Are you Ready to Praise? God deserves our highest praise no matter what our circumstance.
I wrote this song in 2019 as an additional song to sing at Kids Camp. It went over well so we've incorporated it in Kids Worship and all church worship at my home church.
Praise the Lord with me! He is WORTHY!

All Of Me
Verse 1
You are set apart, there is no other like Jehovah
Fill my heart, Holy Spirit with Your sweet aroma
All I want is You, and to be in Your presence
Till every part of me, is saturated in Your essence.
Pre-Chorus
I'm sorry for the times I've settled for just a feeling
God increase my faith
Till I only hear what You’re revealing
Chorus
All I have to offer You is all of me, all of me
All I have to lay at Your feet is all of me
Jesus take all of me
Make my heart Your throne, I am Yours alone
Redeemer be my King
Redeemer be my King
Verse 2
I’ve searched high and low
To quench the hunger burning in me
Now I know, Your presence God is all that I need
The peace in Your embrace
So far beyond what I can measure
The fullness of Your grace
Worth more than any earthly treasure
Pre-Chorus
I'm sorry for the times I've settled for just emotion
God increase my faith
Until I give You complete devotion

All I have to offer You is all of me, all of me
All I have to lay at Your feet is all of me
Jesus take all of me
Make my heart Your throne, I am Yours alone
Redeemer be my King

I'm sorry for the times that I put faith in my own power
Fill my heart again
Jesus with Your holy fire
Chorus
All I have to offer You is all of me, all of me
All I have to lay at Your feet is all of me
Jesus take all of me
Make my heart Your throne, I am Yours alone

Let There Be Peace was one of four songs written in Nov of 2021 to go with a sermon series our pastors were preaching called "The Sounds of Advent."
It goes along with the story of Jesus' dedication at the temple in Luke 2.
Here are the lyrics, I hope you enjoy it, but more than that, I hope you find the Peace of Christ in every season.
Let There Be Peace
Vs 1
At the temple in Jerusalem It was just another day
A young mother and her husband came, their child to dedicate
Simeon reached out and took the baby in his hands
He looked upon his face and saw what only he could understand...and he said
Chorus 1
Salvation is here, here in my arms
I'm holding the maker of the universe
Messiah has come, come to our world
Revealing the light of God to us
Unspeakable joy, I am complete
Looking into the eyes of grace
Let there be peace, let there be peace
The King is born
Vs 2
The parents stood there so amazed at everything they heard
They knew this boy was special so they clung to every word
He said He's gonna rewrite history, He's holy and divine
Then he raised his voice to Heaven and cried out more time
Chorus 1
Salvation is here, here in my arms
I'm holding the maker of the universe
Messiah has come, come to our world
Revealing the light of God to us
Unspeakable joy, I am complete
Looking into the eyes of grace
Let there be peace, let there be peace
The King is born
Bridge
Now here we are so many years later
Still searching for peace where it can't be found
But if we trust in Jesus our Savior
We can proclaim without a doubt
Chorus 2
Salvation is here, here in my heart
I'm holding the maker of the universe
Messiah has come, come to our world
Emmanuel is still God with us
Unspeakable joy, I am complete
And I am covered by His grace
Let there be peace, let there be peace
I've been reborn
Tag
Let there be peace, because of the King
I’ve been reborn
Psalm Of Mary was written to go with an Advent sermon in 2021 by Pastor Gaby Rodriguez in reference to Luke 1:46-55...beautifully performed by my daughter Emma Milligan.
I wrote this as a special song to go with a sermon about 20 years ago.
Christmas, like the rest of the year, is all about Jesus. Most folks just don't know what they're missing.
As Christians, Christmas gives us an extra opportunity to share our faith and God's love with others.
Merry Christmas!!
For my kids, I can't wait to see what God has in store for your future, but I still treasure the days in the rear-view mirror.
Written for my son Carson in early 2001, and title track of my first solo CD. The Jesus In Me.
A song for my dad, Joe Milligan. Wrote this about 20 years ago, mean it more now than ever, I love you dad!
Enjoy an interview with my oldest, Carson, and stay tuned to hear him sing one of his original songs, Fill The Pages.
Thank you to all those who paid the price and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" - John 15:13
Wrote this back in 1991, I was 16. It's not from personal experience, just thought the hook was a good idea, "I sure with those Oklahoma winds would blow you back to me."
I hope you enjoy it.

This one the first song I wrote for my daughter. Happy Birthday baby girl!! I love you!
I'm so thankful for all the moms in my life. You've made such a difference in this world.
I wrote this one for my mom, Happy Mother's Day mother!
This song was written for my Papa and Granny (McDowell) for their 50th wedding anniversary.
When I Say No
We're all going to be tempted, and probably sometimes give in. However, the feel of victory when we say no to a temptation is much better than what we are tempted with in the first place. I hope you enjoy this episode. If you want lyrics, let me know, heyjasonpodcast@gmail.com
Thanks again for listening!!
“Who Remembers”
Vs. 1
Peter stood before God’s risen son, so ashamed of what he had done.
He said, “Lord remember the multitude you fed, or when you raised Lazarus form the dead,
Or when I was ashamed to say I knew Your name.”
Jesus shook His head in disbelief, then Peter sighed a moment of relief
When He said, “Yes, I remember Lazarus and the people by the sea
But one thing has slipped my memory.”
Chorus
I don’t remember the times you failed me and had to make a brand new start.
I don’t remember the times you were ashamed, though I’m sure it broke my heart.
All I recall is you asking me to, cleanse your spirit through and through.
Now the only one who remembers your sin, my child, is you.
Vs. 2
I had a dream I stood before God’s throne, so ashamed of things that I had done.
I said, “Lord, remember the times that I sinned and when I asked Your forgiveness again and again.
Lord, I pray that You’d let me in.”
Jesus shook His head in disbelief. Then I sighed a moment of relief,
when He said, “well done my servant, you’ve been faithful over some.
Now come on in and see your brand new home.”
Chorus
Bridge
I said seventy times seven that I would forgive your sin,
and each time you bowed down to ask me you started all over again.

