Author: Dan

Lord, I struggle in this world
When I hear Your name maligned.
They don’t see Your love for them –
The way we were designed.

The sin that deceives them
Is a curtain that covers the Truth.
When will they see the Light?
When will they see You?

When You come again,
Everyone will surely know.
You are the King of Kings,
And the Lord of Lords.

Every knee will bow –
Every tongue confess.
You come in all truth
And in righteousness.

Forgive me for not taking You
To everyone I know.
Whether it’s fear or offense,
Or I just see them as a foe.

They are not the enemy.
You love us all the same.
What will it take for them
To see You in this way?

When You come again,
Everyone will surely know.
You are the King of Kings,
And the Lord of Lords.

Every knee will bow –
Every tongue confess.
You come in all truth
And in righteousness.

Lord, You are merciful –
Full of truth and of grace.
Tear off the blindfolds,
And let them see Your face.

They’ll see Your forgiveness
Found at the cross.
Oh may they see Your glory
Before they’re forever lost.

When You come again,
Everyone will surely know.
You are the King of Kings
And the Lord of Lords.

Every knee will bow –
Every tongue confess.
You come in all truth
And in righteousness.

Don’t believe the lie
That God is mad at you.
If that were true
Why did Jesus go to the Cross?

God sees the pain
And the sorrow of your sin.
He knows what you need
Is to be forgiven.

So God sent His Son down
To pay the price
To forgive all your sin
To be your sacrifice.

Because God loves you
This is the greatest truth.

God’s Word is full of promises
Of the truth of Who He is.
You are not alone.
You do have hope.

If you take a step
And choose to believe
God sees your heart
And knows what you need.

That God sent His Son Down
To pay the price.
To shed His blood
And give you new life.

Because God loves you.
This is the greatest truth.

That peace He brings
Is an amazing sound.
The fears of the lost
Are gone when you are found

By a God of grace
Who wants you to know
That He’ll never forsake you.
He will never let you go.

Because God sent His Son down
To pay the price.
To be your hope.
To be your Light.

Because God loves you.
This is the greatest truth.

Traveling on this life’s winding path,
Wanting to move forward but stuck in the past;
The things I’ve done still haunt my soul.
They steal from the hope of being made whole.

But then I hear a voice speaking within
“All those things can be forgiven.
The moment you choose to believe in Me.
Their chains are gone; you’ll be set free.”

How is that possible? How could it be?
Why would You die for someone like me?
You know I still stumble, and You know I still fall
The ghosts of their consequences relentlessly call.

“Condemning and judging is not why I came.
You can’t know My Father with your guilt and your shame.
He longs to hold you in His perfect love.
But you had to be washed by My holy blood.”

It’s all so hard to understand.
I look in the mirror, and I see the same man.
But by my confession of You as Savior and Lord
You tell me I am suddenly transformed?

“Yes, My child, you speak the truth.
You’ve been born again. You’ve been made new.
You have new life that is full of real hope.
The future is sure, and I’ll never let go.”

How is that possible? How could it be?
All of this happens just because I believe?
Isn’t there more or something I should do?
This kind of promise seems too good to be true.

“There’s nothing more of you that is required
My work on the cross put out the fire
Of the wrath of My Father – the price was paid
I cannot lie, and I keep every promise I make.”

That is amazing! I don’t know what to say.
Where do I go? Will You show me the way?
Help me to believe and know what is true.
Quiet the voices, so I only hear You.

“Take My hand, and follow Me.
I’ll provide your every need.
There’s nothing to fear – don’t be afraid.
In My grace you are perfectly safe.”

I see my faith before my eyes.
I see my King – He is alive!
On my knees before His throne
He says to me, “Welcome home!”

He picks me up. He holds me tight.
He wipes the tears from my eyes.
He smiles and says, “My loved one,
My faithful servant, well done!”

The angels sing, “Allelu”.
The saints all shout, “We love You!”
Then with one voice, we all rejoice.
“O praise the Lord! O praise the Lord!”

No more lies – only truth.
There is rest and life anew.
All the lost are now all found.
We are all here – safe and sound.

The angels sing, “Allelu”
The saints all shout, “We love You!”
Then with one voice, we all rejoice.
“O praise the Lord! O praise the Lord!”

The sky is filled
With songs of angels
On this winter’s eve.
They’ve come to Earth
To announce the birth
Of the Prince of Peace.

This shivering child
Who’s meek and mild –
God is now with us.
He’s come to win
Our souls from sin.
His name is Jesus.

Arise and sing
To the hope He brings
On this Christmas day.
This baby boy
Is our source of joy.
Come and bring Him praise!

For me and you
He comes in truth
Of Who God really is.
He is what is right
He is the Light
And forever lives

To intercede
For our every need
And give us new life
God has come
To overcome
On this Christmas night.

Arise and sing
To the hope He brings
On this Christmas day.
This baby boy
Is our source of joy.
Come and bring Him praise.

He’s come to be
For you and me
God’s promise fulfilled.
With His victory
At Calvary
Death’s sting is stilled.

So come and embrace
This gift of grace
And mercy from above.
We are free at last
From our sinful past
With the peace of God’s love.

Oh arise and sing
To the hope He brings
On this Christmas day
This baby boy
Is our source of joy.
Come and bring Him praise.
