Corrosion and Stains

Nothing falls together

It always falls apart

Life rarely if ever

Produces works of art

When it’s all said and it’s all done

It takes a push to make the wheels run

There is no easy, peezy

The ride will make you queasy

The trip downhill is rarely fun

It takes an intercession

It takes sheer discipline

Takes an intervention

To chalk up every win

It’s corrosion and stains

That’s what remains

More losses than gains

After the Fall

So we run the race

Try not to fall on our face

Unless it’s headlong on Grace

Pray Christ tears down the wall

Devastation takes its toll

So Jesus, fill that God shaped hole

I’m prone to get out of control

It took a cross to save my soul

It’s corrosion and stains

That’s what remains

More losses than gains

After the fall

So we run the race

Try not to fall on our face

Unless it’s headlong on Grace

Pray Christ tears down the wall

Beyond the Walls

The Gospel’s the Story that reveals Greater glories

It was given and written by Grace

All of the essence of all the great stories

Are fulfilled and are herein embraced

Behind all the history that has unfurled 

Here's where those stories find their start

Christ brings joy from beyond the walls of this world

Look to it, and it will heal your heart

For hearts are made lively and souls are saved

When the Light of Eternity calls

For Jesus the Savior arose from the grave

He brings joy from beyond this world’s walls

This is the story that’s truer than true

It is veritably supreme

To reject this story then judgment ensues

For it’s worthy of all our esteem

For hearts are made lively and souls are saved

When the Light of Eternity calls

For Jesus the Savior arose from the grave

He brings joy from beyond this world’s walls

He brings joy from beyond this world’s walls

He brings joy from beyond this world’s walls

He must Increase, I must Decrease

I will make much of Jesus

And make little of myself

I will boast in his goodness

I will laud no one else

I will make much of Jesus

For He must increase

Not my will but his be done

So I must decrease

I will sing of his glory

I will tell of his love

I will extol his mercy

For it’s more than enough

For He is high and lifted up

And I long to be last

I will make much of Jesus

Every crown I will cast

I will make much of Jesus

For He must increase

Not my will but his be done

So I must decrease

Hope

You are my hope and my salvation

The souls sole Security 

You are the hope of the nations

The surety that sets us free

  

There is hope for the penitent sinner

There is hope that is blessed and true

In true confidence you can enter

As the throne of grace opens for you

May the God of hope fill you with all joy 

and peace as you trust in Him, 

May the God of hope  fill you with all joy 

and peace as you trust in Him,

so that you may overflow  Overflow with hope 

by the power of the Holy Spirit.

so that you may overflow Overflow with hope 

and peace as you trust in Him

Bridge

My trust will not waver

God’s promises stand true

I have faith in His favor

And what He says, He will do

As you run the race with endurance

We rely on His sufficient grace

There is hope and a blessed assurance

No matter the trial you face

May the God of hope fill you with all joy 

and peace as you trust in Him, 

May the God of hope  fill you with all joy 

and peace as you trust in Him,

so that you may overflow  Overflow with hope 

by the power of the Holy Spirit.

so that you may overflow Overflow with hope 

and peace as you trust in Him

The Rock that Rolled

He’s the Rock that rolled from beyond time 

The Righteousness that rolled down 

The Rock that makes my reasons rhyme

This Rock’s where Living Water’s found.

Though the world may rail and mock

A refuge on this Rock is found

So my feet are set up on that Rock. 

To this failsafe I am bound

If my faith is placed in Him

That faith will ever endure 

It is this Rock that crushes sin

It makes my foundation sure.

I’ll build on this Rock alone, 

Not on the shifting sands. 

The one foundation that is known

Hewn out by His own hand

If my faith is placed in Him

That faith will ever endure 

It is this rock that crushes sin

It makes my foundation sure.

Ain’t Nobody Like My Jesus

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

Son of God and son of man

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

He’s the rock on which I stand

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

Never will be and never been

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

‘Cause the God-Man is my friend

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

He is God, and God, indeed

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

And I will follow where he leads

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

He has risen from the grave

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

Jesus knows me and Jesus saves

Bridge

Jesus  keeps me as his own

Though He sits on Heaven’s throne

Jesus loves me this I know

For His Spirit tells me so

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

Yes, He is God, and God, indeed

Ain’t nobody like my Jesus

And I will follow where He leads

I will follow where He leads

I will follow where He leads

Good Shepherd

I have none other in whom I confide

I have no wisdom but you are my guide

So I will follow where ever you may lead

You’re my good shepherd the very one I need 

Your lovingkindness is my hope and stay

Oh Lord your goodness ere attends my way

Your mercy meets me where I need it most

Your grace is humbling - only in you I boast

Chorus 

Oh Good Shepherd, lead me to the Rock

The higher dwelling where you keep your flock

I would abide there safe within your fold

I am secure there sheltered from the cold

Though like a sheep that’s gone its own way

At times of weakness fearfully I stray

You’ll seek and save me from my selfish pride

Safe in your keep I would ever abide

Bridge

Lord you will keep-This dirty sheep

Wash me till I am-A spotless lamb

Then present me as your Own

Spotless before your throne

To reveal to all the mercies you have shown

Oh Good Shepherd lead me to the Rock

The higher dwelling where you keep your flock

I would abide there safe within your fold

I am secure there sheltered from the cold
