God: a series about our Lord meant to encourage.
God,
You need nothing
I can give...
nothing
at all.
If I were to praise You
every moment
in every minute
in every hour
of every day
For the rest of my life,
It could never be enough!
And yet,You care,
Though I fall short of the mark.
You chose to suffer
and to pay
for me.
Marvelous Grace!!
Live I Only?
Live I only to serve You?
Live I only to serve You?
Live I only to praise?
Live I only to adore You,
And so sing for the rest of my days?
Yes, for this end did You make me;
Yes, for this only was I made:
And those who are to be with You for eternity
Have all their joys and their hopes on You stayed.
You Were Made To Serve The Lord!
To the seeking child
She said to me
She said to me
"I wanna be
like you,
you always seem to know
just what to do.
"I wanna way
of expression,
I wanna make
an impression,
I wanna way
for me to say
well, this is me-
what I'm s'posed to be!
"Only I can't see--
I feel restless,
nestless,
like I'm the only one
who's on my own...
all alone.
Cause I don't know
who I am."
And the more I think of what she said to me,
of how she didn't know who she was made to be....
although I don't quite know how,
I feel I need to tell her now:
cause I have this burden of grief
that she can't find relief.
of how she didn't know who she was made to be....
although I don't quite know how,
I feel I need to tell her now:

that she can't find relief.
You were made
to serve the Lord!
And all You gotta do
to start to know Him
is pick up His Word.
And I know you've heard this before,
cause He's thrown open the door
so many times!
And I know that this thought
can seem really far
from who and what we think we are,
but what you gotta do
is think little thoughts about you
and bigger thoughts about God.
That's what you were made for,
that is who you are!
You are here to serve a God
who is nearby and never far!
And though He doesn't need us,
(you just keep that in your mind!)
He still loves us deeply,
for He's wonderfully kind!
That's what you were made for,
it is who you are!
You were made to praise Him,
and to serve Him.
And though we will never deserve Him,
that's just one more reason why
we'll lift His praise on high
and fill the sky
as much as it can hold:
for His justice,
and His compassion,
for a grace that fills the world.
We praise Him for His righteous passion--
that He gave us this great gift of love.
And we praise Him
for His mercy untold.
That is who you are.

Better perspective
The mighty birds,
the kings of the air--
the hawks, the eagles, and the falcons---
they soar up high,
pierce through blue sky;
then they streak down low
with their own winds blow.
Could creatures such as this
have come from nothing?
No!
I watch them:they fascinate me;
their majesty amazes me.
Awe and inspiration;
for the beauty, admiration.
They reflect their Creator.
He made them for His own pleasure,
and he shares it with us.
Man is the only (mortal) creature who can appreciate God's handiwork and glorify Him because of it.
And is that not what is intended?
Is that not what we were made for?
