The second song I wrote words to back in 2002 at Jeff Paynes

Prayer

 Based off of Exodus 3:14 for about 2 years now I've been saying this phrase "Even now, I Am!"  As a reminder to myself that no matter what I'm going through God is in control. Our situations change daily and in All of it, God is still on His Throne, Holy and in control. In the bridge I also go through the 7 I Am statements of Christ starting at John 6:35.
That's what this song is about, the GREAT I Am. I hope it blesses you:
v1
Getting tired Giving in Giving up our way to win
Pressing on even now, I Am
Whats the truth whos to say
its been changing everyday
Pressing on even now, I Am
If the truth changes is that not a lie?
Living by faith we will not compromise
Even now, I Am
God is in Control
Every situation
Seated on His throne
Shining in the darkness 
revealing all thats right
testify lifting high the Great I Am
By His word battles rise
earnestly fight for the prize
pressing on even now, I Am
Steady victory is won
Ready our eyes on the Son
Pressing on even now, I Am
if the truth changes is that not a lie?
living by faith we will not compromise
repeat chorus
I Am the Bread of Life, I Am the Light of the world
I Am the Door I Am the Good Shepherd 
I Am the Resurection and the Life
I Am The Way, The Truth and The Life
I Am The Vine
Repeat Chorus

Even Now I Am

We'll I heard Christmas songs at Kohls this week so I thought I better get with it and put out our Christmas song😄This was written 2021 Christmas Season. The pix is the manger scene I use every year! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Blessed New year!
Verse 1
Among the many presents underneath my Christmas
Long ago a Gift was born, born for you and me
A Savior in this baby, so the wise men came.
King s and humble shepherd boys worship Him this day
Tag
In a lowly manger our long awaited Savior
Gift of Love and Light
Born to us this Christmas night
Chorus
The star in the East leads to our King ( Background vox repeat Oh Holy Night Oh Holy Night)
This Holy Night Oh Holy Night
The Promised One creation sings
This Holy Night Oh Holy Night
Verse 2
There’d been no word from Heaven
Til the Christ Child cried
A darkened world now full of hope 
In one soft little sigh
Mary held her baby Joyful Angels fill the sky
Sing Glory in the Highest Peace on Earth to All Mankind
Repeat Tag and Chorus

(snare for a drummer boy feel)great job Josh(16 @ the time)!
Bridge
With wonder we welcome the King of Kings Emmanuel Emmanuel
Repeat 4 times
Then repeat Chorus


This Holy Night

" I once was lost but now am found; was blind but now I see!"
Lyrics from popular old hymn that continue to "shed light" on the wonderful experience of coming to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
Duty to delight in the Lord means "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him" (John Piper Christian Hedonism) 



Duty Of Delight

Order my steps, O Lord 
Establish the way               
I trust in You with all my heart
I honor Your name
Steady my steps, O Lord
Keep my heart pure
Let me walk in Your promises
Where I'm secure               

Let all things work together for good
He will change those shadows into light
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls, becoming our delight
All things work together for His purposes and His plans
Beyond our understanding at times
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls
Becoming our delight

Establish my steps O Lord
As I try to plan my way
Lead me and guide my feet
For Your namesake
Keep my paths straight, Lord
Keep me upright
Let no temptation hinder my life

If all things work together for good
Then He will change our shadows into light
And He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our soul becoming our delight
All things work together for His purposes and His plan
Beyond our understanding at times
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls 
Becoming our delight
He’s comforting our souls 
Becoming our delight

Every Step

Verse 1
Just a little bit of light is all we need
All that we need each day
Some days are clear but some days are dark
And we need Your light to lead the way
Chorus                        
The light of Your word
The light of Your truth
The light of Your presence
The presence of You
All that we need as we walk through the night
Is the light, is the light, is the light let there be light
Verse 2
So walk in the light  as He is in the Light
Every day, every day, every day again and again
And live in this Light that purifies you
And washes your sins away—the light You send
Chorus
The light of Your word
The light of Your truth
The light of Your presence
The presence of You
All that we need as we walk through the night
Is the light, is the light, is the light let there be light
BRIDGE < Instrumental>
Chorus
The light of Your word
The light of Your truth
The light of Your presence
The presence of You
All that we need as we walk through the night
Is the light, is the light, is the light let there be light
Is the light, is the light, is the light let there be light

Let There Be Light

"May this Day" provides us with a reminder to start our day off right by praising the Lord and thanking him (in advance) for the blessing He plans to provide once again today(Gift of Life). The song also encourages the listener "to be Christ" to the others we come in contact with today! The upbeat simple melody makes the tune easy to carry around with you all day too!

May This Day

Verse 1
Living God I come to you
Supplying me my daily food
Living God…   I come to You
Providing me our daily bread
The food of life.  That’s what you said
Living God…  I know it’s true 
Chorus 
Living God you have made a way for me
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Verse 2
God of life I lift You up
What You provide is quite enough
Living God…   I lift You up
Giving me what I need most
Sustaining grace to keep me close
To Your side…   Living God

Chorus 
Living God you have made a way for me
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Bridge
God of the life…   You have given to me
Born from the water and Spirit— I’m complete
And the life... I now live… in the body… I live
By faith in the living God 

Outro 
Living God you have made a way for me 
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!
