Woven ~

He took two threads of love,
wove me in the womb
covered me with a tapestry
that was made upon His loom.

He did the fine needlework,
of all the fibers of my frame
He skillfully sewed us together
so our image would be the same.

He embroidered in my soul,
the desire to know His will
then interlaced us together
with the Holy Spirit’s seal.

He stitched so intricately,
all the details inside of me
so that the fabric of His life
the unwoven eye could see.

He held the needle in His hand,
and used love as His thread . . .
He formed me in the womb
so to Him I’d be forever led!

Psalm 139:15

“My substance was not hid from thee,
when I was made in secret,
and curiously wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth.”

A Holy Spirit Revival ~

Lord, we need a revival,
a head bobbing, banner raising
hand clapping, foot stomping
Holy Spirit filled revival.

Lord we need an awakening,
a gospel preaching, heart turning
sin repenting, life changing
Holy Spirit filled awakening.

Lord we need a quickening,
a daily living, life-long giving
fruit bearing, love sharing
Holy Spirit filled quickening.

Lord, we need a renewal,
a world reaching, grace saving
thirst quenching, mind drenching
Holy Spirit filled renewal.

Lord, we need a revival,
a roof raising, earthshaking
God-fearing, soul saving
Holy Spirit filled revival!

I Feel The Power ~

I feel the power,
the Holy Spirit’s rush
I feel the fire . . .
of joy’s eternal blush.

I feel the electricity,
stirring me up inside
I feel the energy
only He can provide.

I feel the power,
of His holy might
I feel the boldness
of His intense light.

I feel His strength,
emerging out of me
I feel the shaking
of Him setting me free.

I feel the power,
the Holy Spirit’s fire
it’s burning me up
with an embolden desire!

and they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost, and

Good Morning Quote ~01.02.23~


Where The Holy Spirit Dwells ~

Sometimes down inside,
I feel this warmth within . . .
coming from a place so deep
I can’t explain just wherein.

There’s a sense of peace,
an inspired calmness
it fills my heart with joy
till it flows with gladness.

As I take it all in,
I feel a serene quietness
flooding my soul with . . .
a reassuring stillness.

I wish I could harness it,
so to always feel this way
I wish I could release it
every second of the day.

Sometimes way down deep,
a feeling rises up and swells
I know it comes from the place . . .
where the Holy Spirit dwells!

~~~

Ephesians 1:13

“In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation:
in whom also after that ye believed,

Righteous Living ~

Righteous living,
needn’t be a struggle
it doesn’t have to be
something you juggle.

For when we allow,
the Spirit to guide us
He’ll help us become . . .
virtuous and just.

Righteous living,
takes a contrite heart
for it to be given
a fresh new start.

For when we let,
the Holy Spirit in
He will keep us
from turning to sin.

Righteous living,
on your own you can’t do
unless you have . . .
His Spirit living in you!

~~~~~

2 Corinthians 5:21 

For he hath made him
to be sin for us,
who knew no sin;
that we might be made

God in him.

Psalm 54:4


A Fruitful Life ~

A life fruitful,
is a life trusting
one the Holy Spirit
is always leading.

It’s a journey,
lasting a lifespan
for God to finish
what He began.

A life fruitful,
is a life faithful
one that is to God
eternally grateful.

It’s an excursion,
into the living Word
an exercise of doing
all you have heard.

A life fruitful,
is a life of growing
one that takes . . .
Jesus knowing!

~~~~~~~~

Philippians 1:6

Being confident of this very thing,

being fruitful in every good
work, and increasing in the

My Soul’s Delight ~

My soul delights in those,
who trust and wait on Me
it gives My heart pleasure
when blind eyes start to see.

They are My faithful servants,
to whom I will uphold
the elect I have chosen
to gather into My fold.

I have poured out My Spirit,
on those who are the meek
for on Me their sights are set
and My will they do seek.

They call me their Lord,
I call them My sheep
they know to follow Me
for their souls I will keep.

Into righteousness I call them,
in My glory they’ll rise and sing
behold all things come to pass
things new to them I will bring!

~~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 1:4-5

According as he hath chosen
us in him before the foundation
of the world, that we should be
holy and without blame
before him in love:

Having predestinated us unto
the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good
pleasure of his will,

Psalm 100:3

Know ye that the Lord he is God:
it is he that hath made us, and not
we ourselves; we are his people,
and the sheep of his pasture.

Talk to Me Lord, Talk To Me ~

Talk to me Lord, talk to me,
for my world’s shaking apart
and the winds of adversity
are blowing thru my heart.

Talk to me Lord and tell me,
the way You’d have me to go
speak to me thru Your Spirit
so Your path I may know.

Talk to me Lord, talk to me,
make with me a connection
for I am counting on You
to give me Your direction.

Talk to me Lord and lead me,
as I go about my way
tell me to go right or left
I need Your guidance today.

Talk to me Lord, talk to me,
let not pride keep us apart
be that still small voice . . .
speaking to my shaken heart!

Isaiah 30:21

And thine ears shall hear

Mind Renewal ~

Mind renewal,
a daily benefit
a promise of
the Holy Spirit.

A refreshing,
of love and hope
to help each day
to abide and cope.

Mind renewal,
a minute away
to help us get
through the day.

A proving,
of what is good
to do and act
as Christians should.

Mind renewal,
from the contemptible
to what is . . .
to God acceptable!

