God’s Love for Me

God’s love for me is boundless –
It’s deeper than the sea
And won’t run out no matter
How much He does for me.

God’s love for me is endless –
It never fades away.
He’ll always truly love me
Forever and a day.

God’s love for me is changeless –
No matter what I do
He sets His love upon me
Each day again like new.
…

I’ll Use What God Has Given

I’ll use the voice God gave me
To praise His holy Name,
I’ll use the tongue He gave me
To spread His worthy fame.

I’ll use the hands God gave me
To serve the Lord today,
I’ll use the feet He gave me
To walk in heaven’s way.

I’ll use the mind God gave me
To think on things above,
I’ll use the heart He gave me
To learn and share His love.
…

The One I Will Praise

God orders my steps with compassion,
His mercies are new every day;
He knows what will come and prepares me,
He teaches my heart what to pray.

His goodness is strong and unfailing,
His faithfulness flows from above,
His grace is more sure than the mountains,
He anchors my hope in His love.

There’s no one so kind and so patient,
His holiness shines like the sun;
He showers my path with His blessings
And meets all my needs one by one.
…

What Faith Is

Faith isn’t empty wishing
For what you’d like to see;
It isn’t simply guessing
The things you think will be.

Faith isn’t boldly stepping
To do the things you please,
Expecting God to back you
In thrilling feats or ease.

No, faith is shown in knowing
The things you can’t yet see
Then living like you’ve seen them
In hope believingly.

It’s staking all in trusting
The Word of God is true
And living like His promise
Is good enough for you.

True faith is full believing –
No backups, no plan B –
Because you’re really certain,
“My God comes through for me.”

A gift of God the Spirit,
In Scripture’s light it grows;
Faith gives you lasting triumph
And shields you from your foes.

Hebrews 11:1, 6; Galatians 5:22; 1 John 5:4; Ephesians 6:16

All We Need

When Pharoah’s heart was hardened
Against the Lord’s command,
He made the labor harder
Of those who built his land.
He told the weary Hebrews
That they must gather straw;
“Go find your own,” he told them
And made his hatred law.

Unlike the wicked Pharoah,
God gives His children tasks
And then provides materials
For anything He asks.
He gives the strength that’s needed,
The grace to make it through;
Provides for each assignment
And shows us what to do.

Lord, thank You for Your kindness
Providing all we need,
And giving us such mercy
In all that You’ve decreed.
Please help us serve with gladness
And praise You day by day
For guiding and providing
In such a gracious way.

“According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue:” 2 Peter 1:3

What Will You Choose?

Each day we face a simple choice
For darkness or for light,
For life or death, for truth or lies,
To do what’s wrong or right.

In Eden, too, the choice was made
To trust the Lord or not;
They ate the fruit, chose death and pain –
And that was what they got.

But Jesus came and took our death
To offer life once more;
Now you must choose it for yourself
For He’s the only door.

And then each day we face a choice
Of who we will believe –
God leads us right and offers life
But Satan will deceive.

So choose God’s path and trust His Word
To guide you in the light;
In time you’ll find that in the end
The Lord is always right.

An Instrument of Praise

We do not praise an instrument
As if it made itself
Or think it did some wondrous thing
In coming off the shelf

But just the same we don’t ignore
It’s craftsmanship and skill
The beauty of its sound and form
That make the spirit thrill

So we are not to seek esteem
Or covet earth’s parade
But neither should we shrink from view
And hide what God has made

Whatever good another sees
In what we are and do
Is praise to God’s own artistry
As seen through me and you

Christina Joy Hommes

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. … For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. .. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.”

Matthew 5:16; Ephesians 2:10; Romans 12:1; Philippians 1:11

With Me Day and Night

The Lord is with me day and night
So nothing needs to cause me fright;
He sees in darkness as in light
So I can trust He’ll lead me right.

When storm clouds rise and tempests blow
To God my refuge, safe I’ll go;
His mighty strength they grandly show
But cannot crush me here below.

By waters still and pastures green
On God’s provision I will lean
Enjoying blessings pure and clean,
Rejoicing in the good I’ve seen.

The Lord has been so good to me
His grace and mercy set me free,
In every gift His hand I see
Who keeps me through eternity.

The Time God Chose for Me

God plugged me into history
For such a time as now –
This moment is the one He chose
To use me here somehow.

The devil wants to make a wreck
Of all the Lord had planned,
But Jesus called me out by grace
To show His mighty hand.

I must not waste this hour He gave,
This life is short, I know;
Eternal things redeem the time
With heaven’s work below.

I won’t let worry steal away
The time God gives today;
I’ll trust the Lord is in control
And boldly live and pray.

I will not wait for sunny skies –
Today is all that’s mine;
With just one life to live for God,
I’ll serve Him rain or shine.

For it’s my hour – the time God set
And chose for me to live;
Lord, help me do the work You’ve planned
With grace and strength You’ll give.

Help Me Be a Burning Bush

Lord, help me be a burning bush
You’ve come to set aflame,
That by Your Holy Spirit’s pow’r
I’ll magnify Your Name.

Let those who know Your Name rejoice
And come away alight –
Renewed, stirred up, encouraged, loved,
Recharged to do what’s right.

Let those who’ve wandered stop and see
How far from You they roam,
Then as the prodigal come back
To hear Your “Welcome home!”

Let those who haven’t come to Christ
Be drawn to what they see,
For as your glory fills their soul
You’ll set their spirit free.

Lord, make my life a burning bush,
A place where You can shine,
To lift the Name of Jesus high
And show Your grace divine.

Christina Joy Hommes

Until the Time That God Ordains

Death cannot have a man of God
However hard it tries
Before the time that God appoints
And then His servant dies

Let Pharaoh rise or Herod fear
The babe will live and grow
Let lions come and giants rise
They’ll fall before his blow

Let famine strike or sickness spread
God keeps him safely through
Let mobs cast stones or shipwrecks come
His strength is always new

Let storms arise and councils plot
He’s safe as he can be
Until the time that God ordains
To grant him victory

Christina Joy Hommes

“Then they sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him, because His hour was not yet come.” John 7:30

By Ways I Have Not Known

By ways I have not known
Yet known to God in grace,
He leads me to His throne
Along this winding race.

I cannot see ahead
But trust His loving hand
And follow where I’m led
Before I understand.

He leads me by the way
Best suited to His end,
And though I often stray
Is still my faithful Friend.

For by His wisdom’s skill
He knows what’s right and best;
Delighting in His will
My heart finds joyful rest.

Without Him I am lost,
But He has bought my peace
And at the highest cost
Secured my soul’s release.

So I am glad to leave
My welfare to His love
Assured that I’ll receive
Rich recompense above.

“Shew me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day.” Psalms 25:4-5

“And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.” Isaiah 42:16

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

“For we walk by faith, not by sight:” 2 Corinthians 5:7

Doing What I Know

Lord, help me do the things I know
To live like Jesus would –
The things You teach me in Your Word
Are holy, right, and good.

I want to build my life each day
On solid rock, not sand,
So when life’s troubles come like storms
My faith will firmly stand.

Your Word reveals what I should change –
A mirror for my heart;
I’ll stop and fix the things I see
And do the work You start.

I won’t just hear the things You say,
I’ll live them day by day;
Please help me do the things I know,
And bless me, Lord, I pray.
