Attitude of Gratitude

An attitude of gratitude is pleasing to the Lord.

Someone who’ll stand and give Him thanks is what He’s looking for,

A heart of adoration with sincere appreciation,

For all that He has done and all He’ll do,

An attitude of gratitude.

Going to Jerusalem, not far from Galilee,

Jesus met a group of men plagued with leprosy.

He had such compassion, by His power they were cleansed,

But out of ten, only one gave praise and thanks to Him.

(chorus)

Still today our God is doing great and mighty things,

Caring for His children, meeting each and ev’ry need.

All around us we can see His blessings outpoured.

Let’s take some time ev’ry day to praise and thank the Lord.

Let’s praise and thank the Lord.

An attitude of gratitude is pleasing to the Lord.

Someone who’ll stand and give Him thanks is what He’s looking for,

A heart of adoration with sincere appreciation,

For all that He has done and all He’ll do,

An attitude of gratitude.

Alle, Alle

Alle, alle, alleluia; Alle, alle, alleluia;

Praise Him ev’ry day;

Ev’ry day sing alle, ev’ry day sing alle, alleluia.

He lived for us, He died for us, He rose from the dead.

He freed us from the grasp of sin, He rose from the dead.

(chorus)

He was a man yet God’s own Son, He rose from the dead.

He shared His glory with all men, He rose from the dead.

(chorus)

He lights the darkness of our lives, He rose from the dead.

With Him we rise to die no more, He rose from the dead.

(chorus)

Awesome God

Our God is an awesome God.

He reigns from heaven above with wisdom pow’r and love.

Our God is an awesome God!

Our God is an awesome God.

He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, pow’r and love.

Our God is an awesome God!

(repeat 2 more times)

Our God is an awesome God!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Big House

I don’t know where you lay your head or where you call your home,

I don’t know where you eat your meals or where you talk on the phone.

I don’t know if you got a cook, a butler or a maid.

I don’t know if you got a yard with a hammock in the shade.

Come and go with me to my Father’s house.

It’s a big, big house with lots and lots of rooms.

A big, big table with lots and lots of food.

A big, big yard where we can play football.

A big, big house.

(sing chorus 4 times)

It’s a big, big house.

As the Deer

As the deer panteth for the water so my soul longeth after Thee.

You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship Thee.

You alone are my strength, my shield, to You alone may my spirit yield.

You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship Thee.

Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah,

Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah.

Spin

Well, I’ve been movin’ in a new direction.

Don’t you know that something’s gonna change?

I’ve been infected by God’s injection;

Now I don’t say the things I used to say,

‘cause now I’m changed. I’m not the same.

And now I’m moving’ in God’s direction, and I feel good about that!

Don’t you know I’d do it night and day?

Jump up, spin around, get up, get down. Oh, yeah.

And now I’m walkin’ with a new objective ever since the day that Jesus saved me.

Now I’m changed. I’m not the same.

And now I’m movin’ in God’s direction, and I feel good about that!

Eyes of Love

Through the piles of dirty clothes,

through the mounds of toys I know you see me, with eyes of love.

And through the times when I am mad,

Through the times when I’ve been bad, you see me with eyes of love.

God gave you a special gift that only moms possess.

It goes beyond the ordinary, to super love I guess.

Then when I am fully grown,

with some children of my own I’ll see them, with eyes of love.

Because you taught me very well,

always giving of yourself I’ll see them, with eyes of love.

God gave you a special gift that only moms possess.

It goes beyond the ordinary, to super love I guess.

Through the times when I am mad,

through the times when I’ve been bad, you see me,

you always see me, you always see me, with eyes of love.

My Peace
