Save Me

Sugeet Lader

Save me from myself, Lord;
Save me from my need
To always run my life, Lord,
To control my every deed.
Save me from my pride, Lord,
My focus on just me;
Help me learn to serve, Lord;
Show me how to be.
Save me from the world, Lord,
When tempting things entice;
Remind me of eternity
With You, in paradise.
I give my life to you, . . . → Read More: Save Me

We Need You, Lord

by Sugeet Lader

We need you, Lord.
Like lost wanderers in a burning, empty desert
thirst for cool, clean water,
we long for you to quench us.
In a world gone progressively mad,
with chaos all around us,
we seek refuge in the order and purpose of your law.
With evil sneaking, leaking everywhere,
spreading heavy darkness,
creating feelings of emptiness,
we hunger for your goodness and . . . → Read More: We Need You, Lord

GOD’S SACRIFICE

by Sugeet Lader

GOD’S SACRIFICE

Our Heavenly Father
Look down from above
On the world you’ve created
Out of words of love

Lord when you spoke
Precious life into being
You created so perfect
Each and everything

But when we sinned
Perfection was lost
And separation from you
Was the price it cost

I know many times
Throughout the future years
You tried so hard in vain
To draw us all near

It took . . . → Read More: GOD’S SACRIFICE

THE LAMB OF GOD

by Sugeet Lader

Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
Who takes away our sin
He came the sinless Son of God
To cleanse our hearts within

He hung upon the blood-stained cross
Thinking of you and me
Dying like some hardened criminal
His body in agony

His blood flowed down from the cross
His body tormented with pain
He cried out to His Heavenly Father
But it seemed . . . → Read More: THE LAMB OF GOD

O Holy Spirit of God

by Sugeet Lader

 

 

O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us;

inspire all our thoughts;

pervade our imaginations;

suggest all our decisions;

order all our doings.

Be with us in our silence and in our speech,

in our haste and in our leisure,

in company and in solitude,

in the freshness of the morning and

in the weariness of the evening;

and give us grace at all . . . → Read More: O Holy Spirit of God
