignoring God’s claim
Promise claimed
The victory flamed
Then quickly died away
Yet ever Israel’s southern song
Change, change
Kings came
People denied
Beersheva lost its fame
Remember Christ
He knows your name
His oath to you
Will never change
Clay Corvin
Pilgrimage for me
Walking in His steps
Coming home to see
Exactly what He did for me
More than just a sense
The dust and air declare
His Words tell the truth
It happened right there
Pictures in my mind
Draw me from the page
To see the way He lived
Speaks volumes to me
Every where I go
Jesus is with me
Israel helps me know
Through pictures Christ will show
For just a moment
We walk through five thousand years
Touching, feeling, seeing
The activity of God’s Word
Knowing His plan for me
Seeing His reality
I bow and pray
Lord use me
His thoughts
His pain
His love
My gain
Clay Corvin
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
Clay Corvin
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

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
Clay Corvin 11/29/06
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
Clay Corvin
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

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
10/20/06
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
