So much grace, so many blessings,
Far too many to count.
Your mercies, Lord, have overflowed,
A swift and rushing fount.
I stand within the flow
Praising the name of heaven’s King,
The Lord who loves me so.
Nor even Your mercy,
But You have poured them out on me,
Flowing abundantly.
Exceeding every prayer.
Please help me share Your flowing grace
With others in despair.
Which You’ve poured out on me,
Onto others who’ve not yet heard
Of You or Your mercy.
Amid all Your blessings,
The best of which is, without doubt,
The joy sharing it brings!
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all
things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good
work.

A Flow Of Blessings

To See You In Me
I always hope I’ll see You, too,
When I’m looking at me.
Though I will never be like You,
In some ways, I should be.
I need to see Your grace in me,
I need to see Your strength.
I need to see the kind of love
That goes to a great length.
And mercy for the lost.
I need to share the redemption
That You bought at such cost.
I find in You each day,
Enough to strengthen me and some
To share along the way.
I know I cannot be,
But I will pray with all my heart
To see more You in me.
As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the
heart.

An Unexpected Place
We have been called to walk in faith
And that’s what I have done,
Though I get anxious, now and then,
In this walk I’ve begun.
The places You’ve led me,
But I know You have plans in place
That are too big to see.
That’s why, when I find myself in
Some unexpected place,
I pause and lift my voice in prayer
For Your guidance and grace.
Before I start again.
I trust You and I’ll walk in faith,
Though I don’t know the plan.
but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your
God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it
may go well with you.

With Just A Prayer
Though I may stand upon the crest
Of earth’s mightiest peak,
I still will not be close enough
To find what I now seek.
And beyond heaven’s roof,
I still would find Your holy throne
Distant, Lord, and aloof.
And called to You in prayer,
Then You heard and You answered me.
I have no doubt You’re there.
You’re everywhere I look.
From mountain peaks to distant stars,
And prayer was all it took.
But I pray to you, Lord, in the time of your favor; in
your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.

I'll Keep My Eyes On You
My eyes are fixed upon You, Lord,
And that is where they’ll stay.
Through all the madness and the mess
That this world sends my way.
I’m a child of Your grace,
And I will keep my eyes on You
Until I see Your face.
Nothing can change that now,
But I know that this world will try
To distract me somehow.
To share Your truth, Your Word,
To all who still walk in the dark,
Who have not seen or heard.
With work that I’m to do.
Father, please keep Your eyes on me,
And I’ll keep mine on You.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify
them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have
sent them into the world.

Rend Your Heart
Oh Lord, I’ve led a sinful life,
As has all of mankind
Since Eve first disobeyed Your law.
Sin’s too easy to find.
Our pain and shame You bore,
That we might have a second chance
To “go and sin no more.”
Contrition or remain
Living in sin despite Your grace.
The choice is stark and plain.
We’d rend our clothes in shame,
Then cover our head in ashes,
Your forgiveness to claim.
That’s not where sins abide.
Instead, I’ll rend my heart and leave
Sin with no place to hide.
Where sin dwells and holds sway.
We must open our hearts to You
To wash that sin away.
And rend my heart anew,
Knowing that true forgiveness, Lord,
Is always found in You.
Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord
your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in
love, and he relents from sending calamity.

The Family Of Believers
The rough, wild lands spread all around,
But, in its midst, they stand.
Joined in their faith, sharing their joy
And living His command.
So often stand alone,
But they are tasked to share with all
The grace they have been shown.
Even when life is bramble filled,
There’s always joy to see,
And that joy grows abundantly
Within His family.
And share with you His grace,
For that is what He did for them
When they were in your place.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all
people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Walking Each Day With You
I walk the shoreline in the dawn
That I may hear Your voice
Before the chaos of the day.
I listen and rejoice.
Wondrous it is to see,
But even more wondrous, indeed,
Is that You walk with me.
To listen as I pray.
I know that You have many calls
Upon Your grace each day.
You hear me when I speak.
You answer patiently and share
Your guidance, which I seek.
More vast than sky or sea,
And for the quiet time You spend
Each day walking with me.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does
the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly
with your God.
