Inspiring the world
Lord
Let your beauty
Be upon us
May our garments
Be studded and beautified
With precious stones
May we have heavenly dreams
And visions
As we wait upon you
Great God Jehovah
Let Heaven come upon us
And let great grace overshadow us
You crept into my heart
Like a thief
A lonely woman
Taking care of two children
Committed to Christ
And His gospel
You came in an unfamiliar way
Like a perfect brother,
Best friend and father.
You loved my children
Like your own,
You carried my emotional burdens.
I had lived alone
For ten years
Since the death of my husband .
Gradually, I became drawn to you,
Because you
Took away my loneliness
And became my pillar and support
However,
You were married and
Knew that as a fervent
Believer,
We would never be lovers.
You seemed fine with it
But I had unwittingly fallen
Into your trap.
One cold winter night
You came as usual,
To help with my sick child.
All I wanted to do was say
A quick thank you,
And it happened
We spent the night together
As lovers.
I cried all day
And all week after that,
Because I despised myself
For what I had participated in.
I subsequently blocked you
Out of my life,
And recommitted by life
To Christ and His word.
Thank you my Lord
For giving me strength
To overcome sin.
You are the husband of widows
And father of the fatherless.
I will wait upon you
For your own blessing.
If you bless me with a husband fine,
If you don’t,
I will not bow
To the idol
Of sin.
I walked upon the sea
I never could imagine
That one day
I would walk upon the sea
And live above fear and doubt
I walked upon the sea
When I saw your perfect love
And greatness
I became calm
And rested in you
I walked upon the sea
When the winds and waves
Of trials and affliction
Threatened to drown me
They said to me,
” We will make your life so miserable
That you will wish you were never born
Denounce Jesus
Because we will never let you
Preach the gospel.”
I shrugged and replied
” I don’t care.”
I walked upon the sea
When I was given grace
To fly above trials
And circumstances
And Trust in
Him, my savior
Lord may we
Walk upon the sea
Everyday
In quiet assurance and peace
Knowing that
You will never leave us or forsake us
Give us the strength to focus on
Your love and power
Instead of the sea of circumstances and trials
Yes, may we walk upon the seas
Everyday
You conquered all
In love and power
You defeated death and
Redeemed us
From the bondage of
Sin and death
I worship you
Because of your
Great mercy
The Spirit of the Lord is our ability and strength. He was the one who came upon Jesus and empowered Him. Without Him resting upon us we will be fruitless and weak.
The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. (Isaiah 11:2 NKJV)
We need all the attributes of God and it is only by the Holy Spirit that it can be achieved. If Jesus needed the Spirit of the Lord to rest upon Him in order to complete His mission, then we certainly need Him in order to fulfil destiny.
Grace redeemed us
Grace keeps us
Grace anoints us
Grace purifies us
We cannot live without His grace
Without You
I am lost and helpless
I am lonely
I am sad
Without You
I can do nothing
Favor seems impossible
Fear rules
Mercy is distant
Without you
The world will stop in its axis
The demons rule
Darkness reigns
Jesus
Without you
We can do nothing
And we are nothing
May God help us
When we are weak
When we are sick
When we are frightened
When we are in doubt
When we are lonely
When we are poor
When we are wrongly accused
When the darkness overwhelms us
When trials abound
When we want to give up our faith
May God help us
Lord
We need you
We love you
Without you
We can do nothing
Dwell in our hearts
In the fullness of your glory
Your constant presence
Is all we need
As we walk in faith
And obey you
