We must live life in this present – v2

We must live life in this present, this now,
walking the steps right before us,
we must strive ever forward,
we must never look back…
 
Our past may inform us on our journey,
but we cannot change history, what was,
we must move forward in this present,
ever forward, with every step in life…
 
We must live life in this present,
the days and minutes before us,
we must focus on each day, now,
finding joy in each moment…

Meaning in Love – v2

Our identity, clarity, focus,
beyond our human condition,
meaning in Love, in witness,
in grace, in forgiveness,
in living awakened, ablaze,
infused with power, with purpose,
with the light of God’s love…
 
Love at our center, in faith,
informing our living, our being,
spirits alive, urgently serving
in living with purpose, our calling,
dwelling in the living water,
in the truth of God’s love…

The Star has arrived – v2

The actors are all ready, poised,
the supporting cast, the understudies,
pacing, standing in the flies,
sneaking a peek at the audience,
ready for her entrance, to take the stage…
 
The curtain has been pulled back, ready,
the Star has arrived, vibrant, shining,
fulfilling the ancient promise,
commanding the daytime,
until night takes the stage…

Every good and perfect gift – v2

Every good and perfect gift,
everything we have, life itself,
comes from the Father, the Creator
of heaven and earth, our Savior,
God’s Spirit living within us…
 
We are of the dust, the dirt,
clay like the animals, all flesh,
we come from nothing, dust,
and to dust we shall return
at the end of our days…
 
But we have life, life in abundance,
days of opportunities, of possibilities,
because of the love, the provision,
the grace of our Father, our Brother,
gifts from our Creator, our God…
 
God gives us life, for this time, this season,
to live into our calling, our purpose,
for God, for His kingdom, to lift,
our neighbors, all those who God loves,
all of His children on earth….

We must embrace the morning – v2

We must embrace the morning,
we must seize the new day,
overflowing with possibilities,
opportunities if we see them,
each a precious gift from God…
 
We must embrace the morning,
we must climb out of our ruts,
inertia, complacency, our fear,
the old rhythms that bind us,
that hold us in this dust…
 
We must embrace the morning,
we must approach each moment,
in thanksgiving, in worship, in praise,
for new possibilities dawning,
our hope in this new day…

Thank You for this new day, Lord,
for the gift of this morning, today,
for my breath, to be alive with You,
Thank You for the rest You gave me,
at the end of yesterday...
 
Thank You for the opportunities,
What lies before me, my choices,
the joy that awaits me this morning,
Thank you for walking with me today,
beside me with my every breath...
 
Lead me, Lord, guide me,
oh Spirit, hear this prayer,

Thank You for this new day,
You have gifted me today...

We must Believe – 2 – v2

We must Believe, in our spirits,
that God can Heal us,
We must have Faith
of even a Mustard Seed…
 
We must Walk in our calling,
by Faith each morning,
We must rise in Love,
to face the new day…
 
We must live out our dreams,
our Calling, our Purpose,
We must bow before God,
in humble, heartfelt Prayer…
 
We must Believe, in our spirits,
that we can move Mountains,
We must know God is with us,
every step of each day…

Faith as small as a mustard seed – v2

Like a grain of sand, so small,
and yet so powerful, truly,
Faith as small as a mustard seed,
can move mountains, can change,
the world, our future, our hope in God…
 
Faith as small as a mustard seed,
tiny in our palms, but alive, moving,
changing history, hope for a brighter future,
living into our calling, our purpose,
We will move mountains for God…
 
Like a single star in the heavens,
a candle burning across a dark room,
seemingly so small, so distant,
but alive in power, alight, in Faith,
even if we cannot perceive it…
 
Our Faith is as urgent, as real,
as a brush fire blazing, alive,
an ember growing, moving,
if we will kindle it, using that fire,
for God’s purposes in our lives…

Because of our Faith – v2

Because of our Faith,
we can see, we have vision,
because of our faith,
mountains will move,
even a mustard seed,
our faith so tiny,
because of our faith,
Miracles arise…
 
Because of our Faith,
no matter how small,
we are children, heirs,
with our Savior, our Lord,
because of our faith,
the waters parted,
the lame walked again,
and the blind will see…
 
Because of our Faith,
miracles happen,
nothing is impossible,
if we have faith in God,
in our risen Lord and Savior,
if we believe, if we listen,
to the Spirit indwelling within,
if we rise, if we step out in faith…
