KNEEL WITH US

22 Dec

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.” Psalm 95:6

As we come to You,

We seek the truth,

Our open hearts we give.

We lift our hands,

And take a stand,

in righteousness to live.

Help us speak for You,

In all we do,

Your words of peace we share.

Please hold us near,

And calm our fears,

And kneel with us in prayer.

Lord, we teach Your word,

Your truths are heard,

We walk in love and faith.

We share Your ways,

For strength we pray,

We’ve learned to kneel and wait.

Keep us in Your will,

Our own thoughts stilled,

Our old ways changed to new.

Please keep us close,

At any cost,

Our mind on only You.

 Lord, we lift our hands,

In love we stand,

A shout of faith we raise.

We reach to You,

Your touch renews,

Our words are songs of praise.

Seeking to be filled,

To know Your will,

Fills every waking hour.

Please touch our souls,

And let us know,

Your mercy, strength and power.

CALLING

12 Oct

Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit.   1 Thessalonians 5:17-19

I see Your smile in the reds and golds of dawn,

Your pleasure in the stillness of the waking morning,

You’re calling me, Lord,

Pray.

 

I see Your hand calm the stress of the moment,

Your tender assurance as situations explode,

You’re calling me, Lord,

Pray.

 

I see Your will in the difficult changes of life,

Your plan unfolds to make a path for my feet,

You’re calling me, Lord,

Pray.

 

I see Your peace in the quiet of the night,

Your Word rests gently in my arms, in my heart,

You’re calling me, Lord,

Pray.
