I Peter 4:19

I have seen the wonders

Of our love through generations

How blessed is your name

To your daughters and sons.

Luke 1:33

Fill my heart, Lord

Fill it with your grace

I will ever want more

Until I see your face.

Fill my heart, Lord

Fill it with your love

Teach me with patience

Until you take me above.

Fill my heart, Lord

With your loving kindness

That I might others adorn

With your sweet blessedness.

Luke 2:49

I long to be a child of God

Walking through life by His side

Climbing each mountain

Through dark valleys

Across this Divide.

The journey isn't long

If He walks with me

The precipice not deep

For His glory, I see.

What does God offer?

What does He share?

Freedom from sin and sorrow

Everlasting life God's care.

When it is time to cross

The valley of death

I'll close my eyes

and take my last breath.

Knowing that I've lived

A life so free

And it has just begun

A life of eternity.

John 16:12

When I bow my head in prayer

Help my heart bow, too.

May my hands be lifted up

May my will be one with You

For prayer is more than words

It is more than forming thoughts

It is a surrender of my self

It is a revealing of self you taught.

The cross is the key

To understand the way

And follow you daily

And cleave to you each day.

Luke 18:31

Why did God choose me?

I am of no value

I am at the end os suffering

There is nothing to review

Why did God choose me?

It's not because of who I am

It's because of who I'm not

It's because of Jesus, the Lamb

Why did God choose me?

He loves the me He made

He wants to walk with me

When I walk with Him the me fades.

Surround me with your love

That I live free

To walk with you only

And be God's me.

I Thessalonians 5:19 - Quench Not the Spirit.

Like the touch of a butterfly kiss

Upon my pink cheek

So is the nudge of the Holy Spirit.

I must listen to hear Him speak.

Help me to hear

Help me to know

Help me, I pray,

For blessings He'll bestow.

May I walk in His presence

And never leave His light

And peace I'll ever know

As I journey day and night!

Revelations 1:7 = Behold, He comes with clouds.

As I walk each day,

I peer into the sky

Looking for the clouds

Scudding way up high.

For in them I see your footsteps

And I know you are there

Watching over your creation

And I know you care.

When storm clouds hover

And threaten to engulf me

There is peace in my heart

In the clouds, your hand I see.

When the skies are clear

And no clouds in sight

That's when I long to know you

For your Word is my delight.

Jesus will come with the clouds

Each morning I as, Is it today?

Come quickly, Lord Jesus

God knows the when, You know the way!

Isaiah 49 - Jeremiah

God is Real!

Nothing compares to You
Nothing as real and true.
We oft search far and wide
Before we come to your side.

The Lord is so real
The Living God - the Saving Healer
When's He's angry, Earth will shake
And godless people quake.

When all hope is lost
I look to the cross
I remember You're real
And before You, I kneel

Through Jesus I am healed
Through Jesus, saved and sealed.
I wait on the Lord - there's more
In His strength I will soar.

August 17 - Luke 18:22

I walk discouraged

Knowing what is right

Knowing the path to choose,

Yet I walk in the night.

I hear your words

Like a knite, they penetrate

Yet I falter and stumble

Hy heart in a turmoil-state

Lord, help my unbelief

Steady my walk with You

Help me take the plunge

And to Your Will be true.
