THE MISSION

Written for my family as they move to Cameroon, Africa to share Jesus love with the people there.

Rejoicing in all God has done.
In your lives, I see Him displayed
As your greatest treasure of all;
Your mission: to proclaim His name.

Fix Your eyes on Christ…Run hard to the goal.
Consider the work He has done, He has saved your souls!

Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.

Cheering you on as you go
As you make much of Jesus today,
Considering all else as loss
Compared to the Savior’s name.

Fight the battle of faith…stand firm in Christ.
Trust Him with all of your heart, give Him your life.




Praying for you in my heart.
May God’s sustaining grace push you on
To follow Christ outside of the camp,
Calling the nations to join the song!

Jesus is mighty to save
For while yet sinners He died in our place.
Shout---shout His praise For He has given us grace!

The Strength of the LORD

1. No strength of mine to give
No might or skill or worth
No wisdom of my own to offer
In accomplishing Your work.


2. O Lord, your strength is mine
Your might, Your skill, Your worth
Your wisdom You bestow
To accomplish Your work.


SO MY SOUL, GO FORTH IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD,
WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT.
TRUST THE PROMISE OF HIS WORD:
HE IS WITH YOU IN FAITH’S FIGHT.


DO NOT DELAY IN TRUSTING IN THE LORD.
HIS HAND WILL GUIDE YOUR WAY.
HE OFFERS MERCY IN HIS WORD,
TO THOSE WHO WILL CALL UPON HIS NAME.


3. So from weakness I’m made strong
From poverty made rich.
From the wisdom of Your word,
I find reason to live.


4. Your glory is my joy;
Your praise my life’s theme.
In Your beauty, I am clothed,
By Your blood, I’m made clean.


SO MY SOUL, GO FORTH IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD,

WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT.
TRUST THE PROMISE OF HIS WORD:
HE IS WITH YOU IN FAITH’S FIGHT.


DO NOT DELAY IN TRUSTING IN THE LORD.
HIS HAND WILL GUIDE YOUR WAY.
HE OFFERS MERCY IN HIS WORD,
TO THOSE WHO WILL CALL UPON HIS NAME.


5. I press on through weakness and through fear;
Through struggle and through strife;
Trusting that You are always near,
To be my help in this life.


6. Now in You I’m made strong;
In You I have courage to stand.
By Your grace I know I’m held
By Your righteous right hand.


SO MY SOUL, GO FORTH IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD,

WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT.
TRUST THE PROMISE OF HIS WORD:
HE IS WITH YOU IN FAITH’S FIGHT.


DO NOT DELAY IN TRUSTING IN THE LORD.
HIS HAND WILL GUIDE YOUR WAY.
HE OFFERS MERCY IN HIS WORD,
TO THOSE WHO WILL CALL UPON HIS NAME.

I Surrender

I surrender all of me
At Your feet I humbly bring,
All my hopes and dreams
For You to take and transform.

Transform my heart to be like You,
To do the things You call me to
To live my life all for You
In full consecration.

JESUS YOU ALONE ARE MY SUPPLY
IN YOU I LIVE---TO ME I DIE.
ONLY YOU WILL SATISFY,
THIS THIRSTING SOUL AND MORTIFY
THE SIN IN ME AND MAKE ME CLEAN;
I SURRENDER...YES, I SURRENDER.

The pain is great
The road is tough,
But Jesus' strength is enough
To sustain me through all of life...I surrender

And when my soul cries out in pain,
I must never forget that Jesus' name
Is my strong tower through any storm
And He will see me through.
I surrender...Yes, I surrender.

JESUS YOU ALONE ARE MY SUPPLY

IN YOU I LIVE---TO ME I DIE.
ONLY YOU WILL SATISFY,
THIS THIRSTING SOUL AND MORTIFY
THE SIN IN ME AND MAKE ME CLEAN;
I SURRENDER...YES, I SURRENDER.

Jesus, Lover of my Soul

Jesus, Lover of my soul,


My greatest joy…in You I am made whole.


Your love is truly better than life,


And I will live with my eyes fixed upon Christ!






Unto You Lord, I lift up my voice.


To declare Your praise…in You I rejoice!


You Are the way, the truth, the life;


You took my place and have given me new life!

My Savior My God

July 5, 2010

I have a new favorite song: My Savior My God by Aaron Shust. I absolutely love the words to it. The chorus goes like this:

My Savior loves, my Savior lives,
My Savior’s always there for me!
My God He was my God He is
My God He’s always gonna be!

My heart nearly explodes with joy as I listen to it on my MP3 player. I find it such an encouraging, uplifting song especially as I go throughout my day, working with unbelievers who do not believe in Jesus. They have their own philosophy on life and Christ is definitely not apart of it. They do not love Him nor do they think He’s real. But when I listen to this song I hear the truth from God’s Word spilling out. MY SAVIOR LOVES! It does not matter what any of my fellow Coasties think or say---I am a child of God and He loves me. Jesus loves me and has saved me. MY SAVIOR LIVES! Jesus is not a fairy tale or some prophet of long ago---He is real and true and the Son of God who died to set me free. He is always with me, He will never forsake me, He is my God who I will serve and honor.

The battle rages fiercely and my heart is drained of power and joy when I listen to the so called “worldly wisdom” my friends live by. They are looking out for #1, living for worldly pleasures, satisfying their own lusts, and seeking their own glory. I am bombarded with Satan’s lies that God will not satisfy me, and that He’s holding out on me that which will make me happy; but amidst it all the cross remains rock solid and unwavering. So I fix my eyes on the cross and I press on knowing that my Savior lives and He loves me. My heart is set free by this good news of great joy. I am so happy that Jesus loves me and that He has saved me and made me His! This is the joy that fills my being.

Remember The Lamb

Draw near to the cross of Christ. Remember His nail pierced hands.
He was pierced for our transgressions; crushed for our iniquities.

Remember the Lamb---the Lamb of God! Who suffered in our stead, and bore the wrath of God. Remember His wounds that healed our souls! He was forsaken by His Father, now such pain we’ll never know. Remember the Lamb!

Know and rely upon God’s love. Rejoice in the risen Son.
He conquered the power of death and crushed the chains of our sin.

Remember the Lamb---the Lamb of God! Who died that we might live reconciled to God. Remember His wounds that healed our souls! Now we are received by His Father, such joy we’ll always know! Remember the Lamb!
