"The Gift that Only You Can Give"

Thank you Lord
For your Grace
A grace that is given in your Son
For in Him
I've been enriched
All I speak
All my knowledge from

It's all because my life's
been bought in Christ

How great you are
How great you are
A message like no one
Salvation in your Son

How wonderful you are
Wonderful you are
Thank you for the gift
That only You can give

Oh Lord
You've been so good to me
Given me new life
And life eternally

When I fall
You pick me up
Put on my feet
And show me it is well
With my soul
With my soul

How great you are
How great you are
The reason why I sing
You're my everything

How wonderful you are
Wonderful you are
Thank you for the gift
That only You can give

Prince of Peace
King of kings
The River of Life

Wonderful Counselor
Redeemer
the Beginning and the End

How great you are

The reason I rejoice
The truth is in your voice

How wonderful you are
Wonderful you are
Thank you for the gift
That only is in You yeah

"There's No Such Thing As Perfect"

I've tried so many times
to get things right they just had to be great
And I know that never works
It builds my pride not my faith

So I surrender this part
I give you all my heart

There's no such thing as perfect
It doesn't even happen
But if you give your heart to Jesus
Things will happen

The only thing that matters
Is a heart for God in serving
It gains eternal value
And when things get rough...

It stops the searching.

"They that Wait Upon the Lord"

Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint. (KJV)

One of the most difficult places God will take you is by telling your heart this.

"I know you want certain things, even at times feel you need things such as a relationship, or feel there's a relationship that needs to be mended. But you have to trust me.

You have to trust that
my timing is the best. And in the mean time while you are waiting to hear from me: I will teach you what it means to serve, in all things be cheerful, and develop a strong devotional and prayer life. When it's all over (your own tailor made boot camp) you will see I was in control the entire time.

I just wanted to see you love me with your life. Not just with words-with action. Loving me is the way you treat people who you feel have wronged you. It's about breaking down that wall of pride. Focusing on more than just hurt feelings or emotional frustration. Serving me is about being a soldier. It's about seeing the "Big Picture". Me.
