Come to Jesus

 

Are you weary and heavy laden?

Are you burdened and oppressed?

Are your expectations fading?

Come to Jesus and find rest

Are you vexed by your behavior?

Your soul, downcast and depressed?

Cast your burdens on the Savior

Come to Jesus and find rest

If you’re hungry in your spirit

If you’re thirsty in your soul

Heed the call if you will hear it

Come to Christ and be made whole 

Are you overwhelmed by trouble?

Are your sins left unconfessed,

Broken in your old man’s rubble?

Come to Jesus and find rest

Are you tired and oh so lonely-

The world‘s a trial and a test?

Jesus’ heart's gentle and lowly

Come to Jesus and be blessed

If you’re hungry in your spirit

If you’re thirsty in your soul

Heed the call if you will hear it

Come to Christ and be made whole 

Rest from all your burden bearing

Rest from your self-righteousness

If you’re doubting and despairing 

Come to Jesus and find rest

Leave your woes and your wayfaring

Come to Jesus and be blessed

Come to Jesus and find rest

Matthew 11:28

Everlasting Father

O my everlasting Father
I am your little child
Since you called me to believe
I am saved and reconciled
You offer constant care
You are my source and guide
Held fast forever in your love
This is where I will abide

You are purposeful and patient

You encourage and promote

You are forever present

When all others are remote

Your wisdom is so practical

You protect me and provide

Oh my everlasting Father

Beneath your wings I hide

O my everlasting Father

I will give to you

The obedience of faith

And the honor that is due

In your arms are my security

I am safe in your embrace

You will not forsake me

No matter what I face

O my everlasting Father

I am your little child

Since you called me to believe

I am saved and reconciled

You offer constant care

You are my source and guide

Held fast forever in your love

This is where I will abide

The God Who Walks on Water

Seeking refuge in isolation.

My soul is bound in lamentation.

With a burden that seems too much to bear

Seeking for a place to cast my cares

There’s a darkness I cannot describe

And a prevalent unholy vibe

Where without knowing you must go

And you truly know that you don’t know 

I will trust in the God who walks on water

I will trust in the God who raised the dead

I will trust in the God who died and rose again

For by his life my soul is fed.

There is one who stands in the gap

There’s a way that won’t show on your map

How to tread the path of wakefulness 

This is the way of the wilderness 

No comforts there in the shadow of death

It will surely take away your breath

You can curl up like Elijah

Or flee to the shelter of his wings-He’ll hide ya

I will trust in the God who walks on water

I will trust in the God who raised the dead

I will trust in the God who died and rose again

For by his life my soul is fed.

This is the home the heart desires

Where its better than a chariot of fire

No promise that your chariot will fly

There’s a better way to live and die

Where without knowing you must go

And you truly know that you don’t know 

In Christ alone-in his embrace

He’ll not let you go no matter what you face

I will trust in the God who walks on water

I will trust in the God who raised the dead

I will trust in the God who died and rose again

For by his life my soul is fed.

Purity

God‘s promises are the  power

To defeat temptation each hour

I could cut off my hand and gouge out my eye

But instead on this promise I will rely

Blessed are the pure and heart

Blessed are the pure and heart

To be purified and set apart

Helps me know my Jesus more

This is what I was created for

The pure in heart will see God

The pure in heart will see God

To have a treasure in the field, 

To know and love and to yield

He is the pearl of great price

So on Jesus I will fix my eyes

Blessed are the pure and heart

Blessed are the pure and heart

To be purified and set apart

Helps me know my Jesus more

This is what I was created for

The pure in heart will see God

The pure in heart will see God

I will ascend the holy hill and stand

With a pure heart and with clean hands

One day, I’ll see his face when I am dead

And his name will be on my forehead

Blessed are the pure and heart

Blessed are the pure and heart

To be purified and set apart

Helps me know my Jesus more

This is what I was created for

The pure in heart will see God

The pure in heart will see God

Father of Eternity

Father of eternity

You made a way. A way for me.

You gave living water and  bread

You provide and my soul is fed

And soon you’ll  raise me from the dead!

Father of eternity

You gave to me new eyes to see

The unseen truth that’s all around

I’m placed in you where life is found

And so my soul is heaven bound

Bridge

Father of the  everlasting 

On you all I am I’m casting

Oh second Adam, I’m your child

By your blood, I am reconciled

A life of endless duration

Author of my sure salvation

You are present forevermore

The reason I am living for

And so I enter through your door

Father of eternity

Eternal security

Where other legacies shall fade

You’re the foundation that was laid 

You shall endure through endless age

Trembling Joy

Rescued from the precipice

Saved from the raging tide

Wrath and fury on its way

Save me, Lord, I cried! 

Delivered from the wrath to come

As fire was in the cup

To pour out on disobedient sons

His anger fills it up

So it is a trembling joy

To know that I am saved

I am rescued from the deluge

To tread the path Christ paved

Oh, the glorious gift of repentance

That woke me from my sleep

Saves me from the holy wrath of God

And now with joy, I weep

The smoke of this torment

Goes up forever more

When He treads out the wine press

Then flows the blood and gore

O the terror and the pain

Reserved for the arrogant

Those who would reject God’s Love

And refuse to repent

So it is a trembling joy

To know that I am saved

I am rescued from the deluge

To tread the path Christ paved

So it is a trembling joy

To know that I am saved

I am rescued from the deluge

To tread the path Christ paved
