I have been on the wrong path

Come up beside me, Lord,
lay Your hand upon me,
You know my struggles, Lord,
how I need You to heal me…
 
I have been on the wrong path,
though You gift me in each season,
You have given me the talents I need
for each step on my journey…
 
Walk with me, oh God,
let me be yoked with You,
lead me where I should go,
to live into my calling…
 
I have been on the wrong path,
complacent in the familiar,
I have not boldly gone where
You yourself would lead me…

God knows my pain

God knows my pain
every aspect of my struggle
God knows the harms against me
God knows my scar tissue…
 
God knows my pain
deep hurt that haunts me
God wants me to let go and
Give them to Him completely…
 
God knows my pain
but He wants to heal me fully
God reaches out His hand
through the person of Christ Jesus…
 
God knows my pain
He wants me to give it to Him
God alone can heal me
of the deep hurt within me…

Christ died to save me

Knowing my sin completely
Christ descended from heaven,
Christ died to save me
climbing my cross instead…
 
I do not earn salvation
Christ suffered God’s wrath for me,
I bow humbly before Him
my risen Savior and Lord…
 
Only through Him do I have salvation,
will I not have to suffer death,
only through the blood of Jesus
can I stand before Almighty God…

Christ took God’s Wrath

Christ took God’s Wrath
every sin I have committed
Christ lay down His life
and paid the debt for my sin…
 
Christ took God’s Wrath
and made a way for me,
a debt I could never repay,
Christ bought my forgiveness…
 
Christ took God’s Wrath
in a singular act of submission
Christ bore the cross for me
so I could stand before the Father…

God has always loved me

Before I existed, before Creation,
God has always loved me,
knowing every step of my life,
God is all omniscient, faithful,
God himself is love…
 
God has always loved me,
He chose to create me,
God took the clay of my flesh
God made a person of me,
God set me on my path…

Your unmerited favor
I am healed, restored
in You I am Redeemed…

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.

the light grows a little brighter – v2

feeling the seed growing

love of the Father

life, seasoning, salt

flavoring of the gifts

light in the darkness

light grows a little brighter

feeling the presence of God

love washing, overflowing

filling us with love, with light

offering others that blessing

living essence of God
