I don't always know the right way. I don't always know what to say. All I know is something happens when I pray. I know I can get through when I pray. I know I can reach You when I call Your name. You're never too busy for me. When I pray.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

I smile, even though I hurt see I smile. I know God is working so I smile. Even though I've been here for a while I smile. It's so hard to look up when you been down. Sure would hate to see you give up now. You look so much better when you smile, so smile.

Heart under fire, facing defeat. So close to surrender, to my enemies but Love came from heaven, to fight for me. When I am defenseless, You climb in the trenches. The King of all glory, made Himself low. To be my defender, wherever I go. You're always here with me.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

I give You glory for all that You've done. Even though I don't deserve it You did it. Even though I couldn't earn it You give it. Who am I that You keep me on Your mind? God I'm just grateful for You. All my life, You've been right here by my side. God, I'm just grateful for You.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

All my words fall short I got nothing new. How could I express all my gratitude?. I could sing these songs as I often do. But every song must end and You never do. So I throw up my hands and praise You again and again. Cause all that I have is a hallelujah.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

There is no pain Jesus can't feel. No hurt He cannot heal. All things work according to His perfect will. No matter what you're going through. Remember God is using you. For the battle is not yours, it's the Lord's.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

The blessings of the Lord make you rich and addeth no sorrow.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

Everything happens for a reason and you'll never have peace if you don't let go of tomorrow. It ain't even faith until your plan falls apart but you still choose to follow. If it doesn't make sense right now, it will when it's over and there will be joy in the morning.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

I've learned the the substance of my life lived and eternal. Is more rewarding while I'm living and when I'm called home. Than all the stuff I'll ever own.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

I need you, you need me. We're all a part of God's body. Stand with me, agree with me. We're all a part of God's body. It is His will that every need be supplied. You are important to me, I need you to survive. I pray for you, you pray for me.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

I'm the man in the mirror y'all. I can see my wrong and I'm here by grace. Through Christ by faith I had to make that choice. I had to open up my mouth and say. Gimme that joy I can't explain. Add extra peace that'll ease my pain. I want that love that'll never change. Gimme dat.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

When the troubles of life weigh you down. Just lift your head up. When the love you seek is hard to find. Don't give up, just be strong, keep the faith and hold on. Change is coming. Hold on and don't worry 'bout a thing. Everything is gonna be alright.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

Believing gets hard when options are few. When I can't see what You're doing. I know that You're proving. You're the God who comes through. I'll look back on this moment and see Your hand on it and know You were here.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

What are you going to do when your time has come? Your life is done and there's nothing you can stand on. What will you have to say at the judgment throne? I already know the only thing that I can say. I Trust in Jesus, my great Deliverer, my strong Defender. The Son of God.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

I know You're good but this don't feel good right now. I know you think of things I could never think about. It's hard to count it all joy distracted by the noise. Sometimes I gotta stop. Remember that You're God and I am not. So, Thy will be done.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

I felt His glory and I know He's real. He brought me out and He's with me still. He took my emptiness and made me filled. I will testify while I'm living still. If He did it once I know He always will. From the highest mount to the lowest field. I know yes I know my God is real.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

I don't always know the right way. I don't always know what to say but all I know is something happens when I pray. I know I can get through when I pray. I know I can reach You when I call Your name. You're never too busy for me, when I pray.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

You cannot break down what can't be broken. Out of all the rankless, I was chosen. When all of the lights, they get low and all of the curtains, they close. You cannot break down what can't be broken.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

Father God, I'm prayin' to you for somebody. I pray he'll open up the sixty-six book love letter you wrote. I know it's killing You because it's killing me and matter of fact there's something else he's concealing. See, the person that I've been prayin' about is really me.

[Nathan T. Thomas @ChristDirection]

"Fear haunts you and pain hates." I say, "Pain strengthens and fear drives faith." I don't know all of the outcomes. Don't know what happens tomorrow but when that ocean of doubt comes. Don't let me drown in my sorrow.
