Oh What Glorious Feelings!

Oh What Glorious Feelings!


Oh what joy the Spirit can bring!
The indescribable feeling!
I love to breathe it into my soul!
What happiness! What hope! What healing!

Oh what love the Spirit can bring!
The intense heart's thrill!
I'm grateful for my soul to sense -
What love! What delight! What appeal!

Oh what peace the Spirit can bring!
The incredible comfort I feel!
I need the serenity he can provide!
What repose! What pleasure! What thrill!

What happiness! What hope! What peace!
The Spirit brings to my very core!
I love every moment of his presence!
These glorious feelings I can't ignore!

He Is There

He Is There


When I kneel to pray
I know He is there
He's perfectly aware of me
And listens with great care

I know when I speak to Him
From the depths of my soul
There's not a plea unheard
And I know He is in control

I feel His sacred presence
When I kneel in humble prayer
The Spirit has brought sweet peace
And I know Heavenly Father is there

There is no prayer He has not heard
Whether it's been silent or said aloud
He listens intently to our plea's
And gives answers even to the proud

There is no doubt in my heart
Or anywhere in my mind
That He listens and He cares
True peace is what I find

Through God's Eyes

Through God's Eyes


When I look in the mirror
I sometimes don't like the view
But then I have to remember
Whose eyes I'm looking through

I see through my mortal eyes
And don't always like what I see
Satan likes to warp my view
Which changes my perspective of me

If my mortal eyes changed position
And began to see me through God's
I might find something more beautiful
With more loveliness than flaws

When I look in the mirror
I sometimes don't like the view
But then I have to remember
Whose eyes I'm looking through

Tears for Him

Tears for Him
(Inspired by Hymn #192 vs. 2)

I cry many tears
Selfish ones indeed
Thinking only of myself
And all that I need

I cry tears of sadness
Of sorrows and pain
Thinking only of myself
And promised blessings to gain

How often have I stopped
To shed a tear or two
For our dear Savior
Who died for me and you

He lovingly has wept
Tears of sadness with me
But I seem to cry-
Shedding tears selfishly

I need to stop a moment
And think of my Savior, lovingly
With many tears to shed for Him
I'll weep ever so reverently

Come one, come all
And shed a tear or two
For the Man, our Savior
Who died for me and you
