Love Without Ceasing

Love without ceasing
It has no end
Your my Lord and my Savior
My Master, my friend

I could travel to a distant planet
And I would find you there
I could sail the seven sea's
And know that you are everywhere

The deepest depths, the Highest heights
No matter where I go
You are there in all your glory
And in your Spirit I must flow.

You are the Morning star, The rising sun
You set my heart ablaze
I can do nothing more but stand in awe
And sing of your glory and Grace

Psalm 36

There's an oracle in my heart
And it bubbles up through me
It speaks of wicked men
And the God they cannot see

The river of your pleasures
Flows to the fountains of your life
And the wicked shall not prosper
Where the Bridegroom meets the bride

The tallest of the mountains
And the deepest of the seas
Are smaller than your faithfulness
That surely covers me

From the river of life I drink
And it quenches all my needs
Beneath the shadow of your wings
I will tell of your mighty deeds

Psalm 32

Oh Lord when I kept silent
My bones indeed grew old
This drought has sapped my very life
Into slavery I've been sold

Yet even now I will cry out
And confess my sins to thee
You'll rend the heavens and come down
And in your presence I am free

And with my voice I did cry out
From a place where I was bound
Now is the time to cry to God
In a time when He may be found

And you shall be my hiding place
You will guide me with your eye
And you will lead me where you will
Even if I must surely die

Psalm 123

I lift my eyes unto my King
I lift my voice to you and sing
And all my heart to you I bring
O you who dwell in heaven

I place my hand into thy hand
On you alone I surely stand
To follow you and what you've planned
Is all I've ever wanted

So come Lord Jesus take your place
Within my heart I am amazed
Into thy holiness I gaze
And fall into thy mercy

They circle us, the strong, the proud
I hear the lion roar so loud
They would kill but they are not allowed
To touch the Lord's anointed

Psalm 14

The fool has said in his heart
That there is no God
And is corrupt in all of his ways
All the workers of iniquity
They have no knowledge
And are fast running out of their days

The Lord looks down from heaven
Upon the children of men
And is dismayed by all of their ways
For they have all turned aside
There are none do good
And are fast running out of their days

And out of Zion salvation comes
The Lord sets HIs people free
And Jacob rejoices and Israel is saved
For this day they have longed to see

Psalm 71

In you O lord I put my trust
When you put me to the test
You took me from my mother's womb
You are my Rock and strong fortress

My praise shall ever be of you
You've upheld me since my youth
My mouth is filled with your glorious praise
I gird up my loins with truth

When I am weak uphold me Lord
Some say I've been forsaken
O God do not be far from me
Arise my God, awaken!

O God who is like unto you?
May I praise you and never complain
Raise me up from my despair
O Lord, revive me again

Fog

I cannot see the road ahead
And yet I know it's there
I cannot always feel your presence
Yet I continue in my prayer

You will never leave me Lord
This I know is true
The storm has come and done it's worse
Now the sky above is blue

The sun is shining, the birds are singing
The tree's sway gently in the breeze
And once again I found out that
I'll find you on my knee's

Thank you Lord for your presence
It is so sweet to me
I marvel at your love and Mercy
I'm so glad that your grace is free

Psalm 76

You are glorious and excellent
In all the earth you reign
You are high and lifted up
Where no mortal can attain

Mighty armies marched against you
You people, Pharaoh tried to keep
They rode with chariots and horses
But they were cast into the deep

Who would raise their hands against you?
Where even demons fear to tread
The wrath of man shall praise you
And bow his knee to you instead

Knees shall bow and tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is King
Of those in heaven and on earth
All their praises they shall bring

Love Eternally

Oh love without ending
As vast as the sea
Oh mercy divine
Forever it will be

Oh infinite grace
It has no end
Eternal redemption
The heavens you'll rend

And all these flow down
From a mountain so high
That it reaches the heavens
And bursts through the sky

When I survey
The heavens above
I'm awed by the vastness
I'm awed by your love

Psalm 55

O if I had wings like a dove
I would surely fly away
If I could feel the rain from above
I would live another day

Yet I wander in this rainless place
And death is never far away
If I could only see His face
I would surely live another day

The wind and the storms are all around
And I cry out to God and pray
If I could break free and was not bound
I would surely live another day

I will cast my burden on the Lord
And He shall sustain me
I will lay down and rest in His word
And in His presence I surely shall be
