Listen mp3 file- Nothing Short Of A Miracle

Listen mp3 file- The Closer I Get

There are no answers for
those who do not seek

There are no treasures for
those who sleep

Why does the wind blow in
the desert?

Why does the moon glow in
the darkness?

The birds don’t worry, the
spider has no fear

The snake has no legs and
the locust has no king

When will I understand?

 

The Way in not in your
head, the Truth is not in a book

And Life is not in a breath

 

For His sake I glory in my
weakness, rejoicing in my sacrifice

And giving thanks for my
suffering

In His infinite wisdom,
the foolish things of this world

Confound the wise. When will I understand?

 

When I stand before His seat of judgement

Prostrate, in the dust that formed me

The only good in me, what He did through me

When will I understand?

Teach us to give, teach us to lead
Direct our steps to souls in need
Nothing we could buy, nothing we could gain
Is worth our time but this

Chorus: To lead in love, to lead in love
Only You can help us lead in love
Jesus, make us one, use Your church to lead in love

It’s not this place; it’s not our creed,
Your church is people who bare Your name
Nothing we could buy, nothing we could gain
Is worth our time but this

Listen to Title track of “Thru Your Eyes”

I want you to be the first one, on my mind in the morning
Let your praise be the first thing on my lips, in the morning
Every thing I do, every place I go, doing what pleases You

I want you to be the one I run to when I lose my way
Be the one to rejoice with me when I’m, part of a victory
You’re my heavenly father; help me be your heavenly son

My heart cries for something real, not religious compromise
All the right words and all the right moves
Won’t bring me closer to You

Take all my selfish desire; take all my pride, my pain and my cares
Burn it all up with Your holy fire
Stir up the wheat, blow off the chaff, shake up the pieces
Pull out the prize, break me up and pass me around

All that money can buy, all that catches my eye
Every thing I seek, every thing I want, I lay it down
I give You my heart, I give You my soul
To give You what I cannot keep, to gain what I can never lose

You cared for me, before I ever knew You
You gave a name, and gave me a chance, before I knew you
You loved me and kept me, close to Your heart

Close to Your heart, when I was afraid
Close to Your heart, when I was lost
Close to Your heart, You want me to be
Close to Your heart

As a child I knew, You’d catch me as I fell
I trusted You, fearing nothing, I knew you’d come
You loved me and kept me, close to Your heart

You tried to teach me, knowing I would turn away
You persisted, never doubting, I’d come back home
You loved me and kept me, close to Your heart

Tag: You loved me and kept me, close to Your heart

1.) Jesus my praise song, Jesus my love song
You are the one my heart adores
You are my praise song, You are my love song
I love to lift Your name in praise

I want to praise You, Jesus I praise You
My lips will glorify Your name (2x)

2.) Jesus my teacher, Jesus my counsel
You are the one who guides my way
Jesus my teacher, Jesus my counsel
I love to hear Your voice

1.) Love, you can’t hold it in your hands, oh no
Love, you can’t put it in a bottle for a rainy day
Because love is only love when you give it away

2.) Love, never holds a grudge, oh never
Love, never goes to sleep with angry words
Love is what we need because love will forgive

3.) Love, it’s accepting who you are, no matter
Love, it’s giving not thinking what you’ll get in return
Because love is really love without condition

Love, love, we don’t really understand

4.) Love, love is what Jesus did for us on Calvary
Love, you know God loved us before we new Him
He sent His son to die, no greater love

Love is what we need, I said
Love is what we need
Oh Love is what we need
Because love covers all

1.) Lord I don’t know where You’re leading,
Lord I can’t see Your purpose for me, open my eyes,
Free my spirit for direction,
I trust you hear my plea.

Cause You’re making a way for me, making a way for me
Foolish though I’ve been, I know you bore my sin,
You’re making a way for me

2.) Oh I’ve tried to make ends meet,
I’ve worked to get ahead,
You said take my hand, put your trust in me,
I know my needs will be met.

3.) At times I just get by,
At times I’m out of faith,
You’ll never leave, You care for Your own,
You’ll carry me when I am faint.

Renew my mind, cleanse my heart
Take away the wrath of my self righteousness
That I would know Your will
What is right and what is beautiful

Help me be a living sacrifice
Holy and acceptable to You
To worship You in spirit and in truth
And be not conformed to the world

(Romans 12:2)

1.) Lord You know what’s in my heart
Nothing there surprises You
You know the deepest part
The ugly and the pure

2.) I am not afraid to tell You
Everything I’ve hidden there
Because I know You love me still
Nothing keeps You from me

Chorus:
I confide in You, what no-one knows
You never shame me
I can tell You everything, I confide in You

3.) You love me, understand me
Like no-one else would care to
You hear me, surround me,
Wrap Your arms around me
