Only through Christ Jesus


Only through Christ Jesus
through our risen Lord and Savior
we are reconciled to God
to the source of all life.

Only through Christ Jesus
through His sacrifice for us
His living and dying
that we might live again.

Only through Christ Jesus
through His life, His resurrection
we are joined with Him
in rebirth, in new life,

Only through Christ Jesus
through the promise He gave us
we have a hope for a future
with our Father God in heaven above.

One Heart at a Time – v4

Like hungry seeds, thirsty souls
ready for God’s living waters
yearning, seeking after God
our ministry, our service
in this troubled world
our calling, our purpose
reaching out, reaching
planting seeds of love
in one heart at a time.
Reach out, seek, find
ways to touch even one heart
one person hurting, struggling,
spreading God’s love
Christ’s message, our hope,
to hearts that are ready
like hungry seeds, thirsty souls
ready for God’s living waters.

Into the Living Waters – v2

Following his call, the urging
the calling of God deep within him
throwing starfish back into the ocean
so many starfish, miles of beach
saving those he can, one at a time.

We each walk that beach
the world so vast, so lonely,
so many do not know
the indwelling of God’s Spirit,
the message of Jesus Christ.

Gently cast the starfish
back into the living waters
saving one at a time
accepting the grace of Christ
the ocean of God’s love.

Saving Starfish – v2

Following his calling,
felt deep within himself
what he feels told to do
saving starfish on the beach
returning them to life,
to the living waters
deep in God’s love.

The vastness of God’s love
walking the shoreline
taking them, one at a time
throwing them, giving them
back to the waters
fed within the living waters
deep in God’s love.

This One Will Live – v2

The voices, the world,
shouting, seeking to stop us
telling us the lies, the conceit,
that they are not worth saving
that it is not worth the effort;
so many starfish, so many miles
unable to change the world.

Ignoring the doubts,
the judgment of the world;
this one will live,
one life at a time
thrown into the sea;
toiling as he had been called
to save the starfish.

Called to the water’s edge
his purpose, his gift
his calling from the Spirit
casting the starfish
back into the sea;
Making a difference
one action at a time.

One Heart at a Time – v3

Like individual starfish
gathered up, thrown back into the sea
our ministry, our service
in this troubled world
reaching out, reaching
planting seeds of love
in one heart at a time.
Reach out, seek
ways to touch even one heart
spreading God’s love
like hungry seeds, thirsty souls
ready for God’s living waters.
