Romans 12:2

 

Mind Renewal ~

Sometimes with myself,
I get sick and tired . . .
especially since the old man
I thought had expired.

But, he seems to come back,
every now and then . . .
and I have to figure out
how to get rid of him again.

So whenever I find myself,
with the old man in a battle
on the Word I stand my ground
so my faith he can’t rattle.

For, he would love to see me,
once again in his control . . .
but, I refuse to allow him
back into my heart and soul.

Sometimes I have to fight,
the old man off with the new
that’s why I keep the spirit . . .
of my mind daily renewed!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 4:22-23

That ye put off concerning
the former conversation
he old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts;

And be renewed in the spirit
of your mind;

Mind Renewing ~

Mind renewing,
is a daily must
if we’re to grow
our faith and trust.

For with it comes,
a heart cleaning
rightness of spirit
and God leaning.

Mind renewing,
is an exercise
so to the world
we won’t compromise.

For it’s transforming,
temptation discerning
keeping our souls
from in hell burning.

Mind renewing,
is a daily must . . .
for it is how God
leads and guide us!

Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.”

God Never Gets Weary ~

Are you feeling fatigued,
by your weariness
are you exhausted
and feeling listless?

Then wait on the Lord,
your energy He’ll renew
for He never gets tired
of strengthening you.

Do you need recharging,
a shot of endurance
do you need fortitude
some extra assurance?

Then wait on the Lord,
faint He does not
He never gets worn-out
when His power is sought

Are you growing weary,
is your faith getting slack?
Then wait on the Lord . . .
for the strength you lack!

~~~~~

Isaiah 40:30-31

“Even the youths shall faint
and be weary, and the young
men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon
the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with
wings as eagles;
they shall run,
and not be weary;
and they shall walk,
and not faint.”

Just Passing Through ~

This world is not my home,
I’m just passing through
and I must do my best
not to weaken to its view.

Yet, its thrust before me,
whether I like it or not
but, I must not concede
to the lies that are taught.

It seems wherever I go,
I find angry opposition
so I must keep my mind
in total transformation.

Often I get attacked,
for not giving my approval
so every day my mind
needs constant renewal.

This world is not my home,
I’m just passing through
and Lord I know each day
it’s Your will, I need to do!

Romans 12:2

” And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing

Thankful for Spring ~

 Lord thank You,
for Springtime
for the harmony
heard on its chime.

For the renewal,
of the early rain
for the healing
of winter’s pain.

Lord thank You,
for Spring’s flight
for the retreat
of its early light.

For the warmth,
it lazily brings
for the melody
heard on its wings.

Lord thank You,
for Spring’s gift
for giving my face . . .
a needed Son lift!

Digging Down ~

Lord, I’m digging down,
going way deep inside
all my selfish desires
I’m going to put aside.

It’s going to get dirty,
as I clear out the way
but, it must be clean
if I want You to stay.

I’m clearing a path,
by repenting of the sin
and all the wickedness
still hidden deep within.

In my heart of hearts,
way deep in my soul
tis where I want You
to take complete control.

Lord, I’m digging down,
going way down inside
making ready a place
where You can abide!

Cleanse thou me from secret faults.”

A Daily Transformation ~

Lord, this year I want . . .
to spiritually grow
I want the Holy Spirit
in my life to glow.

I want a mind,
that is regenerated
on pure, holy thoughts
I want it concentrated.

I want my words to be,
ones that bring new life
I want them to carry
peace and never strife.

I want my actions,
to ooze with usefulness
I want my every deed
to exude fruitfulness.

I want my attitude,
to be humble and meek
I want to encourage
the lost and the weak.

I want my reactions,
to reflect Your love
I want Your will
to be all I think of.

Lord, this year I want . . .
a daily transformation
I want the Holy Spirit
spurring my motivation!

The Dew of Dawn ~

Each new day is a blessing,
a present from God to unfold
a time to open up our hearts
so His beauty we can behold.

Upon dawns cracking hour,
God calls us to be renewed
with the morning light comes
the refreshing drops of dew.

He gives the blessing of unity,
upon the rising of the sun
sends the gift of His Spirit
along with the love of His Son.

Each new day God gives us,
let’s renew for Him our love
and spread everlasting joy
like His dew drops from above!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 133:3
King James Version

“As the dew of Hermon,
and as the dew that descended
upon the mountains of Zion:
for there the LORD commanded
the blessing, even life for evermore.”

Thirsty ~

Lord, I am thirsty,
I need more of You . . .
for, there’s a spiritual drought
right now I am going through.

Fill me with fresh hope,
take the aridness in my soul away
rain on me Your tender mercy
renew my heart in You today.

Lord, I am thirsty,
my arms are opened wide
protect and defend me
come be my eternal guide.

Make this dry season I’m in,
turn into Your valley green
where Living Waters flow
so on You I may lean.

Lord, I am thirsty,
I need more of You . . .
restore in me my youthful faith
like the refreshing morning dew!

in the beauties of holiness
from the womb of the morning:
thou hast the dew

A Confident New Year ~

A New Year is before me,
I know not what it brings
but I have confidence . . .
God’s in control of all things.

I don’t know what is ahead,
the trials of each new day
but I have confidence . . .
Jesus will show me the way.

I may not fully understand,
what the New Year will hold
but I have confidence . . .
He is fitting me to His mold.

I may have incredible gain,
or suffer enormous loss
but I have confidence . . .
it all leads me to the cross.

A New Year is before me,
I know God’s in control
for I have confidence . . .
His love will renew my soul!
