There are mornings when I wake  Feeling fragile  feeling weak A vulnerable amorphous ache Not knowing what to pray or seek A present sense of wrongness A disturbance in my soul A vascillating vague distress Threatens to take its toll I’m tempted to just run away From this sapping sense of stress But Jesus comes to potter’s clay Empowers me  to pass the test I worship my great God for this. When for His help I cry He shows to me His faithfulness And answers bye and bye Lord be to me a wall of fire  That guards my weary soul  be to me the glory in our midst. My flagging heart console Amid the protection of His fire His presence is our pleasure He becomes our hearts desire Our holy hallowed treasure When almost paralyzed by fear O’er rumblings dire and ominous My anguished cries He will hear And answers with His promises All the promises are yes to me  in Christ  they all are mine And how much more his children see the blessedness divine Bridge Is not my ...

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels Nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come Nor height nor depth nor any other created thing Will be able to separate us from the Love of God Will be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Nothing shall separate us from the Love of God Nothing shall separate us from the Love of God Nothing shall separate us from the Love of God Nothing shall separate us from the Love of God Bridge Forever and ever By grace we endeavor And grace will keep us till the end So never no never No power can sever  This bond with our faithful friend For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels Nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come Nor height nor depth nor any other created thing Will be able to separate us from the Love of God Will be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Nothing shall separate us from the L...

We Sing of the risen Son Who triumphed o'er the grave His work is finished- it is done And so we might be saved. We sing to the Risen Son Who rose and conquered death The mighty victory is won And so in Him we rest. We sing About the Risen Son Who will reverse the Fall He is the all sufficient One Whose love can conquer all We Sing with the Risen Son Whose song brings life anew Who was and is and is to come E'er faithful, ever true. The risen Son has mounted up With healing in His wings His lifesong fills salvation’s cup So all creation sings. Anthony Foster November 2, 2020

We all know that each day’s troubles are sufficient for that day And we never know what trials we will face But we know that God is for us when the enemy holds sway And we can depend upon God’s all sufficient grace. According to His glory God supplies our every need That at all times in good works we may abound We can do all things in Him who strengthens us for every deed For our hope is built upon this solid ground For His Grace is sufficient, more than sufficient Yes Gods grace is sufficient for me For His Grace is sufficient, more than sufficient Yes God’s grace is sufficient for me! Now God’s Spirit gives us self control when we are faced with fear And we’ll come to know God’s mercy when we seek For He transforms all our suffering and He stores up all our tears His power is perfected in those who are weak Now through many dangers toils and snares we have already come There are pitfalls waiting as we run our race But the peace of God surpasses pain- the victory is won For the peace ...

Looking to the past we gain a grateful heart You are the master designer and this world’s a work of art You are the promise keeper- history proves you true Help us see that future graces all will come from You Give us perfect vision Lord, that we might clearly see The hope and promises you give become reality With 20/20 hindsight we come to understand That all things work according to your perfect plan Looking at the present help us see with redeemed eyes So we may see the truth that this world would just disguise To see the world as it is, held together  by your Word Help us to live out the good news of the message we have heard Give us perfect vision Lord that we might clearly see You work all things together to fulfill our destiny So clarify our vision till illusions pass away With eyes of faith made perfect then with open hearts we pray Looking to the future Lord we see the hope unveiled We see with renewed minds that your word has never failed The author and the finisher of fa...

You came to the house of bread, as the bread of life you came That our souls might be fed,  for to save us was your aim As the manna from the sky God's people to sustain Soon to die and rise again like a holy seed of grain You came to Jacob's well  living water there to give To quench the fires of hell and  our thirst that we might live Living water for our souls, flowing from the Father's throne Cleanse our hearts and make us whole and make your glory known You came to Gethsemane to the olive grove to pray Your voiced your earnest plea that God's wrath be turned away There to sanctify His priest  with the olive oil applied There your will it was released so we might be sanctified You came on a wedding day in the fullness of God's  time Working wonders to convey that messiah was divine You became the righteous wine when your precious blood you shed At your wedding feast to dine, there we drink and we are fed To a darkened world you came to reveal eternal light T...

God reigns over the nations;  Our God reigns on high God sits on his holy throne.  And his redemption is drawing nigh The Lord reigns from eternity Come and make his glory known. He is robed in majesty;  He is Lord and Lord alone. The sound of God's watchmen— they lift up their voice; Together they sing for joy;  Together with them we rejoice For eye to eye they see  the return of the Lord to Zion. Break forth together into singing, Sing a song of the lamb and lion! For our God is the One  who is high and lifted up, To Him alone we lift Salvation’s Cup He who inhabits eternity,  Holy is His Name Our God reigns, From Age to Age the Same! The Lord has bared his holy arm  before the eyes of all the nations, And all the ends of the earth  shall see our God’s great salvation He dwells in the high and holy place,  And to the humble grace imparts To raise up the spirit of the lowly,  And to revive contrite hearts For our God is the One...
