I Beseech Thee
Holy Spirit enlighten me with what You need to say
Fill my heart with the words I should daily pray.
I know You need a vessel to act through
Cleanse me so I may provide this for You.
I know for Your presence to be felt by all
We must respond when we hear Your call.
Though when You call we may pretend not to listen
We get so caught up in the things of this world that glisten.
Selfishness, fear, and greed are things that scream
Make You inaudible as if a mere dream.
What an un-god-ly price we pay
To let things of this world get in Your way.
The combined riches of what this world could net
Can never come close to paying man's sin debt.
Christ knew he would have to offer Himself as ransom
If the sins of this world were ever to be overcome.
And even in His death He did not leave us all alone
He sent his Holy Spirit to guide us back home.
That is Who it is I now do beseech
To show me the way Your hearts to reach.
For whence His Love does enter a heart
You will never want to spend another moment apart...
Jesus Our Friend
Before this Earthly life is spent
We must in Christ's name repent.
For there can be no Heaavenly reward
If we do not praise Jesus Christ as Lord.
Christ told us He is the way
So in the name we should daily pray.
And then when our time has come to an end
We will find Christ Jesus as our friend...
God's Love Will Never Cease
The Love of God will never cease
The more you learn of Him the more It will increase.
For God's Love is a constant thing
It stems forth from His Eternal spring.
For us to partake of this never ending flow
It is Christ Jesus we must come to know.
God is Spirit and so are we
That is how He created us to be.
As Spiritual beings we must become aware
We must realize His Love is everywhere.
Just as a body requires water to drink.
Our soul seeks out for the missing link.
When we seek Christ he will always be found
For it is in His Love we are all bound.
It is the Love of God that will never cease
It is to become the source of our Eternal peace...
Don't Allow Me To Get In Your Way
My Lord and my God don't allow me to get in Your way
Please don't prevent me from hearing what you have to say.
I humbly offer myself to Your side
May Your Holy Spirit always in me abide.
Through my own sins I prevent You from being near
It is my own weakness that stops You from being here.
I find no strength in myself alone
Until in Your will I seek to atone.
For the true power that I do possess
Is giving into Your will when put to the test.
This world will cause my stubbornness to increase
Nowhere will it offer me Your insurmountable peace.
When I get caught up in the daily process of living
I blind myself to the Love You are giving.
My senses become no use to me at all
The prevent me from seeing or hearing Your call.
Forbid me to speak when You have something to say
And in that way my words will never get in Your way...
One Step At A Time
When Christ's Light does enter your heart
All that is not of Him will soon have to part.
For to have His Love remain with you
You must be willing to experience life anew.
It will be impossible to see things the same old way
For it is now God's will you must solemnly obey.
The hardships, fears, and pains that you once knew
Must be released never again to be a part of you.
Christ will lend you all the help that you will need
Have faith in Him to show you how to proceed.
With one step at a time you are on your way
To experience the Light of a brand new day.
Having Christ as your guide He will see you through
To the land He has already prepared for you...
God's Sign Of Peace
God's signs of peace are gentle and kind
It is the lamb and the dove He uses to call Himself to mind.
When this world is ready for His kind of peace
All hatred and discord we must be ready to release.
God will not force His Love on any of us
He will win us over with His gentleness and trust.
God knows for a Love to be lasting and true
It could never be One forced upon you.
His Love is something we must freely choose to partake
It is a decision we alone will have to make.
And when the lamb and the lion can rest in the same fold
It will be God's face we will be ready to behold...
An Expression Of Faith
Prayer is an expression of faith to God above
It is our means of coming in communion with His love.
In talking to our Lord we should humbly say
Forgive us our sins and teach us to obey.
When prayers are not answered the way we see fit
Be sure to thank God for whatever it is we do get.
For Our Father who is all knowing and all wise
Would never send us anything that would lead to our demise.
For prayer to be answered this must be true
That it is God's will we are praying to do.
And when we learn to pray to do God's will
All of our prayers He will faithfully fulfill...
?To Be Strong
In a single act of disobedience fear was created
Causing deceit, dishonesty, and disrespect all to be mated.
For when one bad act is allowed to be
Many more will follow, that's a certainty.
From the moment with God we are not connected
Our human nature will try to keep us misdirected.
We will fearfully try to hide from God's sight
All the while convincing ourselves we are right.
The fear is illusionary this is true
Because God's will is not to be separate from you.
The exact opposite of fear is to be strong
We should humbly admit to God we are wrong.
When our confession does come from the heart
All that is not of God will soon have to part.
Once in God's will we do connect
Our faults will become quite easy to correct.
And when forgiveness is achieved through God's mercy
Always in His sight is where we will want to be...
God's Guest
For on this Earth we are all God's guest
Living here at our Dear Lord's request.
With these bodies we are free to roam
Not knowing when God will call us back home.
In the time He has granted us to stay here
We are to live a life that will draw Him near.
It may be by tremendous joy or extreme sorrow
By either means it is God we are to come to know.
For when in our hearts we experience grand exultation
We are to thank God for our extreme exuberation.
As when in our hearts we are immersed in devastating woe
It is the mercy of God we should come to know.
For in this life there will be both joy and misery
Because both are designed to bring us to God's face to see.
If you want to be a gracious and benevolent guest
Praise God for whatever comes your way, and you will be blest...
Face To Face
The Loving Father that God is
Wants for all of us children to be called His.
God did create us as human beings
To be one day worthy of His face to be seeing.
For us to become this kind of pure
Many trials we must be willing to endure.
Trials and tribulations our way will be sent
To teach us humility and learn to repent.
Our Father will give us more than just one chance
For our souls to purify and enhance.
Our Lord and God is truly all wise
For His blessing are sometimes sent in forms of disguise.
We may not see God from our hurting and pain
But nothing He sends is ever in vain.
The ways of Our Dear Lord are mysterious to us
Yet each is designed to win over our trust.
For if we caan trust in Our lord from this Earthly place
Then surely one day we will see Him face to face...
