Praise You Forever

I wrote these lyrics for anyone who is hurting or in need of love. I feel that as a church we should come together and stand in the gap for those who are feeling put down. For those who feel as though no one really cares. We should lift these people up in prayer and encourage them with the word of God.

So if you are experiencing a hard time in your life, please take time to read over these lyrics.

Praise You Forever

Verse 1

Are you hurting?

In need of love?

Are you crying?

Are you broken up?

Is your life falling apart?

Are you stranded in the dark?

Jesus Christ will give you rest.

Chorus

I will sing in my weakness

I will dance in my sorrow

You will prove to me your power

And I will praise you forever

Verse 2

Are you lonely?

Are you depressed?

Are you struggling?

Are you stressed?

Is there no hope, at all?

Are you too far out to call?

Jesus Christ will give you rest.

Bridge

Jesus, move in me!

Move in my life!

Only you can make things right!

Verse 3

Are you better?

Can you feel it?

Jesus Christ is here!

He has done it!

Shout with laughter

Dance in splendor

Jesus has given you rest!

Here with me

Merry Christmas!

As my gift to you, I have written new lyrics!

I have really been tossing around in my heart this idea of God being with me and how I long to be with God. I have gotten to a place in my life where I am no longer satisfied with being in a room where God is, I desire to be there WITH God! It's like being in a room with the person you secretly love isn't as good as when you are there with them.

So, I have written this song inspired by that idea and by the words of Psalm 4.

I have written it to be sung for Children's worship and I love imagining a crowd full of kids passionately crying out to their Savior, declaring that He will always be with them!

Here With Me

You hear every word I say

You listen when I pray

You answer me in your ways

You’re here with me, with me

When I am lost and afraid

You soothe my fear away

When fighting in the fray

You’re here with me, with me

Chorus

You are great, oh God

You are love, oh God

I want more of you

More of who you are

You are strong, oh God

You are grace, oh God

You are here with me

And I am here with you

Bridge

At the end of the day

I will say

You are with me

For the rest of my days

I will say

You are here with me

Forever and always

I will say

You are here with me
