giving God to others – v2

pouring out of us
out of love
giving love, sharing
giving God to others

a joy overwhelming
making us new, flowing,
a life of joy, of service
offered up to You.

we have hope

we have hope
we are not alone
God gives us strength
to carry on

You give us strength
courage to face
the trials in this life
whatever may come

we have hope
we trust in You
whatever may happen
You will see us through

the emptiness of comparison

We hear the cries
I want, I want, I need;
but they ring hollow.
We fall to our knees
There is a void, a vacuum,
the emptiness of comparison
keeping up with the Joneses
when they are bound for destruction
at the end of this walk.

Barrels on the curb

the things we accumulated
boxed up and carried
gathering dust
in the back of the garage
after seasons, months,
maybe longer still
added to the barrels on the curb
sent to the dump
these things are so empty
merely passing fancies
flotsam and jetsam of this life
when we only need Christ.

God alone is our hope
our one desire
God alone fills the emptiness
the void in our lives
God is the one constant
when all else crumbles
God is trustworthy
God will never leave us.

we forget the important

we forget the important
the things that matter,
“be still and know I am God”,
I have it covered.
Be still, quiet
within your person
feel God with you
on your faith journey
God is beside us
on the walk
with us in joys
the trials of this life.

Opening Jesus – v2

picked up from the shelf

the bible, the Word
opening Jesus
the Word alive
One book forever
for all time
the Word, Christ,
there at the beginning
through the Word life
opening Jesus
the Word alive

opening the life of Jesus

all truly one story
the history of the ages
all the story of Jesus
the Bible, the sacred writing
a master work, an opus,
by many hands, but by the One

an epic, a heroic story
the Word of the living God
come to life in the pages
opening the life of Jesus
the Bible, many books
yet one story, Jesus

reading Jesus for the first time
opening Jesus, again,
opening the pages of his life
the pages of our future too
the Word alive, the Spirit
burning bright within us

one book forever, for all time
with God, in God
the Word was God
there at the beginning
through the Word, life
the light of the world

opening Jesus, this book
the Bible, the sacred writing
reading Jesus, the pages,
the story of his life
the Word alive, with us
abiding with us within

Stand
do not waver

Stand
righteous
do not falter
standing in the trials
the battles to come
Stand
ready
at peace within
holding Christ
the Word alive
Stand
holding
the sword of the Spirit
the Word, Christ
to cut down the demons
Stand
do not waver

no chinks in our armor

be purposeful, be deliberate
put on the full armor of God
don’t miss a piece
the enemy is coming
prepare for battle
no chink in our armor
no place uncovered
wrapped in God’s protection
Christ’s love
the Spirit to guide us
on our walk
put on the armor
leave no part uncovered
prepare for battle
for the enemy comes.
