A Prayer
Jesus, You are all I need,
All that I desire.
Protect me from my sinful thoughts, 
Keep my soul on fire

Help me know that You are God, 
Full of might and power.
I see it in creation,
In every leaf and flower.

You are great and awesome, Lord.
I know this to be true.
Help me stand upon your word
And make me more like You.

Jesus, You are all I need,
All that I desire.
Protect me from my sinful thoughts, 
Keep my soul on fire

Thank You Jesus.
Amen

He Knew
He knew he was praying
	For people who'd sin
For people who'd fall
	Again and again
He knew he was praying
	For people who'd lie
But he chose to 
	Pray and then to die.

Thank you Lord for
	What you did
I might have run I
	Might have hid
Thank you lord for
	Always knowing
Thank you for the grace that
	Keeps on flowing.

'THANK YOU'
Lord, you are so marvelous
It totally blows my mind
When I try to run my life
I feel completely blind.

Then you turn the nightlight on
And I finally see,
That, even in the darkest times
You're watching over me.

Your grace and mercies are abundant
You're always speedy to forgive.
So I'll remember that, for You, God,
I have a life to live.

excerpts from Doug's poem


You are Great
God, You are so marvelous,
You prove it every day.
And though sometimes I stumble,
You're with me all the way.
You're the only thing that's true
Whenever I'm down, I look at You.
I want to stay within Your arms,
You will keep me from all harm.

Spirit vs. Flesh
My flesh is filled with longing,
My spirit filled with dread,
But my spirit is prolonging,
And my flesh is simply dead.

I will not listen to my flesh.
The one that brings me down
My spirit lifts me higher up - 
My flesh wants me to drown.

Drowned in sin forevermore
Gone too deep to revive
Only God can get me out
And keep me safe: alive.

Marvelous Lord

Mercy and grace I see in His face.
Amazing love, how can it be?
Reigns on high eternally 
Voice of peace and truth
Eternal kindness and goodness
Like a rock, He is our foundation
Our God, He is great
Under every circumstance, He is there
Savior, Master, Marvelous Lord

Daniel

Leaving Me Breathless
Your sunsets and human creation reflect your beauty,
Your unconscious love runs continuously through me.
When bad times come you give us hope
Your faithfulness it helps us cope.

Your forgiveness leaves me completely restless
As the Son of God laid on the cross breathless
Yet we still sin, we still fall so short
We still don't even show we care about
The perfect one who hung up there� breathless

Thank You
Thank you for creating us
And for forgiven sin
	Thank you for your faithfulness
And the homes that we live in.

	I thank you for all answered prayer
For dying on the cross
	For, whenever I needed you, Being there
And for helping me deal with loss

	Thanks for always loving me
And for helping me help others
	Thank you for my family
And for sisters and for brothers.

	Thank you for giving me what I need
And for picking me up when I'm down
	Help me to make the Bible my creed
And to spread the word around.

	Thank you for always being with me
And for healing my sinful heart
	Thank you for opening my eyes to see
That you're with me from finish, to start.

Our marvelous God helps us
Through each obstacle of the day
He turns us in the right direction
When we're headed the wrong way

God painted the skies blue
And splashed pink into the sunsets
He takes away our guilt
So we don't have any regrets

He listens carefully to every prayer
And takes away our fear
So that we never have to worry
That he isn't near.

God's mercy, love and grace
Can change the way you live
And even though we make mistakes
He never ceases to give.

Draw me close to you
Make me a better person
Use me to help people

	For the cross
	For forgiveness
	For answering prayer
	For changing me
