Together

-->

I will draw you close, never let you go

I will draw you close so that you will know

I will not forsake you,  I will never leave

Our souls are one, in the One in whom we both believe

Together God will weave us, together we are one

This world will not deceive us when the day is done

We will be together and together we will thrive

And we will draw together as long as we`re alive

You`ll draw close to me, I`ll draw close to you

Our bond is not of bondage, it sets us free to do

All that the Lord has called us for, beyond what we can dream

For we have found a love that’s found in the Love supreme

Together God will weave us , together we are one

Ths world will not deceive us when the day is done

We will be together and together we will thrive

And we will draw together as long as we`re alive…

Glory to His Name!

Here at the cross where my Savior died,
Here where for cleansing from sin I cried,
Here to my heart is the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!

Come and be wondrously saved from sin,
Christ will forever abide within,
Come to the cross, He will take you in;
Glory to His Name!

Refrain:
Glory to the Name of Jesus,
Glory to His Name!
Here at the cross he saves and frees us
Glory to His Name!

Christ is the fountain, salvations stream
Drink of your fill now and be redeemed
Here Jesus saves us and keeps us clean;
Glory to His Name!

Come to the fount at the mercy seat,
Come cast your soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His Name!

Refrain:
Glory to the Name of Jesus,
Glory to His Name!
Here at the cross he saves and frees us
Glory to His Name!
Glory to the Name of Jesus,
Glory to His Name!
Here at the cross he saves and frees us
Glory to His Name!

Sinkiller

Search me oh Lord and shed your light

Upon the pillars of my sin

Give me strength and grace to fight

And bring the ceiling crashing in

Show those pillars sharp and clear

Their columns holding up my walls

This fortress built of sins and fears

Rain down on it until it falls

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just

to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse

us from all that is unrighteous.

Reveal the evil enemy

Convict me of presumptuous sins

Refute their dominion over me

I would look them in the eye and win

Till every moment, every breath

I plot to murder what I hate

I would put them all to death

Broken under glory’s weight.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just

to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse

us from all that is unrighteous.

Psalm 19; 1 John 1:9

Remind Me

Simple truths are fleeting, they are like the air we breathe

We forget so easily  the  truths that we believe

And so we must remind ourselves lest we should be deceived

And so I call to mind, time after time

I rehearse the simple truths I know  and  assurance is retrieved

“This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

His mercies never come to an end.”

And as this dawns on me my faith increases.

Lord remind me of who I am

Remind me of Who you are

That all things have a plan

And heavens not so far

That you are good all the time

That I’ll reap what I sow

The battle is in my mind

So remind me of what I know

I remind myself of Truth again, lest I should  be inclined

To act as if I never knew the facts the Spirit has defined

The greatness, grace and wisdom of God I call to mind

I focus on the facts, and then my soul reacts

For once reminded I return to seek and find

“I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

I will ponder all your work, and meditate

Then your mighty deeds my heart shall behold”

Bridge

Ignorance is never  bliss And knowledge can be part of this

If arrogance and pride Within our hearts reside

We act as if we don’t believe And so the Holy Spirit grieves

We just can’t seem to find The grace to set our mind.

We are the cause of our own strife when we slight the way, the truth and life

With man it is impossible But with God all things are possible

For what He wills will come to pass Though our plans are like the grass

They wither and they fail But the Word of God Prevails!

Lord remind me of who I am

Remind me of Who you are

That all things have a plan

And heaven is not so far

That you are good all the time

That I’ll reap what I sow

The battle is in my mind

So remind me of what I know

(Psalm 77:11–12, Lamentations 3:21–22)
