The Heart of My Soul ~
Lord help me to keep,
on my heart a watchful eye
so that it may not for You
shrivel up and dry.
Let me be meticulous,
as to what I let into it
so it is always opened
to the wisdom of Your spirit.
Lord, help me to guard,
the heart of my soul
so that it’ll always be
in Your righteous control.
Let me be scrupulous,
as to what I hold dear
so that it may be filled
with holy awe and fear.
Lord, help me to keep,
my heart to Your keeping
so that my life will be . . .
to You always pleasing!

with all diligence;

Offend Me Lord ~
Offend me Lord,
with Your Word
let me be convicted
by the truth heard.
Insult me Lord,
with Your commands
so with false teachers
I’ll not shake hands.
Offend me Lord,
let me feel the sting
that Your reproof
in my life will bring.
Shock me Lord,
let my ears hear
no sinner in heaven
will You let near.
Outrage me Lord,
go ahead and offend
so with the world . . .
I’ll not be a friend!

disciples murmured at it,

Make Straight My Path Lord ~
Make straight my path Lord,
let me not stray
in the Life and the Truth
lead me to the Way.
Make firm my steps Lord,
in You, make them secure
strengthen them for me
with a faith to endure.
Make steady my feet Lord,
keep them from tripping
into the things of the world
keep my soul from slipping.
Make my heart right Lord,
on Your way let me dwell
so I may be kept . . .
from the fires of hell.
Make straight my path Lord,
let me be Christ-seeking
for I put my hope and trust
in You, for safekeeping!
~~~~~~~
Lead me, O Lord,
in thy righteousness
because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight
before my face.”

With All My Heart ~
Lord, may I cling to You,
with all of my heart
may nothing ever cause
the two of us to part.
May I obey the words,
You once gently spoke
to love others as myself
even if I am provoked.
May I walk in the steps,
of righteous, holy living
so I may never have
any doubt or misgivings.
May I keep following,
all of Your commands
may I serve only You
as Your Word demands.
May I use the gifts,
that to me were given
so I can spread the Word
that all can be forgiven.
Lord, may I serve You,
with all my heart and soul
may over both of them
You have complete control!
~~~~~~~~~
“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.”

Our Heart’s Desire ~
If we want God to give,
the desires of our heart
then from His own heart
we cannot be far apart.
For what may be in ours,
might not be in His own
as ours wants and needs
are often selfish prone.
If we want God to grant,
us our heart’s longings
then after worldly things
we mush stop yearning.
For the lusts of the flesh,
our sinful fancies
will only bring to us
eternal penalties.
If we want God to give,
the desires of our heart
then to His ways we must . . .
delight in and never part!
~~~~~~~~
“Delight thyself also in the Lord:
and he shall give thee
the desires of thine heart.

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
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ 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

I am a child of day

I am God's clay
I am God's future
I am God's hope
I am alive to God
I am destined
I am called~~~~~~~~~~~

I am set free from sin
I am joined to the Lord
I am alive by grace
I am justified

I am sanctified
I am reconciled
I am transformed
I am renewed
I am made perfect
I am dead to sin~~~~~~~~~~~
