Majesty is your name
Lord you are always the same
Creating me from long ago
Knowing which way I would go

Yet in your strength
You gave me choice
Choose my way
Or bend my knee

Majesty is your name
Creatures great
The weather game
Making all complete

You lead by your love
Able to equip the least of us
To do those things you decide
So that your love will abide

Majesty is your name
Jesus died for me
His love paid my price
Help me take your advice

Serving as part of my life
As natural as I breathe
The life of Christ in me
Impels me to love

Life exciting
Won and won
Days enlightening
Trouble comes
Jesus has my heart
“I will not fail you”
Echoes in my heart

Years of famine
Little won
Difficulties
I’m undone
On my knees I plead
Jesus speaks to me
“I will not fail you”

Sunshine comes
Difficulty done
All is aright
No problems I can’t fight
I am is my delight
My life is on cue
“I will not fail you”

Twilight comes
Years have run
So much left undone
I would if I could
I know we can’t relive
What each of us would give
“I will not fail you!”

I look around
All I see
Criticizes
Disparages me

I’ve failed
I’ve hurt
I’ve not done my best
Sometimes I protest

Forgive me Lord
He did
Christ in me
Makes me live

I can see myself
How helpless
Jesus changes that
He has a plan for me

Worth
Value
Usefulness
I belong in Christ

Past
Present
Future
Jesus sets me free

I AM loves me
He belongs to me
I am His
His life equips me to live

My burden
Broke me down
Held my heart
Made me frown

Jesus came and spoke to me
He would take my load
Give my burden to Him
I did

Jesus died for me
Gave His life to set me free
Forgiveness for my sin
My load was placed upon Him

Now I live by His life
Filling me with love
Letting me serve
Surrender to His Word

Shaping all I do
Giving all I need
Jesus is my friend
He died for me

Now I live for Him
I willingly sacrifice
My ego and my life
To live for Jesus Christ

Crucified by choice
I claim His role
Kneeling before His throne
My life is not my own

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
The Lord of my life
I belong to Christ
Lord use my life

God knows each human heart
He knit them in His love
Giving us a path to good
Touching us with His should

Inside I feel the oughtness
Paths that I should walk
Ego makes me crazy
Without Jesus I am distraught

I was lost and feeling low
No future could be seen
Yet God created me with worth
Has a plan for me

His plan is good
His way understood
Surrender gets me there
Sacrifice carries me

I am His
Living His plan
Jesus guides me
As I travel His land

Learning much about Him
Because He teaches me
So that I can work my plan
Jesus loves me

His life is available
Creating new life in me
Able to seek His service
Christ created me

Inside of me
The world is small
I do not see the obstacles
Life will be what I see

Along the way
I go my way
The path is always blurred
Things get disturbed

Along the way
I lose a day
Then things disappear
Now I am here

How did this happen?
How could I have known?
Is there a plan for me?
Or is life a cruel joke?

Jesus came to end the joke
His love repairs my soul
Giving me His hand each day
As I walk in living woe

All around the heartache rings
I see things I can’t fix
But Jesus fixes me
I am able to be

A plan for me
Straight from God’s hand
Jesus brings life to me
And wisdom to walk the land

Now I’m on my way
Focused each day
On walking His way
Jesus lives in me

In the beginning
It was just me
Alone and fearful
How could I be free?

Wanting to be
A powerful one
In my heart
I felt undone

So many times
So many ways
Life trod me down
Beat out my fun

All along
Nagging at me
A need for something
To make me free

Free from fear
A friend of peace
Those were the things
I sought for me

Jesus came
Touched my heart
I saw my sin
It kept me apart

Apart from the Lord
My creator and King
Jesus forgave me
My life was set free

Now I know
Someone cares
He loves me
By His power I am free

Change is hard
I pay a price
Inside of me
Demands advice

I squirm and complain
Why is this true?
Change is so hard
Is this what I do?

I’m not pretty in change
I’m confused and slow
My heart is panting
Is this where we go?

And then those things
I cannot name
That stands against me
They really cause pain

I want to be at the top
Change puts me low
I don’t know
Others have the show

Ego see is always here
I’m important
I count
Change discounts me

Suffering at His knee
Crying out for help
My soul is stretched
His heart pours out love

He has my attention
Amazingly I grow
All through the pain and suffering
Jesus held my hand

I heard God say
Live this way
It is your strength
To deal with each day

I give you rules
To guide your way
Life with me
Means go My way

So many things
The Father says
I listen and learn
He is life in my head

I focus my life
On the Living Word
Searching His Word
For promises to me

Claiming each one
I journey His way
Confident in living
My life today

Time well spent
Listening to Christ
He knows the future
Like I know the past

Do this He says
As I face this day
I bend my knee
Lord I will do as you say

I will not depart
From God’s Holy Word
I will give my heart
To accepting His love

Today God spoke
As I knelt with Him
Do this He says
Immediately I did

Sit and think
Try to do
Misdirected
How about you?

Wonderful things
In my mind
I’ll get to them
Once upon a time

All my life
I’ve thought away
If I had any say
I’d change to be the right way

Then the Lord
Came to me
I will save you
It’s for free

I took His gift
It changed my heart
Now I did what I couldn’t do
Action happens because of You

Service is just a part of the ride
I’m a servant
In service
To Jesus Christ

He guides my way
I do as He leads
My focus is changed
I serve in Jesus name
