Be Quiet

I listened
Hoping to hear His voice
Quietly waiting for His direction

I heard the voices of this world
Roaring like a mighty wind
But God was not speaking through them

I heard the sound of battles in foreign lands
Shaking the earth and all its people
But God was not speaking through them

I heard loud preachers and evangelists
With fire in their voices they preached the word
But God’s direction for me was not in their words

So I settled down to sleep
Quiet and peaceful
And then I heard His voice
Still and small, giving me direction
Effective Prayer

You’re Welcome

There are so many times
I say Thank You Lord
For the wonderful things you have done
But oft I'm so busy
Giving Him thanks
That I don't listen to His response

I think, if I’d listen
To hear His soft voice
The words He would say would be clear
He would once again
Tell me of His great love
As He whispers these words in my ear

Your welcome to my peace
More peace then you’ve ever known
I’ll shower it on you each day
So you’ll never feel alone

Your welcome to my joy
That bubbles up from deep within
Though trials may come in your life
My joy will help you to win

Your welcome to my healing
For sickness and heartache and pain
You no longer have to suffer
My healing will touch you again

Your welcome to my mercy
I extend it to you each day
I paid the punishment for your sin
So you can be free from your shame

Your welcome to my grace 
I desire to bless you so much
By faith take the gifts that I give you
Allow me your life to touch

I feel He would go on and on
Welcoming me to His love
The list of His blessings is endless
He showers them down from above

So the next time I thank Him, I’ll listen
To see if these words He will say
And then I will take time to praise Him
Day after day after day


Praise and Worship

Hallelujah to My King

One night while I was sleeping
My pillow soft and warm
I felt the Holy presence of the Lord

I stood with great awareness
That He was there with me
Then I sang Hallelujah to my King

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah to my King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah to my King

In the morning I so often hear Him speak to me. It may be through a praise song or in the quiet of the sunrise, but His voice is very recognizable. It may be in the noon day sun or when the stars are sparkling and bright that He would call my name. He often speaks these words to me in rhyme and asks me to write them down. Often He gives me the whole song at once, like He did with this one. As I walk along the old railroad tracks, which have been made into a bike trial, I lift my hands and sing the songs He gives me. Such joy fills me heart as I thank Him for giving me words to share with you.

What is God saying to you today? I can guarantee that He is speaking to you every day, and quite often during the day. Do you hear Him? Do you try to hear Him. Or are you so caught up in this world that the voices here drown out the voice of God. Don’t you hear that voice telling you what is right and what is wrong? Don’t you hear Him whispering which way to turn? He is always there. We too often are not still enough to hear!

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God

His Perfect Plan

I was tired and worn out
I faced the world with doubt
I didn’t know what was in store for me
I looked up to the sky
And my soul began to cry
God why have you allowed these trials for me

Then I heard His gentle voice
He said son you have a choice
The way you choose determines how you’ll do
You can face them with your doubt
Or you can lift your voice and shout
From the joy you feel that I am here with you

In the middle of the test
I will never rest
I will always walk beside you through the fire
So just trust me do not doubt
For I will bring you out
This trial has a purpose in your life

I listened to His words
And knew life could be worse
So I rose up from my feeling of despair
With God close by my side
I decided to abide
With Him until this trial disappeared

He will bring His perfect will
As He does I will be still
And see His plan begin to come about
For He will walk beside me
His Spirit is within me
There’s nothing that can stop His endless love

Sweet Words

I am constantly reminded of my failures
By the enemy that lurks inside my mind
Hew takes every opportunity to mock me
And to make me feel I’ve really missed the mark

It’s so easy to give ear to what he’s saying
For I always seem to think that I fall short
But if I listen closely there’s another voice
Speaking words that cause me peace and joy

Sweet words of Jesus
Words of life
Words that bring healing
Words that end strife
Sweet words of wonder
Words of grace
Words that uplift me
To a higher plane

Now I choose to shut out the enemy
Who would fill my mind with fear and doubt
I will listen to the words of my Savior
In the midst of my trials He’ll bring me out

Sweet words of mercy
Words of faith
Words that deliver
Words that save
Sweet words of His love
Spoken in my ear
Words that bring life
To all who hear

Open up His word
Listen everyday
There is so much
He has to say
Sweet words of Jesus
Spoken to you
Follow His word
In all you do

I Listen

Silently
I wait for thee
In the morning
Before dawning
Stars aglow
Snow below
Air is cold
Wind is bold
I listen

Heart for you
Thoughts anew
Your voice I hear
In my ear
Silently
Quietly
You speak to me
These words of life
And sacrifice
I listen

Thank you Lord
For your words
For these psalms
That bring calm
Silently
Gracefully
You speak to me
Words that seek
To set us free
That we might be
Found in thee
Help me Lord
To listen
