When I get too busy, I miss meeting with You 
So many times, I’ve shortened my morning rendezvous 
Other things seemed more important to my worldly eyes 
They did not perfect me, or make me holy and wise 

So many things to do-but there is a choice to make 
Eternity will prove true the road I choose to take 
If I decide to sow my seed into the realm of earth 
The harvest I receive will not have eternal worth 

I want everything I do to show forth Your glory
All my earthly deeds will then be my offertory
Let them rise, like smoke, to give you praise and pleasure
Then the motives of my heart will be my greatest treasure

Matthew 6:1-24
Luke 8:4-15

If you have come to the end of your rope 
There is something I want you to know 
Don’t believe that there is no hope 
Coming from heaven to you below 

I speak in ways that are hidden to man 
But if you search with all of your heart 
You will hear My voice detailing a plan 
That My wisdom and grace, hope to impart 

I know the end from the beginning 
And the way each one chooses to go 
Have faith in Me and let your heart sing 
So your destiny and purpose, you’ll know 

You must choose to believe in Me
And know I have an eternal plan 
Shedding My blood for lost humanity
I came to die for every woman and man

So, by faith move forward in My victory-
That is My will and purpose for you
Eternity will record your story
You overcame everything You went through

1 Corinthians 1:18-31
Revelation 7:9-17

My grace drifts from heaven, like the falling snow
Softly, slowly coating the harsh cold earth below
You could never earn this beauty coming from My throne
All the treasure of the earth could not for sin atone

Though your sins are scarlet, they shall be white as snow 
My Son paid the price for them on a cross not long ago
When you believe this, in your heart, you will be set free
From the law of sin and death and sin’s penalty

Your fallen nature always lives beneath this grace of snow
I’ve given you free will to live as My friend or foe
Your calling is to be conformed–to be like My Son
You’ll need My mercy and My grace before that day is done

Mysteries are revealed when I grant you deeper sight 
Dimensions will manifest and share its secrets with you
Will you now make time for a daily rendezvous? 

I invite you to dwell on My mountain with Me
Its secrets unending throughout eternity 
To all who will come, its gates are opened wide 
The King of glory invites you to come in and abide

Whoever does these things will never be shaken.”

Psalms 24, 37

What will I bring to God on the day that I die? 
A life filled with pleasure or a life crucified? 
Did I die to self so that sin would not reign?
A crown awaits those who ran the race, not in vain 

If I died with Christ, eternal life, I’ll acquire 
To delight in His Presence is my heart’s desire 
Eternity will prove true all the words in God’s book 
Rewards without end, for all who believed and partook 

When faith becomes sight, and we walk the streets of gold
The sites we see will be much greater than foretold
We’ll wish we did more for God in our time on the Earth
No suffering can compare to our God’s great worth

Romans 6:5-8 – “For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Me: 
I only want Your way, oh Lord, that is what I pray 
My heart is open to Your truth, teach me to obey 
Discipline and trust I’ll need to follow to the end
Disciples aren’t just servants, You call them Your friend 

Oh, to be a friend of God, what would that require? 
To remain close by Your side is what I aspire 
Like a branch in a vine, Your life flows into me
When I surrender to Your will, I’ll fulfill my destiny 

Lord:
If you remain in Me, and My Words you willingly do 
Ask whatever you wish and it will be given you 
Take the love I pour out and let it overflow 
You will bear much fruit and My kingdom then will grow 

Don’t let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid 
I will be your comfort, and I will give you aid
Isn’t that what friends do while living on this earth? 
I gave My life for you to show you your true worth

John 15:12-15 – “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”

John 15 

The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn 
When the morning star rises in the east, with a song 
Shining ever brighter until the full light of day 
Following the Son, who is our Life, Truth, and Way 

The way of the wicked is like the deep darkness of night
Because their ways are evil, they try to avoid the light
Filled with pride, they do not know what makes them stumble
Blindly, they fight God and His children, the humble

Whoever lives by the truth will come into the light
Being changed by God’s glory into His likeness bright 
Who may ascend the hill and stand in God’s holy place?
Those with a pure heart will one day see God’s face

It is settled in my heart, God’s Word I will believe 
God’s will plainly spelled out for all who will receive 
There is no excuse therefore, but to follow and obey
It’s the book that will be used when we reach judgment day 

This Word became a man and chose to dwell among us 
Displaying God’s love with deeds of the miraculous 
He willingly died to pay the price for all our sin 
To any who believe this, He will come to live within 

Search my heart, oh God, to find any wicked way 
Cleanse and heal my soul to keep me from going astray 
My faith will be tested when I reach for Your Word to achieve 
I’ll stand on Your promises given to all who will believe

John 1:1-14
John 3:1-21

When you eat of this bread and drink of this cup
You proclaim My death and the evil one’s plans disrupt 
They were defeated by My blood that was shed 
Crushing their victory with shock and much dread 

The spirit world’s rulers did not understand 
The blood of the Lamb was what My Father had planned 
Now, all who believe are set free from sin’s curse 
Their sins cast away further than the universe 

Gather together in remembrance of Me
It is by My blood shed that you have victory 
Proclaim My death until I return 
My enemy’s plans, you will then overturn 

My blood, My blood will not lose its power 
When you proclaim My blood, your enemies will cower 
By the blood of the Lamb, they were defeated 
What I have started, must now be completed

Me:
I need a word of hope, and direction to
See how they attack and Your Words they misconstrue
You are still the same and evermore shall be
What You’ve done for others You will do for me

Lord:
I have not changed and My Word is still alive
It’s My people who are dead and need to be revived
They don’t know My ways and My power they reject
Those who walk in faith and truth are ones that they suspect

It always was that way and will be until the end
It’s through persecution that you’re proved to be My friend
You would not need faith if all is well with you
You’re destined for great victories that I will see you through

For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
