There Was Jesus Lyrics

Hey Friends, 

Thanks for visiting! We have just two more songs in this song lyrics series. It has taken me a few weeks to cover all ten songs. 

Today we are visiting track number 9. The last two songs might be the best two songs on the whole album. 

There was Jesus is a special song to us. It is a song that we have loved for a while. The words have taken on a whole new meaning to us since Dad's passing. 

No matter what situation in life we are experiencing. Jesus is always right there! Oh, what a comfort to cling to!

Ben Isaacs made this project possible. He encouraged us to keep singing and recording. He offered his production expertise and amazing equipment to us. 

He also provided amazing background vocals on 9 of the songs. We cannot adequately thank him for giving of his time and talent. We are honored that he loves us and believes in us!

On There Was Jesus, Ben made it incredible!  This song is all my Mom and a choir of Ben! We both love the way this song turned out. I tease Mom all the time. Her favorite song on the album... is the one that I do not sing on. 🤣

Below are this song's lyrics. You can find our new album, The Next Step, by Kelly Jo and Odie today. It is available for download on all streaming platforms. You can contact us to order physical copies of the project. We have CDs and USB drives available for a donation to Boggs Family Ministries.

There was Jesus

Verse 1

Every time I try to 

Make it on my own

Every time I try to stand

I start to fall

And all those lonely roads 

That I have travelled on

There was Jesus

Verse 2

When the life I built 

Came crashing to the ground 

When the friends I had 

Were nowhere to be found

I couldn't see it then

But I can see it now

There was Jesus there was Jesus 

Chorus 

In the waiting in the searching 

In the healing and the hurting

Like a blessing buried 

In my broken pieces

Every minute every moment

Where I've been 

And where I'm going

Even when I didn't know 

Or couldn't see it

There was Jesus

Verse 3

For this man who needs 

Amazing kind of grace

For forgiveness at a price 

I couldn't pay 

I'm not perfect 

So I thank God every day

There was Jesus there was Jesus 

Chorus 

In the waiting in the searching 

In the healing and the hurting

Like a blessing buried 

In my broken pieces

Every minute, every moment

Where I've been 

And where I'm going

Even when I didn't know 

Or couldn't see it

There was Jesus

Bridge

In the mountains in the Valleys 

(there was Jesus)

In the shadows of the alleys 

(there was Jesus)

In the fire, in the flood

(there was Jesus)

Always is and always was

No, I never walk alone 

Chorus

In the waiting in the searching 

In the healing and the hurting

Like a blessing buried 

In my broken pieces

Every minute every moment

Where I've been 

And where I'm going

Even when I didn't know 

Or couldn't see it

There was Jesus

There was Jesus

Mighty Big God Lyrics

 Hey Friends,

We have reached track 4 on our new project. The song is Mighty Big God. It was written by Jimmy Yeary and Sonya Isaacs Yeary, but recorded by Karen Peck and New River. 

This song has been a regular in our song lineup for many years. We have sung this song in services from coast to coast. It is a great faith-building song. 

Our dear friends Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla Mayhan has reminded us a lot that God is still big, even in our uncertainty about life. They have encouraged us to keep singing this song. So when we were compiling songs for The Next Step, we knew this would be included. 

Below are the lyrics to the song. I hope and pray this message continues to encourage many people to believe God is big. I know He can do anything!

Verse 1

He brought down a giant

With a boy, a stone and a sling

He swallowed up an army

When He parted the Red Sea

He shut the lion's mouth

When they threw Daniel in the den

He hasn't changed

He's still the same

Today as He was then

Chorus 

Cause He's a big God

There's never been nothing 

That He can't do

He’s a big God

And He knows just what 

You’re going through

No matter how big the 

Hopeless helpless 

Problem is you've got

Don't worry He's a mighty big God

Verse 2

You might be facin'

Some steep mountain 

You can't climb

You might be drowning

In a sea of tears you've cried

You may be praying

For a miracle right now

Well, go ahead and claim it

He's already worked it out

Chorus 

Cause He's a big God

There's never been nothing 

That He can't do

He’s a big God

And He knows just what 

You’re going through

No matter how big the 

Hopeless helpless 

Problem is you've got

Don't worry He's a mighty big God

Don't worry He's a mighty big God

I Choose To Believe Lyrics

Hey Friends,

Thanks for visiting today. We are looking at song number three on our Next Step Project. 

