I'm Just a Sinner Saved by Grace

This song is so true for every born-again Christian. I am only just a sinner but I was saved by God's wonderful grace and mercy when I asked Him into my heart.There is such freedom and joy from being saved from sin. "Lord, thank you for saving a sinner like me! Thank you for taking my place on the cross I deserved! Amen." I am loved and forgiven! My sins are as far away as the east is from the west! Praise God that I am saved by grace!

I'm Just a Sinner Save by Grace

If you could see
What I once was
If you could go with me
Back to where I started from
Then, I know you would see
A miracle of Love that took me
In its sweet embrace
And made me what I am today
Just a sinner
Saved by Grace

Chorus:
I'm just a sinner
Saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe  in freedom
With each breath of life I take
I'm loved and forgiven
I'm baked with the living
I'm just a sinner saved by grace

How could I boast on anything
That I've ever seen of done
How could I dare to claim as mine
The victories God has won
Where would I be had God not brought me
Gently to this place
I'm here to say I'm nothing but
A sinner
Saved by grace

Chorus

Now I live and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take
I'm loved and forgiven
I'm backed with the living
I'm just a sinner
Saved by grace
Saved by grace!

Walk On for Jesus

 Sequel to 'For my Good and for His Glory'
If we simply give up on life when a tragedy occurs we give up on God. We should trust Him, walk on for Jesus, and witness for Him.

Walk On

Sometimes your pathway
May prove uncertainties lie
Circumstances seem to tell you
That there's no reason to try

Chorus
Walk on, walk on for Jesus
Walk on in His Name
Lifting high the blood stained banner
Walk on in His Name

Walk on through the shadows
Where doubts and fears reside
He will crown you faith with victr'y
If on Him you will abide

Chorus x2

In His Name!

For my Good and for His Glory

Sometimes I don't understand why God allows bad or uncomfortable situations to happen. Over the past year everything I know, loved, and was accustomed to sort of changed and disappeared. However, I know that through it all God has a plan. God has used Bro. John (our old pastor) to grow us up in the Lord and now he can teach and minister to others. God does have a plan for everything even the uncomfortable situations."Though I would not have chosen the suffering that has come I'm willing now to say 'Lord not my will but Thine be done'" I LOVE this song. It's beautiful!

For my Good and for His Glory

I must admit I don't understand
Why God would let me face this painful circumstance
All I have to cling to is His Word and His Name
But that's enough so I will trust

Chorus:
It's for my good and for His glory
This trial's not the end of the story
There's a bigger picture
God alone can see
Faith will take you through this sorrow
For I know He holds tomorrow
And He assures me its for my good
And for His glory

I love the Lord and He has promised me
He'll work all things for good through my tears I believe
That His ways are higher than any of my own
And though my heart aches He makes no mistakes

Chorus

Though I would not have chosen the suffering that has come
I'm willing now to say "Lord not my will but Thine be done"

Chorus

For His Glory!!!

Called to Make the Difference

As I said before Jesus is the reason I sing. He has given me everything and I am sooo grateful to Him. I have the promise of eternal salvation with Him! Since I have been saved God has called me into the full time Christian ministry. He has called me to follow wherever He leads me. I believe His will for me is to become a wife and mother someday. (hopefully) :) However, I do know that He has called me to the mission field. He has called me to make a difference in this world and to help point others to Him! This song says exactly how I feel in my heart of hearts. Praise be to God our King!

Called to Make the Difference

Everywhere you turn
Men are ruining their lives
They're searching for some happiness to fill their empty eyes
Everyone needs a witness
who will stand up unashamed
Who will dare to make the difference
Who will go in Jesus Name

Chorus:
I am called to make the difference
In a world that needs to change
I'm called to be a spokesman
For the Name above all names
Called to bear the cross of Christ
Called to give Him all my life
I will give my world a chance
And I will make the difference

I am not my own
I belong to Jesus Christ
and I have found His peace and joy has filled my empty life
Now He calls me gently
to surrender all I am
To go and make the difference
To take a loving stand
A loving stand

Chorus

Yes I will make the difference
The difference

The Reason I Sing

Jesus is the reason I sing! Without Him I would not (could not) be able to sing. I thank God for giving me a voice and I hope I can encourage you to sing out for the Lord. I pray that you will be as blessed by these songs as I have been. Even if you have never heard the music please, please, please read the words. They are beautiful!!!

The Reason I Sing
When storm of life are raging
And I look around me
I see the crashing billows
And I am afraid
But when I look at Jesus
And cry to Him for Mercy
His outstretched hand reminds me
He's the master of the waves.

Chorus:
When He is my joy, my joy is unspeakable
When He is my strength, I can do all things
When He is my peace, it passes understanding
When Jesus is my song, I always have a reason to sing

Often I am tempted
To seek for contentment
In temporary pleasures
This world offers today
But when I look at Jesus
Again I am reminded
The peace and joy He gives me
They will never pass away

Chorus

Friends may fail
And trials come
Circumstances change
Jesus is the only One
Who's always the same

Chorus

When Jesus is my song, I always have a reason to sing (x2)
He is the reason I sing!
