Look At The Birds

-

 
 

(A song for my Mother who always reminds me to "Look at the Birds")

Look at the birds
Watch them fly
Higher and higher 
Into the blue sky

They neither plant
Nor harvest their food
But your Father in Heaven
Knows what to do

Daily bread
O, from His loving Hand
Just what they need
When they need it
Mercy pours again and again

Grace today
O, from His loving Heart
Always on time
Always enough
Just look at the birds




Look at the birds
Hear their songs
Filling the darkness
With hope for the dawn

And even if one
Of the sparrows should fall
Your Father in Heaven
He knows it all

Every day
Written in His book
Every sorrow
And every joy
Comes through His Hand

Every Tear
In His heart held dear
For He is close
To the broken and crushed
Just look at the birds



Look at the birds
See their nest
A home of wood 
And hay for rest

You may wonder
Why now they have more
Know your Father has
Much more in store

Heavenly rest
For He prepares Your home
At the Golden Shore
Who could ask for more
Press on to the end!

Eternal joy
That can never fade
Though we sorrow now
We shall rejoice
In that day

 

Daily bread
O, from His loving Hand
Just what we need
When we need it
Mercy pours again and again

Grace today
O, from His loving Heart
Always on time
Always enough
Just look at His Word



Every day
Written in His book
Every sorrow
And every joy
Comes through His hand

Every tear
In His heart held dear
For He is close 
To the broken and crushed
Just look at His Word



Heavenly Rest
For He prepares your home
At the Golden Shore
Who could ask for more
Press on to the end!

Eternal joy
That can never fade
Though we sorrow now
We shall rejoice 
Just look at His Word

Though we sorrow now
We shall rejoice
Just look at the birds

The Everlasting Word

  Lift your eyes now, O my soul See the One who fights for you When your sin is all you see Lift your eyes to Calvary For there the Everlasting Word--- The Son of God and Son of Man Stretched out His hands and died In my place was crucified Lift your eyes now, O my soul Trust the One who died for you Though Jesus died there all alone You were crucified there too What mystery of faith is found Hidden in God’s eternal Word That when Jesus took my sin My flesh was also nailed to Him   Lift your eyes now, O my soul Praise the One whose Word stands firm For He is risen from the grave Exalted to the highest place For He is powerful and true Full of grace and rich in mercy What He says is what He’ll do All His promises are true       Lift your eyes now, O my soul Rest in the One who stands for you Though Satan shoots His fiery darts You are Hidden in Christ’s Heart For the everlasting love Of the Lord shall have no endi

Through the Sea

1. I step out on the shifting tides of time Tides of time The Savior walks to me  And bids me "Come" And I walk upon the waves As the Son fills up my gaze Yes, I walk upon the waves of my storms Of my storms As the Savior takes my hand and leads me on 2. And though the waters rise o'er my soul O'er my soul The Savior's presence near holds me fast And I face the waves that crash For my soul to Christ is lashed Yes, I face the waves that crash over me  Over me As the Savior holds me fast in His love 3. So I journey on my way through the sea Through the sea Though wind and waves and storms wash over me I am safe within my Rock In His wounds I shall abide As I journey on my way to my home To my home Where my Savior, Jesus, waits for me   (Written February 2023)

You Alone Are All

VERSE ONE     I am the sinner The one at the well And Jesus has told me  All that I've done Nothing is hid from his eyes As all of my life  Is brought into His light CHORUS Here at the cross I fall Lord you alone are all All that I need All that I want ALL THAT I HAVE Your love has met me here  In the midst of my pride and tears Now I'm washed in Christ's blood Seated above With Jesus my King VERSE TWO I'm the blind beggar The one by the road Calling to Jesus to show mercy alone And Jesus draws near to my soul He carries my sorrows In him I'm made whole CHORUS TWO Here at the cross I find Mercy and grace to rise Rise up from my fears  In the midst of my tears To my Father draw near You gave your life for me So that I can be Be born again Into life without end Into life knowing you BRIDGE And you are my ALL Before you I fall Humbly rejoicing in grace In you I find  My reason to rise And joyfully sing out your praise (x2)   (Written December 26, 2019)
