sighs too deep for words – v2 #prayer #God #Spirit

deep down, low within us
a rumble, vibrations,
tremors, moving
prayers beyond us
what we could say,
what we could speak…
 
in sighs too deep for words,
God, the Spirit interceding
going to God for us
a prayer from our bodies
deep within our souls
groaning unto God
 
when there are no words
when words will not come
the Spirit praying for us
our petitions unto God
brought to His altar, His throne,
laid at God’s feet.

In Prayer, Discernment – v2

In the quiet of my spirit,
bowing my head, silently,
no words audible, spoken,
praying to You in the quiet
in the stillness of my soul…
 
Finding You there, in the stillness,
waiting ever for me, patiently,
in the quiet presence
away from the day to day…
 
Speaking when I am open,
to Your presence, my worship,
in my prayer, discernment,
receptive to Your word, oh God,
Speak, Lord, I am listening…

people who are free – v3

We are not condemned,
prisoners, judged,
the sanction upon us,
through the blood of Christ…

We are free, chosen,
selected by God,
people who are free;
but we wander as captives,
not sharing our joy,
not believing the Word.
 
Christ set us free,
we must accept this by faith,
the beginning, the end
how we respond,
looking to those before us.
 
We must witness, we must share,
the message we are given,
the freedom flowing,
as living waters of life.
 
We must share our joy,
to all who will listen,
even to those
who have hearts,
that are hardened,
like water chiseling stone
 
We will be changed, in time,
continuing, ever, flowing,
sharing the one message,
pouring out salvation.

Not yet a sheep

Not yet a sheep,
a part of this Body,
outside the sheepfold,
standing near the gate.
 
An inopportune moment,
not yet coming together,
a branch seeking life,
God’s living vine.
