I CAN’T BELIEVE MY EYES

 Isaiah 9:6

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on
his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

FATHER,

EVERYDAY THAT I AWAKE, MY SOUL BEGINS TO CRY

FOR TO US A CHILD IS BORN, DESCENDED FROM THE SKY

THE MIGHTY PRINCE OF PEACE, THE ONLY ONE TO RISE

THE EVERLASTING SON OF GOD, I CAN’T BELIEVE MY EYES.

THANK YOU FOR JESUS

IN HIS NAME I PRAY,

AMEN!

LEAVE MY FLESH ALONE

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

FATHER,

I’VE TRIED TO TELL THE DEVIL, TO LEAVE MY FLESH ALONE

IT’S SO HARD TO RUN THIS RACE, WITH ALL THESE BROKEN BONES

I KNOW THAT I WILL BE OK, AND SOON I’LL SEE YOUR THRONE

BUT UNTIL THAT DAY ARRIVES, SATAN, LEAVE MY FLESH ALONE

IN JESUS NAME I PRAY

AMEN!!!

FOLD MY HANDS TO PRAY

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

I’LL WRITE MY PAINS AWAY, AND FOLD MY HANDS TO PRAY

WITH ALL MY MIGHT I’VE WORKED REAL HARD AND MADE IT THROUGH TODAY

ONCE THE STARS HAVE FILLED THE SKY, I’LL HAVE NO WORDS TO SAY

THAT’S WHEN I WILL CLOSE MY EYES AND FOLD MY HANDS TO PRAY

IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN

JUST BE STILL

Psalm 46:10

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

I KNOW IT’S HARD, BUT JUST BE STILL

JUST WAIT ON GOD, HIS PERFECT WILL

WE WANT IT NOW, SO HARD TO CHILL

I KNOW IT’S HARD, BUT JUST BE STILL

IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN

AND THEN I MET IAN

 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will
for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

FATHER,

FOR THE LONGEST TIME I DIDN’T KNOW WHY I WAS ALIVE. AFTER ALL THE THINGS I’VE DONE, GOOD AND BAD, I COULDN’T FIGURE OUT WHY I WAS STILL HERE. MY DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION TOOK ME TO PLACES I CAN’T IMAGINE GOING TO TODAY. DANGEROUS NEIGHBORHOODS, DARK ALLEYS, ABANDON BUILDINGS, AND NOT TO MENTION THE JAILS, HOSPITALS, AND INSTITUTIONS. WHEN I LOOK BACK, I STILL WONDER WHY I’M HERE.

ON JULY 17, 2008, THIRTEEN YEARS AFTER BEING SHOT FIVE TIMES, I FINALLY SURRENDERED TO YOUR WILL.  THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO BEAT THE DISEASE OF ADDICTION OTHER THAN TURN MY WILL AND MY LIFE OVER TO YOU. EVER SINCE THAT DAY, THE VICTORY HAS BEEN MINE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WHO HAS SET ME FREE! THE DESIRE TO DRINK AND DO DRUGS HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM MY SPIRIT. MY LIFE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH THAT I SOMETIMES HAVE TO PINCH MYSELF JUST TO KNOW THAT I’M NOT DREAMING.

AND THEN I MET IAN. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I’M A FATHER. THANK YOU FOR BLESSING ME WITH THIS BUNDLE OF JOY. I AM SO GRATEFUL NOT ONLY TO BE ALIVE, BUT TO BE A FATHER AND TO HAVE MY SON SEE ME SOBER. I CRY TEARS OF JOY WHEN I THINK OF WHERE I WAS AND WHERE I AM TODAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE AND MERCY. IAN COULD HAVE BEEN COMING TO SEE ME IN THE HOSPITAL, IN PRISON, OR IN THE CEMETARY, BUT YOU MADE IT SO HE COULD SEE ME LIVING A HAPPY, JOYOUS, AND FREE LIFE.  I NOT ONLY WANT TO SHOW HIM HOW BELIEVING IN YOU CHANGED MY LIFE, BUT I WANT TO SHOW THE WORLD, AS WELL. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN!

JUST FOLLOW JESUS

Luke 3:16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. JUST FOLLOW JESUS, HE’S THE ONLY WAY I ONLY FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST, EACH AND EVERY DAY JUST FOLLOW JESUS, WITH HIM MY HEART WILL STAY I ONLY FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST,  IN JESUS’ NAME I PRAY AMEN!!!!

REPENT

 

Acts 2:38

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”   

FATHER,

PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS, I WANT TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT

I DON’T WANT TO LIE NO MORE, ARGUE, FUSS, or FIGHT

I REPENT IN JESUS’ NAME, MY SAVIOR AND YOUR SON

PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS, I FINALLY SAY I’M DONE

IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN!!!!

PSALM 23

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’ sake.

 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

WHEN ENEMIES ATTACK

Acts 16:31

And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved….

FATHER,

WHEN ENEMIES ATTACK, I CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY

I HOLD ONTO YOUR PROMISES AND EVERYTHING YOU SAY

I SURRENDER ALL MY WILL, AND LET THY WILL BE DONE

I CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY TO YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON

WHEN ENEMIES ATTACK, I PRAY FOR SELF-CONTROL

I PRAY THAT IF THEY HURT MY FLESH, THEY’LL NEVER HURT MY SOUL

I PRAY THERE’S NOTHING THEY CAN DO,  FOR JESUS SAID IT’S DONE

I  PRAY TO YOU MY FATHER AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON

WHEN ENEMIES ATTACK, I’M CONFIDENT AND SURE

NO LONGER DO I LOSE MY MIND AND BITE THE DEVIL’S LURE

I ALWAYS STAND MY GROUND, FOR JESUS HAS MY BACK

I CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY TO YOU, WHEN ENEMIES ATTACK

THANK YOU,

IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN

AND THEN I’M FREE

Psalm 6:9

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

FATHER,

YOU HEARD MY CRY AND SAVED MY SOUL

I PRAYED THAT YOU WOULD TAKE CONTROL

YOU GAVE ME LIFE, YOU GAVE ME BREATH

YOU SAVED ME FROM THE JAWS OF DEATH

SO NOW WHEN EVIL TRIES ITS HAND

I FIND THE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

AND THEN I’M FREE

THANK YOU,

IN JESUS’ NAME

AMEN!
