Know You More

I have only scratched the surface,
This gift of great purchase.
Your words offer so much more,
Than I have seen before.

The mystery of Your vast glory,
And in Your Word, Your great story.
For I long to know You more,
And see what You have in store.

Knowing You more, I do believe,
When I ask I shall receive.
Knowing everything amounts to nothing,
Giving everything, You gave me something.

Second To None

He is second to none,
He is the Almighty One.
He is first and He is last,
God of the future and God of the past.

He is first in my life,
Amongst the pain and the strife.
He has my heart and my soul,
His voice my heart doth console.

When He returns, my crown He will receive,
All because on Him I did believe.
All is His and He is mine,
And He deserves all glory divine.

Second to none,
He is the King, when all is said and done.
Are you first or last?
Where in eternity is your lot cast?

I am last and Christ is first,
And those roles cannot be reversed.
Remember your place,
And remember His amazing grace.
 

Do Everything

I watched as Steven Curtis Chapman talked about writing his new 

song "Do Everything", and he brought forth the importance of doing 

everything to the glory of God. I think so many times that we forget 

who we live for. If you know Christ as your Savior, then you know 

the importance of doing everything no matter what it is for God's glory.

First Corinthians 10:31 speaks of this, "Whether therefore ye eat, 

or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."

You're picking up toys on the living room floor for the 15th time today Matching up socks and sweeping up lost Cheerios that got away You put a baby on your hip and color on your lips and head out the door And while I may not know you I bet I know you Wonder sometimes does it matter at all We'll let me remind you it all matters just as long as you Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you Cause He made you to do Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face And tell the story of grace With every move that you make And every little thing you do OOoh ooooh oooooh Maybe you're that guy with the suit and tie Maybe your shirt says your name You may be hooking up mergers, cooking up burgers But at the end of the day Little stuff big stuff in between stuff God sees it all the same And while I may not know you I bet I know you Wonder sometimes does it matter at all We'll let me remind you it all matters just as long as you do Everything you do to the glory of the One who made you Cause He made you To do every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face And tell the story of grace with every move that you make And every little thing that you do Well maybe you're sitting in math class Maybe anekatips on a mission in the Congo Maybe you're working at the office Singing along with the radio Maybe you're dining at a five star Or feeding orphans in Myanmar Anywhere and everywhere you are Whatever you do it all matters So do what you do and don't ever forget to do Everything you do to the glory of the One who made you Cause He made you to do Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face And tell the story of grace as you do Everything you do to the glory of the One who made you Cause He made you to do Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face And tell the story of grace with every move that you make And every little thing that you do Ooh oooooh Every little thing you do (Do Everything- Steven Curtis Chapman) Remember what you do because it is what God has allowed you to do.

How Do I?

How do I go forth into the unknown?
How do I make His glory shown?
I go with prayers and preparation,
And spread forth His Word across this nation.


How do I stand when all around me are falling?
How do I take on this servant's calling?
I stand in the strength of the Lord,
And though I suffer, great is my reward.


How do I bear this cross I am given?
How do I rejoice in my daily living?
I will bear it till He returns,
Because He is for what my heart yearns.


How do I let men go by?
How do I let men die?
I need to care for them more,
And let them know that my God can restore.


How do I take this message to the lost?
How do I remember what it cost?
I take it boldly to all men,
And let them know that Christ died for their sin.


-Wade Jinright

Boast in the Lord

Boast not in what you know,
But in Christ, who His love did show.
We may know a great many things,
But to Christ, we give our praise offerings.


Boast not in the strength of your arm,
Because in the end it can only do you harm.
We work to build up ourselves everyday,
And Jesus said that this is not the way.


Boast not in the money you've earned,
Because with this fire you could be burned.
Riches will only bring want,
And once gotten they will continually haunt.


Boast in the omniscient and almighty God,
The One who has constantly guided with His rod.
For knowing our God is better than all of these things,
And knowing Him, my praise to Him brings.


"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 9:23,24)
