The Lord Hath Spoken

The Lord Hath Spoken

The sun is shining, like satin lining;

Across the wet branches of the trees.

The birds have been singing songs all day long.

Spring has come forth - flourishing with glee.

God has given us joy and life in Him;

Just as a new spring morning happens.

Just as a new beginning gives hope;

Jesus revives willing hearts again.

The chill of winter has passed at last;

We see the light through the open clouds.

Nature has sprung up with encouragement;

A reminder which speaks of God so loud.

His goodness and His love in creation;

His salvation, His forgiveness.

His joy, His light, the life He's given us.

Redemption from wintry bitterness.

Oh joy, the Lord hath spoken through nature;

In ev'ry flower that arises.

In ev'ry tree that brings forth new blossoms.

Each springtime brings us new surprises.

As we feel the presence of our God's love;

Oh Let us praise Him, Let us praise Him.

Let us recognize Him, give Him glory;

For springtime is a blessing from Him.

Thee And Only Thee

Thee and Only Thee

Lord, fill my heart with your presence;

Holy Word penetrate my essence.

Take away my anxiety;

Speak, for I'm attentive unto thee.

Put a song upon my heartstrings;

Oh what peace, what joy, your Spirit brings.

When we seek thee, when we love thee;

When we worship thee and only thee.

Within this world's tempestuous sea;

Help us keep eyes of faith on thee.

This world is hateful, unfaithful;

But you dear God, are unchangeable.

Praise your name your Holy name, dear Lord;

You're still the same, You're still the same.

Put a song upon my heartstrings;

Bring you glory to your holy name.

Lord, fill my heart with your blessing;

As I yield my being, confessing.

You are our strength and you are our stay;

That's why we can rejoice in you each day.

Put a song upon my heartstrings;

Oh what peace, and comfort, your Spirit brings.

When we seek thee, when we love thee;

When we worship thee and only thee.

We Need To Keep Our Candle Lit

We Need To Keep Our Candle Lit

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;

Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.

I choose to joy in the presence of the Lord my God;

I choose to live for Him with joy faithfully.

Though at times I've felt alone, rejected and mocked;

Tempted to be angry upset and to quit.

I know God will give me wisdom in my choices each day;

I choose to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

We need to keep our candle lit, as we love the Lord.

Prayin' ev'ry day, keep the devil away.

There are consequences for the choices that we make;

That's why we need to stay close to God each day.

Love one another, be tender hearted and kind;

Confess our sins daily, walk worthy and shine.

He will give us strength, mount us up on eagle's wings;

All things work together for good, in His time.

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;

Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.

Because He is the joy that fills my heart that makes me sing;

I choose to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

We need to keep our candle lit, as we love the Lord.

Prayin' ev'ry day, keep the devil away.

There are consequences for the choices that we make;

That's why we need to stay close to God each day.

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;

Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.

Because He is the joy that fills my heart that makes me sing;

I choose to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

Through The Storm

The updated one is at the bottom

corrections made

Through The Storm

The storm winds blew upon the trees;

Harshly they bowed from side to side.

The whipping rain came down with sound;

The lightning lit the darkened sky.

Our faith was tried, sometimes we cried;

We wondered if we'd make it through.

We held on tight, kept God in sight;

That's all we knew that we could do.

It's when we praised our God above;

We felt our Saviors loving hug.

It's when we called upon His name;

Our strength was found in His great love.

Oh, when the whist'ling swirling winds;

Came to a gentle, peaceful end.

We saw the sunlight shining through;

Instead of tears, God's joy again.

Psalms 30:5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour
is life: weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.

Through The Storm

The cold winds blew upon the trees;

Harshly they turn from side to side.

The whipping rain came down with sound;

The lightning lit the darkened sky.

Our faith was tried, sometimes we cried;

We wondered if we'd make it through.

We held on tight, kept God in sight;

That's all we knew that we could do.

It's when we praised our God in faith;

We felt our Saviour’s loving hug.

