Because I am Loved ~
Because I am loved,
I am humble . . .
under my cares
I don’t crumble.
Because I am humble,
I am set free
from the devil
I am able to flee.
Because I am free,
I am forgiven
to holy living
I am driven.
Because I am forgiven,
I am saved
to the world’s ways
I’m no longer a slave.
Because I am saved,
I am strong
no more desire
I have to do wrong.
Because I was loved,
by Jesus first . . .
after righteousness
I hunger and thirst!
~~~~~~~~
Humble yourselves therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that he
may exalt you in due time:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
1 John 4:19
We love him,
because he first loved us.

Let The Water Flow ~
Let the Water flow,
let it gush, let it spew
so it may bring Lord
more thirsty souls to You.
Let the Spirit burst forth,
let it flare, let it erupt
so it may save Lord
the depraved and corrupt.
Let the Truth spill out,
let it ooze, let it seep
so it may harness Lord
lost and wayward sheep.
Let the Light flood,
let it drench, let it surge
so that in Your grace Lord
sinful hearts can purge.
Let the Living Water flow,
let it gush, let it release
so that in You Lord . . .
all can find eternal peace!
~~~~~~
In the last day, that great day
of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him
come unto me, and drink.
He that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit,
which they that believe on him
should receive: for the Holy Ghost
was not yet given; because that
Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Fill Me Up Lord ~
Fill me up Lord,
till I overflow
with Your love
keep my heart aglow.
Fill me up Lord,
till I burst inside
with Your power
help me to abide.
Fill me up Lord,
till I bust all out
with Your peace
rid me of my doubt.
Fill me up Lord,
till I gush and spew
with Your grace
restore and renew.
Fill me up Lord,
till I over-spill . . .
with Your love
let me have my fill!

and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.”

I AM The Bread of Life ~
Jesus is the Bread of Life,
He’s the only one to satisfy
our every spiritual need
He assures us He’ll supply.
That gnawing in our souls,
the hunger and the thirst
He will fulfill them all
when we seek Him first.
Jesus is the Bread of Life,
He promises to deliver
all our spiritual desires
when to Him we surrender.
His life and His death,
bought all our worldly strife
now by faith, through grace
we have everlasting life.
Jesus is the Bread of Life,
He is all our soul’s need
when we follow Him . . .
our heart’s He will feed!
“And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me shall
never hunger; and he that
believeth on me
shall never thirst.”

My Daily Nourishment ~
Lord, give unto me,
my daily bread
satisfy my hunger
let me be Spirit lead.
Renew my mind,
keep worry at bay
transform my heart
upon each new day.
Give unto me,
all the faith I need
quench my thirst
as Your Word I read.
Provide me shelter,
a place to find rest
let not this sparrow
fall from Your nest.
Lord, nourish my soul,
clothe me in righteousness
cover me daily
with Your graciousness!
~~~~~~~~
“Therefore I say unto you,
Take no thought for your life,
what ye shall eat, or what ye
shall drink; nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on.
Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment?

Hungering and Thirsting ~
Hungering and thirsting,
after God’s righteousness
are the soul’s trembling with
an awe-fearing mindfulness.
Filled with true penitence,
the hungry soul now feeds
on how only God can fulfill
all of their wants and needs.
They long to know,
everything that they can
about how God has for them
a righteous-living plan.
The thirsty soul yearns,
for the Waters of life
for it knows no other way
to deal with sin’s strife.
They embrace the Truth,
the Life and the Way
the soul’s that do thirst
are the ones God can sway.
Hungering and thirsting,
after Divine holiness
are soul’s who desire . . .
to live a life of godliness!
~~~~~~~~~
“Blessed are they
which do hunger and thirst
after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.”

Slow Me Down, Lord ~
Slow me down Lord,
help me to take the time
to see You’re more important
than this life of mine.
Slow me down Lord,
sometimes I move too fast
I get so distracted to even notice
that it was You, I have passed.
Slow me down Lord,
help me to stay close to You
let me see You’re more worthy
than anything I have to do.
Slow me down Lord,
it seems I’m always on the run
and so often Your voice
I just put off and shun.
Slow me down Lord,
help me to put You first . . .
help me to see if I don’t my soul
will always hunger and thirst!

do mind the things of the flesh;
but they that are after the Spirit
the things of the Spirit.”

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"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

~ What Can Man Do? ~
I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
