A Brand New Start Today
Each morning gives a brand new start
With mercy fresh and bright
To seek the Lord and in His strength
To find and do what’s right.
I’m not defined by yesterday –
Christ died for all my sin;
If I confessed, the Lord forgave
And made me clean within.
Lord, help me see that by the blood
My past is washed away,
That I am free to follow Christ
And walk with Him today.

The Lord Is Worthy
The Lord is worthy of my trust
For He is always near –
He’ll guide and comfort, keep and guard,
So there’s no cause to fear.
The Lord is worthy of my hope
For all He says is true,
And He will bring me safe above
When life’s short day is through.
The Lord is worthy of my praise
For He is always good –
So kind and right, so faithful too
In perfect Fatherhood.
The Lord is worthy of my love
For He has loved me first –
He gave Himself to pardon me
When I was at my worst.
The Lord is worthy of my heart
For it’s His royal throne –
He cleanses it and dwells within
Because I am His own.
The Lord is worthy of my life
For He has made me new –
Lord, help me love and worship You
In everything I do.

I Want to Live for Christ
With every moment of my time
And every ounce of strength
I want to live for Christ alone
And search love’s breadth and length
I want to know Him more and more
And show my grateful love
I want to lay my treasures up
In heaven’s bank above
I want to do my Father’s will
And all that He has planned
I want to find His perfect grace
And learn to trust His hand
I want to prove His holy Word
And show each promise true
I want to feel His loving care
And watch Him bring me through
I want to see Him make me strong
Where on my own I’m weak
I want to find His secret place
To ask, and knock, and seek
I want to walk with Him until
I wake on heaven’s shore
And then I want to live with Him
My Savior evermore
So I’ve no time to waste on sin
And useless things that call
For all my life is for the Lord –
I’ve given Him my all

He’s Coming
The money markets waver
Earth’s kings and queens pass on
While wars and threats increasing
Bring famine as their pawn
But in these situations
We should not be surprised
Or wring our hands in anguish
At what the world’s devised
For Jesus surely told us
These things would all increase
Before His promised coming
When He will bring true peace
He told us in the turmoil
To lift our heads and look
Because He’d be appearing
While kingdoms rose and shook
So do not be afrighted
The Lord is on our side
And till He comes to get us
Within us He’ll abide

What Will It Be in Heaven?
What will it be in heaven
To see my Savior’s face –
To have the words to thank Him
For all His love and grace?
What will it be in heaven
To feel no pain again –
Forgetting all the troubles
And sorrows that have been?
What will it be in heaven
To say goodbye no more –
Forever with faith’s family
On God’s celestial shore?
What will it be in heaven
To never shed a tear –
To feel no fear or heartache
Where days are never drear?
What will it be in heaven
To never, ever sin –
To never face temptation
Or feel its pull within?
What will it be in heaven?
Until I fully know
I see enough to thrill me
And make life’s pathway glow.

Will You Trust Him?
Is this sufficient reason:
The One who died for you
Has lovingly ordained it
In what He’d have you do?
Are you content to follow
Because He says it’s best
Though you can’t see the outcome
And know that it’s a test?
Will you be still and trust Him
Because You know His love
And rest upon His promise
That He will lead above?
For He will bless the faithful
Who choose His perfect way
And humbly walk beside Him
In trusting love each day.
