A High, Holy Place ~

A humble heart,
a contrite one too
are the one’s Lord
who will dwell with you.

For those who by grace,
have been made new
eternally will dwell
in heaven with you.

A spirit that is meek,
shall with You reside
in a high, holy place
right by Your side.

For, those who do trust,
You for all things . . .
are those who hunkered
down under You wings.

A humble, contrite heart,
a spirit meek and compliant
are those who while on earth
to Your ways weren’t defiant!

~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 57:15

For thus saith the high and lofty One
that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy;
I dwell in the high and holy place,
with him also that is of a contrite
and humble spirit, to revive the spirit
of the humble, and to revive the heart
of the contrite ones.

What Jesus Can Do For You ~

He makes the blind eye see,
the lame to up and walk
He gives life to the dead
the mute He makes to talk.

He turns water into wine,
sends manna from above
gives peace and hope to all
though unconditional love.

He stills the storms at sea,
calms the roaring in the wave
He brings strength to the weak
the meek He makes brave.

He casts out demons,
make them run and flee
He loosens yokes that bind
to set the captives free.

Jesus did all of this,
and so, so much more . . .
think what He can do for you
if you’d open to Him the Door!

John 10:9

I am the door:

Give Me Just A Glimpse ~

Lord, give me just a glimpse,
of how heaven’s going to be
let me peek into the room
You have reserved for me.

Let me see the streets,
paved with perfect peace
let me gaze upon the path
where grief will finally cease.

Lord, give me just a glimpse,
into the land of no more fear
let me glance into the Light
that’ll dry each and every tear.

Let me see the pathway,
where You will walk with me
let me have a quick look
where sorrow I’ll not see.

Lord, give me just a glimpse,
part the clouds so I can see
my family and my friends
who are waiting there for me.

Let me see Your mansion,
the glory of Your throne . . .
Lord, give me just a glimpse
into my eternal home!

God’s Promises Galore ~

Weaved throughout the whole Bible,

assurances guaranteed . . .
for us to read and explore.

There are promises of hope,
for today and the future
each one an eternal pledge
to give our faith a booster.

There are promises of new life,
where not one should perish
for every soul to Him . . .
is one He’ll always cherish.

There is the promise of comfort,
the wiping away of our tears
the beginning of eternal peace
where we will have no more fears.

There are promises to supply us,
with our earthly wants and needs
to deliver us from the suffering
of our sinful acts and deeds.

Weaved throughout the Bible,
are promises to cling to . . .
for the good work God has started
He guarantees to see it through!

us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should
come to repentance.”

Being confident of this very thing,
that he which hath begun a good

Dry Seasons ~

Dry seasons . . .
times of spiritual drought
times of agonizing doubt

times to reflect from within
times to confess known sin

times God’s voice we can’t hear
times of significant fear

times where we learn and grow
times for God’s mercy to show

times of weakness not strength
times we keep God at arm’s length

times to meditate and pray
times to hear what He’s to say

times of desperation and lack
times to turn to God back

Dry seasons . . .
times of spiritual growing
times for more of God knowing!

Under His Wing’s Shadow ~

Under the shadow of Your wings,
where no sun or rain can blind
where Thy loving-kindness waits
to fill hearts with peace of mind.

Where no tempest breaks through,
where no storm or wind can meet
where Thy grace inspires calm
to give the weary heart retreat.

Under the shadow of Your wings,
where no fear or doubt can soar
where Thy steadfast love exists
for the fainthearted to explore.

Where no tragedy can breach,
where no pain or grief can be
where Thy goodness is prepared
to bring broken hearts to Thee.

Under the shadow of Your wings,
where no star or moon can fade
where Thy mercies reach forever
to strengthen hearts that are afraid.

Oh, precious is Your loving kindness,
where our trust can mount and rise
where unfailing love gives assurance
Your wing’s shadow protects our cries!

Whenever I am afraid,

For, I don’t want my fears,

I draw the threads of my youth,
and weave them into my past
ever so thankful to You . . .
that those days did not last.

I pull on the threads of faith,
how they unraveled apart
until the day I asked You
to come and change my heart.

I tug at the threads of doubt,
that were interlocked in my life
and see that they were woven
with the fibers of my strife.

I twist the threads of trust,
that were braided all through
and saw the things I did
only by the strength of You.

Lord, I can see silver threads,
 turning into golden ones . . .
and how You spun us together
with the grace of Your Son!

I know I’m not yet perfect,

how to live like Jesus

I’ve made many choices,

Into the Wilderness ~

Into the wilderness,
we sometimes have to go
when we start thinking . . .
God’s blessings no longer flow.

We find we are still hungry,
our thirst can’t be satisfied
so we wander off in the world
seeking what it will provide.

We complain and we moan,
about our wanting state . . .
as His provisions don’t come
for us at a quick enough rate.

We cannot see the future,
for today looks too bleak
and so for our daily bread
from God we no longer seek.

Then one day the Lord sends,
His manna from above
to reminded us once again
of His merciful love.

Into the wilderness,
we all sometimes have to go
but, God only keeps us there . . .
so our faith in Him will grow!

When we feel over burdened,
Jesus will carry our strife
when we feel the sting of death
He’ll bring us eternal life.

When we feel like giving up,
Jesus will stretch out His hand
when we feel faint and weak
He’ll help us to rise and stand.

When we feel there is no hope,
Jesus will bring to us His love
when we feel our heart break
He’ll send mercy from above.

When we are in need of rest,
Jesus will give it to us
for His yoke is easy . . .
when we give Him our trust!

From Ashes to Beauty ~

One day all of our sorrows,
will be a thought of no more
when from ashes into beauty
we enter through heaven’s door.

The brokenhearted will see,
their painful grief bound up
their mourning will be silenced
by the oil of joy in His cup.

He will raise the soul penitent,
from their fallen, sinful state
the poor in spirit He’ll elevate
all the way to heaven’s gate.

He’ll set the remorseful free,
from the chains of their sin
as the yoke of guilt and shame
no longer chokes from within.

All those who have made Jesus,
the Lord and Master of their life
will not be punished or condemned
nor be damned for their past strife.

He’ll comfort all who’ve mourned,
as to Him their praises sing . . .
and their garments will be draped
with the glory that He will bring!

Faith is what we hope in,

it’s when we trust Jesus

it’s confident and it’s sure
all His promises He’ll fulfill.

It’s firm and unquestioning,
it’s strong and never weak
it’s alive and it dwells
in the hearts that are meek.

It’s believing that God can,
it’s knowing that He will
it’s trusting in His timing
that keeps the heart still.

Faith is what we hope in,
it’s beyond what the eye sees
it’s the trust we have in Jesus
that takes us to our knees!

with today that you wrest.

He wants you to give Him,
all that is of concern
for His yoke is easy
just as is His burden.

Be of good courage,
rejoice and be joyful
for the One you trust
is loving and faithful

~~~~~~

Psalms 31:24

Be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen
your heart, all ye that
hope in the Lord.

Don’t You Lose Heart ~

Don’t you lose heart,
do not give up today
ask God to bring you
renewal straight away.

Don’t you lose focus,
keep Jesus in your sight
do not unplug from
the glow of His light.

Don’t you lose trust,
do not stop believing
soon answered prayers
you will start receiving.

Don’t you lose hope,
keep your mind directed
on being in Jesus image
every day perfected.

Don’t you lose heart,
do not faint away . . .
ask God to be renewed
each and every day!

~~~~~~

2 Corinthians 4:16

”For which cause we faint not;
but though our outward man
perish, yet the inward man is
renewed day by day.”
