Almighty God I worship You
Almighty God I worship You
Almighty God I worship You
Almighty God I worship You
You are Creator of all the earth
You are the Father of my new birth
Alpha, Omega
Beginning and the end
You show the way to me
You are my friend
Almighty God I worship You
Almighty God I worship You
Endless in mercy are You my God
Your presence fills me with reverential awe
You are the highest
Nothing shall ascend
I am in love with You
Fill me again
Words and mucic by Jean Chamblee
So sorry for the days
When I would run away
I need you, I need you
Forget about my past
And make me free at last
I need You, I need You
And I need to jump into the wind
And I ned to trust the arms I'm in
Never so confused
I feel I'm being used
Lord keep me , Lord keep me
I know I cannot see
The plans You have for me
Lord lead me, Lord lead me
And I need to jump into the wind
And I need to trust the arms I'm in
There was a time when I thought that life was secure
And there was a time when I thought that I was clean and pure
I need a Savior now I know
No matter how far and wide I grow
I need to stay at Jesus feet
I need to confess to all I need
Time to take a risk
My purpose not to miss
Please guide me, Lord guide me
The time is drawing near
For You to reappear
Make me ready, Lord ready
And I need to jump into the wind
And I need to trust the arms I'm in
And I need a Savior now I know
No matter how far and wide I grow
And I'll trust You Lord
Ooooo, I'll trust You
Words and music byJean Chamblee 2005
I wasn't expecting Your kindness
Not expecting Your love
I wasn't expecting Your mercy
Even though that's what You're made of
I wasn't expecting goodness
But You gave it anyway, You gave it anyway
Oooooo...
I wasn't expecting forgiveness
Not expecting Your blood
I wasn't expecting a pardon
But You paid it anyway
I wasn't expecting freedom
But You've opened up the door
You've opened up the door
You've opened up the door
Oooooo...
I wasn't expecting Your kindness
Not expecting Your love
I wasn't expecting Your mercy
Even though that's what You're made of
I wasn't expecting freedom
But You gave it anyway
Now I'm expecting You
Words and Music by Jean Chamblee
This is your life
This is your story
Which way is it gonna be
Wandering aimlessly or will you journey
Down the path that you're meant to be
There's a randomness a faintly heeded call
But a presence that's divine it fills them all
This is your life
This is your story which way is it gonna be
Oh my friend I know how it feels
To be lost in time and just spinning your wheels
Well now it's time to take hold of Jesus hand
I know He's gonna lead you to the promised land
Words and music by Jean Chamblee
Lord I want to care for your children
The little babes of the Spirit
Born to a world of desolation
I want to give my life for You to use
To make me Lord anything you choose
But of all the precious things that I could think of
To care for your little ones would be best
To let me mother Your child would bring me happiness
I know it wouldn't be me
But it'd be the life that I had to yield to You
Yeilding to You is not a pain but a pleasure
For the love You give is such that I cannot measure
I know that it's You we all depend on
My praises I will give you in a song
But the biggest praise that I could think to give to you
Is to lay my life down in Your name
All for You My Jesus, all for You and Your children
All for You my Lord I lay my life down
All for You My Jesus, all for You and Your children
All for You my Lord I lay my life down
Words and music by Jean Chamblee
There was a time
Not so long ago
You asked me to follow, but I could not go
It seems as though my life was bound
The freedom of Your Word I had not found
Then You came to me and You set me free
As I sought Your face,
I found out about Your grace
Then I found out , I was born again
I found out , I was free from sin
I found out , I was born again
I found out, I was free from sin
Little by little, I begin to learn
As I saw who you were, my life took a turn
To think of all the years that I'd been wrong
Your Word says I'm not weak
But in You I am strong
How can I thank You for the freedom of my soul
You've taken my life dear Lord
And You have made me whole
I found out I was born again
I found out His power was within
I found out I was born again
I found out ….You made me…You made me….You made me to win, Jesus
You made me…You made me …..You made me born again
Words and music by Jean Chamblee
I don't ever really want to be alone
And I don't want to wander far from your throne
I don't ever really want to be alone
Oh Jesus draw near to me
Oh Lord bring me home
For You are my strength
Oh Lord and You, You are my very life
Oh Lord and You, in You I have my being
Draw me Lord Jesus,
Don't want to be alone
Words and music by Jean Chamblee 2000
How can I live without You
Knowing who You are
How can I walk away Lord
You are my shining star
I really love you
I know who you are
I want to walk beside You
I know we'll go far
No matter where the road may lead
With You is where I want to be
Walking beside you every day
Knowing you will show the way
Words and music by Jean Chamblee
His Spirit is calling us
Holy Word to set us free
And lead us in to all truth
Holy Spirit to glorify
His Words He will magnify
To show us the path of our God
And we'll enter in to His holy countenance
And there our souls will find peace
For there's peace in truth
Love in fellowship
And joy lies in the praises of our God
The further we walk with Him the more we will know Him
And praises shall arise from our lips
For He bought our lives with a precious price
A great holy living sacrifice
So let's walk in truth
In His love giving praises to God above
Let's walk in truth in His love
Giving praises to God above
To God above
Words and Music by Jean Chamble
Well I run to who You are
Then I'll know who I am
In the arms of My Savior I am free
For You are my looking glass
I'm created in Your mold
Someone ancient, someone meant to be
From the womb I've been called
To Your purpose I've been hauled
Oh Lord, what plans have You for me
As I stop to wonder on
At the power of Your son
And to think that Your son He lives in me
As You taught me from a babe
I was born to be Your slave
Sent to serve the very man that You have made
I will not seek my own
I will seek to serve Your throne
And then everything else will follow me
As I run to who You are
Then I'll know who I am
In the arms of My Savior
I am free
Words and Music by Jean Chamblee
Somewhere in my mind
Oh Lord You will always find
A love that is true
A love that is just for You
And I know I love You Lord
Oooo want to live my life for You
Well now times have been tough
Circumstances really rough
But there's a light in my heart
A truth that will not depart
All the glory to Your Son
And the work that He has done
So many things are around
Trying to grab me and pull me down
Oh Lord catch me when I fall
When my backs up against the wall
Oh Lord come and rescue me
Oooo come and set me free
For You are the air that I breathe
The water I drink
The hunger of my soul
You are the air that I breathe the water I drink
The hunger of my soul
And I love You, love You, Love You, I love You
Jesus I love You, love you yes I do
