Your Joy Jesus

Is like the bubbling brook

That pierces the dark forest

Bring life and light

Laughter and refreshing

It leads me to rejoicing

Singing and praising

For all I have in You

Your Joy Jesus

Brought You here to earth

To bring healing and forgiveness

New life and re-birth

A joy You shared

With each person You released

From their suffering

Into Your Kingdom’s Peace

Your Joy Jesus

Kept You through the cross

In Your darkest moments

Kept Your love focussed on us

Joy was Your strength

Through that suffering and pain

The joy of seeing our rebirth

As Sons of God again

Your Joy Jesus

Rose with You from the grave

To live eternally

By God’s right hand

You rejoice in singing

Over every Child of God

As we reign with You

Made One in Your love

Your Joy Jesus

Bubbles up in us

Piercing our troubled moments

With Your loving Presence

Laughter, life, refreshing

It leads me to rejoicing

Singing and praising

For all I have in You

I rejoice in Your Presence in Your joy in me.

85. You God Determined

05/11/2018 Amanda Wilson

When I am ill and down

When sickness stalks my days

I remember Your promises

And hold on to them in praise

You God determined

I would be whole and holy

Blessed with every heavenly blessing

United, one with Jesus

I receive it now, thank You

I live in it now, praise You

When I am battered by others

And want to retaliate

I remember Your promises

And hold on to them in praise

You God determined

I would be whole and holy

Blessed with every heavenly blessing

United, one with Jesus

I receive it now, thank You

I live in it now, praise You

When my unmet needs seem great

And I cannot see my way

I remember Your promises

And hold on to them in praise

You God determined

I would be whole and holy

Blessed with every heavenly blessing

United, one with Jesus

I receive it now, thank You

I live in it now, praise You

When life seems a battle

And like nothing goes my way

I remember Your promises

And hold on to them in praise

You God determined

I would be whole and holy

Blessed with every heavenly blessing

United, one with Jesus

I receive it now, thank You

I live in it now, praise You

When my spirit is downcast

And sadness stalks my days

I remember Your promises

And hold on to them in praise

You God determined

I would be whole and holy

Blessed with every heavenly blessing

United, one with Jesus

I receive it now, thank You

I live in it now, praise You

Open my eyes to see

Make Your promises manifest in me

I want to live Your promises

And share them in praise

You God determined

We would be whole and holy

Blessed with every heavenly blessing

United, one with Jesus

I live in it now, thank You

I share it now, praise You

A meditation on

“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.”

Ephesians 1:3-4 NLT

84. So Much More

4/11/2018 Amanda Wilson

Abram wanted a child

To keep his family line alive

But you gave him so much more

That nations come from his line

All he did was blessed

And he lived a long life

Joseph had dreams

That made his brothers wild

But you gave him so much more

That he became their saving lord

All he did was blessed

And he lived a long life

Moses tried to save

One brother, a slave

But You gave him so much more

A nation to rescue

All he did was blessed

And he lived a long life

Job was blessed living Your way

When satan took so much away

But you gave him so much more

In knowing You face-to-face

All he did was blessed

And he lived a long life

David was a shepherd

Who put Goliath in the grave

But You gave him so much more

A kingdom to reign

All he did was blessed

And he lived a long life

Jesus is Your Son

Who went for us to the grave

But You gave Him so much more

Your Kingdom to reign

All He did was blessed

And He lives life eternal

We are Your Sons and Daughters

Who Jesus did save

But You gave us so much more

One with Jesus we’re remade

All we do is blessed

And we live in life eternal

For You are the way

Through to the right end

That brings glory to Jesus

My Lord, Saviour and Friend

When it seem like Your voice

Is silent and quiet

Even then I will trust

For You are the way

Through to the right end

That brings glory to Jesus
