When I’m aware of Jesus’ Presence

And His love divine

I can rest, drink in His love

And know that all is fine

Because He’s done all the work

To make me God’s child

To know the old me is dead

Sin no longer controls me

To bring me to God’s side

I rest in Jesus’ authority

To make me God’s child

And His joy so sweet

I can dance, sing for joy

And know He is my strength

Because He’s done all the work

To make me God’s child

Sin no longer controls me

I have a new life instead

And His peace so deep

I can rest, be filled with peace

And know in Him I am complete

Because He’s done all the work

To make me God’s child

And know in Him I’m overcoming

Because He’s done all the work

To make me God’s child

.

The freedom of Your rest

It captivates me

For it’s there I find Your Joy

And Your Love is so deep

When all striving is ceased

And in Your arms I lean

And I know I’m deeply valued

Because You died for me

.

Jesus, Jesus, You captivate me

With Your life in me for eternity

.

The joy of Your Presence

It captivates me

The life, love and laughter

That flows from You to me

As You rejoice in our love

And our unity

It overcomes all darkness

And to joy sets me free

.

Jesus, Jesus, You captivate me

With Your life in me for eternity

.

The love in Your Presence

It captivates me

And heals all past wounds

No matter how deep

It renews my heart and spirit

Making me complete

As your love like a river

Overflows in me

.

Jesus, Jesus, You captivate me

With Your life in me for eternity

The peace of Your Presence

It captivates me

Breaks all chains of judgement

To pass Your peace to others

And see them released

To live in Your Presence

One with You eternally

.

Sometimes I struggle

To love those I meet

They are not the sort of people

With whom I can agree

But Your love rises up

And flows out of me

And I see them with Your eyes

And know Your love for them is deep

.

Your light in me 

Jesus, Your light in me

Shines out of me so all can see

Your kingdom has come

And Your will of love is done

Because of Your Presence

Your light in me

.

Sometimes I want to strike back

When harsh words are said to me

To defend my own honour

Seems fair and not ungodly

But Your love rises up

And flows out of me

And I see them with Your eyes

And Your forgiveness is complete

.

Your light in me 

Jesus, Your light in me

Shines out of me so all can see

Your kingdom has come

And Your will of love is done

Because of Your Presence

Your light in me

.

Sometimes I want justice

To see villains suffer too

For the damage they have done

It seems only right and good

But Your love rises up

And flows out of me

And I see them with Your eyes

Your death made justice complete

.

Your light in me 

Jesus, Your light in me

Shines out of me so all can see

Your kingdom has come

And Your will of love is done

Because of Your Presence

Your light in me

.

Sometimes life is hard

With illness and loss

And it often seems unfair

So often undeserved the cost

But Your love rises up

And flows out of me

And I see life with Your eyes

And know Your healing ministry

.

Your light in me 

Jesus, Your light in me

Shines out of me so all can see

Your kingdom has come

And Your will of love is done

Because of Your Presence

Your light in me

73. Jesus Living in Me

24/10/2018 Amanda Wilson

.

I could dance and sing

Out of tune and out of time

Any song or hymn

And the victory would be mine

Because it’s not what I do

That takes me across the line

But it’s Jesus living in me

That gives me victory every time

.

Jesus, Jesus I’m so glad You live in me

Make Your Presence my daily reality

.

I could pray all day

And all through the night

Giving demons a pounding

Pushing back the dark with light

But it’s not what I say

That gives the victory parade

But it’s Jesus living in me

Who wins on every side

.

Jesus, Jesus I’m so glad You live in me

Make Your Presence my daily reality

.

I could preach all day

To the sinners “repent!” say

I could bathe people’s wounds

And feed them every day

But it’s not what I do

That causes them to be saved

It is Jesus living in me

That opens up the way

.

Jesus, Jesus I’m so glad You live in me

Make Your Presence my daily reality

.

I could command sickness flee

And that demons depart

I could bring the dead to life

And cause food to multiply

But it’s not what I control

That causes heaven to be seen

It is Jesus living in me

Who causes me to be like Him

.

Jesus, Jesus I’m so glad You live in me

Make Your Presence my daily reality

Jesus Your joy at Calvary

For it was what You paid for at Calvary

Was knowing we could be one for eternity 

I praise You now with all my being

My Lord and Saviour, my eternal King

Bringing heaven to earth in and through me

For it was what You paid for at Calvary

Jesus Your joy at Calvary

Was knowing we could be one for eternity 

I praise You now with all my being

My Lord and Saviour, my eternal King

70. Your Beloved Son

.

You could not give a more valuable gift

Than when You gave Your Son for me

To die for my sin, die my death

On the cross at Calvary

It is as if You tore out Your own heart

And nailed it to a tree

Your love for me is beyond comprehension

For in Jesus You showed how much You value me

.

Jesus, beloved Jesus

God Your love for Him envelopes me too

Jesus, beloved Jesus

I am one with Your beloved Son

.

In His life on earth Jesus showed Your love

Bringing healing and forgiveness

Deliverance and salvation

Giving life to all who asked

That same love is now flowing into me

Washing me clean again

Making me whole again

Filling me with His eternal life

.

