Good Shepherd

I am a lamb of Jesus Christ
That wondered from my home;
I should've stayed back with the flock
Now I must walk alone.

I hear the Master calling me
My lamb your faith is true;
Your walk will be much longer now
But I will walk with you.

Oh, little lamb with dirty wool
And eyes so full of tears;
Come now let me carry you
With me you need not fear.

Good Shepherd is my name dear lamb
It's me you had to seek;
I'm your strength when sin is near
With me you're never weak.

Come now little lamb of God
I'll cleanse you white as snow;
Though others judge your tattered wool
Your heart I truly know.

Go in peace now little lamb
But listen very still;
My voice you'll always recognize
And forever, always will.

You were blinded by the dark
But now your eyes can see;
Though lost, I came and picked you up
And held you close to me.

Now go and do the Fathers will
You're clean now little lamb;
Lock me in your heart and soul
"Good Shepherd" is who "I AM."

A Flower Among the Weeds

In the garden of life there's much to see
The beauty grown from God's own seed;
I saw one single flower stand
In the midst of many different weeds.

Though out of place it boldly stood
To greet the morning sky;
This tiny flower among the weeds
Knew God was standing by.

This little flower had no fear
As it opened to the light;
For it was with the Father now
No weeds could block its sight.

With faith it reached up to the Lord
So excited and full of love;
Though weeds had tried to choke it off
God protected it from above.

God provided living water
To nourish this flower on the ground;
It's standing tall and strong today
Though, the weeds are still around.

The roots were strongly anchored
Its faith was real and true;
The weeds had been defeated
Where this tiny flower grew.

So when you're walking through the garden
Be sure to plant God's seeds;
And always be a flower
Not one of many weeds.

Fix Your Eyes on Jesus

Fix your eyes on Jesus
Every minute of every day;
The negative that burdens you
Cast it all His way.

God's grace and awesome mercy
He unconditionally gives to you;
Please clear your mind and focus now
On the love Christ has for you.

Please, seek the face of Jesus Christ
When fear has weighed you down;
See His face before you now
When your knees fall to the ground.

Keep in mind that He's the one
We live for ever day;
Your truest faith-no questions asked
He'll light your darkest way.

Plant Jesus in your heart and mind
Think only of His face;
Focus on eternity
And living in His grace.

No it isn't easy
To put faith above it all;
So grab the hand of Jesus Christ
He will lift you when you fall.

He never leaves your side my friend
He feels your pain and fear;
He'll wrap His arms around you
Whisper, "fear not, my child I'm here."

The human flesh deceives up
States "I want, I need, I feel;"
Replace the "I" with Jesus
And your heart my Lord will steal.

When God created you dear friend
It's sure not hard to miss;
That when you were completed
God sealed you with a kiss.

So when you pray to God tonight
Your heart will start to sing;
When in fact you learn the truth
That you're the child of a King!

Father-Lord-Almighty-God

When I see our nation's flag
I see more than red and blue;
I see my Jesus sent from God
Who died for me and you.

The stars I see are Bethlehem
The night Christ came to earth;
A tiny manger in a barn
Began my Savior's birth.

The Blue I see behind the stars
Are tears my Jesus cried;
For a lost and sinful nation
For this, our Savior died.

The stripes of red they represent
The blood my Jesus shed;
The scars he wore across His back
Yet, quietly He stood.

The stripes of white they represent
Christ risen from the grave;
Conquering Satan, death and sin
The world my Jesus saved.

The flag of stars, red, white, and blue
When lifted way up high;
Reminds me of the mountain top
Where Jesus stood and cried.

Now, when you see our nation's flag
See more than red and blue;
Remember, Jesus, Son of God
Was crucified for me and you.

Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit
I pray you come to me;
Please fill this Holy temple
Great one of Trinity.

Holy Spirit of my God
I pray you hear me call;
To you My Holy Majesty
I now surrender all.

Holy Spirit take me now
My heart, I pray you fill;
Use me as an instrument
For God's most awesome will.

Holy Spirit Heaven sent
My comforter today;
Temptation heavy at my feet
Please lead me back your way.

Holy Spirit stay with me
Please speak God's word today;
To ears that long to hear the truth
And seek the narrow way.

Holy Spirit gift of God
Please never leave me here;
Consume my soul forever
With you I have no fear.

My House Built on the Rock

I'll build my house upon the Rock
My Rock is Jesus Christ;
The cornerstone of every man
Son of God most highest.

My Rock is very firm and still
He doesn't sink or sway;
He never changes with the time
He doesn't fall away.

My house will stay upon this Rock
I'll grow here every day;
Like on a mountain top so high
The world seems far away.

When I walk into the sand
It's here I start to sink;
My feet are so unstable
I then become real weak.

I then cry out for Jesus Christ
He leads me back to solid ground
Forgives me then for leaving Him
Says up here I'll never drown.

This is why I tell you friend
Of Jesus Christ my Rock;
He always keeps me in His sight
In my heart is where He's locked.

So when I feel I need a friend
The world is out of sight;
I turn my eyes on Jesus Christ
The everlasting light.

