He Lifts Me Up ~

Once I was broken,
beaten and down
then came my Savior
to bring me around.

Who would believe it,
who would have known
that Jesus thought of me
as one of His own!

He lifts me up,
high off the ground
making my steps
solid and sound.

Heavenly blessings,
He wants to give
sinful indiscretions
He came to forgive.

Angels of mercy,
He sends my way
helping me to walk
on these feet of clay.

He lifts me up,
high off the ground
making my steps
solid and sound.

Lifting me up,
keeping me secure
raising me above
each tempting lure.

Watching and waiting,
for each step I take
sending forgiveness
for each slip, I make.

He lifts me up,
high off the ground
keeping my steps
from hell’s fiery bound!

Psalm 40:2
King James Version

“He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock,
and established my steps.”

Blessed are Those Who Mourn

Blessed are those who mourn,
those who see their lost condition
those whose heart for God are broken
who feel the sting of their affliction.

Blessed are those who are suffering,
those who see the effects of their sin
those who know of the pain of rebellion
who can feel the ache deep within.

Blessed are those who are distressed,
those who are awake to their sad state
those who are miserable and troubled
who can see the flames at hell’s gate.

Blessed are those who feel remorseful,
those who understands God’s great grief
those who have been a part of this world
who know that Jesus came to give relief.

Blessed are those who are sober-minded,
those who feel the weight of their offense
those who have been washed and forgiven
who now come to their Savior’s defense.

Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall have eternal peace
they too will be comforted while on earth
for they know God’s love  will never cease!

Matthew 5:4
King James Version

shall be comforted.”
