Attributes Of You

Read Ecclesiastes 4:9
You don’t have to ask how I feel
You’ll never be second guessing
You don’t have to ask is this real
Because I know you are my blessing
 
The Lord has given me life
And a love so pure and so true
In part of His plan, He took my hand
Thank Jesus, that He led me to you
 
I really feel like a child
Excited, anxious, overflowing
With gratefulness, joy and love
In waiting my faith kept me going
 
The Lord has given me life
And a love so pure and so true
In part of His plan, He took my hand
Thank Jesus, that He led me to you
 
So overwhelmed, I can’t help but adore you (I adore you)
Someone so perfect and worth waiting for (I waited for you)
Guided by His presence above
You and I united in love
Our Father’s love
 
Soon we will be man and wife
My sweet, sweet love, you are my best friend
We’ll live the rest of our lives
Filled with purpose ‘til our last breath
 
The Lord has given me life
And a love so pure and so true
In my destiny, He chose you for me
Thank Jesus, that He led me to you
In my destiny, He chose you for me
Thank Jesus, He led me to you…
Jesus led me to you…
 
It’s you that I desire
He knows what I need
My Lord, He know my heart
You’re my destiny
Thank Jesus, He led me to you
 


Thank Jesus He Led Me To You

Father I am week.  Oh my Lord, I'm broken.  I am at your feet, longing for your touch.  Father, I have sinned, given in to worry.  Held my fear within, not trusting in your love.  But You've been waiting for me, to come to you surrendering.  My sins and burdens have come with a cost, yet you take the weight from me to carry on the cross.  But they won't weigh You down, You stand on solid ground, Your mighty strength resounds from heaven.  YOU ARE MY SAVIOR.
Jesus take control.  You know where I'm heading, when I choose the road...that leads me to lost.  I may have free will but I keep on forgetting, I can't do this on my own.  It's such a heavy cross.  I stumble down to my knees.  I lift my hands surrendering.  My sins and burdens have come with a cost, yet You take the weight from me to carry on Your cross.  But they won't weigh You down, You stand on solid ground, Your mighty strength resounds from heaven...YOU ARE MY SAVIOR.  
Your blood of sacrifice... the greatest gift You gave me.  You freely gave Your life...suffered and died to save me!
You've been waiting for me, to come to you surrendering.  My sins and burdens have come with a cost...yet you take the weight from me, to carry on your cross.  But they won't weigh You down, You stand on solid ground, Your mighty strength resounds.  No, they won't  weigh You down, You stand on solid ground, Your mighty strength resounds.  No!  They won't  weigh You down, You stand on solid ground, Your mighty strength resounds from heaven...YOU ARE MY SAVIOR.

You Are My Savior

I’m clean, I’m free
No more blame, no more shame
You took the nails for me
I’m renewed, Lord, I’m redeemed
I’m not enslaved because I’ve been saved
You took the nails for me

I felt unworthy, Lord
I just wouldn’t see
I didn’t try to understand
The plan you had for me

I let my arrogance
And my self-will
Take charge of a destiny 
That only You could fulfill

I jeopardized relationships
And hurt the ones  I loved
Never giving gratitude to 
My Father up above but now…

I’m clean, I’m free
No more blame, no more shame
You took the nails for me
I’m renewed, Lord, I’m redeemed
I’m not enslaved because I’ve been saved
You took the nails for me

I took the sinful way 
And opened the door 
That sucked me into nothingness
And left me wanting more

I filled my life with things
That could never feed by soul
Spinning in the darkness
I lost all control

I took my self-destruction
All the lies and tragedies
I laid them at your altar
And fell down to my knees and how

I’m clean, I’m free
No more blame, no more shame
You took the nails for me
I’m renewed, I’m redeemed
I’m not enslaved because I’ve been saved
You took the nails for me

Now I’m breathing
Now I’m living
You forgave me
I’m forgiving me, too
I can move on
I’m not paralyzed
You released me 
And you gave me new life!

Now I’m breathing (clean!)
Now I’m living (free!)
You forgave me
I’m forgiving me, too
I can move on (renewed!)
I’m not paralyzed (redeemed!)
You released me 
And you gave me new life!

I’m clean, I’m free
No more blame, no more shame
You took the nails for me
I’m renewed, I’m redeemed
I’m not enslaved because I’ve been saved
You took the nails for me

I’m clean, I’m free
No more blame, no more shame
You took the nails for me
I’m renewed, Lord, I’m redeemed
I’m not enslaved because I’ve been saved
You took the nails for me
 
Thank You, Jesus!
Praise You, Jesus!
Oh, My God, 
You are such a merciful God!
I don’t deserve You
Yet, You still love me!
Took all my past and cast it away
I’m clean

I’m clean, I’m free
No more blame, no more shame
You took the nails for me
I’m renewed, I’m redeemed
I’m not enslaved 'cause I’ve been saved
You took the nails for me!



You Took The Nails

I was searching, looking around, a friend took my hand and he sat me down.  He had a warm heart, he was filled with the Spirit.  Jesus is speaking, he said, can you hear it?

You see how He reaches for someone who's aching?
You see how He finds someone who is lost?
You see how He's given Himself without taking?
Forgiving our sins when He died on the cross!

