At times
I wonder if You're true
Or if its just a waste of time
When I pray prayers to you.
At times
I wonder where You are
If you're ever truly listening
When I cry out from the heart.
At times
I'm sad and weak with doubt
And wonder, if I call for you,
If I'll still be left without.
But when I'm at my weakest
When no human hand can heal
I cry your name, I call for you,
And at the cross I kneel.
You're my saviour and redeemer
and You call me close to You
And on the strength of Grace alone
I know I am made new.

Jesus Is Alive - Easter!!!
For all the earth had trembled
The sun had hid it's face and
All the men that walked with Him
Had turned and run away
They crucified the Savior
And laid Him in a tomb
The life that once
Brought love and hope
Slipped away that afternoon
Satan gleamed with pleasure
That day at Calvary
For he thought he had won
A mighty victory
And like him all of the demons
Of hell began to cheer
O but little did they know
Their end was growing near
'Cause early Sunday morning
Just like Jesus said
He broke the curse
Of sin and death
And He rose up from the dead
Now we have a new beginning
And a kingdom that has no ending
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah Jesus is alive
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
Jesus lives forever
He's alive He's alive
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The Lamb of God is risen
He's alive He's alive
He's the author and
The finisher of our faith
The stone they threw away
Is the cornerstone today
Death has no more vict'ry
And the grave has no more sting
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Wonderful, Counselor
A mighty God is He
The Everlasting Father
He's the precious Prince of Peace
He's the Word that lives forever
He's alive, He's alive
He's alive, He's alive!

Free to Serve
"Free to serve"... it's written on our shift board at work every day, and its only today that it struck me... I work in the retail industry, and every single day, I make myself free to serve. Free to serve customers.
But, am I doing what God asks, and truly being Free to Serve HIM, His people?
So often when it comes to service, we have some sort of excuse... we're too tired, too busy. Too many work commitments. Too many family commitments. We need to see our friends. We need to do homework... or just chill out.
But, where would we be right now, if God was "too busy" to serve us? Where would we be if Jesus had been "too tired" to minister to the weak, the poor, the hungry? If He had too many social commitments to give His life to forgive OUR sin? As God's children, should we not do the little thing he asks, and make ourselves free to serve? Shouldn't we serve willingly, not because we feel we HAVE to, but because its what we want to do, to please God, to thank Him?
At my church, we sing a beautiful song that says "You gave me these hands to serve You, to raise You up and lift Your name on high".
It's not hard to serve God. It's not a chore, and it brings so much joy.
Make yourself free to serve.
