comfort, peace
We are Your sheep
You are our shepherd,
We rest in Your protection
in Your loving arms, oh God…
 
a singular psalm of David,
of assurance, protection,
We find rest in You
Oh God, our shepherd,
keeping us alive…
 
What a blessing
to have You as our shepherd
sheep of Your flock
safe from the Enemy,
in Your loving arms, oh God…

In the finished work of Christ – v2

In the finished work of Christ,
in ministry, on the cross,
in the resurrection, ascension,
now seat on the throne,
I am forgiven, made righteous,
my salvation is assured…
 
In the finished work of Christ,
His triumph over sin and death,
all my fears put to rest, victors,
I wear a crown of righteousness,
I am richly blessed, gifted,
in Him I have new life…
 
In the finished work of Christ,
the hope for humanity, for life,
raised from the dead, redeemed,
a way through the waters of life,
to stand with Him in heaven,
to praise God forevermore…

restore my soul – v2

oh Lord, my shepherd,
I feel You with me, present,
giving my spirit rest,
sustaining me on the path,
oh lay Your hand upon me,
restore my soul
the spirit within me…
 
give me new life,
reborn within me,
quicken my flesh,
with Pentecost fire,
restore me completely,
set on the path, the way,
that I might serve You…
 
restore my soul,
oh my God, my Savior,
the heart beating within me,
pour out Your love
into this earthen vessel
that I might be poured,
as a word of Your blessing…
 
give me these words,
captured from the ether,
from the whisper of Your Spirit,
so I may share them richly,
to the ends of the earth,
restore me within
heal my broken spirit…

Pour Your Wisdom in me – v2

My clay is cracked and broken,

but I am a vessel willing,
open to be used by You, Lord,
for Your Kingdom, for Your purpose
the path You have for me…
 
Pour Your Wisdom in me,
may I become wise in my living,
cast out all my fears, my doubts,
steel me in my trials, my struggles,
let me do Your Work…
 
For You are right beside me,
just as You have promised,
You strengthen me on my walk,
give me faith to follow You,
on the path of my life…

Why do we hold onto fear – v2

Why do we freeze ourselves, our lives
why do we live lives of caution, of struggle,
of hesitation, not grabbing hold of life,
Lord, why do we hold onto fear?
 
Fear is so self-defeating, a prison,
a dark presence over our living, our future,
why do we listen to the words of the Enemy,
that we are unworthy, we are not good enough?
 
Why do we live truncated lives, frozen,
forestalling our joy, our really living,
we must remember, we must believe,
God’s promise to always be with us…
 
We are given life, a life of abundance,
but we hold onto fear, our millstone,
sapping our joy, our true living,
oh, Lord, why do we hold onto fear?

The Lord is my Shepherd – v2 #Psalm23

I proclaim this blessing, this promise,
The provision of the One true God,
I have nothing to fear,
For the Lord is my Shepherd,
I have all that I need…
 
The Lord gifts me paradise,
The earth and all its wonders,
Life by the still waters,
Walking right beside me,
Peace within my storms…
 
Even though there is darkness,
The Devil and his minions stalking,
Though death waits for us in this life,
I am secure under Your protection,
Within the safety of Your wings…
 
You prepare a wedding feast,
A heavenly banquet, life
In all its abundance for me,
Mocking my attackers, Satan,
All who would do me harm…
 
Oh, how You bless me, how You wash me,
Cleanse with Christ’s blood, with oil,
Soothing my troubled spirit, mercy,
Grace more than I deserve,
Your unmerited favor, oh Lord…
 
Your Mercy, Your Goodness,
Walk with me, stalk me, pursue me,
Strive after me in this life,
Wooing me back to You, oh Lord,
Back to my home, this prodigal,
For You are my Creator, my Savior, my God…

We must hold onto God’s promise

We must hold onto God’s promise,
We must not fear,
We must believe,
We must be courageous…
 
We must not waver,
We must not hide,
We must be strong,
For today is filled with promise…
 
We must hold onto God’s promise,
We must not fear,
We must stand resolute,
We must be courageous…
 
We must lean into
the challenge, our storms,
in our struggles, in our abundance,
For God is with us on the road…
