My Soul Thirsts ~
Lord, in the aridness,
of my heart and soul
I am thirsty for You
to reign and take control.
I long to absorb and drink,
from Your holy Word
to feel the Living Waters
in my mind being stirred.
Lord, in the dryness,
of my daily reality
I thirst for You to bring
a hopeful vitality.
I long to be nourished,
with the Truth and Life
to feel Your stilling peace
eat away my earthly strife.
Lord, my soul thirsts,
for You solely . . .
tis why I seek You
with my heart wholly!
~~~~~~
“O God, thou art my God;
early will I seek thee:
my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee
in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is;”

Open Our Eyes Lord ~
Open our eyes Lord,
to all of Your wonder
on Your very Word
may we daily ponder.
Let us see You,
in all of Your goodness
give us an eye-full
of Your loving-kindness.
Open our eyes Lord,
to all of the splendor
of living a life . . .
to You, in surrender.
Let us always dwell,
on all that is right
give us a glimpse into
the lamp of Your light.
Open our eyes Lord,
to Your wondrous brilliancy
so we may get a view
of Your Word’s resiliency!
~~~~~~
” Open thou mine eyes,
that I may behold
wondrous things
out of thy law.”

In His Strength ~
When troubles waters,
start to churn and swirl
before my faith . . .
can begin to spiral.
To my Lord,
I take my distress
and with His strength
I am blessed.
When my worries,
start to push and pull
before my faith . . .
becomes void and null.
To my Lord,
I take my praise
and in His strength
I am not fazed.
When troubled waters,
are all I can see . . .
I pray to my Lord
to strengthen me!

“I can do all things
through Christ
which strengtheneth me.”

Migraines ~
Light flashes,
lines zig-zagging
arms go limp
eyes starts sagging.
Dizzy and woozy,
room is a spinning
migraine headache
is just beginning.
Close my eyes,
go with the flow
sit back and watch
the light show.
Throbbing starts,
take migraine pill
try to relax
and just be still.
Shut off lights,
turn down sound
as head goes . . .
pound, pound, pound.
Rockin and reeling,
from the pain
oh, how I wish
to end this migraine.
If you suffer,
just like I do . . .
please let me know
so I can pray for you!

that thou mayest prosper
and be in health,

I Need to Know ~
Lord, I need to know,
how to be still . . .
I want to understand
Your perfect will.
I desire to believe,
You’re in control
I long to feel
trust in my soul.
I seek to find,
Your peace ideal
I search to discover
Your mercy’s real.
I wish to have,
faith complete
I care to believe
You’re my retreat.
Lord I need to know,
how to truly rest . . .
while You’re working out
for me, Your very best!

God Has A Time For Everything ~
God has a time,
for everything
and for every one
new season’s He brings.
There’s a time of peace,
and a time of bleakness
a time of spiritual health
and a time of sickness.
There’s a time to rise up,
and a time to regress
a time of fearfulness
and a time to onward press.
There’s a time of hope,
and a time of testing
a time of great faith
and a time of wrestling.
There’s a time to praise,
and a time to mourn
a time to rejoice
and a time to be reborn.
For every thing,
God has a reason
a time for all things
in their due season!
~~~~~
“To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose
under the heaven:”

~ The Reason for My Hope ~
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

What Can Man Do?
I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