I Choose To Believe was first recorded by Phillips Craig and Dean. We sang it back then. Then it got filed away. 

Last year while we were looking for songs. I went to a P,C and D concert. When I got home, we were discussing their songs. Mom said what was that song we sang? We looked it up. Soon it was added to our project song list. 

I love the message in this song. We have lived this message in the past, amd continue to do so today! 

"Even when my world is shaken

Even when my heart is breaking

And even when it seems 

He's taken so long 

I choose to believe

And never give up hope

God is good

And He’s in control

I'll keep the faith

Trust in His way

Even when His face is hard to see

I choose to believe"

 

I hope this song encourages many to make the choice to believe. Even when life is hopeless we can and should believe in God. Below are the full lyrics.

Verse 1

It didn't take long 

For my whole world to change

One phone call 

Now life will never be the same

It's like I'm watching 

My whole world go dark

Nothing makes much sense

But still with all my heart

Chorus 

I choose to believe

And never give up hope

God is good

He's in control

I'll keep the faith

Trust in His way

Even when His face is hard to see

I choose to believe

Verse 2

It's easy to believe 

When everything goes our way

But we are all gonna go threw fire 

That test our faith

Life hurts so much

 We can barely breathe

We're begging to know why

But it's such a mystery

Chorus 

I choose to believe

And never give up hope

God is good

He's in control

I'll keep the faith

Trust in His way

Even when His face is hard to see

I choose to believe

Even when my world is shaken

Even when my heart is breaking

And even when it seems 

He's taken so long

And never give up hope

And He’s in control

I'll keep the faith

Trust in His way

Even when His face is hard to see

I choose to believe

Oh God is good

He’s in control 

I’ll keep the faith 

Trust in His way

Even when His face is hard to see

God’s Opportunity Lyrics

 Hey Friends,

I have not yet posted the lyrics to our new project on the blog. Today is the day we start The Next Step lyrics series. I may also give some stories behind the song and why they are special to us. 

Hopefully, we can add a page of the lyrics in PDF form soon. Dad always struggled to get PDFs onto Blogger. My research shows that it is a multi-step process. My phone signal is not adequate at the moment to figure it all out. 

The Next Step is our latest music project. It is available for download on all streaming platforms. You can contact us to order CDs or USB drives. Click HERE to view the official album artwork.

Ben Isaacs encouraged us to do this project. He produced, sang, encouraged and guided us through the process. He felt it was something we needed to do, as we try to find the next step individually and as a ministry. 

This is the first album by Kelly Jo and Odie. We recorded this just 7 months after Dad's passing. We wanted to include him, too. He is a co-writer on both original songs on the project. We started and ended with those songs. 

 

Song number one is titled God's Opportunity. Dad and Mom had begun writing God's Opportunity, and it was mostly done when he passed. Mom and I just finished a few spots and polished it for this recording. I love the way it turned out. 

Gods Opportunity 

WRITERS: KELLY JO BOGGS, ODIE BOGGS AND DAVY BOGGS /JUSTOKMUSIC/BMI

Chorus

Could this be an opportunity 

 For God to work a wonder 

make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you

Verse 1

Fret and agonize 

Over darkened skies 

Stumble down the road 

To find your way 

In a world of hate 

You must have eyes of faith 

So you can clearly see 

The light of day

Chorus

Could this be an opportunity 

For God to work a wonder 

Make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you

Verse 2

Twist and turn 

Crash and burn

Questions more than answers 

Every day 

Way behind lousy frame of mind

But there’s a silver lining to the gray

Chorus

Could this be an opportunity 

For God to work a wonder 

Make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you 

Verse 3

Here we go again 

Will it ever end

Cannot make it work out 

Like it should 

I have found God can turn it around 

And work it all for my good 

Chorus

Could this be an opportunity 

For God to work a wonder 

Make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you

Bridge

Troubles on the rise 

Darken all your skies

Please remember God is working too

I don’t know where you’ve been 

But I see you're still standing

He’s using every trial 

To strengthen you

 Chorus 

Could this be an opportunity 

For God to work a wonder 

Make it new

We see impossibilities

But God sees miracles in me and you
