FOR GRANTED

5 Apr

…

“The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.”  Psalm 18:46

…

Have I taken you for granted, Lord?

Can You forgive me?

…

Do you understand the pain of Circumstance,

That clouds reason.

…

You patiently wait as I blame you,

For events You had nothing to do with.

…

You sing to me songs of Love,

When I feel the depths of worthlessness.

…

You send me tender arms,

When I feel unloved and unlovable.

…

You send me songs of joy,

When tears steal my night.

…

You wake me with a tender caress,

Inviting me to intimate times with You.

…

You speak into my life the words of strength,

Courage and wisdom,

As I open the pages of Your Word.

…

You fill my mouth with the tongues of Angels,

A private language that only we understand.

…

Lord, do I take you for granted?

Will you forgive me.

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.
