Reveal Your Son to me,
oh God, my Creator,
Show me the living Christ
Seated beside You, my Father…
 
How blessed I am,
saved by grace, blessed,
become a child of God,
a brother to my Brother…
 
Reveal Christ to me,
oh, indwelling Spirit,
clear the scales from my eyes,
my Redeemer, my Savior…

More than 50 years in the desert – v2

Blind though I believed,
clinging to my flesh, my sin,
the pain of shame I carried,
more than 50 years in the desert
when God offers me rest…
 
Lost as Paul was, blind to faith,
given new sight, new vision,
washed in the waters,
putting my old life to death,
so I can walk with Christ…
 
Help me Lord to put on You,
my Savior, the Christ, Jesus,
Your fabric, You armor,
help me to bury my sin
forever in the grave…
 
Lift me from the waters,
Let me walk with You on water,
I submit my control,
from my sin, my shame,
help me not to take it again…

remove the scales

God, peel these logs
from my eyes
that I might see
the world clearly,
Teach me to love
with a heart that is open…
 
Release my pain, my vision,
so that I might walk in freedom,
hoping for the best
in every situation,
trusting where I feared
before this very moment…

#poetry #God #Christ #Spirit

I don’t live for Christ

I don’t live for Christ
with my whole heart, fully,
I hold onto pieces of my life
to live by the flesh…
 
I am striving forward,
but I apply fetters on my life,
chains that keep me from God,
from the way of the Servant…
 
I must truly repent,
I must turn my life over
trusting God with my seconds
that I might fulfill my calling…
 
I must reject the way of the flesh,
holding onto my self-importance,
I must put on the mantle of Christ,
worshiping God alone, only…

Many saw the risen Christ
and proclaimed the resurrection,
the power of love to rise,
over sin and death…
 
Many saw the risen Christ,
and witnessed to Him,
just as was foretold, prophesied,
as written in ancient scripture…
 
Many saw the risen Christ,
and we are their descendants,
later-born disciples of Jesus,
believing in their witness…

I proclaim the Good News,
my life has been transformed,
I have seen the risen Jesus,
I witness to the Christ…
 
He was crucified and buried,
Jesus rose from the grave,
disciples and the others saw Him,
outside the empty tomb…
 
He appeared to me,
I was blinded by a great light,
Jesus redeemed my suffering,
I witness to the Christ…

I was struck blind, repenting,
Turning from my path, my life,
I saw the risen Christ,
In power, in blinding light…
 
Christ redeemed me from the pit,
Setting me on a new path,
I repented of my sin against Him,
He raised me from the dead…

By Her Hands – v2

By her hands serving

a lifetime of giving

offering herself

in her knitting

her service to others

Giving, compassion

her gifts, her talents

love, of a servant,

hope in the works

of her hands
