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,
And ready for the fight.
Let those who’ve wandered stop to think
And see how far they roam,
Then as the prodigal come back
To hear Your “Welcome home!”
…
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.
…
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That’s seen Your love anew
I lift a song of joyful praise
For all I’ve seen You do
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That overflows today
With all the goodness of Your care
That keeps me in the way
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That knows Your mighty Name
With all the glory of Your grace
This child of Yours can claim
…
I’m thankful for the times the Lord
Has told me “Yes, but wait.”
His wisdom knows what’s best for me
And never shows up late.
I’m thankful for the times He’s said
A firm but loving, “No.”
How could I doubt His loving heart
When Jesus loves me so?
I’m thankful for the many times
The Lord has told me, “Yes.”
He loves to give the things I ask
And show His faithfulness.
…
Lord Jesus, in your mercy
You came to earth for me;
You left your perfect splendor
With all your majesty.
You took a human body,
Felt hunger, cold, and pain,
Were hated and rejected,
And felt temptation’s strain.
Yet all the time you bore it
Without the least complaint –
No sinful thoughts or motives
Broke through your self restraint.
…
For grace that’s all sufficient
For mercy ever new
For love that’s everlasting
I lift my heart to You
For truth that never changes
For peace that reigns within
For guidance from Your Spirit
For pardon for my sin
For blessings so abundant
For sleep and daily bread
For promises enduring
For paths where I’ve been led
…
