Let The Children Come to Me


I Hinder not the little ones, let them come to Me.
Let me hold them in My arms, show them what I see.
The love of the Father in Me.
The love that you will all see.
So let the children come to Me.

II The children are to be, our destiny.
They are tomorrow's hope, dreams of today.
Look out for the children,
Show them where My love has been.
Just let the children come to Me.

III And soon when I am gone, to you I'll say.
Be sure to feed My lambs, don't let them stray.
But if you truly love Me,
Then please love the children.
And let the children come to me.

But if you truly love Me.
Take care of the children,
And let the children come to Me.

But if you truly love Me,
Then please teach the children,
And let the children come to Me.

And let the children come to Me.
And let the children come to Me.
And let the children come to Me.

More Of You


Each time I wake up, I find You there
Lord, it is You who makes me smile
Some days it seems the whole world
Is falling down around me, but yet
You are there all the while.

And somehow, sweet Lord Jesus
I'm still missing You
My heart desires to be so much closer to You
To live the life You created for me to live with You
Sometimes I can see and hear You so perfectly.

But, this old body groans at times as does all creation
We live our lives in these earthly bodies
The flesh warring against the spirit
Continuous spiritual warfare
All I know right now is I'm missing You.

A little bit of You is never enough
Nor will it ever be, Lord
You stir up this spirit within me
To keep seeking Your face
And that I will do.

I cannot gain more of You
So I wait upon You to pour out
More of Your loving Holy Spirit
O how I long to be blessed with more
And more of You.

Lord, at times life makes no sense
But when I look deeper, I can see You
And I know I've been missing You
As my heart aches and longs for more
And more of You.

Everything Is Gonna Be Alright


As a small child
I was always very fearful
I would cry and make a fuss
Then the day came
I knew what it would take
To make me feel safe
In a fast paced changing world
That waits for no one.

I could hear His voice
But I did not know Him
And yet, I would hear
His voice saying to me,
"Everything is gonna be alright."

I never grew up with religion
No church background
I led a wild and crazy life
With no cares for anything
Then one day my world came
Crashing down all around me
I was alone in this world
And it rushed madly past me.

Sitting in a heap on the floor
I cried out and thinking no one
Is going to hear, and if they do
Why should they care?
A familiar voice spoken in silence
Yet spoken with authority
Again telling me,
"Everything is gonna be alright."

"I AM here for you every day,
And every single night,
Trust ME and walk with ME
And believe ME when I say
Everything is gonna be alright."

Closer To You


Lord, I come before You,
In my darkest hour of need.
You tell me that You love me,
So here I am on my knees.

I feel like You have abandoned me,
For I cannot hear Your voice.
But all You really want from me,
Is for me to make a choice.

You have sent stumbling blocks,
To keep me on the path.
Time and again I stray from You,
And reap the consequence of wrath.

So here I am before You Lord,
I need You now I plead.
Please, O Lord, don't abandon me,
In my time of need.

I now realize Lord,
That You have never left me.
You have been right there beside me,
In my time of need.

I never want to leave You,
I just want to be close to Thee.
Thank You Lord for showing me,
That I am closest to You when I am on my knees.

So Lord please heed my call,
For this is just my plea.
That if I ever stray from You,
Please strike me to my knees.

My name is Robert Emery. I am a 25 year old male from Indianapolis, Indiana. I have always loved God and want to use every talent that He has given me bring everyone I meet to have a relationship with the One True God.

Jesus Wall Around

So many times I can recall
I would only stand long enough
To once again fall
My heart would cry out
And then again I could see You.

As many times as Satan would attack
Using others, even sisters and brothers
Those poison darts kept hitting me
And again I came crying to You
And found You waiting there.

The more times Satan tried to destroy me
The more I came to You
Those times, the cruel times, I found my place
My greatest need I found
Dwelling in all that is You.

You took Romans 8:28 and made it my life
Cos Your Word is Truth
And never returns to You void
You let me experience at times the worst
So I could know Youthe Best.

I asked my Lord and Saviour
What keeps happening here?
He told me to look around
It was then I could see it
An invisible and impenetrable wall.

He said, "I AM your wall of protection
Abide in Me because if you step outside of My will
You lose the blessing,
Only by abiding in Me
My children are kept safe from all harm."

Your Presence Brings Conviction

I ponder over the thought, Lord
Do you ever tire of listening to me?
I grumble and mumble at times
Then I sense Your presence so near.

I'm convicted of my complaining,
As I ask for Your forgiveness,
You smile and tell me,
All is forgiven.

Thank You Jesus for all that You are,
And for Your presence with me,
Bringing conviction, forgiveness and peace,
And Your unconditional love.

Everything


In everything this world will bring,
there is no worth unless 'from Him'.
No value anywhere to find,
if He is not first on your mind.

In everything this world will bring,
there is no love like that 'of Him',
Relationships will fall apart,
if He reigns not within your heart.

In everything this world will bring,
nought endures but Faith 'in Him'.
Joy will come and go, in waves,
there is no peace for the unsaved.

In everything this world will bring,
there is no hope unless 'through Him'.
Beauty fades, the rich will cry,
flesh will fail, and flesh will die.

The world can offer nothing,
but sin, and pain, and strife.
JESUS IS SALVATION.
JESUS OFFERS LIFE.

I love The Lord,with all my heart, and am nothing,and have nothing, without Him.

Grace


Do you know how much He loves you?
There is nothing you can do.
No conditions and no favorites.
He Loves every one of you.

Knowing all our imperfections.
Sacrificed for all our sin.
So that all may find Salvation.
Through the Holy Blood of Him.

No one said it would be easy.
He died at Calvary.
Scourged and beaten, Crucified.
Out of Love for you and me.

So Please,
don't take His Perfect Gift of Grace,
to tear it all apart.
There is nothing more He asks of you,
than to offer up your heart.

I love The Lord,with all my heart, and am nothing,and have nothing, without Him.
