Dark Soul

At times I am confronted 

With the darkness of my soul

Am I living in delusion 

Feigning faith-  but out of control? 

Am I caught in a deception?

Am I a sheep or still a goat?

Am I protecting an illusion?

Sin grips me by the throat... 

Oh when doubt and fear assails me

Unbelief having its way

Now my heart cries out to Jesus

Help my unbelief I pray!

When I despair of my limitations

They place no limits on His grace

He ignites His  light within me

He will perfect my little faith!

Oh when doubt and fear assails me

Unbelief having its way

Now my heart cries out to Jesus

Help my unbelief I pray!

Yes, when doubt and fear assails me

Unbelief having its way

Now my heart cries out to Jesus

Help my unbelief I pray!

Maranatha

Lord how we long for your return

Lord just to see your glory we yearn 

Though you left your Spirit with us in this place

Our great desire is to see your face.

The day every eye to you will turn

Lord how we long for your advent

The time parousia is evident

The apotheosis of all time

We are now seeing the signs

You will soon return just as you went

The day we will shed this earthly tent

Maranatha maranatha

We sing to you come quickly Lord 

Maranatha maranatha

We cry out to you in one accord

We long for your appearing precious Lord!

Then we shall see your glory revealed

The day our redemption was sealed

We long for the hour 

When you return in power

The time when every soul to you shall yield

The consummation of all things

When your judgment you shall bring

When every tongue shall confess 

The glory of your righteousness

Until that day our blessed hope we sing

Maranatha maranatha

We sing to you come quickly Lord 

Maranatha maranatha

We cry out to you in one accord

We long for your appearing precious Lord!

Holy Fool

Lord I am a holy fool

But I am precious in your eyes

I have become a righteous tool

To confound the powerful worldly wise

I was one unholy mess

But you called me to believe 

You delight my soul to bless

All I can do is just receive

Lord I am a holy fool

For great things unqualified 

Dwelling in a world that’s cruel

Yet you’ve placed me in your Bride

Bridge

All i am all i can be

All my worth is found in you

All  that you have planned for me

Come thru mercies ever new.

Lord I am a holy fool

For great things unqualified 

Dwelling in a world that’s cruel

Yet you’ve placed me in your Bride

I still have some foolish ways

Still ill seek your righteous rule

In your pastures I would graze

This sheep who is a holy fool.

Oh Hell

O hell you cannot have me

I'm not under your control

Oh devil you cant own me

Tho you hunger for my soul

Theres a savior who has bought me

With the wages sin has lost

I was falling but he caught me

I am his who paid the cost

My redeemer  bought the freedom

That a deadman could not claim

I was cast out of that eden

When the Adam scorned your Name

But the second Adam  saves us

Did the work that could atone

Now his righteousness he gave us

And were saved by Christ alone!

Oh hell oh hell

My soul you cannot own

For my heart harkens to heaven

With my Jesus in my eternal home

So hell you cannot hold me

For your pawer of death has died

Nail scarred hands now enfold me

The arms of the crucified.

Demon spirits  can’t possess  me

With the Spirit i am sealed

Tho the world only detests me

It cant wound the one you’ve  healed

Vouchsafed by my judge and jury

Justified  and sanctified 

Though now hell may rage with fury

Heavens wrath was satisfied

Set free by propitiation

Thru the final sacrifice

Adopted now in celebration 

All my joy is found in Christ!

Oh hell oh hell

My soul you cannot own

For my heart harkens to heaven

With my Jesus in my eternal home

Works and Wonders

Oh, the sheer goodness of God’s Providence

He gives to us according to His will

So troubles may surround us yet we live with confidence

In His perfect time, He still says peace be still

According to His mercy, according to his Grace

He gives to us all the blessings of His heaven

If we will turn our eyes from here instead to seek his face

We’ll apprehend the wonders He has given

For lo, His works are mighty

With a Word the worlds were formed

The voice of God almighty 

His wonders now perform! 

For still great miracles are wrought 

Under His sovereign control 

The great wonder that we were sought and bought

Each time He saves a soul

Yes, greater than the wonders

Declared through time and space

Pale beside that which we ponder

The wonders of His Grace

According to His perfect will, the Father works all things

And if He didn’t spare his very son

How much more grace His mercy brings

For His name’s sake, all His will- will e’er be done!

For lo, His works are mighty

With a Word the worlds were formed

The voice of God Almighty 

His wonders now perform 

For still great miracles are wrought 

Under His sovereign control 

The great wonder that we were sought and bought

Each time he saves a soul

Yes greater than the wonders

Declared through time and space

Pale beside that which we ponder

The wonders of His Grace
