Overflow

The son of God was glorified upon a rugged Cross

The wrath of God was satisfied when Jesus paid the cast

Glory and exaltation was upon him bestowed

The source of our salvation was in the blood that flowed

Love flows from the glory that you glory in

The glory of man or of our Christ is where it all begins

Where you find its fountainhead determines how it goes

Behold the cross where righteousness is displayed and mercy flows!

The glory that our Savior owned before the world was made

Is revealed now in Christ alone -the foundation that was  laid

One day the knowledge of His  glory Will cover all the earth

As the waters cover the sea then all will know his worth

All the glories of this earth in comparison all fail

To match the priceless treasure’s worth That rent God‘s glory veil

Minister from the overflow-Of what you glory in

From the treasure that you know-True godliness will stem

And holiness will be the fruit-As Christ is formed in us

This is our purpose and pursuit- Transformed by glory from dust

Love flows from the glory that you glory in

The glory of man or of our Christ is where it all begins

Where you find its fountainhead determines how it goes

Behold the cross where righteousness is displayed and mercy flows!

The Glory of the Cross

The Glory of the Cross

A crown of thorns and not of gold-Is placed upon his brow

Now cast your eyes and behold-The Lord of glory now

See the stark humility-Of the Son crucified

The worthy lamb in purity-soon raised though he has died

For if he is lifted up high -To his cross he will draw

Sinful men who’ll come nigh-To stand in fear and awe

In humble repentance- we will joyfully rejoice

In our hope and sure defense, we will lift our voice

This is the power that transforms hearts-The glory of the cross

There from sin to be set apart-When we realize sin’s cost

Behold him high and lifted up-Behold the one that drank our cup

To become the final sacrifice-I will love the glory of my Christ

Where humbling conviction-And forgiveness are both found

The depth of sin’s affliction-From its love we are unbound

So lift up Christ before your eyes-there keep them ever stayed

Behold now the glorious sight-Of righteousness displayed

My soul is steadfast and secure-I am grateful for God’s Grace

So I will continue to endure-Until I see Christ’s face

But now in this place and time-I will glory in My Christ

In my heart soul and mind-I will praise His sacrifice

This is the power that transforms hearts-The glory of the cross

There from sin to be set apart-When we realize sin’s cost

Behold him high and lifted up-Behold the one that drank our cup

To become the final sacrifice-I will love the glory of my Christ

He Is I AM

Christ is the holy bread of life who sustains and satisfies

He is the door of the sheep wherein their safety lies

He is the good, good shepherd who protects and guides

The resurrection and the life who eternally abides…

He is I AM,  the Ancient of Days, age to age the same

The Lord our righteousness, the Name above all Names

Our Adonai, Jehovah Jireh, and our Sovereign King

The Alpha and Omega and the Lord of Everything

Christ is the true vine, and we are the branches of the vine

The light of the world from whom God’s radiance shines

He is the way the truth and the life and the perfect lamb

In all these things we see Yahweh, our LORD, the great I AM

He is I AM,  the Ancient of Days, age to age the same

The Lord our righteousness, the Name above all Names

Our Adonai, Jehovah Jireh, and our Sovereign King

The Alpha and Omega and the Lord of Everything

The Alpha and Omega and the Lord of Everything

The Alpha and Omega and the Lord of Everything

The Manna of God

I’m nourished by the living Word

On the Manna of God I live

My soul is fed by what I’ve heard

The provision that my God gives

Jesus is the manna

Sent down from heaven above

Now on the bread of life, we feed

And are filled now with his love

I am not ruled by the fear of man

My strength comes from what I glory in

This bread of life is the crucified lamb

The begotten of the Father, without sin

Jesus is the manna

Sent down from heaven above

Now on the bread of life, we feed

And are filled now with his love

Come taste the bread of heaven

It is good- just taste and see

It is free from Sin’s dread leaven

And He is given abundantly

Jesus is the manna

Sent down from heaven above

Now on the bread of life, we feed

And are filled now with his love

To the Ends of the Earth

Go and magnify Christ's worth

Make much of Jesus as you go 

Go out to the ends of the Earth

Make much of Jesus so they will know

Go tell the Gospel story

To anyone who will hear

Go make much of his glory

Proceed with holy fear

Go forth and teach the nations

Baptizing them in His name

For the God of our salvation

Send us out to proclaim

The Father Son and Spirit

Command men to obey

The Word comes to all who will hear it

They will turn to him we pray

Go forth as Christ goes with you

You will never go alone

The works that you were called to

Were designed for you to own

Go forth and teach the nations

Baptizing them in his name

For the God of our salvation

Sends us out to proclaim

The Father Son and Spirit

Command men to obey

The Word comes to all who will hear it

They will turn to him we pray

Scratch That Itch

The itch of self regard is never satisfied

The scratch of self approval it will crave

If you’re feeling self-sufficient and relying on your pride

You will always feel bereft though men may rave

For in self-sufficiency we come up empty

And we do our deeds by others to be seen

That just doesn’t make one happy evidently

For the fickle faithless crowd can soon turn mean

You may scratch that itch

But it will stay

You might spasm and might twitch 

But it never goes away

You might scratch that itch

But it returns

You may be poor or rich

But a fool just never learns

We are shadows we are echoes

We were never meant to be

Self-sufficient heaven knows

We have no sufficiency

And we’ll always have an empty soul

If we try our souls to fill

Where there’s only one who can make us whole

And that is his desire and will

You may scratch that itch

But it will stay

You might spasm and might twitch 

But it never goes away

You might scratch that itch

But it returns

You may be poor or rich

But a fool just never learns

Matthew 23:5
