The Calling of Calvary

The Calling of Calvary

Once I heard Calvary

It was calling my name

Saying, sin has a price to pay

And you are in blame

I could not escape it

Nowhere could I hide

They could not be buried

The sins of my pride

I tried to excuse them

To dodge all my shame

I tried and I tried

But it turned out the same:

What is this Calvary

And why does it call

Why does it make

All my good seem so small

I run and I push

I use all my might

I know the battle’s lost

But still, I must fight

How could this happen

What have I done

To deserve such a battle

That cannot be won

I know what it is now

The price to be paid

For remission of sins

A life must be laid

Why must it call me

Why must I die

My bloods not enough

It will not justify

Wait! I can’t hear it

The calling has ebbed

Something is flowing

It’s warm and it’s red

Redemption has come

The call has been silenced

The heavens are dark

The Earth shakes with valance

Someone bore Calvary

And died on that tree

My burdens been lifted

I’ve been set free

What’s that I’m hearing

My name on the wind

Someone is shouting

THIS HUMAN HAS SINNED

A new voice now speaks

It holds power and presence

IF THEY’LL EXCEPT ME

I’LL PROCLAIM INNOCENTS

Down crashed that Calvary

Of the wicked and vile

He lost to my Jesus

When he took me to trial

Cause bowed down still shaking

From fear and relief

My soul was now spared

Through proclaimed belief

I’m cleaned and I’m cured

Freed from God’s wrath

I’ve chosen His mercy

The straight, narrow path

Once I heard Calvary

It was calling my name

Then I took Jesus

And He took my shame

Oh, what a victory

I must proclaim

Jesus in Heaven is

Now defending my name!!!!!

MYSELF

I've lived a life just for myself

I count the moments waisted

There is not hope within myself

The joys I've sought have faded

I'm forced to look inside myself

Beneath the mask I've painted

Your waiting here inside myself

though my love for You is tainted

Oh...

I am so lost without YouI can not even find my way

I thought I'd be just fine without You

But there's no purpose left

No there's no purpose..... without you

These pains grow deep inside myself

These pains that I created

I brought them here inside myself

I'm in a fog....Frustrated

you turn the time back on myself

Back to what I thought I hated

You are what's missing in myself

I'm seeking You belated

Cause....

I can't move without You

I can not even take a step

I've seen my world, so cold, without You

And there's no purpose left

No, there's no purpose...Without You

You are the purpose of myself

and I, in pride, betrayed it

Yet you won't leave me by myself

Your perfect love displays it

Oh, I'm nothing without You

I cannot even take a breath

I've seen my world so cold without You

and it has no purpose left

No, there's no purpose...without You

I'm With The Savior

I was floating through the air, though a place of light.

I felt no pain that day, and for the first time was alright.

I came upon a gate, it opened up wide.

There were others going through it to the other side.

Some of them where my age, older, younger too.

None of us were frightened, those this place was new.

I saw the Savior, He reached out to me.

He took me in His arms, and He held me tenderly.

I saw the Savior and the angels everywhere.

Mommy please don't cry, Daddy don't despair.

As I looked down through the sky, way down below,

I saw where we used to live and some places we would go.

I can see you Mommy, sitting all alone,

Looking out the window. Your grief is clearly shown.

I can see you Daddy, down on your knees.

Your face is in your hands, you cry, "Help me Father, Please"

But know...

I'm with the Savior. He reaches out to me.

he takes me in His arms and the holds me tenderly.

I'm with the Savior, and though it's hard to bear,

I'll wait for you in Heaven, cause I'm already there.

