NEW YEAR

 

This year is flying by,

and soon a new year.

When we look back,

it becomes very clear.

We had good times,

sometimes it was bad.

And we've been blessed,

we don't forget that.

So now we look ahead,

and we stay focused.

There will be challenges,

that will test us. 

Because we can't ignore,

there's violence everywhere.

The hatred is spreading,

we can't avoid it anywhere.

But we have hope,

during times of trouble.

We can overcome it,

even when we struggle.

Because we have Jesus,

the one we rely on.

Remember what he can do,

and also what he's done.

So in the new year,

let's continue to pray.

We read the bible,

and help someone today.

So whatever we can do,

we have this assurance.

God is in control,

so let's make a difference.

WHY JESUS CAME

 

It's our Savior Jesus,

who came down from heaven.

He became like us,

and lived back then.

He lived this life,

to fulfill God's plan.

He came to save us,

every woman and man.

The time he spent,

the impact Jesus made.

The hope he's given us,

the love he displayed.

He healed so many,

a lame man can walk.

Blind man can see,

while another can talk.

Then the ultimate sacrifice,

he paid for our sins.

That's why Jesus came,

it's where salvation begins.

And now we wait,

he will come again.

To take us home,

to be with him. 

WHAT THE BIBLE REVEALS

 

There were amazing things,

that happened in God's word.

Some it seemed impossible,

but not for the Lord.

The sun stood still,

parting of the Red Sea.

A donkey could talk,

 blind man can see.

Water turned into wine,

and how Jesus arrived.

Valley of dry bones,

that all came alive.

God fed the Israelites,

with manna from heaven.

A prophet named Elijah, 

was fed by a raven.

Moses struck a rock,

and the water flowed.

Leprosy man was healed,

a dead man rose.

Grass wet with dew,

and yet the rag was dry.

Peter caught a fish,

with a coin inside.

A demon possessed man,

evil spirits taken out.

There is even more,

I could tell you about.

But now it's time,

you open up the book.

The bible will reveal more,

when you take a look.

BECAUSE OF JESUS

 

I've had my setbacks,

more than I remember.

Despite those difficult times,

there was my Savior.

When all seemed lost,

he pulled me out of darkness.

He restored my soul,

and there was his forgiveness.

Because of Jesus,

I was saved.

Even though I sinned,

and mistakes I made.

He came to rescue me,

when he heard my prayer.

So my past sins,

they're no longer there,

WHAT WOULD I DO,

WITHOUT GOD'S MERCY?

WHAT WOULD I DO,

WITHOUT MY SAVIOR?

WHAT WOULD I DO,

WITHOUT GOD'S AMAZING GRACE?

WHEN MY SINS DESERVED DEATH,

JESUS TOOK MY PLACE.

Throughout my life,

I chased my fleeting dreams.

In pursuit of happiness,

or so it seems.

It turned out,

I was fooling myself.

When deep inside,

I hid my sinful self.

But there was hope,

there was my Savior.

I needed his help,

more than ever.

Because of Jesus,

I was set free.

I thank him everyday,

what he's done for me.

WHAT WOULD I DO,

WITHOUT GOD'S MERCY?

WHAT WOULD I DO,

WITHOUT MY SAVIOR?

WHAT WOULD I DO,

WITHOUT GOD'S AMAZING GRACE?

WHEN MY SINS DESERVED DEATH,

JESUS TOOK MY PLACE.

WE WORSHIP THE LORD

 

We're going to church,

it's our place on Sunday.

Where we gather together,

on this special day.

It's for all of us,

to take part in this.

To glorify the Lord,

in the presence of his holiness.

It's time for thankfulness,

a time to rejoice.

We lift our hands,

and raise our voice.

We join the choir,

to sing songs of hymns.

To our Savior Lord,

we give praise to him.

So every song we sing,

every prayer we pray.

We remember the reason,

why we do this today.

It's more than the music,

it's more than the song.

It's more than a feeling,

we worship the Lord!
