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.
