He Can Make A Way

Leave a reply 
He can make a way when I can’t see a way.
Consider what He has one before, have faith He can do it again
He parted the sea
He calmed the storm
He stopped the river
He stilled the waves
He raised the dead
He made lame to walk
He opened blind eyes
He made the dumb to speak 
He made the deaf to hear
He turned water into wine
He shut the lions mouths 
He opened prison doors
He stopped the sun
He turned back the sun dial
He stopped the issue of blood
He walked in the fiery furnace
He walked on water 

Is here anything too hard for my God?

He can cleanse me
He can deliver me
He can free me from my sin
He can give me peace
He can give me joy
He can calm my fears
He can ease my doubts
He can build my faith
He can give me eternal life

So much more is there for me
If only I will believe!

I Saw A Light

Leave a reply 
I looked up
 in the bleak darkness of the night time sky
 when I can't find my way in the dark
I saw a light
  smaller than a speck of dust
Then I saw another
  and another
  then multitudes on multitudes
Filling the sky like sand fills the beach
   Like water fills the oceans
   Like dirt fills the ground beneath
Flickering, some brighter, some not
  What would be giant masses up close
  Reduced to pinhead by distance 
  Millions of miles away

Then I saw a light
  rising in the Eastern sky
  Large and glorious filling the earth beneath with its light
But it did not produce light
  bur only reflection of light
Bright orange in the horizon
  larger than life
  slowly rising up the dark sky 
  the first lights growing dim
Reaching the pinnacle
  then receding downward
  growing dimmer as it gave in to the day

Then I saw a third light
   Only the rays at first
  Bouncing off the clouds in
  reds, yellows, oranges
  Skimming across the sky
Brighter and brighter 
  Rays upon rays
Then an explosion of light
  brighter than all the others
  so bright it was hard to look at
Filling my eyes
Filling the sky
Larger and larger as it rose up high
All the other lights vanished
Only one remained
Filling the earth with it's glow
Running across the sky
  casting shadows all the day long
Then the light recessed 
  back to the horizon
  again castings glowing colors 
  off the waiting clouds
  until the source of light disappeared behind the horizon
  leaving in its wake wave after wave of brilliant light
Until darkness once again appeared

I saw a light
The Light
The Light brighter than all other lights
The Light that reveals the inward parts
  the inward thoughts and intents 
The Light that penetrates the darkness in my soul
The Light that was from the beginning 
  and will always be
Nothing can hide from this Light
No one cam hide from this Light
This Light never fades
  It never goes out 
  It transcends all other lights
This Light reveals sin 
This Light expels the darkness of the soul
This Light needs no other light
  because there is no other light thar compares
This Light is the Sun
This Light is Jesus.

Silent Stillness

Leave a reply 
 I often sit in the silence of my mind
   wondering in which direction it will wander next.

Will I find myself drifting toward the dark recesses from my sinful nature?
Or will I take the higher road and find myself in the plan God has laid out for me

Unusual things may arise, and have arisen along the way
I have been stilled by broken bones, blinded eyes, diseased blood and worn-out joints
I have been ripped apart by the person I thought was my best friend and then spurned when I tried to    
  reconcile

Easily could my thoughts have gone to my former comfort, to the depths of depravity I once turned to 
  for fulfillment, my mind wandering in the abyss of carnality

I found myself starting to sink into that dungeon once again and summoned up the strength to cry out

Cry out to the one who knows what lurks in the silence of my mind, my hidden thoughts, hidden loves, 
  hidden intentions

He alone can save me from myself

He alone gives strength to oppose the horrible, the terrible, the horrendous thoughts that creep in.

He can replace the horrible with the wonderful, the terrible with the merciful, and the horrendous with the righteous.
 
Why would I tend toward evil when He will guide me toward the good?
Why would I ignore His urging to meditate on good when He searches my heart all the time?

