A New Song by Milly Stegall

There has to be a new song
to sing unto the Lord.
The old ones are quite lovely
but I want to give Him more.
Something new to sing to Him
the Lord of everything.
Something pleasing to His ears
Oh glorious, King of kings.
Most Holy God to serve You
Is always on my mind.
And my desire is for You
I'm seeking til I find
The perfect song of worship
Praise and adoration.
So in my song I lift You up
In prayerful celebration.
Of who You are and what You did
The sacrifice You made
Of sending us Your precious Son
So that our debts were paid.

Things Not Seen by Milly Stegall

Letting go and holding on
seems contradictory
Letting go of all that's me
And holding what I cannot see.
Casting off the natural
To grasp the God who's real
And knowing that He holds all things
My empty soul to fill.
The purest thought I've ever had
Could in no way convey
The greatness of the things He's done
With every passing day.


Jesus is the Key by Milly Stegall

When I look back on my life so far,
the things I have done and the things that were done to me
I know I can't change the bad to good
I just have to know that Jesus is the key.
For all of my problems and my ways
I have Him to turn to
Away from the past to Jesus for praise
I can't change the past
I can live for today
Leave the past behind,
My sin debt is paid
The blood of Jesus covers me
and that is all I can say.
Today I live for Jesus
And He takes sin away.


God Speaks by Milly Stegall

Sometimes when I am alone
I hear You speak to me
from Your throne.
Sometimes when I am still and quiet
Your still small voice
speaks to me in the night.
Those are the times
I feel closer to You
It thrills my soul when You speak
And You do!
I'm always amazed
That You'd talk to me
in that special way
that sets my heart free.
I long for that quiet time
that we spend
and I wait for the time
I will hear You again.

What I didn't Do by Milly Stegall

I didn't wait for You, Lord
I didn't think I could.
I wish I had another chance
And then maybe I would.

Beginning again at my age
It's a very hard thing
But I know You're good, that's Your nature
And for this I sing.

If I had the strength to do what's right
then I would not be me
and You would not be You.
I admit my weakness, forgive me what I do.

Needing More of You by Milly Stegall

Close to You is where I want to be
Far away is where I live
Needing more of You
Needing less of me
Fill me up, so I may give
All my love to You
All my praise to You
All I am to You
Day by day.
Needing more of You
Needing less of me
Fill me up, oh Lord, I pray.


My Father by Milly Stegall

I am Your child.
You are my Father.
I need You to walk with me through this life.
You teach me Your ways
And carry me farther.
And I bless You and thank You for getting me by.
Through all of the trials and all the temptation
Your guidance, My Lord, is all that I need.
I'm looking forward to Your returning
Hasten, My Lord, to Your people with speed.