It's when we called upon His name;

Our strength was found in His great love.

Oh, when the whistling swirling winds;

Came to a gentle, peaceful end.

We saw the sunlight shining through;

We felt safe and joyful again.

God is there with us in the storm.

God is with us in our sorrows.

God gives us faith through all our fears.

He gives us strength to face tomorrow.

As we keep our focus on Him.

As we place our burden on Him.

He renews right ambitions.

As we trust Him, as we love Him.

Even through the storm.

It Is You Jesus, Who I Want To Please

The blessing of Lord shall abide;

When we live to please and honor Him.

Like dew from heaven refreshing the earth;

Like fruit hanging from a healthful limb.

The blessing of the Lord shall remain;

When we remain faithful and true in Christ.

Even though sometimes it's hard to see;

I remember His great sacrifice.

---------

The greatest blessing is you Jesus;

The greatest gift I've ever received .

And your blessing still abides on me;

It is you Jesus, who I want to please.

You gave us the waters that flow free;

You gave the hope of eternity.

You gave us the grace to face each day;

And all the blessing we find in thee.

Our lives are in your hands each moment;

Our trust in your promised provision.

When we call upon your name and pray;

You give us much needed attention.

--------

You give us strength, when we have no strength.

You restore our faith, when we need faith;

You give us joy when we have no joy;

You lead us in all your righteous ways.

The greatest blessing is you Jesus;

The greatest gift I've ever received .

And your blessing still abides on me;

It is you Jesus, who I want to please.

that as ye have received

Joy Will Shine When Morning Shines

With many tears and troubled years;

We wonder if it's worth it all.

With no respect, sometimes neglect;

With sad hearts, our countenance falls.

Sometimes it's hard to lift your eyes;

To say hello, to say goodbye.

When sadness reigns, through silent pain;

When the tears have weakened our eyes.

Tears may fall all through the nighttime;

But joy will shine when morning shines.

When Jesus comforts through the praise;

His healing love comes right on time.

May we face each day with knowing;

There is a place prepared above.

Continue in His joy, my friend;

Find peace His comfort and love.

One day the heavens will open;

Jesus will stand in the sky.

This world will be a memory;

As we wave to this world goodbye.

Forever joy comes on that day;

When all tears will vanish away.

Heaven will be yours and be mine;

Yes, joy will shine when morning shines.

Song Of Comfort

Oh What Joy

When my life is past and my work here done;

When I walk the streets of gold.

To be with my King, my Father in heaven;

What great joy will lift my soul.

When I see his glory fill the heavens;

And angels kneeling at his throne;

I'm sure I'll be rejoicing with them there;

Praisin' God that I am home.

What joy, I'm sure will fill my heart that day;

Just to see Him look at me.

Just to see him smile, close beside me walk;

My Savoiur, who died for me.

Chorus:

Oh what joy, we will know in heaven one day;

When this world has past away.

We will never know a teardrop or sorrow;

And we'll never be afraid.

Oh what joy, we will know, when we see Him ;

Only joy that heaven can tell;

For He has forgiven us of all our sins;

Gave us heaven and spared us from hell.

You Are The Joy Of My World

Isaiah 52:9
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

Knowing Joy

We all have a different life. We have a world in this world and that world is the world of people we know, places we go, the place we live and what we allow in our lives. Christ is part of my world and He has given me joy. I can't say that I'm always joyful, but Christ has taught me to be joyful. Praising the Lord and meditating upon His Word is a way to restore joy each day. Without him is emptiness like a desert place that never knew joy or can truly know it. Making Christ the most valuable part of our world comes first by accepting his gift of salvation, which he offers to every man, woman and child. Maintaining joy comes through a faithful life of meditation upon His Word, faith, singing, praising, thanksgiving and prayer. Keeping a clear con·science before God is also very important in maintaining joy. We can not continue in sin and continue in the joy of the Lord.
God resists the proud who will not humble himself and turn from sin, but he draws nigh to the humble one, who repents and turns from his sin. Maintaining a good relationship with Christ will enable us to know and live a joyful life. Though life has sorrows and troubles, like Paul and Silas who were thrown in a cold dark prison, we too can find joy through our problems.

