Crucified with Christ,
not my life now but His
earthy desires put aside
not my life now, but His.
Crucified with Christ,
this new man I put on
no more pride and ego
old man all but gone.
Crucified with Christ,
an exercise of His grace
an end to self-reliance
now His strength I embrace.
Crucified with Christ,
sin no longer to control
since faith came to dwell
inside my heart and soul.
Crucified with Christ,
not my life now, but His
alive in flesh and faith
not my life now ~ but His!
~~~~~~~~~
Galatians 2:20-21
“I have been crucified with Christ;
it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me; and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live
by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave Himself for me.
I do not set aside the grace of God;
for if righteousness comes through the law,
then Christ died in vain.”
King James Version

Sometimes I stand and wait,
in the gap of my prayer
between my plea to God
and the depth of my despair.
There seems to be a void,
an empty span of space
and though I’ve no answers
I can still sense His grace.
I walk through the abyss,
of God’s love for me
keeping my faith in Him
for what I cannot see.
I put away my fears,
in exchange for His rest
knowing I can trust in Him
as I wait for me His best.
Sometimes I stand and wait,
in prayer’s hopeful gap . . .
and let His love and grace
my heart and soul wrap!

Lord give me a heart,
one willing to go do
everything You ask
though I don’t know how to.
Let me not count on,
my own comprehending
instead let me rely on
what is Your understanding.
Lord give me a mind,
one able to go act
anything You require
without knowing the facts.
Let me not refer,
to my own way of thinking
instead let me employ
Your way of reasoning,
Lord give me a heart,
with a trust tangible
give me a mind . . .
filled with Your rational!
~~~~~~~~
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord
with all thine heart;
and lean not unto
thine own understanding.

Child of the day,
children of the Light
put our trust in God
with all of our might.
Warriors on this earth,
fighting off evilness
pledge never to return
to our former wretchedness
Holy and righteous are we,
holding on to the Life
even though it causes us
worldly grief and strife.
Awake, sober and alert,
to the powers of darkness
son’s and daughter’s of God
full of awe and awareness.
Child of the Light,
children of the day
put all of our faith in . . .
the Truth, Life and Way!
~~~~~~~~
Thessalonians 5:4-5
But ye, brethren, are not
in darkness, that that day
should overtake you as a thief.
Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day:
we are not of the night,
nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep,
as do others; but let us
watch and be sober.

A doubting spirit,
will get you no where
a wavering one
will only add to your care
A steadfast soul,
will only make you strong
a believing one
will never steer you wrong.
A leery heart,
will only get in God’s way
a wary one
will cause faith to decay.
A skeptical mind,
will befuddle and confuse
a distrustful one
will perplex and bemuse.
A vacillating soul,
makes a wavering trust
a loyal one
knows God is always just!
~~~~~~~~
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work
of the Lord, forasmuch as ye
know that your labour is not
in vain in the Lord.
