lyrics

The cripple rose and folded up his bed
The ruler's daughter came back from the dead
Children loved to play and joke while sitting on His lap
The prodigal son feasted upon the fatted calf

Zacheus found salvation from His greed
The adulteress was restored her dignity
A murderer was counted among His closest friends
The blind man under judgment received his sight instead

Chorus
You are God of the helpless and the weak
Lifter of the desperate and the meek
Forgiver of the faithless and the pharisee in me
Though you hold the worlds in Your hands
Your glory You reveal through us

Mary poured her oil onto Your feet
and Paul poured out his life so gratefully
The widow in the temple left her coins to You in trust
Peter on His knees cried, “My Saviour and My God”

Through the ages You have chosen to use the weakest ones
Aware of all their failures they trusted only in Your Son
In their footsteps now we follow; our success we count as loss
Compared to the forgiveness and grace found at the cross

about

barrypeters Lloydminster, Alberta

Welcome! I've been playing music since I was 3-4 years old: piano, violin, clarinet, drums and guitar. I am passionate about music because through it God moves us and speaks to us about His grace, truth and righteousness. I hope you enjoy my mixture of folk, classical, rock and blues music. ... more
