WITH ARMS OPENED WIDE, by Carl Gooch

WITH ARMS OPENED WIDE

With arms opened wide

You came to save me…

Love you did not hide

But freely gave to me.

–

Into this world you came

For a sinner such as I…

I was filled with sin’s stain

But for my sin you died.

–

You came into my night

Bringing love and mercy…

You made everything right

And gave new life to me!

–

With arms opened wide,

You came to save me…

Lord, you didn’t hide

But freely gave to me.

–

There is no way I can repay

What you did for me…

For all my sins’ price you paid,

Being nailed to that tree.

ALWAYS STAY….by Carl Gooch

Leave a reply

ALWAYS STAY

In all of my yesterdays,

You have been there…

So I place all of my life

Into loving Your care.

–

You who has rule over all,

I kneel before you…

Let Your word be my guide

In all I say and do.

–

You are the light of Truth

That has opened my eyes…

In my sin-darkened night

You heard my cries!

–

You created all things,

Yet had mercy on me…

And by Your precious blood

From sin, I am set free.

–

I know kings and kingdoms

Will pass away some day…

But the promises of God

And His word will always stay!

LET ME WALK…by Carl Gooch

LET ME WALK

 

Oh Lord, I want to walk;

Lord let me stand.

With you Lord, let me walk

Hand in hand.

–

It’s so cold and dreary;

Lord, come take my hand,

I’m so tired and weary,

Lead to that Promised Land.

–

Lord, I want to follow you,

Reach out your hand…

Teach me what I should do

To follow your command.

–

Come Lord shine your Light

Into this wicked land,

Lead me on your path of right…

Lord, by your hand!

–

Oh Lord I want to walk;

Lord, help me stand

With you Lord let me walk…

Hand in hand.

SEE US THROUGH, by Carl Gooch

See Us Through

–
Whatever struggles we may face,
Whatever trial may come our way,
We can know one thing is true;
Our Lord will see us through.

–
Yesterday, today or tomorrow,
Our Lord is the same day after day.
His love is forever true;
He is calling to me and you.

–
When those old troubles come,
And our body is wracked with pain,
Trust the love He has for you.
Our Lord will see us through.

–
If we are confused or unsure,
Our minds clouded and unclear,
Hold fast to His promises true;
His word will guide us through.

–
Do not be discouraged or afraid,
He is right beside us all the way.
Seek the Lord in all we do,
And He will be there with me and you.

GLORY TO THE LORD, by Carl Gooch

Glory to The Lord

–
Glory to the Lord most high,
Who for my sins did die.
Glory to the Lord most high,
Who did not pass me by.

–
I was lost, my life filled sin,
I saw no hope, I saw no way.
In despair I cried out to Him
And mercy He showed that day.

–
Now everything I say or do,
Is to show His wondrous love.
These words I share with you,
Come to me from the Lord above.

–
Glory to the Lord most high,
Who for my sins did die.
Glory to the Lord most high,
Who did not pass me by.

–
Let my life be lived in praise
To the one who paid the price.
Let my hands and voice be raised,
To the Lord for His sacrifice.

–
Glory to the Lord most high,
Who for my sins did die.
Glory to the Lord most high,
Who did not pass me by.

I WILL SPEAK, by Carl Gooch

Leave a reply

I will speak

–
Another morning comes, Lord.
And I lift my voice to you.
You hear my groans and pleas
And come to see me through.

–
You open my sleep filled eyes
To the beauty of the day.
Your word guides my feet
And blesses me along the way.

–
You provide for all my needs
That my body may be nourished.
You bless the work you gave me,
That your glory may flourish.

–
As the day grows long and hot,
You give me shade and rest.
You fill me with peace and love,
And strength to stand the test.

–
As the evening sun goes down
And my body is tired and week,
I read your loving promises,
And your praises I will speak.