~~~~~~

Ephesians 4.23

And be renewed in
the spirit of your mind;

Romans 12:2

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.

Striving For Perfection ~

I strive for perfection,
and many times I fail . . .
but, whenever I do
I get back on the trail.

For what I know is good,
is worth my going for
and when I need strength
I ask Jesus to give me more.

I strain to find God’s will,
but, it I don’t always see
but, I am not deterred
to find His plan for me.

For what is acceptable,
is worth my pursuing
and when I need a push
I ask Jesus for renewing.

I strive for perfection,
I know I can achieve it
for, I know its attainable
through the Holy Spirit!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 12:2

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.

Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which
is in heaven is perfect.

Hope Doesn’t Disappoint ~

Hope doesn’t disappoint,
it won’t let you down
hope will bring a smile
where once was a frown.

Hope will not fail you,
it won’t fizzle out
hope will set you free
from fear and doubt.

Hope doesn’t disappoint,
it won’t ever run dry
hope is God’s love
that for you will never die.

Hope will not decrease,
it will never lose its worth
hope is the belief
in a new heaven and earth.

Hope is God’s Spirit
into us that He poured
hope will not disappoint . . .
when Jesus is your Lord!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 5:5

And hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out His
love into our hearts through the
Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

What My Heart Feels ~

Sometimes Lord,
I don’t know what to say
when before You I come
to entreat and to pray.

My words can’t gather,
what my heart feels
to provide to You
my pleas and appeals.

Sometimes Lord,
I can’t seem to convey
what is leaving me
with feelings of dismay.

My thoughts can’t collect,
what my mind decries
and to You my petitions
I cannot comprise.

Sometimes Lord,
all I can do is stutter
and let Your Spirit . . .
my prayer to You utter!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 8:26

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth
our infirmities: for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which
cannot be uttered.

Reflecting God’s Love ~

Reflecting God’s love,
is mirroring His Sons
as we show our own
to each and everyone.

It’s letting His Spirit,
come alive in you
so His love can be seen
in all that we do.

Expressing God’s love,
is echoing Jesus’ too
by showing others
how He abides in you.

It’s being kind to all,
merciful and gracious
by always being polite
warm and courteous.

Reflecting God’s love,
we all need to do
for it will reproduce
Jesus image in you!

Beloved, if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.

All Things Are Possible With God ~

All things are possible,
when in God you trust
all things are feasible
when you see He is just.

All things have meaning,
when in God you believe
all things have a purpose
when His mercy you receive.

All things are a blessing,
when God you obey
all things come together
when to Him you pray.

All things are achievable,
when in God you rely
all things are workable
when faith you apply.

All things are attainable,
when God is your hope
all things are brighter
when He helps you to cope.

All things work together,
when your life to Jesus you give
all things are beautiful . . .
when He’s the reason you live!

~~~~~~~~~~

Luke 1:37

“For with God nothing
shall be impossible.”

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things
work together for good to
them that love God, to them
who are the called according
to his purpose.

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:

God Supplies The Grace ~

God supplies the grace,
for all that we do . . .
it flows right from Him
into me and you.

He delivers His strength,
whenever we are weak
He gives extra power
when more of it we seek.

God grants us mercy,
each day it’s renewable
so we may learn to be
on Him dependable.

He builds up our faith,
regenerates our hope
He provides the means
each day for us to cope.

God supplies the grace,
we give Him back our trust
as we let His Spirit . . .
work in and through us!

~~~~~~~~

2 Corinthians 12:9

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.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me.

glory of the Lord, are changed
into the same image from glory
to glory, even as by the Spirit
of the Lord

he also did predestinate to
be conformed to the image of his Son,
that he might be the firstborn
among many brethren.

To Win The Faithful Race ~

The faithful race,
isn’t an easy course
it’s rough and bumpy
and at times coarse.

For us to stay on track,
takes a lot of grit . . .
and we need the power
of the Holy Spirit.

The faithful race,
isn’t an simple route
it’s trying and difficult
full of fear and doubt.

For we know there’ll be,
plenty of resistance
and without His strength
we can’t go the distance.

To win the faithful race,
we need to have endurance
and holding fast to Jesus
is our only assurance!

~~~~~~~~

1 Corinthians 9:24

Know ye not that they which
run in a race run all, but one

A Quite Confidence ~

When on the outside,
there is but turbulence
on the inside . . .
I’ve a quiet confidence.

For I do not trust,
all the things I hear
I only trust the things
God whispers in my ear.

When on the outside,
there is but stress
on the inside
I have perfect rest.

For I do not believe,
everything I see
I only believe in what
Jesus reveals to me.

When on the outside,
there is but confusion
I’m so thankful to have . . .
the Holy Spirit’s infusion!

~~~~~~~~

Proverbs 3:26

For the Lord shall be
thy confidence,
and shall keep thy foot
from being taken.

and rest shall ye be saved;
in quietness and in confidence
shall be your strength:
and ye would not.

Not Ashamed ~

I am not ashamed,
of the hope I hold
for it has rendered
my faith strong and bold.

For I’ve experienced,
test and trials galore
and grew in patience
amidst their uproar.

I am not ashamed,
of God’s love for me
for I am convinced
in what I cannot see.

For I’ve been through,
countless storms in life
and found the patience
to endure their strife.

I am not ashamed,
of placing in God my hope
for His Spirit gives to me . . .
the patience I need to cope!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 5:3-5

And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience;
and experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Ghost which is given unto us.
