All that is good in me – v3

All that is good in me
is from You, oh God;
All that I do righteously
comes from You, my Lord.

All that I do on my own
is evil in Thy sight;
All that I do righteously
comes from the Hand of God.

on the receiving end – v3

Humbled by their generosity,
being on the receiving end of grace;
Offering themselves fully,
giving more than I can describe

Humbly accepting
the gifts that they offered
from open hearts;
Wanting them to know my gratitude
at their outpouring of love.

without You I have nothing – v2

My life, my treasure
my family, my friends
any status I have achieved
in the eyes of men;
Without You I have nothing
I do no true good;
Only with You, my Maker
do I do any good at all.

listen to the Spirit - 2

listen to the Spirit
the voice within you
keeping you on the path
God has planned for you
listen to the Spirit
the Advocate, Counselor,
guiding your human feet
on the path set before you.

wrapped in sugar – v2

memory may fail me
but help me to be authentic
my history real
not wrapped in sugar
open before God

may the truth be told
so others may see You
how You claimed me
that I may love
that I may share Your love

only because You loved me
completely, truly,
more than I could ever say
love without merit
redeeming my life

loving me, forgiving me
though I have hurt You
though my sins sent You to the cross
wash me with Your blood
make me whole once more

wrapped in sugar – v2

Memory may fail me
but Lord help me to be authentic
my history real
not wrapped in sugar
honest before You
when I come to You in prayer
as I live out my life

May the truth be told
my need for You completely
Your plan for my life
and the mess I have made of it
so others may see You
how You claimed me
that others may see Christ

I am a Christian, I am saved
only because You loved me
completely, truly,
more than I could ever say
love without merit
that I may love, truly,
only because You loved me first

You love me without condition
whatever I may do
loving me, forgiving me
though I have hurt You
though I sent You to the cross
Lord, wash me with Your blood
make me whole once more

Gentle in rebuke

we must be gentle in rebuke
loving in correction
because we have all fallen short
we all sin, we all rebel
we must correct our neighbor
our sister, our brother
but we must not judge them
the difference is important
because we all will be judged
we must forgive
as Christ forgives us.

out of love – v4

discipline in balance
out of love, patient,
knowing because
we have been there
learning the hard way
as we all seem to do

showing grace quickly
forgiveness as well
not wavering from the path
the way of love
life in the telling
this story we know so well.
