My soul finds rest in God alone
My Rock and my Salvation
A fortress strong against my Foes
And I will not be shaken
Though lips may bless and lives may curse
And lies like arrows pierce me
I'll fix my heart on righteousness
I look to Him who hears me

Oh praise Him
Hallelujah, my delight and my reward
Everlasting, never failing
My redeemer, my God

Find rest my soul in God alone
Amid the world's temptations
When evil seeks to take a hold
I'll cling to my salvation
Though riches come and riches go
Don't set your heart upon them
The fields of hope in which I sow
Are harvested in heaven

I'll set my gaze on God alone
And trust in Him completely
With evry day pour out my soul
And He will prove His mercy
though life is but a fleeting breath
A sight to brief to measure
My King has crushed the curse of death
And I am His forever

Oh praise Him, Oh praise Him
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Oh praise Him, Oh praise Him
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Though i may fail, You will not. You are my God and you will not be shaken. You have crushed even death, so no evil will ever crush me.
You are God and i am not. thank you that You are God.
Help me to set my gaze on you alone, and trust in you completely!

Oh Lord, you know me so well
Know my words before I speak
Could you love me right now
You know I am so in need

All things crash around me
As I try to make my way
Would you listen right now
As I fall to my knees and pray

'Cause I've been confused
And you've stayed the same
The things that I'm lacking
Have cause me to say
Just look at me now, I'm tired, it's true
All that I'm wanting is to lay here with you

And off in the distance
Mountains begin to appear
Smaller still my worries seem
When I'm resting up here


'Cause you're never confused
And you've stayed the same
The things that I'm lacking
Have caused you to stay
Just look at me now, as I take the lead
'Cause all that I want is you to lay with me
In green pastures
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Come You Saints, Lift Up Your Heads
To Find The Hand Of Grace
Has Carried You From Satan’s Grasp
And Brought You To This Place
Where All Designs Of Flesh Will Fail
And Still His Grace Remains
For Purposing His Own Good Will
The Lord Has Come To Save

.....

He has come to save. To meet me and to save.

go therefore... and forgive others

"Forgiven"

Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of
We're in the palm of a hand making a fist
It'd be best for one of us to speak up
But we prefer to pretend it does not exist

And you can't see past the blood on my hands
To see that you've been aptly damned
To fail and fail again

Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too

So don't you dare blame me for
Prying open the door
That's unleashed the bitterness
That's here in the midst of this
Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves

And what we've been striving for
Has turned into nothing more
Than bodies limp on the floor
Victims of falling short
We kiss goodbye the cheek of our true love

And you can't see past the blood on my hands
To see that you've been aptly damned
To fail and fail again

Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

what good is forgiveness if we don't give it away....
like evangelism is showing the grace of God to a hurting world, loving others is giving them the forgiveness that He has given is.
He forgave us and set us free to glorify His name. How can we do that when we are preoccupied by the sins of others?
We can't.
like another RK song says.... "give give give until there's nothing left"... then we run to Jesus and say... ok, i need some more! i need more grace to give away!

"Lord, let me give away forgiveness and love as freely as i do my opinion. Let my desire to show grace and compassion be greater than my desire to air my own opinions. Let grace inform my every word and compassion my every thought."
