The Coat of Many Colors

The coat of many colors
Was a story I was told
About a young boy named Joseph
Who for jealousy was sold
Into slavery by his brothers
And brought to a distant land
Where pyramids and idols stood
In a land of palms and sand
The years he spent were lonely ones 
Away from Jacob’s tent
Not knowing it was in God’s plan
To Egypt he be sent
To save the whole world from a drought 
And the famine that would be
And bring his family to the land 
To fulfill the prophecy
Four hundred years the Israelites 
Would serve on Egyptian soil
Until a man named Moses came 
And freed them from their toil
Because of a coat of many colors 
That Jacob gave his son
The freedom of God’s people 
By faith was finally won
Now you may think that this tale 
Ended thousands of years ago
But here’s one thing that I think 
That all of you should know
You never know the purposes 
God has in each our lives
He doesn’t tell us everything 
And many things he hides
Until we go through the trial 
We only see in part
When coming out the other side
It’s then we see God’s heart.

Wind and Fire

Wind and Fire

Have you ever heard the story
About the day of Pentecost
When God sent down His Glory
To bring conviction to the lost
Men gathered in an upper room
All praying in one accord
For Jesus promised that He’d soon
Send the Spirit of the Lord
Suddenly came a mighty sound
Of wind and tongues of flame
The Holy Spirit had come down
To make man His domain
The promise is for everyone
As many as God will call
On all that ask of Christ the Son
Will God’s Wind and Fire fall

A Chance Encounter

Years ago when I was young
I began my searching for someone
A kind, sweet and lovely girl
Then one night I found a pearl
A chance encounter, nothing planned
But maybe not, was it God’s hand
That drew me there that special night
To find a love to share my life,
My hopes, my dreams to be my friend
And bring my searching to an end
To share the good times and the bad
The happy moments and the sad
Throughout the years I’ve come to see
That God had destined you for me
This day I vow my love to give
To you as long as I shall live
And cherish you with all my heart
Til from this earth I shall depart

The God of Abraham

Do you know the God of Abraham 
El Elyon, the great I Am
He’s called Yahshua and he can save
The spoils of Egypt Pharaoh gave
By El Shaddai he’s know to some
The nurturing God, the tender one
David’s precious Yah of Psalm
Of Gilead the Healing Balm
The Rose of Sharon wont depart
If you let this rose grow in your heart
The Rock of Ages he’s always been
Who came to earth to bear our sin
Our guilt our shame, he took our loss
And carried it upon his cross
He gave us hope and peace and love
He restored our friendship with God above
The Great Shepherd has many names
But forever and always he’s still the same
He’s known as Jesus to you and me
And with that name he sets men free.

Blood and Water

Blood and water poured from Christ’s side
In order that we might abide
In Jesus and escape God’s wrath
Led by His Spirit in the path
That saints throughout the ages trod
In order that a loving God
Might save us from eternal Hell
And let us drink from His deep well
Of blood and water poured on the earth
To consummate mankind’s new birth
On Calvary the day Christ died
Blood mixed with water poured from His side

The Greatest Miracle

Is there anything too hard for Him
The God that made an axe head swim
Who healed a blind man with some mud
And made the rod of Aaron bud
He led His people through the sea
And drowned the pursuing enemy
He fed five thousand with a prayer
And caused the Holy Veil to tear
Because of Jesus we enter in
The Most Holy Place without sin
And meet with Yahweh face to face
Due to Christ’s abundant grace
Of all the miracles God has done
This surely is the greatest one.

The Savior's Voice

My dear friend don’t you hear
The Savior’s voice who holds you dear
He’s calling you from heaven above
He sent his Spirit as a dove
To tell of judgment and convict of sin
And make a way to enter in
To his kingdom and his good graces
To sit in Christ in heavenly places
The door is open don’t delay
The time is now, today’s the day
God is love we can all agree
But there’s another side you need to see
A Day is coming called Judgment Day
When Heaven and earth will flee away
To the rocks and hills man will cry aloud
Fall on us and become our shroud
Every idle word you say
You’ll account for on Judgment Day
You must decide what you will do
The Savior’s voice is calling you.

He's Calling You

Can you hear Him, He’s whispering
Come back to me, turn from your sin
There’s no iniquity that’s so great
That Jesus’ blood can’t expiate
I’ll forgive you then my child you’ll be
The price was paid at Calvary
The cost was great; my only Son
Return to me beloved one
For you are worth the price I paid
Upon my Son your sins were laid
For you my love my heart does yearn
Please come back, please return
If you only knew how I long for you
What I wish to give and want to do
To give you a new heart of flesh
And breathe my spirit into you afresh
What I did with Adam I’ll do with you
We’ll walk together in the morning dew
I’ll anoint your eyes so that you can see
And ears to hear, please heed my plea
I only have good will towards you
I have the power to make you new
Harden not your heart if you hear my voice
I will not force, it’s your free choice
You’re the jewel that I long to cherish
It’s not my will that you should perish
So come to me and I’ll take your hand
And lead you into the Promised Land
As I was with Israel my chosen one
I’ll be with you til victory’s won.

God's Plan

On one day many years ago
To the cross God’s Son did go
On a dreadful hill called Calvary
He died to free humanity
Man nailed Him to a gruesome tree
And with that act  saved you and me
From a horrible eternal grave
With a broken heart God’s Son  he gave
To bleed and die in that wretched place
Causing  God to hide his face
And separate Himself from Christ
Who paid the very highest price
His holy precious blood he shed
To bring mankind back from the dead
And with His great and glorious plan
God showed His wondrous love for man

God Cares

Christian why are you so forlorn
Don’t you know that you were born
Of God above and you are blessed
With His Spirit you’re possessed
Are you still carrying guilt and shame
God put on Christ your sin and blame
You are his prize, his love, his bride
Forever with him you’ll abide
Do all life’s cares make you dismay
Cast them all on Christ today
His thoughts towards you none can number
 God above wont sleep or slumber
Do you think that God would lie
His Son hung on a cross to die
For evil men in their guilty state
Of pride, greed, lust and hate
Do you have hurts from years ago
Memories of pain and woe
Give them to God, he wants you to
He’ll heal your wounds and nurture you
In his bottle he’ll save every tear
He remembers them and holds each dear
He numbers the hairs upon your head
And watches you sleep while in your bed
Reach out to him, he’ll hear your prayers
He’s a God of love and for you he cares.
