I Offer Up

I offer up to these moments and I offer up my days.
I offer up my words and I offer up my praise.
I  worship You. I  worship You.

I offer up my worries and I offer up my pain.
I offer up my wond'ring and I offer up my shame.
I worship You. I worship You.

I offer up my planning and I offer up my schemes.
I offer up my hopes and I offer up my dreams.
I worship You. I worship You.

You have me in your power, you hold my in your hand.
I'm safe within your loving arms, in You I'll take my stand.

Your love and mercy fill my heart,
Your grace has done its part.

Your peace and joy surround my soul.
Your words have made me whole.

I worship You....I worship You....

Sickness and Death

O Lord,
I know you are good.
I know you are loving.
I know you watch over us.
I know...

Hear my Prayer.
My heart is broken.
My mind is numb.
My body is in pain.

This path of sickness and death;
It is unfamiliar.
I don't want to be here.
I want off this path.

I submit to your mercy.
I sleep in your grace.
I will rest in your goodness.
I Will believe...

A Kid No More

Jesus, I don' want to be a kid anymore!
I know I will always be a child, before the Father;
But I want to grow up, I want to keep growing up.

You say you are my brother.
Jesus, I want to be your brother.
I want to live like your brother.


Thank you for your patience with me.
Thank you for your mercy on me.
Thank you for sticking up for me.

Help me be an adult.
A mature member of the family.
Help me be prepared for eternity.

Rain

O Lord, soak me in your heavenly rain.
Let every fiber of my being be drenched in your love and mercy.
Let the power of your presence satisfy my soul like the morning dew.
Wash me your cleansing stream.
My my sin be wiped away like a flood in the desert.
My my thirst be satisfied by your living water.
My you sooth my troubled soul with your healing fountain.
My you overwhelm me like a waterfall.

The Land of Famine

O Lord, I am living in the land of famine.
I didn't see the signs?
I ignored the signs?
I refused to see the signs?
O Lord, I have no foresight
and my hindsight has grown fuzzy.

I am at your mercy.
You alone know the motivations of my heart.
But, I have never refused to go where you have directed.
I have been as generous as I know how to be.
When I have seen a person in need I have helped them to the best of my ability.
I have carried some even after I should have let them go.
I have given of my time and resources to invest in your kingdom.

You do not refuse anyone forgiveness.
Those who repent stand inside you arms of protection and mercy.
You love to provide for your children.
O Lord, forgive my selfish heart, I repent of my trusting in self,
I am your child, bless me Father or I will die in this land of famine.

You are faithful, and I will bless your name.
You are faithful, and I will count your blessings.
You are faithful, I will accept your crushing and your discipline.
You are faithful, do not hide your face from me.
You are faithful, I will put my hope in you.
You are faithful, I will wait for the rain and the manna of your blessing.

Have Mercy

O Lord, my sin is every before me;
have mercy on me.
That which I know is right to do
slips through my grasp like holding onto the wind.
That which I know is wrong
clings to my like a bur on a horses mane.
Surround me by your presence.
Seal my mind from wondering destructive paths.
Have mercy on me.
Capture my heart so it will be true to you
and not its evil intent.
Have mercy on me.
Let my eyes focus on you the Almighty.
Let my ears hear the whisper of your Spirit.
Have mercy on me.
Let  my wondering cease
that I may journey with you,
My Friend, my Savior, My God.
