What do you want

The good I want to do 
That I do not do
The evil I don't want to do
That I often do 
Who can save me 
Who can save me
Oh God who can save me 

Thanks be to God
Who gives the victory
In His Son Jesus
Who does ever free
Oh wretched man
Oh wretched man 
Oh wretched man that I am 

Failing faith 
Do draw near
Failing faith 
Have no fear
When God does seem
So far away
Who's gone missing
You or Yahweh

God

God 
You're all I want 
Lead me on
For I do pant
Nothing else
Compares to you
I thirst alone
For what is true

You alone 
Are all I need
People leave 
You bleed 
For all
Come inside
In me
Do abide 

Who have I in heaven
But you my God
Who have I on earth
But my risen lord
When death does call
Who will walk with me 
When death pangs groan
Who will free 

In the valley 
Of the shadow of death 
Who will be there
When gone is my breath 
Father, Son 
And Holy Ghost
In Him alone 
Will I make my boast

Trust in Christ

How do I love you more
So sin I will not choose
How do I desire your heart
So I may never lose
How do I think of you
In the moment of temptation
How do I become your holy 
Spotless unblemished creation 

Trust in your mercy
Trust in your grace
Daily seek
Your Holy face
Trust in God
And not in me
Trust in Christ
To set me free 

He came

He came to trample down
Death by death
He came to give life
With His last breath 
He came to bring hope
In your darkest night
He came to abolish death
With His eternal light 

He came so quietly 
Behind enemy lines
He came in weakness
With many signs 
He came in meekness
Death to kill
He came to do
The Fathers will 

He came to destroy
The hellish grave
He came to free
Every slave
He came in love
Calling all
He came to redeem
Men from the fall 

He came for you
Will you come to Him
He came for you 
Don't be so dim
Run to
His bloody cross
For to gain everything else
Will be your eternal loss

The shadow of death

We live under
The shadow of death 
That always comes to steal
Many a man's breath
Why Unexpected 
Does it stun
When multitudes die daily 
Under our Sun 

Any moment
We could have an appointment
And may be soon needing
Holy annointment
Yet we are always filled
With shock and awe
When death arrives
At our door

Death puts us to sleep
Lest we live for ever
With a fallen nature
But God said never
Could he leave us
In such a state
So a flaming sword 
Did guard The Gate 

Till the appointed 
Time should come
In the fullness of times
God sent His Son
To be the resurrection 
And the life
God married heaven and earth
Come be His eternal wife 

So fear not 
For death is mercy
Unnatural 
Yet loves key
Opens the door
Who is God
Jesus Christ
Our only Lord

Choose

It all depends 
On how you choose
To look on things
Will it be win or lose 
Two men in 
A prison cell
One feels heaven 
The other hell

One sees only
Iron bars
The other sees beauty 
In the stars
What way will you
Fix your gaze
To sink it down low 
Or in Hope it raise 

So seek wisdom 
With your mind 
In your thoughts 
Don't be blind
To how 
You choose to see
One way can bind
The other free

Keep me pure

Keep me pure
Each sacrament divine
Wash me in blood
That once was wine
Consume my sin
Deep inside of me
When troubles come
Let others still you see 

Purify me
From disordered passions
Let me eat the whole truth 
And not only rations
Oh body divine 
Deep iniside of me
Let your presence 
Daily set me free 

Holiness is
Joy that's everlasting 
Oh pursue God
With a life of fasting
Imagine living forever
And hating Holy ways
Oh how that must torment you 
All your eternal days
