Rescued for Possession

Oh Jesus, Jesus I love You.
I want to gaze upon Your beauty, to sit at your feet.
I love being so near to You and to know You love me.
You are my help and my refuge; You cover me with feathers.
Under Your wings I find refuge;                                                                 Your faithfulness is my shield and rampart.                                                              
Jesus I come only wanting You, to be near You.
To hold Your hands, kiss Your cheek, I put my loving arms around You as You hold me close to Your heart.
No other place I would rather be than to be held by You, no other place than close to You.                                                                                      You love me and sing rejoicing over me, I am Your delight!
 

Oh Jesus, Jesus I love You.
What does it cost to follow Jesus but my life.
Oh Jesus, the rich life You give, I am blessed!
Greater are You that is in me than he that is in the world.
Rescued from the fowlers snare, You give eternal life and salvation.
All Your goodness You bestow on me, Your love, Your joy and peace.

You are more than I could ask or imagine.
I am filled with an inexpressible joy!
I love being so near to You, Hold me tight, hold me near.
Oh Jesus, Jesus I love You.
My love and devotion I give to You.

 

Come As Little Children

The little children come to Me.
They move about without much thought,
And say what is on their heart.

These little children with inquisitive minds,
They look and examine what is Mine ~
the hair, the clothes, the hands and feet.

All their thoughts are about play and say,
"Jesus, will You come play with me?"
As we play ~
we run and jump, dance and twirl.
Oh what fun we have!

Each gives a kiss to say goodbye,
My heart wells up inside.
I pray to the Father.
As they grow in age,
Keep their hearts strong,
May they always return to Me!

Matt. 18:3

Now I See

                                                                                                   

As people passed,

“Who is this Jesus?” I asked.

Then He came to me.

Jesus touched Me,

Now I see!

“I am the Light of the world.” He proclaimed,

“Do you believe?”

Falling to my knees,

Confessing, “Lord, I believe.”

Though I was blind, now I see!

Spiritually blind,

I could not see.

Jesus touched me

The soul and spirit,

Renewed my mind and quickened my heart.

A wonderful life He gave to me

For all eternity.

May the work of God

Be displayed in my life.

He touched me, now I see!

Awaken Love

AWAKEN LOVE!

His loving arms embrace,
In Him find rest.
Joy and peace He gives,
And says “You, I bless.”

Honor Him Lord and King.
On bended knees bow,
Love He pours out
Grace and mercy abounds.

Hunger for Him!
Desire His closeness,
His love penetrating your heart.
Passionately fall in love with Him.

Released - Psalms 42

My soul wages war within
I cry out to God
"Help me, Lord, with this battle"
My Lord replies, "Release this battle from within, give it to Me."

Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy......
This is why my battles rage within!
But God is my victory;
To Him I submit.
With songs of praise brings
Release within as My God claims victory.
Calmness and peace come.
He puts a new song in my heart.

Released!
I lift Him up
To God be the Glory!
For You are my God.
Glory! Glory! Glory!

Brothers and Sisters in Christ As One

Become one, unite.
Enter this new life
Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Becoming one, united.

A given hope through the cross,
Jesus died for us.
Love came down from heaven above
Touched the soul, heart, and mind
To become one with Him.

Glory to God.
His majesty reigns
Now and forever more!
Brothers and Sisters united we are
Christ binding our hearts.....
Together we unite.

He is our firm foundation
Rooted and grounded in Him.
The resurrected life we will
See for all eternity,
Being one, united.

If Only I Could Hold His Hand

If only I could hold His hand.

Many miles He walked.
He never grumbled or complained,
But went about His Father's work.
I wanted to run to Him and take His hand.
People followed so many followers!
How would I ever be able to hold His hand?
He was in such great demand.
Oh, if I could only hold His hand.

Here He comes!
His eyes fixed on mine.
Before me He stands with outstretched hands and says,
Come, hold my hand, walk with Me, and be by My side.
By His side I walked and held His hand.
Many were drawn to Him and asked
Who is this man?
My heart full of joy, I could say,
This is Jesus!  His name is Jesus!

Crucify Him! Crucify Him!
What is happening?
I could not see.
Who do they want to Crucify?
I saw many who followed as I
But they were angry and yelling
Crucify Him!
I need to see! I must get through!

My eyes filled with tears
And pain in my heart.
I knelt down and wept.
This could not be!
This is Jesus! This is Jesus! I shouted.
No one could hear.
I cried and whispered,
If only I could hold His hand.

The opposition and ridicule that came;
How would He bear?
They took Him away!
Jesus. How could this be?

They nailed Him to a tree.
What my eyes saw I could not believe.
They have beaten and bruised Him.
Blood spilled from His body.
My pain too great,
I remembered the time I held His hand.
Questions in my mind,
I gazed upon His face.
With love and compassion,
He whispered,  I love you.
Oh, Jesus if only I could hold Your hand.

They took Him from that tree
And laid Him in a tomb.
My heart broken,
Tears continue to flow.
The wrong that was done!

Wonderful news!
He arose and conquered death!
Going to the tomb
I had to see!
Inside I found
Hope, joy and peace because
He is alive!

Jesus, if only I can hold Your hand.
