AT THE DOOR


GOD IS STANDING AT THE DOOR
HE OFFERS LIFE AND BLESSINGS GALORE
HE HAS A GIFT TO GIVE
IN YOUR HEART HE WANTS TO LIVE
WILL YOU LET HIM IN TODAY
OR WILL YOU TURN HIM AWAY

WORDS

DO YOU KNOW WORDS CAN CUT LIKE A KNIFE
THEY CAN RUIN SOMEONES LIFE
YES, WORDS ARE POWERFUL THINGS
THE WOUNDS THEY CAUSE REALLY STINGS
WORDS CAN CAUSE A LOT OF PAIN
WHEN OUR WORDS HURT WHAT DO WE GAIN
WE NEED TO USE OUR WORDS FOR GOOD
JUST LIKE GOD SAID WE SHOULD
WE NEED TO WATCH WHAT WE SAY
FOR ONE DAY WE WILL HAVE TO PAY

STORMS OF LIFE

LIGHTENING FLASHING ALL AROUND 
THUNDER CRASHES AND SHAKES THE GROUND
THE WIND IS GETTING VERY STRONG
THE TREES CAN'T LAST VERY LONG
AS ALL THIS GOES ON OUTSIDE
IN OUR SHELTER WE DO HIDE

WHEN STORMS OF LIFE COME OUR WAY
WE HAVE A PLACE WE CAN STAY
WE DON'T HAVE TO RUN AND HIDE
WHEN WITH JESUS WE ABIDE
AS THE STORMS RAGE ALL AROUND 
IN HIS ARMS WE ARE SAFE AND SOUND

KING JESUS

King Jesus is coming today
hurry from sin turn away
if these words you did hear
how many would be full of fear

King Jesus is coming it's true
 He's coming back for me and you
we don't know the hour or the day
 so from sin you should turn away

we must be ready to go
Jesus as King and Savior we must know
Much longer Jesus will not wait
come to Him now no longer hesitate.

GOD'S PEACE

AS I SIT OUTSIDE TONIGHT
THE STARS ARE SHINING BRIGHT
THERE IS A SOFT BREEZE BLOWING
THE STREAM, OVER ROCKS, FLOWING

AS I SIT AND LISTEN TO THE SOUND
THERE IS A SINCE OF PEACE ALL AROUND
PEACE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE TOO
BECAUSE I KNOW GOD HOW ABOUT YOU

GOD WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND ME
SAFE WITH HIM I WILL ALWAYS BE
AS THESE QUIET TIMES WE DO SHARE
GODS' PEACE IS EVERYWHERE

THE FIRST STONE

The first stone only Jesus can throw
because sin He did not know,
He walked this Earth the way we should,
to all He saw He was kind and good.

The first stone shouldn't be thrown,
because sin we all have known.
we fall short of His glory you see,
but with Him we can still be.

Call on Jesus today.
ask Him to wash your sin away.
He will hear and answer  your plea.
He will cleanse you and set you free.

BY FAITH

WE WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT
EVERY STEP WE TAKE IS IN HIS LIGHT
PUT YOUR TOTAL TRUST IN HIM TODAY
HE IS WITH YOU COME WHAT MAY

BY FAITH WE KNOW JESUS IS NEAR
BY FAITH HIS VOICE WE HEAR
BY FAITH WE OPEN OUR MOUTH TO SPEAK
BY FAITH WE GET STRENGTH WHEN WE"RE WEAK

BY FAITH WILL YOU STEP OUT
LEAVE BEHIND ALL FEAR AND DOUBT
BY FAITH TAKE HIS HAND
 BY HIS SIDE STAND.

RESCUED

We were sin king in quicksand
Jesus came and reached down His hand
He rescued us that day
He set our feet on a new way

He rescued us from the quicksand of sin
He gives us peace and joy within
In His love we will stay
His word we will obey

Rescued to return no more 
We are headed for Heavens' Shore
Rescued to live with Him above
We live today because of His great love.

                                                   RUTH PHIPPS...

PRAISE HIM

SUN SHINING, BIRDS SINGING
TO GOD OUR PRAISES WE'RE BRINGING
THIS IS A WONDERFUL DAY
AS WE FOLLOW JESUS ON THE NARROW WAY
HIS LOVE FOR US IS ALL AROUND
IN THE AIR AND ON THE GROUND
LOOK AT ALL HIS CREATION AND SEE
HE DID IT ALL FOR YOU AND ME
HE EVEN GAVE HIS LIFE ON A TREE
JUST SO YOU AND I FROM SIN COULD BE FREE
SO LET'S PRAISE HIM WITH THE HEAVENLY HOST
LET'S ALL PRAISE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST

THE LORD CAME

The Lord came, but you were out
You had things to do no doubt
He came while you were away
You missed Him what a sad day.

The Lord came to see you
You didn't have time, you had things to do
You had to run here and there
You didn't have time for a prayer

The Lord came, where were you
Was it important what you had to do 
You missed out, what a shame
You weren't ready when the Lord came

                                                     RUTH PHIPPS...

THE DOOR
JESUS IS STANDING AT THE DOOR TODAY
HE IS KNOCKING, HE WANTS  IN, WHAT DO YOU SAY
WILL YOU LET HIM INTO YOUR HEART 
WILL YOU GIVE TO HIM EACH PART

OPEN THE DOOR, JESUS IS WAITING
IS YOUR LIFE SO GOOD YOU KEEP HESITATING
TRUE HAPPINESS AND PEACE HE DOES BRING.
LET HIM BE YOU KING.

TO OPEN THE DOOR IS UP TO YOU
JESUS WON"T FORCE HIS WAY THROUGH
IT'S YOUR DECISION TO MAKE
TOO MUCH TIME DO NOT TAKE

A PRAYER

MIGHTY GOD, PRECIOUS KING
PRAISES TO YOU WE BRING
IN OUR HEARTS WE INVITE YOU TO LIVE
OUR LIVES TO YOU WE NOW GIVE
MOLD US INTO WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE US TO BE
OPEN OUR EYES SO THAT WE MIGHT SEE
LOST SOULS THAT NEED TO BE BROUGHT  IN
AND RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF THEIR SIN
TOUCH US ,HEAL US,MAKE US WHOLE
BODY MIND SPIRIT AND SOUL
WE WILL BE READY FOR THAT DAY
WHEN YOU CALL YOUR CHILDREN AWAY
WITH YOU FOREVER WE SHALL BE
PRAISING YOU ETERNALLY

MY JOURNEY

THIS JOURNEY THAT I STARTED LONG AGO
IS NOW ABOUT OVER, THIS I KNOW
ON THIS JOURNEY I HAVE HAD
UPS AND DOWNS GOOD TIMES AND BAD
I HAVE SEEN SO MANY SIGHTS
BOTH IN DARKNESS AND IN LIGHT
ONE SIGHT I WILL NEVER FORGET
OH HOW I REMEMBER IT YET
HE SHOWED ME MY HOME ABOVE
WHERE I WILL LIVE IN HIS GREAT LOVE
TO MY FAMILY LET ME SAY
GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS TODAY
THEN ONE DAY TOGETHER WE  SHALL AGAIN BE
AT HOME WITH HIM ETERNALLY
