LORD YOU TAKE OVER



WITNESS


8-26-13


LORD YOU TAKE OVER

Are you trying and trying
To rebuild your life
Overcome your obstacles
And lift your life
Back up to God

Not by our own power
Can we do so
Not by our own power---

If we are looking for our lives
To be lifted up
Not by our own power
Can it be done
Only by the power of God

“Yours oh Lord
Is the greatness and power
And the glory and the majesty and the splendor
For everything in Heaven and earth
Is yours
Yours, oh Lord, is the kingdom
You are exalted as head over all
Wealth and honor come from you
You are the ruler
Of all things
In your hands are strength and power
To exalt and give strength and all”                                           1 Chronicles 29:11 & 12

Lord you take over
You take over all
Lord we human beings don’t know what we are doing
We are headed
For a fall

The disciples had been fishing all night
Yet caught nothing at all
He said,
“Friends have you caught any fish”
“No,” they answered
“Throw your net
On the right side of the boat
And you will find some”                                                               John 21:5 & 6

They did
And a great catch was made---153 in all

Lord you take over
We are headed for a fall

Lord---we try and try
To overcome our health difficulties
We try and try
To make our financial ends meet

Lord you take over
We can’t do it alone

We try and try
To make our marriage
And personal relationships work
We want the best
For our family and our kids
Sometimes it doesn’t work out
The way we intend

Lord you take over
We can’t do it
With our own power
We can’t do it alone

Saint Paul said,
Three times I pleaded
For the Lord
To remove the thorn in my flesh
But the Lord said to me,
“My grace is sufficient for you
My power is made perfect
In your weakness”                                                           2 Corinthians 12:9

Lord we are weak
But you are strong
Not by our own power
Can we do it

Lord you take over---PLEASE---Take over all