Sad Life of Loneliness

I've live a sad life of loneliness

Never ever thinking I'd be set free

Then I heard the beautiful story of Jesus

And I asked Him to come and rescue me

I found the promises in God's word

Now I know just how i'm gonna spend eternity

I'll be walking down the streets of gold

I'll be diving deep into the crystal sea

I'll be praising Jesus for all eternity

Because He took my sin and He set me free

Because He took my sin and He set me free

I'll find those lost deep in loneliness

Never ever thinking they'll be set free

Then I'll tell the beautiful story of Jesus

how He'll rescue them like He rescued me

I'll show the promises in God's word

we'll get lost in thoughts of how we'll spend eternity

We'll be with the angels singing God's praise

We'll be hearing Jesus calling out our names

We'll be seeing God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

And nothing about this life will ever be the same

No, nothing about this life will ever be the same

I'll be walking down the streets of gold

I'll be diving deep into the crystal sea

I'll be praising Jesus for all eternity

Because He took my sin and He set me free

Because He took my sin and He set me free

All Those Who Thirst

He came to a city no one thought He should

To speak to a woman that no one else would

She came to drawl water in the heat of the day

Her life to be changed by the words he would say

All those who thirst let them come to the Lord, and drink of the water of life

The water is deep, the water wide,

The water will quench and it is pure

The water it flows, the water it drawls

The waters God's word and it is sure

All those who thirst let them come to the Lord, and drink of the water of life

He came to a city to start a new life

His heart had been broke by the loss of his wife

One day he was sitting alone in a pew

The words he would hear there would help him start new

All those who thirst let them come to the Lord, and drink of the water of life

The water is deep, the water wide,

The water will quench and it is pure

The water it flows, the water it drawls

The waters God's word and it is sure

All those who thirst let them come to the Lord, and drink of the water of life

So look on the fields, God's reaching for them

You hold the key that will bring them to Him

They're thirsty, they're looking, be salt share His love

The gift of salvation sent down from above

Take the water, there's a world that is lost

Take the water so they'll never thirst again

Take the water....

Take the water.....

All those who thirst let them come to the Lord, and drink of the water of life

The water is deep, the water wide,

The water will quench and it is pure

The water it flows, the water it drawls

The waters God's word and it is sure

All those who thirst let them come to the Lord, and drink of the water of life

The Longest Walk

The longest walk she ever took was with a man named John.

He held her hand and spoke to her and took her to her son.

He told her that she should not go, it would cause her too much grief.

She had to go, she had to see, all she felt was disbelief.

She staggered through he angry crowd and saw her first born child.

His face was pale, He was drenched in blood, He was beaten and defiled.

She sang.....

This is the man who made the lame to walk.

This is the man who made the mute to talk.

He is the one who has walked where angels trod,

And He is the one who is THE SON OF GOD!

Trough pain of death she saw such peace, such love and forgiveness.

He bled and died upon that cross, His love for all confessed.

His life, His death, His resurrection all part of bigger plans.

Salvations gift came through the blood He shed for love of man.

The prophets words had been fulfilled, He sets the captives free.

once her child, but now her king, that's what He came to be.

She Sang....

This is the man who we saw raise the dead.

This is the man by whom multitudes where fed.

Jesus, my Messiah, my Savior, and friend.

Born as our Redeemer, offers life that never ends.

Waiting.....

Out in the cold

There is a young boy

He's standing alone

His face full of joy

Every week in a hurry

To make it on time

Up to the bus stop

through the muck and the grime

Sunday's he's special

He knows he is loved

His teachers all tell him

Of a God up above

But....

He's just a child standing there waiting

On the one day a week he's been anticipation

The hope in his heart Has started to numb

Cause he'll keep on waiting.... For a bus that won't come

Did they forget him

Did they not care

Was life too important

Not a moment to spare

He stands there in silence

Was it something he'd done

He feels all alone

With nowhere to run

Do they even notice

His cold empty chair

With no one to take him

He's missing.... What God has to share

Oh....

He's just a child, standing there waiting

On the one day a week he's been anticipating

The hope in his heart has started to numb

cause he'll keep on waiting... For a bus that won't come

DELIVERANCE

In the darkest, clouded, and coldest times in life

The pure white redemption of God drifts in

Like snow down from Heaven.

It covers us in a blanket of comfort and peace.

It covers the dirt, the hills, and the mountains in our lives

Until they blend together in the perfect brilliance of His glory.

They fade away into the background of the horizon

As if they never really were.

But we know they were there,

We remember them.

And now, we understand deliverance.

With God, nothing is impossible!

Confessed Confusion

Lord, I'm bearing my heart, I'm Holding back tears

confessing confusion that's been built up for years

I don't even know what's real and what's not

I'm lost in a fog and can't see what I've got

I think it, I say it, but my heart does not feel

Where is your power, and where is my zeal

Shed off my layers, pull them back like a peal

And prick at my heart till I know that your real

I'm lost in my ignorance and I drown in my pride

I know what I hopes there, but what's truly inside

Bring me to You Lord and hold me forever

Never let go and hide me like treasure

I am not happy here in the walk that I have

Show me Your ways and anoint me with salve

Take me from prideful, arrogant and unsure

mold me from childish and into mature

Take me right now Lord, but I want you to know

I am still worried and SO scared to go

I hope that one day when I'm at Your throne

Through all of my mess ups you'll still say, "Well done"

Do I know that Your there, do I really believe

This is my question, and that's why I grieve

I know that I'm lukewarm and long not to be

Help me to know Lord, that I've been set free