He Is Near

HE IS NEAR

He is near;

always near;

Justifier of my soul.

His presence;

ever near.

His great love has made me whole.

While this world;

In it's grief.

tries our faith, our belief.

When He speaks;

It is sweet;

because I know He loves me.

Many tears;

Through these years;

But so much more joy to tell.

Cause my Lord;

fills my heart

with his love His Spirit dwells.

He is near;

always near;

Saviour of my soul.

Chorus: He Is Near

Susan Y Nikitenko

February 28th, 2016

This morning the Lord gave me a new Chorus. He Is Near. When we are children of God, On the day we were saved He came to dwell in our hearts. We were born again, made alive in Christ. With Him we can find joy in times of sorrow if we continue in faith, continue in the praising of Him. His peace gives relief and rest for our souls.

Have Confidence In God

Have confidence that Jesus saves to the uttermost;

And that God always keeps His Word.

He's still in the business of forever salvation ;

He's the joy of the message heard.

Have confidence that He can deliver us from evil;

He fills us with courage that wins.

He's still in the business of courageous living ;

He is the conqueror of sin.

Have confidence that God will never let us down;

He'll never leave or forsake us.

He's still in the business of a forever love;

Oh how great is His faithfulness.

Have confidence that God knows what He is doing;

Though we may never understand.

He's still in the business of giving us strength and hope;

In impossible circumstance.

Have confidence that God hears and answers prayer;

When our hearts are clean in Him.

God is still in the business of parting seas;

Just as if it were, way back then.

Have confidence that God is not through using you;

Forgive yourself and move on.

God is still in the business of great forgiveness;

Under the blood , our sins are gone.

Faith's Greatest Reward

He could never forget;

The sad words that he heard.

From a friend since childhood;

How heartbreaking His words.

He said,

"I don't need the Bible;

I don't need your Jesus.

Leave me alone I'm just fine.

I don't need religion;

I don't need you Christian.

I've had enough of your kind."

Heartbroken the preacher;

Walked away in his tears.

He had prayed for this man;

For so many long years.

But He didn't give up;

He prayed in faith for Him.

Cause love never gives up;

When you care for your friend.

He will never forget;

The day of rejoicing.

When His friend approached Him;

Said some heart stirring things.

He said,

"Will you get your Bible?"

Tell me about Jesus.

I'm ready to listen friend."

I know you've been prayin'.

God has spoke to my heart.

I want to live for Him.

Rejoicing the Preacher

With a shout, praised the Lord.

Glory Halleluiah!

Faith's greatest reward.

When love comes shining through;

When it is seen in you.

When a friend finds the Way;

Hallelu, Hallelu

Faith's greatest reward

Where Is Your Heartbeat?

Where is your heartbeat? Where is your love?

Where is compassion, the bible speaks of?

Jesus wept, He wept for hurting friends.

Come forth, come forth my friend, live again.

Lazarus came forth and his heartbeat stirred:

For the Masters voice, "Come Forth" was heard.

It looked as though all hope had flown away;

But God had a miracle planned that day.

Come forth, my friend, let your heart beat again;

Be renewed, find hope , find strength in Him.

He will remove the rags of sin and then:

You can rejoice, with much joy again.

Though things seem hopeless, the day be done;

There is hope beyond the setting Sun.

Where no tears will ever wet a cheek.

Where no burden will cast down the week.

Arise and know twill be worth it all;

Remember this world is temporal.

Then death will not take another soul.

Where every child will be made whole.

Where every hurt will be healed with balm;

At heavens thrown, in eternal calm.

Where the heart of love will beat evermore;

Where blessings await, not known before.

Where is your heartbeat? Where is your love?

Where is compassion, the bible speaks of?

