talk to Jesus – v4

talk to Jesus

pray your heart[

opened fully,

to be filled with love.

enter ready

open to Him;

talk to Jesus,

pray your heart.

give your heart, open

be empty, ready;

pray to Jesus,

pray your heart.

seek Him always,

our brother, our Savior;

turn to Jesus

away from the world.

self-made for destruction – v6

control, dominion

of our lives, of creation,

self-made for destruction

eternal death.

life in submission

in giving our lives to God

nothing of control

of our own destiny.

life in Christ alone

falling to our knees,

submitting to God

as much as we believe.

all is gift – v4

there is nothing we created

all is gift

nothing of self

all was given from God

there is nothing else.

every moment we breathe in

every breath of our lives

are all from God

there is nothing we created.

abiding in Jesus – v2

abiding in Jesus,

together, with one heart

living in worship

all the days of our lives

cleaving to love

to Love descending

Christ here on the earth

ascending in love

in love to raise us

love to bind us

all love renewed

contemplating Christ – v2

praying vision, sight,

contemplating Christ

seeing more clearly

the image of God

revealed more fully

in the love of Christ

giving fully, a sacrifice,

upon the cross

showing us God

God’s love for us

grace to heal us

in the plan of God

revealed within us

in the Spirit inside us

guiding our steps

upon the way

walking with our Savior

upon this earth

They were found in the book

the Word of God with us

walking here with us

the living Messiah

They were shepherds to His people

self-made for destruction – v5

control, dominion

over our lives, our choices,

the lie of consumption

we are self-made for destruction

eternal death, damnation

an eternity in hell.

only life in submission

in giving our lives over

to God, to Christ;

nothing of control

of our own destiny.

we have life in Christ alone

in falling to our knees

we are self-made for destruction

life in suffering, in walking,

all is gift – v2

all is gift

nothing of self

nothing we made

nothing of the flesh

all from God

nothing else

every moment

every breath

every good thing

all from God

nothing else.

self-made for destruction – v2

control, dominion

of our lives, our choices

the lie of consumption

self-made for destruction

eternity in hell

life in submission

in giving our lives over

to God, to Christ

nothing of control

of our own destiny

life in Christ alone

falling to our knees

self-made for destruction

life in suffering

in submission to God.
