A Fire In My Heart
Your love is the fire in my heart
Your love is the consuming furnace of my soul
Forever my heart shall burn and glow in your majestic presence
I shall never forsake you, and from you I shall never part
You are the air that I breathe, every step that I take
Every thought, every act, every deed
You are the reason that I live, and shall forever more
There is simply nothing more that I need.

He Is Strong When I Am Weak
When I kiss the hand that wounds me
Then I soar to heavens heights
But when I fight that hand that fights me
I am consumed by darkest nights
My flesh cries out that I am weak
And encourages me to scorn
Its time to turn the other cheek
Its for victory I was born
I will praise my God despite my woes
And rise up and declare Him great
And put to flight my many foes
And stand at heavens gate

Psalm 59
Like rabid dogs my trials surround me
I hear them howling in the night
I seek some solace from my bed
But all my sleep has taken flight
Awake to me in all my troubles
For you alone Lord are my shield
On every side I am surrounded
As I fall down on the battle-field
Consume them Lord consume the darkness
Deliver me from every fear
Lift my head that I may see you
Let me know that you are near

Psalm 125
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And you shall never stand alone
Walk with Him in all your ways
He is our mighty cornerstone
There are some who shall turn away
Their hearts were never His
Depart from me the Lord will say
Eternal glory they shall miss
They served themselves and not the Lord
And this is surely true
The child of God shall enter in
All others shall hear ' I never knew you'

Psalm 27
The Lord is my light and salvation
Of whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life
I stand because you are near
Set me high upon a Rock oh Lord
A place where you can hide me
In your pavillion and tabernacle I dwell
A place where I am truly free
Hear me oh Lord when I cry with my voice
For you are the Lord God Almighty
When I am abandoned and have lost all hope
I know that you will never forsake me

Psalm 13
Oh Lord have you forgotton me
How long will you hide your face
My heart is sorrowful every day
Oh how I miss your embrace
My fears are dark and my sleep is death
Shall I never hear thy voice again
My soul longs to walk with thee
To hear once more the glorious refrain
But I have trusted oh Lord in your mercy
For you are the glorious one
I shall rejoice in salvation and sing to the Lord
And sing of God's Holy Son

Psalm 2
The nations rage and the people plot
They shout in vain for they have not
They are a wrinkle, they are a spot
And the Lord He laughs from heaven
On My holy hill I have set my King
And around the world the church bells ring
My people bow down and I hear them sing
Of my glorious Son in heaven
Kiss the Son and bend the knee
He's the one who died to set you free
And with the Son you'll ever be
Eternally forever in heaven

Psalm 19
The soul is converted
And the simple made wise
The heart is rejoicing
There is light in our eyes
For the heavens declare
The glory of the Lord
There is no speech or language
Where this voice is not heard
What is sweeter than honey
More desirous than gold
What's more precious than silver
The Gospel story told
Let the words of my mouth
And the meditations of my heart
Glorify the King of Kings
For we shall never be apart

Psalm 121
I will lift up my eyes on high
And praise the God that I serve
He's an ever present help in time of need
He's the God that made heaven and earth
I stand upon the Rock that cannot be moved
And my soul He surely shall keep
I call upon the Lord, night and day
For my Lord He never does sleep
He is a shade to me in the desert sun
He is a fire to me in the night
He preserves my soul forevermore
He alone is my strength in the fight

Psalm 53
O Father you look down from heaven
What is it that you see
Men are lost in their sins, have gone astray
They are lost in their iniquity
Yet salvation arose from Zion
And you released us from captivity
And when men call upon you Lord
They are delivered and gloriously set free
From Calvary's cross you broke the chains
They were chains of slavery
Only the foolish reject this cross
And in their chains they forever shall be
