Build up your neighbor – v2

Build up your neighbor

with a word, a touch;

our paths are made easier

when someone care enough.

Life is sometimes a burden

something to struggle through;

build up your neighbor

in what you say and do.

Lord, help me to discern

Strengthen my resolve

Help me to be faithful

Teach me, lead me,

to grow our spirit

God uses pain, trials,

to grow our spirit

to open our hearts

so we might show compassion

to our neighbors, on our walk,

to those who need our love

God is with us

in our struggles, our trials

showing us the way of mercy

we stand with our neighbors

in their time of need

following God’s example

rising from our knees.

one message - 2

thousands of years

many authors

the books of the bible

held together

by one thread, love

one message, love

from the beginning

the first and the

last word

the one word, love.

about our end times

the words of the past

ancient texts

words of prophecy

about our end times

the prophecy unfinished

the Judgment still coming

words of guidance

written for us

the promise unfulfilled

Christ yet to come.

we wait in hope;

we study the word.

Able

We cannot, we are but clay

just dust of His earth.

We falter, we sin, we go astray.

We cannot come before God

caked heavy with sin.

Christ is able; He is righteous.

He is our advocate before the judge,

our Father, Almighty God.

Christ made a way for us

through the gate of the cross.

We are made able, worthy

to come before God.

stop hiding from God

God knows our nakedness

our sins, our rebellion

God wants relationship

that we would know Him

God calls to us

to come back to Him

God woos us

to walk with Him

conforming our steps

to Jesus, to our Savior

so stop hiding from Him

God knows our sin, our rebellion

but God has put us here on purpose

God wants relationship

God wants us with Him.

not my old paths

seeking to walk beside You

to follow Your voice

not my old paths

the way of the world

seeking the way You laid

the path set before me

answering Your call

Your claim on my life
