I wish none harm – v2

I know my sin,
My sin is ever before me,
my need for forgiveness,
for what I have done, my sin,
to hurt others and God…
 
I seek forgiveness,
I confess my transgressions,
to be washed in Christ’s blood
for I am broken and sinful
caught in my flesh…
 
I wish none harm,
No one through my history,
for sin committed against me,
I pray they would be forgiven
as God forgives me…
 
We each are broken, fallen,
We are mortal, children of Adam,
trapped in our flesh, our sin,
I release my anger, judgment,
unto Almighty God…

Forgive them, Lord

Forgive them, Lord,
Heal them, fully,
Bring them back to You,

to Your saving grace in Christ…
 
I do not want wrath for them,

Forgive everyone who has harmed me
I give each one of them to You,
Forgive them with the same mercy

We must #forgive

to enjoy the fruit of peace
to walk in the Kingdom
we must forgive fully
as Christ has forgiven us…
 
We must let go of anger,
We must repent, confess,
We must release our fingers
our hands around their necks…
 
our life in abundance
within the arms of Christ
is truly possible only
if we forgive like Jesus did…
 
We must forgive them fully
leaving judgment to God
We must walk humbly, righteous,
with our neighbors and our God…
 
only in forgiving fully,
will heaven fill our hearts
the bitterness of the flesh
our hope in Jesus Christ…
 
We must leave our anger,
our resentments in the dust,
We must walk humbly,
with our neighbors and our God…

Name Your Sins

Seek the path of God
conform your steps
turn from the flesh
trust God with the truth…
 
Name your sins, your truth,
every way you have been disobedient,
wick them of their power
to control your life…
 
Be open and transparent,
leave nothing out
for God knows already
and Christ chose the cross…

give time to be thankful – v2

slow your steps, linger,
give time to be thankful
grateful on your journey
praising God for each blessing,
breath, for each new day…

take time to linger
to be present, grateful,
to cherish each blessing
to acknowledge God’s presence,
as close to you as breath…

give time to be thankful
feeling joy in your spirit,
don’t rush but sojourn
knowing God is beside you,
with your every breath…

Help me to remember – v2

Oh Lord, I come to You, broken,
on my knees, in adoration,
I praise You in the Pit,
on the Mountaintop…
 
Lord, oh how I need You,
each hour, each minute,
how richly You bless me,
starting with each breath…
 
Oh Lord, draw near me, closer,
pour your blessings upon me,
I am broken, but I am a vessel,
to share Your endless love…
 
Lord, oh how I need You,
each hour, each minute,
how richly You bless me,
beside me with each step…

Every good gift is from You, Lord

Every good gift I have been given,
my life, my way, my breath,
every good gift is from You, Lord,
You place bounty on my path...
 
How I long to be mindful,
reverent in my thoughts, my prayers,
taking time to thank, to praise You,
for every good gift in this life...
 
Every good gift I have been given,
more than I can ever ask for,
if I am honest, truthful, mindful,
is from Your hand, oh God...
 
How I seek to praise You,
to be mindful of Your good gifts,
to offer prayers to You, my Savior,
starting with my life, for breath itself...
