Un-weighable, unseeable, pure force, Jesus is Lord
Existing before there was anything
He holds all things together
Jesus is God’s everything

In the beginning Christ was with God
Before there was anything, Christ was
The universe began and He was there
His testimony is that He is in control

He is the eternally existing God
He came looking for me
He said He had a gift for free
It cost Him everything and it just fit me

He is the first and the last
He is here for me
Good, bad or indifferent
Jesus will always protect me

No detail too small
No problem too big
I cannot see Him
He never loses sight of me

A desert landscape view
Committed as Israel’s foe
Kill them, don’t let them go
Their idols had no strength
God’s hand moved
Moses conquered

Solomon rebuilt Arad’s strength
Built an altar, a high place of worship
His pagan wives knew
Arad was their place too
Baal, and RA and Asherim and others
This was mixed with a little bit of God
They said He was there

Solomon lost his way
The evil they would do
Offended all of Heaven
Broke God’s heart too
He loves obedience
They loved doing their thing

God is looking for a heart
That hungers after Him
One that is surrendered
The world isn’t its friend

The hand of God rules kindly
Always in truth
His patience once depleted
Man’s failure is viewed

A fortified view of a desert landscape, Israel was Arad’s foe
Couldn’t let them pass, they had looted Egypt, Arad could be next

Canaanite idols could do nothing agaInst Moses, a victory for God
Solomon sent soldiers, they controlled the roads to Edom and Elath

Arad became a hideout for Solomon’s wives, it was a fortified place
Baal and Ra and other gods were worshipped, along with the one true God

Solomon’s strength grew, his heart turned cold
Arad was a place of worship, but not the Lord High God

Arad’s worldly power was evident, it had a fortified view of the Negev
As an outpost of the people of God, it did everything but serve God

Pray for the church of America, it’s worldly power is great
It purports to be an outpost of Heaven, but it doesn’t worship the Lord

Solemn oaths, eternal promises, a well dug in peace
Touch this place, God promised Isaac, Abraham lived here
Our drama begins at the well, Promises must be acted upon

Christ will speak, are you walking with an open heart?
God wrote His promises to you, they aren’t in the land
They’re vested in the Living Lord, Jesus is at hand

All of us have wells of promise, Christ is looking for you
Waiting for you to camp with Him, His promises are true
Time is not an issue, eternity is our stage

When God’s hand is active, surrender is His child
Prepare for this moment, as Beersheva comes into view
A lifetime of faithfulness, begins with a promise and you

Clay Corvin, 12/31/08

Keep on going-even without answers
We want life to fit-it doesn’t
We live in the unknown-facing twists and turns
Make up your mind-push ahead-it works-keep on going

What ever you face-do the next right thing
Don’t let emotions turn you aside-live it right side up
Life can pass you by-determine to live this day-in spite of
Return to the fray-let this setback go its way-keep on going

Grief can trip you up-feel it-own it-then stand up
In the face of the storm-one more step-one more step
The storm will pass-you must not-live it every day
We come this way but once-keep on going

Faith lives with the uncertainty life gives
Knowing that the One we know does know us-where we are
Confident that the good times will return
Life is always changing-give it a chance-keep on going

Clay Corvin February 7, 2009

A word to you-don’t panic
When life gets hold of you
Don’t panic
Christ has a hold on you-He has you in the palm of His hand

This is life for you-don’t panic
The Lord is with you-you are one of a kind
His love is assured-let the storm rage-don’t panic
He is alive for you-His resurrection paves our path

Remember you’re on mission-not in charge
Let go of what is troubling you-stand still
Even though the earth moves and shakes-your world changed forever-don’t panic
Christ is in charge-this hasn’t caught Him off guard-your life is important to Him

Whatever happens, however long it lasts
No matter the grief or strife-don’t panic
In face of the storm-hold on and believe
This too shall pass-Jesus is alive and well-You belong to Him-don’t panic

Clay Corvin February 7, 2009

Know Him, Christ the King
Came to heal and save, the Unseen
Freed the slaves, from Satan’s hold
Christ the King, loves us all

In the village, in the town
Rich and poor, evil and wrong
He is seeking each to save, let Him have your heart
Christ the King, His love will reign

Everyone has sinned, including you and me
Our need is greater than we think, the unknown reigns
Then one day, the King will come
Evil gone, only Christ will reign

Stop your hurting, end your pain
Heal your troubles, in Jesus name
He is the One, we heard will come
Let Him have your heart, before this world is gone

Clay Corvin

You need to know that Jesus is coming soon
He isn’t limited by our time, no hours, days and weeks
Since Christianity began the testimony has been
Be ready, Jesus is coming soon

What you do and can do is important
Our lives aren’t measured by anything but Jesus
Jesus is God’s everything and He created you
He has a purpose in life for you that only you can do

Think about your salvation
Who led you to Christ?
How many others have come looking for you?
Where would you be if that servant of God hadn’t come to you?

Do not waste time by complaining about your plight
Whether easy or light
Or heavy with no delight
God has a job for you and it counts with an eternal weight

Your job must be done now
It must get done before then
Then will be too late
Jesus is coming soon

Don’t short change your family
I’ve been there and done that
Lift them up to Christ, as though their life counted
It does and so does yours

Treasure your friends
They are a gift from God
Our best tool against discouragement
Stay close to friends, they will help you complete your task

You have exactly the right amount of time
There are no mistakes in Christ’s family
Don’t let the enemy get over on you, Jesus loves you
Jesus is coming soon

God is at work in us, carrying us to His land
Chosen before time began, He showed His love for us
We have no excuse, He has clearly declared His purpose
Salvation is His gift, a relationship with Him our choice

On our Holy Land Pilgrimage, I choose to see and hear all I can
I will walk dusty roads, pick up rocks and listen
Let His Word come alive, THEY walked and worked here
Jesus will be my constant companion, Give me eyes and ears Lord

I will remember my family, they are anxious for my return
For two hundred and forty hours I will feast on Jesus and His Word
Sunrise is a time for prayer, sleep will be limited
Every site will be my chance, Lord speak to me

Clay Corvin Dec 31, 2008 On a plane taking a group to Israel

I belong to Jesus, He pours His grace on me
Filling me with peace, His glory shadows me

Looking to the future, it begins right now
Cutting off my evil, His life calls me now

Accepting all of His promises, encourages me to pray
Knowing Jesus better, I rise to meet each day

Called by Christ’s action, He came looking for me
I’m not a mistake; My life is filled with promise from the hand of God

Forgetting the past, I live for Him
Jesus is the reason I believe, He builds His freedom in me

I’m still suffering consequences, But they don’t stop my growth
I’m living like Jesus, The Father’s will my way

Saved to completion, I will live by His strength
Stand before my Savior, In His living line

I know He will use me, His Word declares my worth
Everyday with Jesus, I live to do His work
