THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
LYRICS: by Paula Vega Vondenstein ©2019
Why do you work so hard to earn your way to Heaven?
Don’t you know..oh don’t you know
Don’t you know?
There’s nothing you can do to save yourself
No amount of good works will ever get you into Heaven
So let it go and let God
Yes, you must let it go and let God
Jesus is the only way…only way
There’s no other name under Heaven
By which you must be saved.
Jesus is the way, the Truth and the Life
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Lay your sin and your burdens at His feet
Yes, you must lay your sin and your burdens at His feet
Ohh…Walk away..walk away from your lifestyle of sin
Let Jesus rescue you
And save you for His very own.
Jesus, please rescue me, save me for Your very own.
Ohh…rescue me…rescue me
Save Me!
Save me for Your very own.
Ohhh Your very own

INTO THE ARMS OF JESUS
LYRICS: by Paula Vega Vondenstein©2019
I’m running from myself
Into the arms of Jesus.
I’m running from my pain
Into His arms of peace.
I’m running from my former life
My soul is His to keep.
I’ve traded all my plans
For the plans He has for me.
I’ve traded my desires
For the desires of His own heart
I’ve traded my will for His will
My heart for His heart.
(Guitar solo)
I’m running from myself
Into the arms of Jesus.
I’m running from my pain
Into His arms of peace.
I’m running from my former life
My soul is His to keep.

SEEKER OF MY VERY SOUL
LYRICS: by Paula Vega Vondenstein©2019
I’m Master of my own domain
Going nowhere fast
Like a gerbil on a wheel
I’m Going nowhere fast.
I’m seeking my own truth
On what feels right to me
I’m choosing my own path
Not God’s perfect plan for me
I’m seeking my own counsel
Not seeking God’s perfect Word
I’m answering to no one but myself
To no one but myself
It’s time for me to step down
From the throne if my own life
The Creator of the Universe
Is seeking my very soul.
The King of Glory
The King of Majesty
He’s seeking my very soul
He’s longing for my very soul
Jesus is longing for my very soul
(guitar solo)
It’s time for me to step down
From the throne of my own life
And give Jesus His rightful place.
It’s time for me to fully surrender
My heart, my will, my life
To the seeker of my very soul.
Jesus, I surrender to You
Jesus, I surrender to You
The seeker of my very soul
The seeker of my very soul

I took away Your praises
And replaced them with my name

For the things I did not do
Looking back I’m filled with shame
The glory belongs to You, Lord

It was You Who saw me through
It was You who opened doors for me
The glory belongs to You, Lord
The glory belongs to You.

I DIDN’T TAKE TIME TO PRAY
LYRICS: by Paula Vega Vondenstein©2019
Time to get up and start another day
I grab a cup of coffee
And a quick bite to eat
I’m out the door and
I’m moving down the highway
I get to work
I’m all safe and sound
I’m ready to tackle another day
It’s time for lunch
And a much needed break
From my stressful workday
Now my day is half over
And somehow I didn’t take time to pray
mmmmmmmm
It’s five o’clock now
My workday’s finally done
I’m out the door
And I’m moving down the highway
I get home safe and sound
I tell my family hello
But somehow
I didn’t take the time to pray
Now it’s time supper
Time for family
Time for bed
hmmmm
My day is finally over
It’s over
And somehow
I didn’t take time to pray
Did I tell You that I love You, Jesus?
Did I thank You for another day?
Did I tell you Jesus
You’re my everything
Lord Jesus
You’re my everything

GOD’S NOT THROUGH WITH YOU

In your deepest darkest hours
When all hope is slipping through
Just remember God is in control
And He’s not through with you
God has great plans in place for you
So don’t give up, my friend
Your life is far from over
And the best is yet to come
God’s not through with you
He loves you
God’s not through with you
He loves you
Sometimes in life
You’ve got to go through the rain
To get to the rainbow
Go through the darkness
Before you see the light
Jesus sees your pain
He knows what you’re going through
Jesus is the Light
And He’s reaching out His hand to you
Just grab on tight
Grab on tight
Grab on tight

FOOL, DID YOU NOT KNOW?
LYRICS: by Paula Vega Vondenstein©2019
I’ve got my life in order
All my ducks in a row
I’ve got my future planned for me
I think I’m in control
Fame and fortune is my game
A life that glorifies me
Seeking pleasure at any cost
I never slowed down to see
There’s something missing
There’s something missing
I never made time for the things of God
I lived my life for me.
In just one moment
My life could be gone
And facing eternity.
And I heard God say,
“Fool, Did you not know
That tonight your very soul
Would be required of you?”
“Fool, Did you not know
That tonight your very soul
Would be required of you?”
There’s something missing
I never made time for the things of God
I lived my life for me.
In just one moment
My life could be gone
And facing eternity.

He loves me when I feel unlovable
He encourages me when I feel
Like giving up

Who strengthens me
I can do all things through Christ
Who strengthens me
Yes, My Lord Jesus
He strengthens me.

TRUST GOD
LYRICS: by Paula Vega Vondenstein©2019
When life does not make sense
Trust God
When your world comes crumbling down
Trust God
When you’re at the end of your rope
Trust God
When you’ve lost your life long spouse
Trust God
When you’ve lost that perfect job
Trust God
When your bank account runs dry
Trust God
When your doctor has bad news
Trust God
When you’ve lost your only child
Trust God
When your spouse walks out on you
Trust God
When your best friend takes his life
Trust God
I know it’s easier said than done
But you’ve got to trust God
When it’s the hardest thing to do
You’ve got to trust God
Trust Him with your heart
All your mind
All your strength
Trust Him with everything you’ve got
He will see you through
mmm Yes He will
Some things we will never understand
This side of heaven
But God…God sees the big picture
Seek Him in all things
Trust Him in all things
Trust God in all things

A LIFE THAT GLORIFIES YOU
LYRICS: by Paula Vega Vondenstein©2019
Lord, I want to live a life
That glorifies You
In all I do, In all I do
With every breath I take
And every word I say
Every word I say
Not just on Sundays
But on each and every day.
When you say that you’re a Christian
People watch your every deed
They wait for you to stumble
But instead just plant a seed.
When you live a life of kindness
And treat everyone the same
You show the world the love of Christ
And bring glory to His name.
Lord, I want to live a life
That glorifies You in all I do
With every breath I take
And every word I say
Not just on Sundays
But on each and every day.

THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
Cover Song (Repentance Version)
LYRICS: by Alan Price
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one
My mother, she was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father he was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on the drunk
So mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the rising sun
Yeah, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
It’s been the ruin of many
It’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
Ohhh…Oh My God
I know I’m one
