(I want to be) Your Instrument

Do you see her? Over there, with angelic shine?
Radiance aglow, I almost don't believe she's mine
She is so beautiful, no one on earth can compare
Certainly she's a heavenly gift, an answer to prayer
A perfect match for me, chosen by God above
I will give my best; pledging to her a life of love...
I will be a tool of love flowing from Your fountain
Sharing a faith that can move any mountain
In my marriage I want to be a living testament
Lord Jesus, I want to be Your instrument

A goal is laid before me, an eternal impression
To lead my family in heavenly progression
Blessing and teaching them God's ways
Guiding and nurturing through every life phase
To be a rock, planted in Christ firm and strong
Building a place of safety, a place we belong...
I will be a tool of love flowing from Your fountain
Sharing a faith that can move any mountain
In my home I want to be a living testament
Lord Jesus, I want to be Your instrument

I have a place, giftings have been planted within
To sharing them, encouraging all in this race we win
Bringing a word of hope, or whatever is required
It is the Holy Spirit within me by which I am inspired
To His glory and Him alone all credit is due
I'm just a vessel conveying these words to you...
I will be a tool of love flowing from Your fountain
Sharing a faith that can move any mountain
In Your church I want to be a living testament
Lord Jesus, I want to be Your instrument

I know the path and I will stick to it all my days
Running the race with His strength, by His ways
Standing up for what I believe, speaking it out
To be clear that Jesus is what eternity is about
I will be a beacon of light to all who will see
Pointing people to the Savior and not me
I will be a tool of love flowing from Your fountain
Sharing a faith that can move any mountain
In the world I want to be a living testament
Lord Jesus, I want to be Your instrument

I desire to be worthy of the call upon my life
To be a husband and a real man to my wife
To be a light in dark places, unafraid to speak
Even if misunderstanding people label me a freak
I will not be shaken, I will stay the course
Keeping my eyes fixed; centered on the source
Help me Lord Jesus, to focus on Your ways
To follow Your teachings all of my days
In my life I want to be a living testament
Lord Jesus, I want to be Your instrument

Never Give Up

Life has it's ups, downs and other things as well
Plenty of times we feel we are going through hell
We must remember times like these will not last
This season will fade and soon become the past
Never give up, this is guaranteed
Never give up, you will surely succeed

Hope remains
In Christ I am sustained
And my eternal goal is the same
Born to win
The Spirit of God within
Jesus Christ, He cleansed my sin
Remember, you were born to win!

Trials, hardships and difficulties come by the bunch
We are overwhelmed, taking the brunt of the punch
Still hope remains, we can rise again and again
Strength restored through prayer before we say amen
Never give up, this is guaranteed
Never give up, you will surely succeed

Hope remains
In Christ I am sustained
And my eternal goal is the same
Born to win
The Spirit of God within
Jesus Christ, He cleansed my sin
Remember, you were born to win!

It's unavoidable, rejection will come, reject it
If your path is going the wrong direction, redirect it
You're not a failure because you fail, everyone fails
Keep on the course, letting the wind fill your sails
Never give up, this is guaranteed
Never give up, you will surely succeed

We find ourselves defeated
All our energy depleted
Even if it's a brick wall we hit
It's only over when we quit

Hope remains
In Christ I am sustained
And my eternal goal is the same
Born to win
The Spirit of God within
Jesus Christ, He cleansed my sin
Remember, you were born to win!
