He wore it for us

There's SomeOne who knew the betrayal of friends

Who held in Himself  our beginnings and ends

He carried our shame and the depths of our sin

So that we might attain true salvation within

He wore for us all, the crown of our shame

And bore on the Cross the weight of His Name

Redeemer and Savior and Rescuer of all:

He forgave every sinner the great ones and smalll

They led Him away but it was our sins He carried

He went to His death like one getting married

He knew in His heart this great mission He bore

And accepted our sins that made Him so torn

He wore  for us all, the crown of our shame

And bore on the Cross the weight of His Name

Redeemer and Savior and Rescuer of all:

He forgave every sinner the great ones and small

Three hours of agony and excruciating pain

Everyone ran away ; but those chosen to remain

He saw there the faithful that would ever come to be 

And cried out for forgiveness for sinners like me

He wore for us all, the crown of our shame

And bore on the Cross the weight of His Name

Redeemer and Savior and Rescuer of all:

He forgave every sinner the great ones and small

The king of the Universe and the Savior of all

Allowed Himself this suffering, this terrifying call

Of carrying our  shame and the sins of us all

He buried our guilt and wants us to recall

He wore  for us all, the crown of our shame

And bore on the Cross the weight of His Name

Redeemer and Savior and Rescuer of all:

He forgave every sinner the great ones and small

The irony of Palm Sunday

The same people who waved their palms of praise and  adoration

Would cry out for my crucifixion and my utter desecration

I knew that this would happen and that   it was all supposed to be

So I   embraced it all most willingly and readied for  Calvary

It isn't the hip hip hurray that I seek and want from  you

But rather a loving heart and those hidden things you do 

For one day a person can praise you and another day tear you down

If you would be My disciple..  let your loyalty be your sound

The fakeness of it all I knew and would  let it all begin

They waved their hands and palms but I knew the price of sin

Hail hail, the mighty King :  the song they spread around

Would be followed  up  by a chorus,  that had Me tortured  and cruelly bound.

It isn't the hip hip hurray that I seek and want from  you

But rather a loving heart and those hidden things you do 

For one day a person can praise you and another day tear you down

If you would be My disciple,  let your loyalty be your sound

I went from all of those festivities  to the days of Calvary

I experienced the greatest excitement then was left abandoned as can be

I let it all happened ...I tell you . .I could have stopped it, at any time

But then you wouldn't have  had your Heaven or promise of salvation sublime

It isn't the hip hip hurray that I seek and want from  you

But rather a loving heart and those hidden things you do 

For one day a person can praise you and another day tear you down

If you would be My disciple..  let your loyalty be your sound

Now is the moment

Turn it all  off now and quiet your mind

See how much beauty you are able to find

Inside  the quietness and without any  noise

You should begin hearing God's subtle voice

Now is  the moment and now is the time

Try to be creative, you don't need to rhyme

Think of His greatness and think of your God

All that He's given you: all that you have got

Write it all down now: in list form, or  not:

All that is beautiful and things you forgot

Blessings and memories and heartaches and pain

Let them all come out like pure falling rain

In all that is happening He's here, now, for you

He's always been present; He'll  carry you through

Whatever is difficult: the   hell, fire or cold

Just leave a door open:  He'll rescue your soul..

 

So sing out for the moment and sing out, with love

To Him, Who has given  us so much  from above

He's always a Creator and is giving us new things

We only have to look out to see what He brings..

Everything's a gift

Before the sun rises and brightens our skies

Creatures are singing and   asking us to  rise

To join in their melodies and join in their song

We welcome the morning and we shuffle along..

The sunlight starts shining and dancing around

With garments, all glowing and treasures unfound

It touches the universe; and  creates such a shine

That everything it lands on becomes so Divine

Everything's so beautiful and this we can see

God is in love with us... loves you and me

He made us, so perfect and gave us so much

We can always behold Him and feel His sweet touch

So let us be thankful and share it around

God is so awesome, and  wants to be found

By everything created; and,  in everything seen

God calls us to be with Him: you know what I mean?

Cries from the earth

I am looking for that one,big,  miracle that'll make everything all aright

Someone Who'll reach down and spread healing to everyone far and wide

Our world is so sorely broken and so many fallen down in awful war

A whole entire nation is looking like  rubble and so much smoking floor

How can we not all feel it... all those terrible ..cries.. within

Brother  and sister Ukranians brutally murdered by  a wild man's sin

Though we may not be, at all,  related... we are, related through God above

How can we not all dig down inside us and plead mercy and unrelenting love

I guess we have all grown so numb to the suffering and pains of one another

That we look away from  news that tells us that we lost one more sister or brother

Family we may not claim to be kin to but  are bound to through our rebirth

Are now crying out to us for consideration as they lay dying upon this earth

Love like God

We're not here to fuss and fight

Let us bring our Savior's  Light

Called by birth to set all free

Let us live what we believe

You cannot be God's child.. it's true

If you bear hatred inside of you

For God is love and love we share

So that God  can be everywhere

Do not think that God could hate

Some poor sinner or reprobate

For He can only send out love

That is all He is capable of

Like our Father to Whom we pray

Let us shine on along the way

Giving  to all with selflessness

Readying our hearts for Heaven-ness