In thar silent stillness, I determine to set sail toward the high ground, away from the whirlpool of the 
  abyss, into the loving arms of my Savior
Into the grace that His mercy alone provides 
Into the refuge for my soul and the fortress for my mind
Where I can sit in silent stillness and rejoice

Turn Your Back

Leave a reply 
I can't wait to get to heaven
It's the place that I call home
There I'll share a feast with Jesus
Sorrow exits at the door
You can't find a place more peaceful
There's a mansion for your home
When I get there pain will go away
I don't want to go alone. I want to take you with me
All you have to do is turn your back on all your sin
Ask the son of God to come and live deep down within
Confess that He is Lord and He has risen from the dead
Then you will be born again and heaven you will win
I can't wait to walk the streets of gold
Enter in the pearly gates
See the saints if God all gathered there
Singing songs of highest praise
All the angels gathered to His throne
Echo holy is His name
What a day of wonder that will be
I don't want to go alone
I want to take you with me
All you have to do is turn your back on all your sin
Ask the son of God to come and live deep down within
Confess that He is Lord and He has risen from the dead
Then you will be born again and heaven you will win
I want to take you with me

Perfect Timing

Leave a reply 
I sit here and wait for an answer from God
Only He knows the day He will answer my call
I do not have to fear what tomorrow may bring
So I'll sit right here waiting for Him.
His timing is perfect, on Him I rely
Even though I can't see it He's working inside
I just have to sit here and offer my prayer
He'll always come through, He'll always be there.
So I sit here waiting on an answer from Him
I'll wait 'til He answers and I'll ask again
Because one small request said a million times o'er
Is better than one that is uttered so sure
How about you? Can you just wait on Him?
Or do you require an answer right quick
perhaps He knows best, and your answer will come
When He knows you're ready to receive what He's done

So Tenderly

Leave a reply 
I have drifted, I have strayed
I have gone to far away
Can my Lord find me here
In my sin?
Feeling outcast, tired and lonely
I don't really want to own me
I just want to get back
Into His arms
I know He hears my cry
I know He hears my plea
As I pray through my tears
Down on my knees
Crying, weeping for my sin
And the struggle within
To give up all the things I desire
I know He hears my cry
I know He hears my plea
And He lifts me in his arms
So tenderly.
Forgiven!
I'm forgiven!
He will not hold my sin against me
Forgiven!
Yes, forgiven!
I have this blessed hope eternally
Why did I wait?
Why did I linger in my sin?
I knew He'd listen
Why did I hold on?
Why did I not let go?
I knew He'd free me from my burden
I know He hears my cry
I know he hears my plea
As I pray through my tears
Down on my knees
I know He hears my cry
I knew He hears my plea
And He lifts me in His arms
So tenderly
Forgiven
I'm forgiven
he loves me in spite of my faults
Forgiven!
Yes, forgiven
Now go and share the glorious results
he always hears our cries
he always hears our pleas
So come before His throne
Down on your knees!

Need Help?

Leave a reply 
Quietly sitting
Unable to sleep
Go for a walk
The night air to breath
Once around, twice around
This circle we share
Enjoying a cool breeze
In the night air

I hear a faint sound
And then see a light
A neighbor is outside
In the midst of a plight
In the darkness I walk up
And ask him :"Need help?"
Startled he looks up
Why yes, I need help

Funny how we never know
'When we might be used
To help a stranger
Out in the night
God sets my path
He marks every step
I pray He can use me
Day after day.

Are You Alive?

Leave a reply 
Are you alive?
Is blood flowing through your veins?
Is your heart beating?
Are you breathing?
Then praise the Lord!
That is all that matters
No trial should keep us from praising Him
No test,
No sickness
No injury
No heartache
No setback
No hurt
Nothing should keep us from Praising Him
Not because He blesses me,
Not because He saved me
Not because He delivers me
Not because He heals me
Not because He guides me
But just because He is!
Let everything that hath breath
Praise the Lord!