My house will say upon this Rock
Built solid, I will not fret;
For Jesus is my cornerstone
Yes, He's my safety net!

Stormy Days

Life is like a rainstorm
Falling down on me;
The puddle seems to get so deep
And clouds are all I see.

I know I must find shelter
To keep me safe from harm;
I feel as if I'm drowning
And holding up one arm.

I want to seek God's kingdom first
This is my belief;
My Jesus will be coming soon
To give me some relief.

Then with the purest faith it's true
The rain clouds clear the sky;
And when I look down to the ground
My puddle now is dry.

The Truth Will Set You Free

My faith is in God's mercy
To bind my flesh and sin;
My deeds as good as filthy rags
I run the race to win.

My Jesus talks to Father God
I know He pleads my case;
He then begins to cheer me on
With compassion and God's grace.

My crown is up in Heaven
It's there my treasures stored;
In the hands of Royal Majesty
Jesus Christ my Lord.

My first love is Jesus
With His greatness deep inside;
When sin is knocking at my door
It's in Christ I run and hide.

Though fear will come to greet you
Confess the truth and see;
When you make a wrong a right
The Lord will set you free.

A wounded soul in grief and pain
But the truth is plain to see;
Yes, He's my witness for today
The truth has set me free.

Dear friends they now reject me
The truth chose not to see;
I wear the blame of sin today
But Jesus stood by me.

As I forgive my brothers
For words that were not true;
I hope they find deep in their heart
That they forgive me, too.

I'll carry my cross throughout each day
And in my sufferings will rejoice;
Knowing through the storm He's here
Yes, I can hear His voice.

When Jesus says He loves me
His words are true and bound;
He's the one that I believe
His truth is what I've found.

Now, the race I will keep running
Truth I'll never hide or bend;
Because I have my Jesus Christ
My witness and my friend.

Do You Know Jesus?

Jesus is the Son of God
Messiah to the world;
Prince of Peace, His Majesty
He's Gods own Living Word.

Good Shepherd of God's precious flock
The King of every king;
Intercessor of our lives
To Him the angels sing.

Alpha and Omega
He's the First and Last my friend;
He's the Quenching Water
The Beginning and the End.

He's the Radiance of God's glory
He's the Victory over sin;
He's the one that's knocking friend
And waiting to come in.

Jesus is a shield
His words are as a sword;
Yes, He is the Great "I AM"
He is the Lord of lords.

Jesus is God's Living Truth
He's the Everlasting Light;
Christ the Author of our life
All He does is right.

If you know Christ Jesus
Then you know the Father, too;
Keep in mind He's coming back
He's prepared a place for you.

His Kingdom is Eternity
Where night exists no more;
So when you hear Him knocking
Open up your door.

Communing With the Father

Alone I sit outside today
My face up to the sky;
Surrounded by creation
All worries pass me by.

The stress of worldly problems
Seem as a far off dream;
For now I'm with the Father
As I lay beside the stream.

I see my Fathers reflection
In the water where I lay;
The brilliance of His Majesty
True love He does portray.

My Father always talks to me
Through the gentle blowing breeze;
I hear His softest whisper
As it passes through the trees.

My Father, He embraces me
With sunshine on my skin;
With the radiance of Heaven
It warms my soul within.

My Father fills my senses
With a fragrance pure and sweet;
The flowers from His garden
That He grew beneath my feet.

He surrounds me with a choir
Of birds that sing His praise;
I've never heard such harmony
With such tender, calming grace.

The butterflies are gathering
The deer peer through the trees;
The squirrels stop to look at me
With no attempt to flee.

I thought my Father's creation
Was what He wanted me to see;
But, in fact, He's showing them
That He created me.

You'll know the Father is with you
In all His glory and His grace;
Just listen for the breeze to blow
And the "Son" will touch your face.

Keeper of the Sheep

God has called upon you
To be keeper of His sheep;
To keep His flock from roaming
On the ground where Satan creeps.

You see a sign of weakness
You fall down and you pray;
Oh, Lord, you lamb has wandered
Please help him find his way.

Though every sheep is now content
Except this burdened one;
You turn your heart to Heaven
And cry out to God's Son.

Oh, Jesus, please protect him
Though the wanders in the night;
Alone and in confusion
Please shine your guiding light.

The wolves off in the distance
Are howling with delight;
Your heart begins to ache in pain
This sheep is not in sight.

The search has now began
To find this little lamb;
You won't give up until you have
This sheep back in your hands.

Way off in the distance
You hear a cry of fear;
You know you're getting closer
That little lamb is near.

But woe the wolves have circled
This frail and weakened lamb;
You walk right through the danger
And lift him in your hands.

As you embrace this lost one
With tender love and care;
You know deep in your heart and soul
Twas saved from Satan's snare.

The flocks now filled with joy
As they begin to weep;
Oh, thank you God in Heaven
For your keeper of the sheep.

As God prepares a place for us
In Heaven with His Son;
He knew as keeper of His sheep
He trusted you, dear one.
