God repaid us in Love – v2

Not what we deserve,
for we are broken and sinful,
fallen mortal creatures,
of mud, of the flesh…
 
God repaid us in Love,
with the sacrifice of Jesus,
sending us salvation,
through His only Son...
 
We deserved the lash,
the mocking, the cross,
but God took all our shame
and repaid us in Love…

surrender and trust – v2

give up your control,
your plan for your life,
for each moment,
today, right now…
 
surrender and trust,
give your minutes to God,
He alone is faithful, truly,
Creator of heaven and earth…
 
cleave to the Savior,
to the Spirit abiding
listen to His message,
in everything you do…
 
God alone is faithful,
His word alone is true,
follow the path He has written,
take up your cross and go…

give God your To Do list – v2

 
step back from your agenda,
your plans for today, discarded,
open your heart to Wisdom,
to divine appointments, purpose,
to the calling of God…
 
lay down your planner,
your preconceived notions,
what you plan to do today,
pray for the Spirit’s guidance,
give God your To Do list…
 
cleave to the Almighty,
your calling, your purpose,
God’s plan for your life,
follow the path He has written,
take up your cross and go…

every plant not planted – v2

every plant not planted,
by God in our garden,
every lie sown by the Enemy,
by the spirit of darkness
will be destroyed,
will be rooted up,
the tares will be burned,
in the fires of God’s righteousness…
 
God will do the pruning, the gleaning,
every lie will be torn out,
by its roots, fully,
all that will remain
is God’s truth breathed to us,
all the lies will be burned
in the crucible, the fire
all that will remain
is the love of God…

we believe the lie – v2

we read holy scripture,
we ponder words God gave us,
we gather in worship together,
but we are lacking in faith…
 
we forget the truth,
we listened to Satan,
we believed the lies,
every word that was spoken…
 
we must reclaim,
the truth God breathed
each of us unique, a priesthood,
each of us beloved of God…
 
we forget the truth,
but God’s love is right before us,
we must cleave to our Savior,
to the risen Jesus Christ…
 
we must reclaim,
the promise of holy scripture,
we must believe the truth,
that God is always faithful…
