SING

When you sing, sing imagine you are in heaven.
We are redeemed, let us exalt His Holy Name!
When you sing, forget worries that bind you.
This is time to worship, to show Him our love!
When you sing, sweep away all other thoughts.
His Spirit moves you, so let your heart be led.

When you sing, sing as though Christ is among us.
The room is filled with His love, you praise Him.
When you sing, unencumbered, raise your hands.
Or bow your head, just as the Spirit leads, follow.
Do everything in an orderly manner, but sing!
Allow the Spirit to remove distractions from you.

When you sing, don’t look around you, worship Him.
Satan rages when our hearts are focussed upon God.
When you sing God is pleased with our Gift to Him.
Your voice does need to be perfect, to Him you are.
When you sing, allow the Holy Spirit to guide you.
This is the time for us all to unite our praises to Him.

Enduring Prayer - Faithful Belief

Whosoever draws nigh to God
He is sure to draw nigh to him.
Whosoever asks something of God
He is sure to be heard and the request
Will be considered with us in mind.

For the Father knows what is best for us
He knows our needs before they are asked.
And each of us requires different answers.
Our greatest exigencies are trust and faith.

Without faith it is impossible to please God,
Without trust we cannot possibly obey Him.
Without a close walk with God we will not hear
What is required of us and what waiting means.

For to wait when an answer does not come,
Therein lies the true test of the believer’s faith.
The believers needs are often met after trials
Are endured and prayer shawls frayed.

Well done thou good and faithful servant
Often comes at the end of a dusty journey.
When the refiners fire has done its work.

Oh Father!

I so miss the ones who have gone on to You!
I know that others feel the same way that I do.

It is not that I’m unsure of seeing them again,
I wish I could spare their loved ones such pain.

I’m not jealous, I know that I’ll soon be with You.
I will be able to greet my loved ones again too!

Life here is just as a breath as Your word says.
I’m assured of life with You one of these days.

Now that I’ve grown in You, realizing Your way,
I know I need to focus on You each and every day.

Being a Christian does not take away all the pain.
It won’t be long; keep me strong ‘til we meet again.

Remind me to pray for those that are left alone,
Give me words to say; You are on Your throne,

You will carry them when they need Your touch.
My prevailing prayer and love can mean so much.

More

We only see but a little of the ocean,
A few miles distance from this rocky shore;
But Oh! Out there beyond... beyond the eyes’ horizon
There is more ... there is such more !

We only see a little of God’s loving,
A few rich treasures from His mighty store;
But Oh! Out there beyond ... beyond our life’s horizon
There is more ... there is so much more!

We only see but a brief glimpse of life
A few years living.....just this bodies’ store.
But Oh! Out there beyond... beyond our imagination
There is more....there is so such more!

Walk With Me

Father, quicken mine heart and let it be

Unremitting, Thine always; live in me.

Let my thoughts be fine tuned by You,
Never to deviate from Your works to do.

This is my covenant I set seal unto You.
Father God, come walk with me; now do!

Be my eyes, and sharpen my ears; use me.
Let those who are seeking life look and see

Not me walking with them, let them see Thee.
Spirit Guide walk alongside, and talk to me,

And then let the words of my lips surely be
Ones that are used to lead others to Thee.

Amen

You Waited

For so long you patiently waited.
I ran on ahead, doing things my way
Faster don’t you see?
So I ran on ahead
I did not listen for Your gentle voice
Running ahead was my choice.
Far better for me.
Doing things my way, in my own time
That is why I ran on ahead.
You were too slow for me.
I stumbled in my haste, falling on my face.
All because I ran ahead.
I learned of Your amazing grace.
I turned, and in my pain I looked back.
You had waited there for me.

You Too Must Weep

Let me not live a life that’s free
From “The Things” that draw me
   Close To Thee...

For how can I ever hope to heal
The wounds of others
   I do not feel ...

If my eyes are dry and I never weep,
How do I know when
   The hurt is deep ...

If my heart is cold
And it never bleeds,
   How can I tell what my sister needs ...

For when ears are deaf
To the beggar’s plea,
And we close our eyes and refuse
   To ever see.

And we steal our hearts
And harden our minds,
And we count it a weakness
   Whenever we’re kind.

We are no longer following
The Father’s Way
Or seeking His guidance
   From day to day ...

For, without “Crosses to carry”
And “Burdens to bear”
We dance through a life
   That is frothy and faith,

And “Chasing the rainbow”
We have no desire
For “Roads that are rough”
   And “realms that are higher” ...

So spare me no heartache
Or sorrow, dear Lord,
For the heart that is hurt
Reaps the richest reward.

And God enters the heart
That is broken with sorrow
As he opens the door
   To a brighter tomorrow.

For only through tears
Can we recognize
The suffering that lies
   In Another’s eyes.
