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 ending
Though I fear my faith should fail
His perfect power shall prevail

For now the Everlasting Word---
The Son of God and Son of Man
Is lifted high to be
 My Savior for eternity

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)
