Humble Me More Lord ~

Humble me more Lord,
so You’ll be higher . . .
help me to make You
my heart’s true desire.

Help me to make You,
more important than me
help me to decrease
so more of You I’ll see.

Humble me more Lord,
so You’ll be greater
help me to make You
my ego deflater.

Help me to make You,
the image others see
help me to increase
more of You in me.

Humble me more Lord,
help me to make You
to be the only Light . . .
that shines through!

He must increase,

John 1.15

No Other One ~

I know no other Savior,
no other who would forgive
nor collect in His bottle
the tears I have to give.

I know no other Shepherd,
no other to show the way
nor when I am in the valley
listen to what I have to say.

I know no other Lamb,
no other who peace brings
nor one who can lead me
to those life giving springs.

I know no other Light,
no other shines so clear
nor one when I am afraid
can take away my fear.

I know no other Creator,
no other with the skill
nor one who loves me
like I know He always will.

I know no other God,
no other one has come before
nor one who’ll come after . . .
for my God is forever more!

Like A Dewdrop ~

God’s love is like a dewdrop,
that glistens in the sun
glowing in the warmth
from the light of His Son.

It’s a breath of fresh air,
full of the fragrance of spring
filling up the senses
with the beauty that it brings.

It’s as sturdy as an oak,
as solid as a Rock
firmly holding onto those
who gather as His flock.

It’s a taste of pure heaven,
a piece of pleasure and delight
to savor in the morning hours
and enjoy throughout the night.

It’s as straight as an arrow,
knowing its intended mark
aiming for those who wander
to have a change of heart.

It’s as boundless as the ocean,
an endless mountain stream
flowing with living waters
that has no edge or seam.

God’s love is gentle as a Lamb,
so tender and so calm
for it brings comfort to the soul
just like the soothing of a balm!

~~~~~~~~

2 Corinthians 13:11

“Be of good comfort,
be of one mind, live in peace;
and the God of love and peace
will be with you.”

We Need An Awakening ~

We need an awakening,
from our spiritual sleep
we need a revival . . .
to gather in more sheep.

We need to wake-up,
those dead in sin
so lives for Jesus
we can go and win.

We need an arousing,
of hearts made of stone
so Jesus for their sins
can forgive and atone.

We need a new dawning,
of eyes that are blind
so the Light of Jesus
can heal their mind.

We need an awakening,
a spiritual revival
before Jesus’ . . .
next arrival!

Behold, I come quickly:

Be A Son Beam ~

May the Light of the World,
brighten up your day . . .
may it shine so ever brightly
so others to it you may sway.

May you be a shining beacon,
of hope, love and peace
may the Light of the World
you every day release.

May the Light of  the World,
in your heart always glow
may the joy of your salvation
out of you continually flow.

May you be a Son beam,
of mercy, faith and favor
may the Light of God’s grace
lead others to your Savior.

May the Light of the World,
brighten up your day . . .
may it shine so ever brightly
on the Life, Truth and Way!

Matthew 5:16

“Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
