I've got a story that I must tell, but I don't tell stories very well - So I wrote you a song to tell you how I feel - it's from my heart, it's all so real.

I once lived a life in search of a throne. I looked for a purpose and peace of my own. I was just busy just being my me - my worldly goals would set me free.

I was just a creature of chance just a bumpin' along. My God was so right and I was so wrong. My guilt was so big, my fear was so strong.

Oh Thank You Lord for delivering me. Like a baby new born you set me free. You gave me new life. You gave me Yourself. You took me in spite of my sin-love self.

Lord I want to Thank You for bein' my Friend. You washed away my every sin. You made me white, as white as snow. When I was half, You made me whole.

Oh Thank You Lord for proving to me - You always love me unconditionally. You exchanged Your Throne to make this known - Your Glory made low for my selfish soul.

Thank You God, I now understand - the Price You paid for becoming a man. You willingly died on a cross of wood, yet made the hill on which it stood.

Oh Thank You again my Victorious Friend - You made my heart all over again. I'm more than saved and I'm more than safe - I'm now in the center of a powerful place.

Oh Thank You Lord for our intimacy - our fellowship now motivates me. In sin I'm out of character now - my nature is new - to Jesus I bow.

So Thank You Jesus I sing to Thee. I love You and You love me. Salvation Truth is mine today. You truely are the Only Way.

And thank you my friend for just a listenin' in. May your songs too share His Glory in you.

And so I sing my story end. Thank You Jesus for being my Friend.

Help Me - Stay Put and Stay Steady - in Your Power !

Oh Jesus, Help Me - Grow Holy .. in Thee

" O Jesus Christ, grow thou in me and all things else recede;
My heart be daily nearer thee - from sin be daily freed.

Each day let thy supporting might - my weakness still embrace;
My darkness vanish in thy light - thy life, my death efface.

In thy bright beams which on me fall - fade every evil thought;
That my will, be yours - thou art all, I would be daily taught.

More of thy Glory let me see - thou Holy, wise, and true;
I would in thy living image be - in joy and sorrow too.

Fill me with gladness from above, hold me by strength devine:
Lord, let the Glow of thy great Love - through my whole being shine.

Make this poor self grow less and less - be Thou my life and aim;
O make me daily, through thy grace - more meet to bear thy name ! "
