When I!

When My life seems to be at it's end,
I lift my face toward Heaven from which my help desends.
When my body feels all heavy and dead,
I rejoice with all I have and He ltfts my burdens that feel as heavy as lead.
When I feel confused and ashamed inside,
I know my God understands and there is no need to hide.
When I think of how much my God really cares,
And of all He had to bear.
I raise my heart to Heaven and thank Him for all He is!

"It Should Have Been Me"

Long ago upon a hill
my Saviour went to die
there alone on Calvery's tree.
Now I know it should have been me.

When death had come
they took Him down.
Into a borrowed tomb to lie.
It should have been me they crucified.

An innocent man, the Son of God
for me the road of death He trod.
For my sins He gave His blood.
My life to change beneath its flood.

"Life goes on" or so they say
but for me there is no way
for me to be redeemed, to santify.
For you and me He came to die.

Now I reflect upon that cross
where He died to save the lost.
I am thankful I answered His plea.
After all, it should have been me
who died on that tree!

"Ye Though I Stand At The Door And Knock"

Oh for blinded eyes to see,
such a change has come over me!
In my pain and deep remorse,
I heard Him call in a still, small vioce.

Heeding His message
Contemplating my choice.
I bid Him entrance to my heart within.
With His blood cleansing me of all my sin.

Human eyes can not see,
Nor hardened heart doth hear.
This wee soft vioce within me
that brings Heaven near.

The Spirit reaches to all mankind.
Knocking at the door of their hearts.
Seeking entrance to come in
Changing a soul, cleansing his sins!

Why?

I heard these words today,
" I just believe and sometimes I don't know why?"
Why?
Why did you live in flesh for me?
And why did you suffer and die for me?
Why, when I fall time and time again, You pick me up?
Why, when I question You, You still answer with love?
Why do I believe when I keep falling?
Why do the stars burn out? Why do sunsets fade?
Just like the stars and the sunsets,
I fade then come back for Your glory,
To show Your execellent greatness and wonder,
You pick me up and i start on that long, narrow road again.
Why?
I don't know all the answers,
Only Heaven knows,
I just know what I believe,
I just know that I am loved,
But why do You love me so?
When I am so unworthy and I can't see past my own guilt and shame?
They hang like dark clouds,
Clouds that may blow away, but keep rolling back in,
They loom, deary and huge,
And it seems they are bigger than life itself,
But then a light breaks through,
It pierces hrough the clouds,
A light from the One who is Life itself,
The One who created the clouds,
And where does this light radiate from?
From the One who is the Light.
He reaches down in love and mercy,
And asks " Why?"
Why do you not believe Me, my child?
Why do you find it so hard to trust Me?
For I have made you worthy through My precious Son,
I have made a Way for you to trust Me,
I have given you a reason to believe,
So I look up to Him, and I see the Light,
And I feel His love pouring down on me,
Washing me in mercy and grace, breathing new life into me,
And the breath of His spirit blows the clouds away,
The clouds of guilt and shame are gone,
And now I see clearly the Light that shines down upon my face,
I look through my tears and I smile,
As I stand here, basking in His love and glory,
It is then that I realize why,
Why I love Him and ehy I believe,
Why?
Because He is the reason why,
no other reason can desrcibe it,
Just that He is God, and He is Love,
He is Light and Glory,
He is all that is good, and He lives in me,
There is no other reason why,
Just that He is and always has been,
Before the ages of time, He knew I would ask "Why?"
And He is there all the time, loving and patient,
Gently telling me,
"My child, I am the ANSWER."
