Father I can’t thank you enough (Song)

Father I can’t thank you enough
For what you’ve done for me.
You turned around my life and you gave
Me a destiny.
You put me on the top of your creation,
Making me secure in your salvation,
Help me to be free from all temptation -
Oh!

Whenever I’m feeling down - You lift me up.
Whenever I’m feeling old – You make me new.
Whenever I’m feeling sad,
You brighten up my day…
You’re the only way.

I want to be (Song)

Like a river flowing through the desert,
I want to be.
Like a trumpet blowing in the Nation,
I want to be.
Like a lightning flash,
Like a thunder roll,
Like the wind that blows where it will;

I want to be like Him
In everything I do,
I want to be like Him
With His Spirit shining through.
I want to be

Like a bright star shining in the dark sky.
I want to be.
Like a still small voice in a hurricane,
I want to be.
From the mountain top,
To the depths of hell,
Like the hand that reached out to me;

I want to be like him…

Like a broken man,
Like a bludgeoned lamb,
Like a rose trampled on the ground….

Like a river flowing through the desert,
I want to be.

Without You (Song)

Without You, without You (x3)
Tell me
Where would I be without you?

You are my provider
The giver of my bread.
You are my Great Redeemer,
The lifter of my head.
You turn ashes into beauty,
Water into wine
And even in my darkest sin
You cleansed this heart of mine

Without You…

You set my feet to dancing
Upon my enemy
And when I start to praise You
The devil has to flee.
You took all my sickness on You
Allayed my every fear
And when my night was full of shame
You’d wipe away each tear

Without You…

You broke the chains that bound me
Set this captive free
And I just want to praise You
Through all eternity
You made everything around me
You are it’s perfect end
And even though you are my God
You are my closest friend

Without You…

Jesus,
Where would I be without You?

New Life (Poem)

Hang on a minute, if you will
And listen to my story.
It won't take long I promise you,
But if it does, well.... Sorry -
But it's about something that 'appened to me
Just the other day,
That made me change direction -
'Turn around', as one might say.
I was thinking of the future
And what it meant for me,
It got a little frightening
So I switched on my TV,
But all that had to offer
Was a sad old kinda life,
Of sex and crime and violence
And men leaving their wives.
So I switched it off and wondered....
Was life really like that?
And I got to thinking maybe it was,
So I went and kicked the cat!

Then out of the corner of my eye, I spied a book
Which had upon it's cover 'New Life',
So I picked it up; 'ad a look.
It told a simple story all about man's fall from 'Grace'
And as I read on further
Everything just fell to place - Y' see
God so loved creation, that he sent his only Son,
To suffer pain and tourment
And upon a cross be hung.
There it was he took the sins
Of the likes of you and me.
He died so we could have New Life
And live it Full... and Free.

I didn't quite understand it all
But somehow knew it to be true,
That as Jesus died - and rose again -
So there's hope for me... and you!

Then all I did, quite simple like,
Was fall down on me knees
And said 'Dear God, I'm sorry,
Will you forgive me.... Please?'
Then something 'append that was wonderful,
That I really can't explain,
But all my fear and discontent
Seemed to dissapear, like rain!
Like rain that soaks the ground is dried
When beaten by the sun,
So all the bad things in me died,
When I made Jesus
Number One!

And ever since that moment -
And my story's nearly through -
I've lived my life to honour Him...
The question is....
Will you?