Come forth, my friend, let your heart beat again;

No hope, No joy, No peace, without Him.

Come forth, my friend, let your heart beat again;

Be renewed, find hope , find strength in Him.

He will remove the rags of sin and then:

You can rejoice, and find hope again.

Psalms 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Oh Lord, My God, I Praise Your Holy Name;

Although I Know This World Has Many Woes.

Knowing Life Is Just A Vapor Of Time;

Then On We Go To Where Joy Overflows.

Heaven, Sweet Heaven, No Darkness, Just Light;

Heaven Sweet Heaven, No More Tears, No Pain.

Heaven Sweet Heaven: Home Of The Promise;

Where We Will Never Know Sorrow Again.

Where The Angels Gather To Welcome Us;

Where All Will Walk, Will Talk, Will Hear, Have Sight.

Continuation Of A Love Story.

The Great Love Of God In Christ The Beloved;

No Other Answer

There's no better love;

There's no better friend:

There's no better way;

For you to begin.

He's the King of kings;

He's the Lord of lord.

He will give you strength;

In this wayward world.

Friends will let you down;

Tears may fall like rain.

But God is faithful;

He brings hope again.

Don't go the wrong way;

Please don't fall away;

In His loving arms:

Is the place to stay.

Jesus is our joy;

He's for you to know.

Give Him first place:

His love fills the soul.

No other answer;

In a temp'ral world.

The answer for hope?

Make Jesus your Lord.

There's No Greater Joy

There's no greater joy;
Than serving the Lord.
Finding your purpose;
What God made you for.

Knowing that heaven;
Is our waiting home.
And in our Jesus;
We are never alone.

There's no greater joy;
Knowing God is real.
Knowing He still cares;
About what we feel.

There's no greater joy;
Than to look around.
And see His miracles;
Each one that is found.

In His creation;
All built by His hand.
The waving ocean;
The shimmering sand.

The highest mountains;
A land that is free.
And His flawless love;
For you and for me.

There's no greater joy;
upon a needy soul.
When God's compassion;
Has saved and made whole.

There's no greater joy;
Than serving the Lord.
Finding your purpose;
What God made you for.

Refresh Our Souls

The skies are smiling with the sunshine;
the flowers have started to grow.
Soon the tulips will bloom everywhere;
And Spring time will put on a show.

The daffodils will sway in the breeze;
And the grass a soft place to lay.
The birds will sing with glee together;
On a most beautiful Spring day.

Lord, refresh our souls in your sunshine;
Put within us revivals spark.
Let our hope bloom like a new spring day;
And put your joy within our hearts.

Jesus Is Like The Springtime

The birds appear to smile and cheer;
Because it’s springtime again.
The sweetness of the new born world;
Is like a comforting friend.

God created the springtime;
And the feeling it gives.
A dormant world in death;
Now becomes a world that lives.

Jesus is like the springtime;
That blooms and grows inside.
He is the friend of comfort;
In whom we can confide.

Jesus is like the springtime;
A joyful gentle breeze.
That fills our thoughts with hope
That fills our hearts with peace.

In Spite Of The Storm / ...Corrections

In Spite Of The Storm

Lord, fill my heart with the songs of your glory;
Of your love and of salvation story.
Fill my lips with the words you'd have me say;
Fill my heart with the prayer you'd have me pray.

Lead me in paths of truth, in your righteousness;
Make my life, a life that will truly bless.
Fill my hands with the tasks you'd have me do;
Lord, help me to love in a world turning on you.

I know you're a Savior who walks on the storms;

And just with a word your peace caringly warms.
Let our joy flourish through trials and test;
That we may reach someone who really wants blest.

As the winds whistle and winter storms blow;

And all the woodlands filled with beautiful snow.
Let our heart be clean and worthy in your site.

That we may shine brightly in the darkest night.

I know you're a Savoir who walks on the waves;

And if we start sinking you'll reach down to save.
Let our faith flourish in spite of the storm;
Each promise you've promised your're sure to perform.
