such calm i have in my heart

such calm I have in my heart
such peace abides in me
what comfort I gain knowing
He that is in me is greater than
he that is in the world

Gracious, merciful and faithful is my God
He did not forget me in times
times of happiness and sorrow
He did not let my soul perish
in times of weariness and when I was lost

For with His heart He called me
with His arms He pulled me in
back to His bosom, back home
from the yolk that bound me
pulled away the sheet over my eyes

He gave me a way and a guide
He gave me life that I might live
His light that I might see
His spirit that I might breathe
His angels that I might be guarded

He gives me His presence that I might be alive
His presence that I might be aware
His presence that I might not worry
His presence that I might live for Him only

He blesses me constantly and keeps me Holy
He removes stress and worry from my life
He removes worldly things I don’t need
He holds me fast that I may guard my heart
He leads me on my day in peace and serenity

Amidst the daily toil, I feel His presence
in the middle of the storm, I have no worry
for The Lord, The Almighty God, I Am is with me
God who sees all
God who knows all

Three in one God, who is like Thee
how awesome are Your marvelous works in my life
how miraculous are the little things You don’t let slip

look how You balanced my footsteps when I was about to fall
I noticed, thank You
look how You gave me strength when I felt faint
I noticed thank You
look how You help me stay calm and not worry
even when I know it’s about to be hectic

I do not worry a bit because I know You will take care of me
The other day I had goose bumps when I thought of how awesome You are
I was dumbfounded at Your glory and sheer majesty
You are so magnificent and perfect

what can I offer You but my constant striving
to be perfect as my Father in heaven is perfect
how can I show You that I love you so
how do I make You proud of me more
what is that thing You want of me that I will not do

to please you my God, anything
my life I surrender to You
my all I dedicate to You
Never do I want to depart from You
I might as well be dead than to not know You
I might as well be a carcass roaming aimlessly

suffer me not to ever depart from Your grace
suffer me not to live for myself, but only for You
allow me Lord to have this identity as Yours
to live only as a manifestation of Your presence
to live only to give glory and honor to You

and when I’ve done what it is
 you put me on this earth to do Lord
suffer me not to remain here
 in this wicked world of man

o man, how you have turned away from your God
How you have abandoned your God with your part time religion
Come back to the heart of the matter
turn back to God, to Jesus who died that you may have life
The Lord waits with open arms
His spirit ever waiting to receive you

ask with a sincere heart and you shall receive
seek with a sincere heart and you shall find
knock with a sincere heart and the door shall be open unto you

God in the Old testament was so fierce and quick to punish
quick to pass judgement and eliminate evil in his sight
look how He opened the ground in Kadesh and destroyed the unbelievers
look how He caused the flood and drowned the people
look how He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
look how The Lord punished Adam and Eve
look how The Lord cursed the snake

then look how The Lord sent His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
to die for us on a cross
no not quickly by a bullet
slowly on a cross after carrying it painfully

not one of the sins He paid for was His
He shed his blood on the cross and carried our sins away
for with His life he purchased our salvation
and now how do we repay Him

search your hearts
search your hearts
search your hearts
Return to the Father in the name of Jesus who died FOR YOU
