Reflect on your salvation,

embrace the joy doing so brings.

 

Joy Of The Spirit

Salvation mine He has called me

Saved from eternity in hell

To be with Him forever

On this promise I will dwell

 

I will love Him with all my heart

Sing songs of glory and praise

Keep my eyes fixed on the cross

Follow Him all of my days

 

For He showers me with abundant grace

To I one so unworthy He longs to give

Oh to know this wonderful joy

That only His Spirit can give.

Psalm 71:23 My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

Go Out Singing Praises Everywhere of the Lord

 

Tears Of Joy

I read Your word in quiet solitude

And the joy does truly increase

Truly meditating on what You did

That I may have this peace

The peace of salvation through Your sacrifice

  With love I wipe a tear from my eye

Overwhelmed knowing that out of love my Lord

So that I may live, You would choose to die.

John 15:10-11 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love,

 just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you,

and that your joy may be full.

A Little Bit More

As the sun goes down

At the end of the day

I fall to my knees

I begin to pray

I thank my God

For all He has done

I thank Him for His Spirit

And the sacrifice of His Son

For my salvation

Making me a new man

Just the fact alone

He made me part of His plan

And as I close my eyes

I say Lord, when this night is through

  When I awake I have become

A little bit more like You.

1Peter 2:21  For to this you have been called,

because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you might follow in his steps.

Nothing In Return

When I think of what amazing love

Giving Your life to save me

Punished, crucified, placed in a tomb

Just so I could be free

 

You arose in full glory

Sit at God’s right hand in heaven above

Praise you for my salvation, and Your example

To give glory to God in the way that I love

 

To follow God’s will for others in my life

Take God’s word and use what I learn

To give love the way that You did

Freely and expect nothing in return

Family And Friends

Lord I come to you in prayer

At the beginning of a new day

I ask You pour out Your blessings

Upon these for whom I pray

With Your love flows through me

A love that never ends

 I pray for friends who are my family

And family who are my friends.
