His Arms

Standing in the glow of redemption
Basking in brilliant glory
The glow of joy fills me
I am a product of that glorious story

He came and called out my name
And said it was for me He died
Saying I was so sorry sweet Jesus
I fell humbled to my knees and cried

Standing in the glow of redemption
Praise God His call was not ignored
Now forgiven the glow of joy fills me
Safe in the arms of the Lord.

Hillside Of Faith

He sat on the hillside
Whispering a humble prayer
He said with joy I love You Lord
I don’t see You but I know You are there
For there was a time he felt alone
His heart in such a bad place
When he would gaze upon his reflection
There would be sorrow etched on his face
The look of his world had that same image
On the hillside he cried out for it to end
The voice of God spoke to his heart
Told him “come I am your Savior and your friend”
Now on the hillside with joy
He goes to the Lord in prayer
He kneels before the throne and whispers
I don’t see You but I know You are there.

Hear Him

The precious Word of God
So living and so true
Speaks to my heart with clarity
When after prayer I seek what I must do
His perfect plan laid out so clearly
The Gospel the way to enter in
The old and new testaments tell of Jesus
The perfect sacrifice for our sin
Eternity with Him our reward
Christs footsteps are the path
Shout praise to a merciful God
Who sent Jesus to suffer His wrath
My brother why do you worry
Why spend your days with an outlook so dim
Go to the precious Word of God
Read, pray, hear Him.

He Hears

All our cares and worries
Welcomed by a God who hears
A God who loves and cares for us
Who casts away all fears
All we had to be concerned for
He took upon Himself on that tree
Now calls out to those who still need Him
“Turn around, come back home to me”

He Called

Humbled by the love,
my Father has shown
Filled with the grace
He does give
For I once dead in my sin,
till He called
Through the sacrifice of the Son
now I live

Thankful for the mercy,
my Father has shown
Filled with His Spirit
on which I thrive
For until that moment
He called my name
I was dead,
now I am alive.
