Dependent on You

by Tere' Pamatian

The Lord’s grace and mercy is in me
He is there forever and that I see
For all the joys and woes I encountered in my life
I always feel that this faith of mine keeps the fight


I will worship You O’ Lord, whenever I’m hurt
Because feeling the pain, led me through believing
That I'm not alone in this journey
That I'm not alone in this plea ...


I will remember the works of the Lord
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old (PS 77:11)
It feels good to trust and believe in You
It feels good to be dependent on You


Let me be the person You want me to be
Here I am, cleanse me and mold me
Strengthen me and guide me
As I go through with life...


Surely I will remember Your wonders of old (PS 77:11)
I will remember the works of the Lord
It feels good to trust and believe in You
It feels good to be dependent on You!

Let Me Be Your Witness

Lord Jesus, let me be Your witness

To proclaim Your Gospel of salvation,

To share your light to those in darkness,

To tell about repentance and conversion.

Lord Jesus, let me be Your witness

To bring Your mercy and compassion

To all in bondage of sin and wickedness:

There's forgiveness and full restoration,

Lord Jesus, let me be Your witness

To share Your love to the unlovable,

The poor, the needy, and the homeless,

The aged, the unwashed, and the disabled.

Lord Jesus, let me be Your witness

To tell of Your gift of a new life of grace

To all who turn away from unrighteousness:

There's freedom from sin and peace-filled days.