Jesus, beloved Jesus

God Your love for Him envelopes me too

Jesus, beloved Jesus

I am one with Your beloved Son

.

As He rose from the grave

Jesus took me with Him too

To His heavenly throne

To sit right next to You

And the joy of having my presence there

Was what kept Him through Calvary’s snare

Us becoming one in God’s love

That was His prize, His victory treasure

.

Jesus, beloved Jesus

God Your love for Him envelopes me too

Jesus, beloved Jesus

I am one with Your beloved Son

69. Dancing on my grave

IMG_3159

.

When Israel were captives

In Egypt bound as slaves

An angel of death

Took the first born sons away

But by the blood of a lamb

Israels sons were saved

Israel’s freedom was gained

And Egypt plundered on the way

.

So I’m dancing on my grave

For the old me is dead

Now I live in Christ enthroned

And I am a Son of God

Adversity has no hold on me

For I have risen with Christ eternally

He is my resurrection 

And my complete salvation

.

When the armies of Pharaoh 

Were bearing down on Israel

Moses held a staff high

And the water gave way

A path to safety was given

And the enemy all taken

God’s victory was seen

In Israel’s salvation

.

So I’m dancing on my grave

For the old me is dead

Now I live in Christ enthroned

And I am a Son of God

Adversity has no hold on me

For I have risen with Christ eternally

He is my resurrection 

And my complete salvation

.

As Israel wandered through the desert

Food and water God gave them

Their clothes did not wear out

Nor their feet become swollen

And when serpents attacked

God gave them the solution

They lived on God’s provision

As God’s children and nation

.

So I’m dancing on my grave

For the old me is dead

Now I live in Christ enthroned

And I am a Son of God

Adversity has no hold on me

For I have risen with Christ eternally

He is my resurrection 

And my complete salvation

.

When Israel then entered

God’s land promised to them 

It was as fruitful and green

A place to live as kings

But enemies remained there

Who they battled for their claim

And when Israel battled God’s way

Their kingdom they gained.

.

So I’m dancing on my grave

For the old me is dead

Now I live in Christ enthroned

And I am a Son of God

Adversity has no hold on me

For I have risen with Christ eternally

He is my resurrection 

And my complete salvation

.

Like Israel the nation

I was once a slave, a captive

But Jesus blood set me free

From sin and sinful me

And through deserts and battles

He gives victory and provisions

God’s promised land is mine

Because His victory lives in me

.

So I’m dancing on my grave

For the old me is dead

Now I live in Christ enthroned

And I am a Son of God

Adversity has no hold on me

For I have risen with Christ eternally

He is my resurrection 

And my complete salvation

In Your Presence Jesus

There is light for me to see

To find my way forward

To reveal You to me

To know Your Word

Like it was written just for me

.

In Your Presence Jesus

There is holiness and purity

Cleansing from sin

From sin nature set free

To live in You

Now and for eternity

.

In Your Presence Lord

There is all that I need

My being made complete

By Your Presence in me

.

In Your Presence Jesus

There is love without bounds

Release from hurts

And fear’s demands

To be filled to overflowing

With Your love without conditions 

.

In Your Presence Jesus

There is peace unending

Release from performance

To earn a ‘good with God’ standing

To be a son of God

Because Your works are now my value

.

In Your Presence Lord

There is all that I need

My being made complete

By Your Presence in me

.

In Your Presence Jesus

There is joy forever singing

Release from depression

And the damage of sin

To be filled to overflowing

With Your joy and celebration

.

In Your Presence Jesus

Is authority and power

To bring heaven to earth

To heal and deliver

And You seat me with You

So I can be Your co-ruler

.

In Your Presence Lord

There is all that I need

My being made complete

By Your Presence in me

67. Enthroned in You

.

Once I was just human

Bound simply to this earth

Born of my human parents

And destined to return to dirt

But You lifted me up

As You rose from the grave

Gave me Your eternal life

Most powerful to save

.

Enthroned in You Jesus

King of Kings, Lord of Lords

Sheltered in Your Wings

I am Eternally Yours

.

Once I was broken

A heart hardened by sin

I could not love

Could not trust again

But You lifted me up

As You rose from the grave

Gave me a new heart

To love Your way

.

Enthroned in You Jesus

King of Kings, Lord of Lords

Sheltered in Your Wings

I am Eternally Yours

.

Once my spirit was broken

Tattered and torn

Unable to know God

For the darkness I bore

But You lifted me up

As You rose from the grave

Gave me a new spirit

Joined to Yours now, today

.

Enthroned in You Jesus

King of Kings, Lord of Lords

Sheltered in Your Wings

I am Eternally Yours

.

Once I was so powerless

Tired and afraid

Striving to protect myself

Control my world each day

But You lifted me up

As You rose from the grave

Made me one with You

So I could live Your way

.

Enthroned in You Jesus

King of Kings, Lord of Lords

Sheltered in Your Wings

I am Eternally Yours

.

I’m no longer bound to earth

Broken hearted, spirit battered

No longer powerless

Or in sin captured

For Jesus lifted me up

As He rose from the grave

Gave me all that He is

So in Him I have been saved

.

Enthroned in You Jesus

King of Kings, Lord of Lords

Sheltered in Your Wings

I am Eternally Yours
