HEAVEN’S IN MY FUTURE
No matter what you did to me
God has the final word
No matter what you’ve said to me
God’s voice was all I heard
You can persecute my faith
Strip me of all my rights
But God will always be
The ruler of my sight
No matter what this world hands me
I’m in my Father’s hands
‘Cause Heaven’s in my future
For Him I’ll make my stand
If God is not your main concern
You better change your mind
‘Cause if the dark one leads you
his end won’t be as kind

HE FORGIVES
When the Father has us in His arms
And we struggle to get free
It hurts that we accepted Him
But now we want to leave
He’ll never turn His back on us
And we should act the same
Remember who He sacrificed
Then bless His Holy name
When temptation jumps on you
Fall to your knees and pray
But if it overwhelms you
He forgives us right away

GOD ALMIGHTY
Your mercy reaches far beyond me
Your love overflows all boundaries
I can never explain the strength that’s in Your name
Your wisdom overwhelms me
Your perfection surrounds me
It’s because of You I’ll never be the same
Your power will enrich me
Your truth will never leave me
Without You my life would be a mess
Your words will always feed me
Your loving grace has saved me
Because of You my life is truly blessed

LIFT OUR CHILDREN
I come to You today
With a prayer in my heart
These times are so troubled
I don’t know where to start
We need to lift our children
Up into Your arms
You’re the only one I know
That shelters them from harm
I pray You give them knowledge
To distinguish right from wrong
Humble them when needed
So they’ll always stay strong
I pray these things dear Father
To glorify Your name
So they can show the evil one
Of You they’re not ashamed
Help our children Father
No matter what their age
Fill their hearts with kindness
Take away their rage
Let them be forgiving
For what we have done wrong
May they never forget
It’s with You that they belong

SAVIOR’S FACE
When your children look at you
And smile from ear to ear
Remember you’re their hero
Protect them from their fears
When we have our children
And hold them in our arms
We pray to our Lord Jesus
To shelter them from harm
Too soon they will leave you
So pray they take God’s hand
It’s important that they know
The Father’s in command
Enjoy them and be merciful
And teach them all God’s ways
So when their babies look at them
They’ll see their Saviors face

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU
When You speak, am I sincere?
I've always felt Your words were clear
I don't believe my pen is forced
it glides along and stays on course
I pray it's You, that guides my hand
to lead the lost to where You stand
It doesn't matter what I do
as long as I always glorify You!
