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
…
Lord Jesus, You have loved me
As no one else could do –
You came and died to save me
And make me one with You.
You daily guide and help me,
You strengthen me with grace,
You send such loving blessings
That show Your smiling face.
Now I can’t help but love You
My Savior, Friend, and King;
I bring my heart’s devotion
And lift my voice to sing.
