A Clean Heart Created ~

When you ask God,
a clean heart to create
all of the hardness
will no longer dictate.

Instead it will turn,
into a heart of flesh
so that it’ll no longer
with evilness enmesh.

When you ask God,
to create a pure heart
from all sinful things
you’ll willingly depart.

Instead you’ll pursue,
all things that are just
because now it is God
whom you love and trust.

When a new heart,
in you God creates
a renewed spirit . . .
every day awaits!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart,
O God; and renew a right
spirit within me.

Ezekiel 36:26

A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart
out of your flesh, and I will give you
an heart of flesh.

Oh, To Know God’s Goodness ~

Oh, to know Your goodness,
Your holiness and grace
to have within my very reach
Your strength to embrace.

Then I shall never doubt,
or fall into dreaded fear
then I shall know what it’s like
to have You always near.

Oh, to understand Your anger,
Your judgments and Your wrath
to seize upon the truth
that leads to Your holy path.

Then I’d mount up on wings,
and like an eagle I’d fly and soar
then I would take off to heaven
and enter thru salvation’s door.

Oh, to find Your perfect rest,
from the weariness deep within
to find Your calm that settles me
when my life is in a tailspin.

Then I shall not be tossed,
by every wave or stormy gust
then I would find my Savior . . .

Jesus Came To Give ~

Jesus came to give,
to all abundant life
to deliver us from
work’s toil and strife.

And so He became,
the Door to the Way
for He saw how some
led His flock astray.

Jesus knew the thieves,
would rob and steal
His sheep from Him
so to destroy and kill.

And so He became,
the Good Shepherd
to settle with the robbers
salvation’s record.

Jesus came to save,
His sheep from the wolves
so they could recognize
the sound of their hooves!

~~~~~~~~

John 10:8-12

All that ever came before me
are thieves and robbers:
but the sheep did not hear them.

I am the door: by me if any man
enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out,
and find pasture.

The thief cometh not,
but for to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they
might have life,
and that they might have
it more abundantly.

I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd giveth
his life for the sheep.

But he that is an hireling,
and not the shepherd,
whose own the sheep are not,
seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth
the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf
catcheth them,
and scattereth the sheep.

Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in sheep’s
clothing, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves.

so many surviving

Bring it down to its knees,

not what it thinks it can do.

but, first from the world
I had to detoxify.

The pride living in my heart,
needed to be expelled
so following after its ways
I’d no longer be compelled.

I had to stop imitating,
and approving its behavior
once Jesus became to me
my personal Lord and Savior.

The lusts of the flesh,
and those of the eye
I had to eliminate
so to myself I could die.

All my worldly passions,
needed to be removed
so that by their pleasures
I’d no longer be amused.

now I have a new identity . . .
for I have pledged to Jesus
my devotion and fidelity!

Deep waters,
life-giving streams
sin flooded souls . . .
Jesus wants to redeem!

Isaiah 57:20

But the wicked are like the
troubled sea, when it cannot rest,
whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

James 5:20

Let him know, that he which
converteth the sinner from
the error of his way shall
save a soul from death,
and shall hide a
multitude of sins.

Why I am Hopeful ~

When others ask,
about the hope inside me
I tell them it’s from . . .
believing in what I can’t see.

They look at me puzzled,
til to them I explain . . .
how Jesus on my soul
left an invisible bloodstain.

I confess how He became,
my Lord and Savior
how His love for me is full
of mercy, grace and favor.

I tell them from my sins,
once I turned and repented
how Jesus’ very own Spirit
to me was presented.

And now He guides me,
each and every day
helping me to remain
on the narrow way.

My hope is set on,
the day in heaven I will be
and that is why I say . . .
I believe in what I can’t see!

1 Peter 3:15

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:

Transforming Lives ~

He transforms lives,
a good work He’s doing
all because you are . . .
worth His pursuing.

He takes the wounded,
heals the grief and pain
He relieves the hurt
erases its scar and stain.

He captures the troubled,
changes their hearts
then love and peace
into them He imparts.

He removes the bitter,
in the sour old soul
He mends the mind
til it’s well and whole.

He takes the enraged,
makes them gleeful
He humbles them
to be for Him useful.

Transforming lives,
is His daily business
for Jesus is into . . .
healing and forgiveness!

Philippians 2:13

For it is God which worketh
in you both to will and
to do of his good pleasure.
