Song: I Will Follow by Chris Tomlin
There is joy in knowing God. He will give you answers, wisdom, and direction in your life if only you take the time to ask Him. There has been a lot going on in our family these last few months. It has been our prayer lately that God will give us wisdom and clearly show us what He wants us to do regarding some big decisions in our lives. It is our desire to honor Him with our lives.
Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow…All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my sight
High above my life
I will trust in you alone (trust in you alone)In you there’s life everlasting,
In you there’s freedom for my soul
In you there’s joy, unending joy
And I will followSong: I Am Set Free by All Sons and Daughters

Thankful that God forgives. Even when you mess up, He still loves and forgives you. His mercy and kindness are always available for you. He covers us with his grace even we don’t deserve it. You can be set free from sin today!
You broke my chains of sin and shame,
And You covered me with grace,
And You mend my life with Your holy fire,
You cover me with grace,And You are the hand that reaches out to save,
And I am set free, oh oh oh,
I am set free, oh oh oh,
It is for freedom that I am set free,And yes Lord,
We are grateful,
For Your grace,
And for Your loveSong: I Am Free by Ross Parsley
We will be set free! Hallelujah! The trials and stress of this life will not go on forever. I have several friends and family members who are going through some tough situations right now. Even through the trials of life you can be encouraged by God’s word and songs. May you be encouraged today.
Through You the blind will see
Through You the mute will sing
Through You the dead will rise
Through You all hearts will praise
Through You the darkness flees
Through You my heart screams
You are freeI am free to run
I am free to dance
I am free to live for You
I am freeSong: Hallelujah For The Cross by Newsboys
As we reflect on the meaning of the Easter Holiday I am reminded of a Savior who sacrificed his life so that I might live. “Hallelujah for the Cross” because He has defeated death and took my sin on Him. Love this song and it great reminder of how instrumental Jesus and the cross are in the lives of believers.
Up to the hill of Calvary
My Savior went courageously
And there He bled and died for me
Hallelujah for the cross
And on that day the world was changed
A final, perfect lamb was slain
Let earth and heaven now proclaim
Hallelujah for the Cross
Hallelujah for the war He fought
Love has won, death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls He bought
Hallelujah for the Cross
What good I’ve done could never save
My debt too great for deeds to pay
But God, my Savior, made a way
Hallelujah for the cross
A slave to sin, my life was bound
But all my chains fell to the ground
When Jesus’ blood came flowing down
Hallelujah for the CrossAnd when I breathe my final breath
I’ll have no need to fear that rest
This hope will guide me into death
Hallelujah for the cross
Hallelujah for the CrossSong: Your Grace Still Amazes Me by Phillips, Craig & Dean

Thankful for his love and grace that covers us even though we have done nothing to deserve it. It has been neat teaching the girls about God because they have that fascinating and amazing awe when we talk about the various events in the Bible. Hopefully, we never lose our awe of the amazing grace of God in our lives. Let’s never forgot the numerous ways He impacts our daily lives, extends us grace, and forgives us even though we fall short.
My faithful Father, enduring Friend
Your tender mercy’s like a river with no end
It overwhelms me, covers my sin
Each time I come into Your presence
I stand in wonder once againYour grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
Your grace still amazes me
‘Cause Your grace still amazes meOh, patient Saviour, You make me whole
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul
What can I give You, Lord, what can I say
I know there’s no way to repay You
Only to offer You my praiseIt’s deeper, it’s widerIt’s stronger, it’s higher
It’s deeper it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher than anything my eyes can seeSong: Famous One by Chris Tomlin
I love the line “for all you’ve done and yet to do”! Thankfully His work in my life and in this world is not finished. He continues to reveal Himself to those who serve Him. Not only is He famous, He is patient, merciful, kind, and loving even when we least desire it.
You are the Lord
The famous one
Famous one
Great is your name
In all the earth
The heavens declare
You’re glorious, glorious
Great is your fame
Beyond the earthAnd for all you’ve done
And yet to do
With every breath
I’m praising you
Desire of nations
And every heart
You alone are God
You alone are GodThe morning star
Is shining through
And every eye
Is watching you
Revealed by nature
And miracles
You are beautiful
You are beautifulSong: Give You My Heart by Hillsong
There are a lot of times during our life when we are thinking about what is best for us. When we give Jesus our heart and lives there is so much more for us to give. Our agenda and schedule may not be the same plans He has for us. If we truly give Him our heart how much more important is it that we follow His leading. He has great plans for us if we would only allow Him to lead.
This is my desire to honor You
Lord, with all my heart, I worship You
All I have within me, I give You praise
All that I adore is in YouLord, I give You my heart
I give You my soul, I live for You alone
Every breath that I take, every moment I’m awake
Lord, have Your way in meSong: Draw Me Close by Worship Jamz
A great reminder of the importance of having a relationship with God. He is your strength during those tough days. The one who draws you close and never fails you. He really is all we’ve ever needed.
Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I’m your friendHelp me find a way to bring me back to you
You’re all I want, You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know you are nearYou are my desire
No one else will do
Cause no one else
Can take you place
To feel the warmth of Your embraceSong: Times by Tenth Avenue North
No one is perfect. Sometimes we like to think that we have it all together when in reality we need Him even more! There are times when we need to peel back all the layers and brokenness to experience true healing.
I know I need You
I need to love You
I’d love to see You but it’s been so longI long to feel You
I feel this need for You
I need to hear You
Is that so wrongOh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Now You pull me near You
When we’re close I fear You
Still I’m afraid to tell you all that I’ve doneAre You done forgiving
Or can You look past my pretending, Lord
I’m so tired of defending what I’ve become
What have I becomeSong: Speechless by Free Chapel
It is truly awesome when God gives you that extra grace especially when you don’t deserve it. Or when He answers a prayer that is so much more amazing than you ever expected leaving you speechless! Have you ever noticed that it always comes at the perfect time too?
Unending, but always on time
Unfailing, but never unkind
Unmerited favor is mine
Undeserving, oh but I receiveYour grace, Lord Your grace
Oh I need it, I receive it
I’m amazed, so amazed
When I see it I am speechless
You take my breath away
You take my breath awayAnd You breathe life into me
I’m nothing without You
Without grace, where would I be?
Nowhere without You
