Alone with my Jesus

I come to my closet, alone with my Jesus
This is a need in my life day by day.
In quiet silence I hear His voice calling:
“Be still, My child, and know ye My way.”

Here in my closet, alone with my Jesus
Talking, engaging, and lending an ear.
Keeping my heart’s eyes on His face and promise
Leaving my doubts and my needs and my fears.

I come to my closet, alone with my Jesus
To be transformed by His mercy and grace.
More like my Jesus, He gives me His likeness,
When I come alone to a still, quiet place.

With Songs of Deliverance

With songs of deliv’rance my Savior compasses
My soul round about in His mercy and grace.
My Strength in the battle I shall have the victory
When He is my Rock and my Hiding Place.

With songs of sure vict’ry His Spirit doth strengthen
My heart in the trouble, He hears ev’ry cry.
Though Satan would tempt me, I call unto Jesus
My Tower of Refuge, my Fortress in nigh.

With songs of assurance, my Comfort doth help me.
Why should I fear with my Jesus beside?
I shall not fear what men shall do unto me
Still I will trust Him to lead me and guide.

With songs of forgiveness, my Jesus doth cleanse me,
When I acknowledge my sin unto Him.
He breaks down each stronghold if I would but ask Him,
Renews me to serve Him in truth once again.

With songs of His blessing He teaches me daily
Instructing therein in the paths of His choice.
I trust in His holiness and wait for direction
Glad in His presence, my heart shall rejoice.

With songs of deliv’rance, my Savior compasses
My life round about. He is all that I need.
The vict’ry is sure for it was won on Calvary
In Him I am free, yes free, free, indeed!