Just think of us like a redwood forest
Roots join together and they intertwine
Jesus supports us, He gives us each other
A forest grows...one life at a time

See the forest with each of the trees
Redwoods stand together strong and tall
Rain and windstorms and floods they meet
Holding their roots of their faith through it all

Reach out to somebody you know who is aching
Look for someone you know who is lost
Give with an open hand without taking
Sacrifice without counting the cost

Just think of us like a redwood forest
Roots join together and they intertwine
Jesus supports us, He gives us each other
A forest grows...one life at a time

He's given us gifts and so much opportunity 
He wants us to grow and spread our roots
Reaching the community, one life at a time

Just think of us like a redwood forest
Roots join together and they intertwine
Jesus supports us, He gives us each other
A forest grows...a forest grows

Just think of us like a redwood forest
Roots join together and they intertwine
Jesus supports us and He gives us each other
A forest grows...a forest grows...a forest grows!

Building our home
Reaching the community
One life at a time!


One Life At A Time

Everybody's moving to a new song
Taking a part in their community
So much better when we work together
Isn't that how life is supposed to be

I can't wait on the sidelines 
And I can't walk on by
So I get into the game and play
I've only got one life

I want to make a difference
I want to make it count
I give it all for you, Jesus
'Cause I've only got one life
Just one life

What is life if I don't have a purpose
What is my life without a family
Of brothers and sisters loving one another
Isn't that how life is supposed to be

I can't wait for tomorrow
Time is ticking by
So I get into the game and play
I've only got one life so

I want to make a difference
I want to make it count
I give it all for you, Jesus
'Cause I've only got one life
Just one life

I want to shine so bright
Reflect Your holy light
Jesus, You're living in me
Put my life in your hands
And I'll do all I can
Isn't that the way life's supposed to be

Don't you know that
I want to make a difference
I want to make it count
I give it all for You, Jesus
'Cause I've only got one life
I'll give it to You

I want to make a difference
I want to make it count
I give it all for you, Jesus
'Cause I've only got one life
Take it, use it!

I want to make a difference
I want to make it count
I give it all for you, Jesus
'Cause I've only got one life
I'm gonna live it right
Shine through the light of Christ
In just one life!

Just One Life

We can feel you like the sun in the sky
Warming rays of sunshine that never die
Searching the Bible, wanting to know more
Anxious, waiting, wondering, what's beyond the door
'Cause we want to know You, our Lord, Jesus

Everything about You makes us smile inside
Bringing out a feeling that's so hard to hide
We will never stray, we will never doubt You
Everything You are and everything about You
Seem to melt into me, the perfect blend
Of sweet love and compassion
That never seem to end
Now that we found You, don't want to be without You
Oh, Jesus, there's something in everything about You!

When we're feeling happy or glad
When we're feeling lonely or when we're feeling sad
You're with us every moment of every night and day
We turn to You and pray to You and You show us the way
You really light the way

Everything about You makes us smile inside
Bringing out a feeling that's so hard to hide
We will never stray, we will never doubt You
Everything You are and everything about You
Seem to melt into me, the perfect blend
Of sweet love and compassion
That never seem to end
Now that we found You, don't want to live without You
Oh, Jesus, there's something in everything about You!

Take Your Spirit and fill my soul
Use my heart and mind
Help me find the buried treasures
You've given me inside
Show me what to do with them
Help me find the way
To glorify You, walk behind You
Lord, I want to say
We praise You, Jesus
Honor, follow, love and praise You, Jesus!

Oh, my Lord, there's something in everything about you!

Ooo, You melt into me, the perfect blend
Of sweet love and compassion
That never seem to end
Now that we found You, don't want to live without You
Oh, Jesus, there's something in everything about You!
Everything about You

Everything about You


Everything About You

Song written & recorded with 15 year old Dwyer High School students (Palm Beach Gardens FL)

Choices And Chances

Let Your Light Shine | ©2015 One Life for Christ

VERSE
This day is a warm invitation, a new revelation and I need to set the mood
To rise and praise in adoration…it’s a good sensation to lift it up in gratitude
When I feel the darkness setting in, I can call on You
When the clouds are rolling in
You’re the Son that shining through

VERSE
You see, I’m the kind who doesn’t ever ask for help
Lord, I need to ask now
Give me grace so I can run the race
I need your strength to get me through the mess now
In your list of endless busyness
And all I ask of You
I just call and always through it all
You’re the Son that’s shining through

BRIDGE
You give me light to guide my footsteps
Friends to make me smile and sing
Hope for tomorrow
And love to conquer anything

CHORUS
Let your light shine in the darkness, my Jesus
Let your light shine in the darkness, my Jesus

VERSE
I know that time is short, but the timing’s right and it’s the proper place now
To share the News about You, Lord, they see the joy is written on my face now
So I hope that it will open up their eyes 
So they can see You as I do
And in that moment they will realize
You’re the Son that’s shining through

BRIDGE
You give me light to guide my footsteps
Friends to make me smile and sing
Hope for tomorrow
And love to conquer anything

CHORUS
Let your light shine in the darkness, my Jesus
Let your light shine in the darkness, my Jesus

BRIDGE:
Because I’m shining, you’re shining, and we’re shining, ‘Cause the Son is shining through
I’m shining, you’re shining, we’re all shining

BRIDGE
You give me light to guide my footsteps
Friends to make me smile and sing
Hope for tomorrow
And love to conquer anything

Let your light shine in the darkness, my Jesus (shine on me)
Let your light shine in the darkness, my Jesus (shine on me)
Let your light shine in the darkness, my Jesus
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

2 Corinthians 4:6 NLT
For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
