We must Believe - 2

We must Believe,
God can Heal us,
We must have Faith
of even a Mustard Seed…

We must Walk,
by Faith each morning,
We must rise in Love,
to face the new day…

We must live out,
our Calling, our Purpose,
We must bow before God,
in humble, heartfelt Prayer…

We must Believe,
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…

Do you Believe

Do you Believe,
that God can Heal you,
Do you have Faith
of a Mustard Seed…

Do you Walk,

Do you rise in Love,

Do you bow before God,
in heartfelt Prayer…

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…

An Act of Will – v2

An act of will, a choice,
to rise with the morning,
a choice to move forward,
even in struggle, in doubt,
in times of trial, or pain…

An Act of will, a choice,
listening to our Creator,
for messages from God,
forcing ourselves to rise
out of bed, to seize the day…

An act of will, a choice,
seeing good in each morning
listening to words of scripture,
to God’s grace, His provision
to the promises of God…

An act of will, a choice,
to see the good, to see hope,
in the promises of God,
possibilities even when
we don't fully understand…

An act of will, a choice,
to manifest a new mindset,
hope overcoming fear, doubts,
abundance, joy in each morning,
the dawning of each new day...

An Act of Will

An act of will, a choice,
to rise with the morning,
a choice to move forward,
even in despair, in struggle,
in times of trial, or pain…

An act of will, a choice,
listening to our Creator,
for messages from God,
forcing ourselves to rise
out of bed, to seize the day…

An act of will, a choice,
seeing good in the morning
listening to words of scripture,
to God’s grace, His provision
the promises of God…

An act of will, a choice,
to see the good, to see hope,
the promises of God,
possibilities even when
we don't totally feel it…

An act of will, a choice,
to manifest a change in mindset,
hope overcoming fear,
abundance, joy in each
morning, each new day...

Every good and perfect gift

Every good and perfect gift,
everything we have, life itself,
comes from the Father, the Creator
of heaven and earth, our Savior,
the Spirit living within us…

We are of the dust, the dirt,
clay like the animals, all flesh,
we come from nothing,
and to dust we will return
at the end of our days…

But we have life, life in abundance,
days of opportunities, 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, those who God loves,
all of His children on earth….

We must embrace the morning

We must embrace the morning,
We must seize the new day,
overflowing with possibilities,
opportunities if we see them,
precious gifts from God…

We must embrace the morning,
We must climb out of our ruts,
inertia, complacency, fear,
the rhythms that bind us,
that hold us in the dust…

We must embrace the morning,
We must approach each moment,
in thanksgiving, in praise,
for possibilities dawning,
in our hope in today…
