Lord as I sit here and meditate on you
My heart is truly overwhelmed by everything you do
I guess it's just not meant to be
For me to comprehend
Why you would give your life for me
And take away my sin
When you could have stayed in heaven
And never left your throne
But because you loved me so you chose to die alone
Before I was even formed you saw what I could be
Then you told the Father "This one belongs to me"
You saw my potential and you're the only one
Who believed I could do the job
You desired to have done
Now I have grown older and a little wiser too
I'm beginning to understand what you would have me do
You know it's hard to drown out all the negativity
I heard when I was growing up
When no one believed I'd be
Smart enough in their eyes to accomplish anything
But thank you Lord for seeing me throught the eyes of  the King
I know you have gifted me and with you're help I'll do
Everything I can to bring multitudes to you

What is it about football that makes millions stand and cheer
When their team scores a touchdown
In the coldest time of the year
They bundle up like pinquins from their heads to their toes
And sit through rain and ice an sleet
Or in a blinding snow
I'll admit I do love football, for I view it as life
I see myself as quarterback with the football being strife
I search the field for someone able to catch my pass
Before the linemen reach me and throw me to the grass
I feel the pressure coming and I search left and right
For someone I can throw it to who'll catch and hold it tight
My pass receiver is the Lord when he's in the end zone
No matter who distracts my view I see him alone
No matter if you win or loose when you're playing in life's game
Remember there is someone who calls you by your name
And says throw me all the burdens of your weary soul
Once you release them to me, trust me I'm in control

Good morning Heavenly Father, Son and Holy Ghost
I join saints and angels and all the heavenly host
In giving you the highest praise unto your holy name
For many years ago you made a choice and came
Down from your throne in heaven to be nailed to a tree
Just so I could understand the love you had for me
You knew before I was born every step I'd take
Through the valleys and the mountains and decisions I would make
Thank you for forgiving me each time I fail to do
The things that you ask of me for I know how it hurts you
Now as I come before you on this brand new day
Help me listen closely to what you have to say
When voices start distracting me give me your ears to hear
The sound of your sweet spirit speaking to me loud and clear
Keep my mind from wandering let my eyes be fixed on you
Let your love shine through me in everything I do
When I start to weaken give me your strength to stand
And guide me gently through this day by your strong and mighty hand
Amen

Some time ago I asked you to do something for me
And if you did just what I said my glory you would see
At first you were excited, your hearts were filled with love
My heart was filled with joy as I watched you from above
Every service was so great I felt right at home
Then slowly things began to change and you began to roam
It really made me sad to see a church with such desire
Allow the devil to come in and put out your holy fire
Then came the discontentment and my heart began to grieve
I really didn't want to go but I just had to leave
Now every week you ask me to come and visit you
Praying for my guidance in everything you do
But like the church at Ephesus you've forgotten your first love
But I'm ever interceeding to my Father up above
Please stop all your fighting it really makes me sad
You're supposed to love each other, not make each other mad
Remember this was once my church, repent of all your sins
I want to come back home again, will you please let me in

Last night I dreamed Jesus came I met him in the air
Though I looked for you my friend I didn't find you there
For many years I tried my best to live so you would see
There was a difference in my life because Jesus lives in me
I told you time and time again please don't hesitate
Give your life to Jesus now before it is too late
You said "What's the rush I've got time I'll do it later on
God said I'd done all I could do his seed of truth was sewn
As beautiful as it was to see this dream unfold
There is another part of it I think you must be told
The earth was totally destroyed huge rocks lay on the ground
Those left behind cried out to God but he could not be found
They prayed for rocks to fall on them but their prayers were not heard
Because they had refused the gift God spoke of in his word
After years of tribulation came the judgement day
Those who rejected Jesus were sadly turned away
But all who had accepted this free gift from the Lord
Were ushered into heaven to receive their great rewards
Don't give into satan he's fighting for control
But Jesus will let you decide who's going to have your soul

O Lord you are so wonderful
I can't praise you enough
You show me grace and favor
Even when times are tough
Lord you know it's always been
Hard for me to learn
To say anything to anyone Because I have been burned
Yet O how I thank you when I come to you in prayer
I can pour my heart out to you
And leave my burdens there
You know I have a tendency to worry and to fret
But thank you for reminding me
You've never failed me yet
I want so much to please you
And know I'm truly loved
I long to feel your presence surround me like a glove
Please let your spirit fall on me
Like it never has before
I don't want to let you down
Or hurt you any more

The Lord gave me a vision I was walking on the beach
So lost in his presence I felt heaven I could reach
Then he came down and joined me and we just took a walk
Being in his presence I tried but couldn't talk
I couldn't help but wonder why he would come to me
But after he began to talk I could clearly see
He started pouring out his heart and I listened as he spoke
Of the pain he always feels when he's made to be a joke
We walked a while in silence then I began to cry
He allowed me to feel his pain and suddenly I knew why
He chose me to talk to he knew I'd understand
The way he was feeling, then he took me by the hand
I stopped and turned to look at him and when he looked at me
The Holy Ghost decended and his glory I could see
He said I want to thank you for your sensitivity
To the Father and the Spirit to take time to talk to me
You know there will be many who'll want to talk to me
When the day of judgement comes but they are going to be
Heartbroken when I look at them with tears in my eyes
And tell them I don't know them they they'll begin to cry
They thought because they went to church twice a year at best
That would be enough for them to enter into my rest
But they failed to ask me to forgive them of their sins
Therefore they're not invited here for they never let me in

In my quiet time with God I praised his holy name
Since he truly set me free my life's not been the same
Something didn't feel quite right
I sensed the Lord was sad
I asked him what was going on
If someone made him mad
As I listened quietly he spoke to me and said
My heart is really aching for my churches that are dead
There's a church on every corner And some of them do well
They preach my truth just as I said
And warn lost souls of hell
But many churches pick and choose
What they want to say
They don't want to take the chance to scare someone away
It's not how big the building is Or the members every week
My churches are the ones who listen when I speak
Many churches are life Ephesus They've forgotten their first love
My heart is very heavy as I watch them from above
I wish I could make them see how it breaks my heart
To see and hear them take my word
And leave out important parts
I really dread that final day it will hurt so bad
That will be the worst day I have ever had
When I have to tell the souls who stand before my throne
To depart from me forever, for them I have not known
My churches need to wake up that day is very close
Seek my face and let me fill you with the Holy Ghost
When I died on Calvary it was for all mankind
Please do everything you can So they won't be left behind

Lord you know just how I feel When someone treats me nice
I wonder if they mean it
Or if there is a price
I don't like this feeling not knowing who to trust
It's hard to know who really cares
And who thinks of me as dust
Lord I pray you'd give me wisdom to discern
The ones that truly are from you
And help me Lord to learn
To wait for you to tell me which ones are really true
Let me see with spirit eyes only those who reflect you
Lord you know I have been burned
And so I am afraid
To open up to anyone for fear I'll be betrayed
Help me to see the difference
Between my friends and foes
Show me if they're genuine or wolves in sheeps' clothes
Especially those who tell us
They have been called to preach
Help us pay close attention to what and how they preach
Keep our eyes and our ears open
And if it contradicts your word
Please tune our ears so we'll know
It's your voice we have heard
Help us Lord to stand firm for everything that's right
And help us to remember with you we win the fight
