With All of My Heart and Soul ~
Lord may I love You,
forever to You, may I cleave
may my heart and soul
from Your ways never leave.
May my heart obey You,
diligently may I conform
may my love for You
never grow lukewarm.
May I always trust You,
and the power of Your might
may I draw all of my strength
from the greatness of Your light.
May I remain faithful,
may the joy of my salvation
cause me to be full of hope
filled with peaceful jubilation.
Lord, with all my heart and soul,
I love You more each day . . .
may You continue to guide me
to walk in all your ways!

“But take diligent heed
to do the commandment and the law,
which Moses the servant of the Lord
charged you, to love the Lord
your God, and to walk in all his
ways, and to keep his commandments,
and to cleave unto him, and to
serve him with all your heart
and with all your soul.”

Guard My Feet Lord ~
Guard my feet Lord,
keep them from stumbling
help them to be strong
keep them from wobbling.
Guide my feet Lord,
keep them going straight
help them to proceed
through the narrow gate.
Protect my steps Lord,
keep them from tripping
make them sturdy
keep them from slipping.
Lead my feet Lord,
secure my faith walk
help them to march
to the words I talk.
Guard my feet Lord,
let them not deviate
to the world’s ways
let them not acclimate!

“He will keep the feet of his saints,
and the wicked shall be silent

shall no man prevail.”

Seeking God’s Face ~
Lord, today I’m seeking,
Your loving face
so that Your kindness
my heart can embrace.
I’m going to look for,
the light of my salvation
until it becomes
my minds only fixation.
I’m searching beyond,
the darkness that I see
so trust and confidence
can become a part of me.
I am going to focus in,
on the power You instill
so my mind can learn
to be quiet and ever still.
Lord, today I’m seeking,
Your loving protection
so You can work in me
Your peaceful perfection!

Why My Heart Sings ~
My heart shall not tremble,
though I have my fear . . .
my heart shall not shake
for my God, is always near.
My spirit calls on His name,
searches for His face
my spirit takes its cover
in the arms of grace.
My soul shall find rest,
as it learns how to soar
my soul shall be blessed
with His mercy evermore.
I shall trust in the Lord,
His strength I will seek
I shall trust in His power
to help when I’m weak.
To eternity I will abide,
under His mighty wings
forever with Him I’ll dwell
tis . . why my heart sings!

Daily Renewal ~
Each day I’m being renewed,
I can feel it deep in my soul
every day I’m finding power
to press on towards the goal.
Each day I’m being changed,
I can feel it deep in my heart
every day that God gives me
is an amazingย new start.
Each day I’m being transformed,
in my mind everything is new
every day Jesus is showing me
things about Him, I never knew.
Each day I’m being restored,
as I let Jesus work out in me
the mystery andย eternal glory
in the things that I can’t see!
~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 12:2
King James Version
“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.”

Grace Sufficient ~
My grace is sufficient,
I have all you’ll ever need
when your deficiencies
to Me, you willingly cede.
My strength is in you,
just give me your flaws
Iโll take you by the hand
lead you with My laws.
My power is endless,
I can do so many things
if your imperfections
to Me, you readily bring.
I delight in weakness,
find joy in your fragility
I love when you show Me
your sincere humility.
Iโll make you perfect,
just trust and rest in Me
for sufficient is My grace
I have waiting for thee!
~~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 12:9
King James Version
“And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength
is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I
rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ
may rest upon me.”

The Cost of Endurance ~
The Bible says to run the race,
with endurance in our steps
to jump over any obstacles
to pass by the risky objects.
This race is not an easy one,
there’s a cost for enduring
most of us can’t stay the course
because sin can be so alluring.
But, we are called to this race,
to be patient and persistent
and in our daily run with faith
we must be pressure resistant.
Before we step onto the track,
we must warm-up our endurance
then work-out any resistance
so we’ll run with God’s assurance.
There will be many roadblocks,
each day we’ll face head on
but, if we trust in God’s power
to them we won’t be drawn.
In this race we’ll have to give up,
things that bring us pleasure
but, when we set them aside
we’ll add to our eternal treasure.
The faithful race is long and hard,
no one said it was trouble-free
but, if we keep our eyes on the goal
we’ll run it filled with joy and glee!
~~~~~~~~
1 Corinthians 9:24-25
King James Version
“Know ye not that they
which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth
for the mastery is temperate
in all things. Now they do it
to obtain a corruptible crown;
but we an incorruptible.”