Loving Hand
Vs. 1
I was nothing till Jesus came and made me whole
I was empty till He came and filled my soul
He said He’d go with me as I lived from day to day
And if I would trust Him, He’d lead me down life’s way
Chorus
So precious Jesus keep your hand upon me every day
Lord please shine Your light that I might see the way
Lord I was a sinner till You came and set me free
So Lord please keep Your loving hand upon me
Vs. 2
When He came into my life I gave Him all
Then I listened and waited for His call
He gave me joy and peace and happiness within
Now that He’s with me, my life is free from sin
Chorus
So precious Jesus keep your hand upon me every day
Lord please shine Your light that I might see the way
Lord I was a sinner till You came and set me free
So Lord please keep Your loving hand upon me
Tag
Lord I was a sinner till You came and set me free
So Lord please keep Your loving hand upon me

What I Deserved
Vs1
I broke the ties, I broke Your heart
I broke the rules right from the start
I broke away, thought I was free
now all that's left is broken me
I searched for peace where it could not be found
Then I turned around
Chorus
And You came running You broke my chains
You broke my fall
You carried me right through it all
You clothed me in forgiveness
At the table of Your grace
My debt was paid You saved my place
Vs2
I will do what You require
I will go where You desire
No more to roam no more to flee
Your precious blood has rescued me
I'll share the love and mercy I have found
And I won't turn around
Chorus
And You came running You broke my chains
You broke my fall
You carried me right through it all
You clothed me in forgiveness
At the table of Your grace
My debt was paid You saved my place
Bridge
What kind of love is this, so willing to forgive
Forget all that I did and die that I might live
What kind of love is this
that would leave a throne of fame
Take another's blame and bear a cross of shame
What I deserved is not what I have found
You turned me around
Chorus
And You came running You broke my chains
You broke my fall
You carried me right through it all
You clothed me in forgiveness
At the table of Your grace
My debt was paid You saved my place

What I deserved is not what I have found

“Silver and Gold”
Verse 1
Charlie stood at the back of the Salvation Army line where he’d go each Saturday for food.
Some call him hopeless, but he was only homeless, and he tried to do his best to make it through.
They would gather round the fire from of the trashcan in the wintertime,
and listen to the stories he would share.
He would tell them ‘bout a Savior and a place that he called Heaven,
and a mansion that was waiting for him there.
They would all ask him why he lived such a life, and they wondered how he’d make it.
But, he’d just smile and say, “One day I met Jesus Christ,
and He gives me strength to take it.”
Chorus Silver and gold have I none. But I’ve got all I need and that’s God’s only Son.
I have forgiveness for all of my sin, a peace and joy that will never end.
He’s building me a home where milk and honey flow.
So for right now I can live without silver and gold.
Verse 2
All the homeless people gathered at the Salvation Army line one Saturday but Charlie didn’t show.
The police department found him by a dumpster in an alley
and they buried him discretely as John Doe.
No attendance at his funeral and no family there to say good-bye.
No one even knew that he was dead.
They never noticed he was missing and though they’ve forgotten Charlie.
They still remember all the things he said.
Chorus
Bridge
They would all ask him why he lived such a life.
It was more than they could imagine.
But he’d just smile and say,
“One day I’ll see Jesus Christ and I’ll trade this cardboard box for a mansion.”

Here Comes The Bride Vs 1 With a heart full of joy, she answered him yes Then hurried back home to open the chest At the foot of her bed where she had hidden her treasure She planned for this moment all of her life And dreamed of the day she’d be called his wife Now it’s finally here and everything’s coming together The music is loud, they stand to their feet as the door swings open wide Chorus Here comes the bride, she’s coming to meet her groom Look at the smile on his face like there’s nobody else in the room She saved her heart for only one until death to stand by his side A new life has begun, here comes the bride Vs 2 With the death of His Son He redeemed fallen man The price paid in full by the blood of the Lamb To show them His love and His wonderful grace beyond measure He planned for this moment before time began And longed for the day He’s be with them again Now it’s finally here and everything’s coming together The trumpet sounds out; their feet leave the ground As the gate swings open wide Chorus 2 Here comes the bride, she’s coming to meet her groom Up through the air in the blink of an eye to the Father’s throne room She gave her heart to the one with the scars in His hands, feet and side A new life has begun, here comes the bride Bridge She’s been watching and listening for Him to call out her name She’s been keeping her lamp full of oil and fanning the flame His mercy and love has broken her chains The blood of God’s Son has washed every stain She’s all dressed in white, not even a spot She’s been justified, she’s been sanctified Now’s she’s glorified Chorus 3 Here comes the bride, she’s coming to meet her King All of the Angels are silent to hear the song of the redeemed She gave her heart to only one forever to stand by his side A new life has begun here comes the bride Eternal life has begun, here comes the bride Tag: The debt for all sin on the Savior was shifted One veil was torn so that one could be lifted Words and Music: Jason Todd Milligan © Copyright 2007
