Closer To Home by Milly Stegall

Mercy and Truth
Going hand and hand
We're headed for
The promised land.
Righteousness and Peace
Close together
Upward and onward,
Better weather.
When we draw
Ourselves to God
And He leads us
In His Word.
The visions of Home
Become much clearer
Heaven is nearer
and God is dearer.

Almighty Lord Upon The Throne by Milly Stegall

My life belongs to You alone
Almighty Lord upon the throne.
As I look up into the skies
I feel my spirit start to rise.
Knowing You are King of kings
And by Your hands created all things.
Everything on earth that lives
Every good and perfect gift You give.
More than my imagined hope
Is sorrow included in this? Nope!
All day long, Your thanks be known
Almighty Lord upon the throne.

The Calling by Milly Stegall

The calling is sure, it's real
It's not based on how we feel.
Choosing Jesus as our Lord
Trusting and walking in His Word,
We come to know Him as He is.
And He makes us lights and
We know we're His.
He calls us precious in His sight
As we focus on His holy light.
And with the hope that soon we'll see
His glory and His majesty.
For He promised, He did say
He'd come back for us one day.

When We Get To That Place by Milly Stegall

When we get to that place
Where the Lord sits on His throne
And we see Him face to face
There in our heavenly home
And He loves us by His grace
And we know as we are known
When we get to that place
We'll never be alone.

The Cross by Milly Stegall

Christ on the cross
A reminder that He died for me.
Christ off the cross
A reminder that He set me free.

Calvary Love by Milly Stegall

If God so loved the world He gave
Then as believers we should give
And in the giving, die to ourselves
That Christ is shown to live.

For what are we, but vessels
Empty until filled
We must share God's love with others
For with His Spirit, we are sealed.

Jesus died for every soul
Not only for you and me
So we must give our lives to Him
For all the world to see.

That Calvary love
The Risen Lord
The Truth
And be set free.

Answered Prayer by Milly Stegall

As I pray, I realize
That in the years passed by
My prayers have changed
To some degree
What I wanted then
Does not please me.
I asked amiss so many times
Fruitless, selfish prayers were mine
Thank God, You know my carnal mind
And did not answer at the time.
You knew all along
What I really wanted
And turned my heart
Toward that one thing.
And when I pray now
I'm more careful
Answered prayers come from the King.
