THIS IS LIFE

Blue to do– I hold at bay—not by my own strength
I turn to Christ and claim my life—Jesus saved my soul
And walks with me along life’s way and every moment, every day
I have His joy in me—Evil will have to flee—Jesus lives in me

Today I felt as if I could—the joy overflowed
And then the world in all it’s woe—dumped a load on me
Stop I said —In Jesus name—there is no harbor here
My life is very dear— every moment counts—Joy overflows

In Christ the war is done—the victory has been won
Each day a new found peace—victory everywhere Christ walks
He talks His steps in me—No child of vanity—as I sit at Jesus knee
Life is new in me—Jesus is God’s way—Hallelujah everyday

THINKING OF YOU

I sit today and think of You—You’ve filled my heart and stopped the blue
Agonizing in the dark—which way and why will not deny
That life is rough and tough—declaring a negative worth
Reach out my heart and seek His way—Jesus I love you

Life is time and time is quick—what can I do to make it stick
Claiming days that waft away—my heart is blue and I love You
Even when the way is hard—I grow and feel Your hand divine
Remember me my Lord—Your gift of life is all I have and I am Yours

Speak to me in words that live—I have only me to give and that is not so much
You died for me and gave me gifts—Evil seeks to grab those gifts
I know they are meant for me—I cannot decree or change what I have
Only if I lay it down and I know that isn’t me—Jesus set me free

So what is it that stalks my path? Not a word from Thee
It is my enemy —seeking how he can slay me
Joy and peace are gifts you give—Your children have a right
To claim this bit of life—Today I claim for me Your offered victory

COURAGE SONG

All those nights in agony
Your crying made me steel
I heard your pain
It helped me fight and live
I scrapped each day and fought my way

Hearing your courage song
Within my heart I knew
My courage came from you
Too young to know so many things
Your will taught me to survive

Out of poverty to serve
Poor and helpless souls
Through all the nights of pain, alone
I sang your courage song

Now your life is nearing Him
Days are short and hard
But just remember every day
You shared His courage song.

WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN

Pain, pain it knows my name
Starts and stops and failures chop
It’s awfully hard to breathe
Evil is looking for me

Lean upon the Savior’s strength
His love will heal my soul
Joy grabbing hold
Jesus comforts me

Trials come and go
Days surprising toll
Jesus changes me
Salvation sets me free

Fear no longer controls
It has lost its strength
Jesus will not fail
His heart alive in me

Life is everyday
Never two in one
Today is what I have
Tomorrow never comes

Jesus take my life
Remind me how you love
Knowing all of me
Carry me in your victory

GOD HAS CALLED ON ME

God has called on me
Account for my time
All around the needy
Yet you still whine

Be the best that you can be
Face each day with joy
I love you and you love me
Your life is my pride and joy

Show your faith
By how you live
Show your strength
By how you give

Stand with those in need
You are blessed and true
Lift your hands to Me
I will take you through

Tell Me what you think
I will listen and hear
You have My Word
Use it to overcome fear

Every time you hurt
I will come to you
Every time you think it’s lost
I will encourage you

Victory is your companion
Victory is my pledge
Eternal life, eternal love
I’ll always be with You

GOD CARES

Wise and smart
On our way
Seeking to control
The One who is above and all

Beginning with
Who He is
And how He’ll rule our way
Even what He will say

Enough He said
Today I’m dead
Resurrection done
Now do you see My way?

As light to you
An image too
You have seen my face
Will you still live in disgrace?

Rescuing you from evil
I died to save your soul
Giving life new meaning and hope
Eternity has broken through

Now we can be friends
I’ve done the work for you
Ask me in and give Me your heart
I will take care of you

PLAN

God has a plan
It’s personal too
Exactly fitting
Me and you

Taking account
Of the gifts we have
Using the best
We are and can do

Waiting ever waiting
Jesus listens
For us to hear
He wants us near

Not hiding what He wants
He calls and calls
All we have to do
Is believe He loves us too

It may not seem important
It may not impress
Jesus plan for me
Is better than the rest

Stop worrying
Bend your knee
Jesus Christ will use you
And you will live free

Don’t, worry and can’t
Condemn you to pain
Will, be and now
Declares His value in you

You count
You can
Jesus holds your plan
Let Him have your hand

WHAT TO DO?

What to do
Help me God
If I knew
I could follow You

“Read My Word
Put to work
Let Me lead
It will not hurt”

Thank you Lord
I’ll think it through
Tomorrow comes
I’ll know you

“Wrong approach
Don’t change yourself
Bend your knee
Just follow Me”

Thank you Lord
Yes that’s good
I’m not sure
I’ve understood

“Listen, be
I’ll set you free
My load is light
I’ll be your delight”

Thank you Lord
Wow how great
I know just the thing
To keep me straight

“I love you
You count with Me
Come and see
Just be with ME”

Clay Corvin

PRAISE GOD WEAK AND GREAT

Praise God
Weak and great
Praise God
His pathway straight

Creating, loving
Praise His cleansing peace
Jesus brings joy
And us to His Father’s knee

Praise God for His concern
For His heavenly smell
“Follow ME” declared
“I always leave a trail

Praise God
He suffered and died
So that I could be
A child set free

Praise God
Who sets us free from failure
Heartache and pain and evil
And all its hideous pain

Praise God
Jesus is my Lord
An offered hand
He knows my pain

Praise God and Praise God
Lifting me up
Stands me at heaven’s gate
Then brings me in to live with Him
