Keep God’s Commands – v2

Keep God’s commands
God’s words on your lips
let your light shine
in your walk, this life…
 
Keep God’s commands, His Law,
so your heart does not condemn you,
so you can walk upright, courageous,
before Almighty God….
 
Keep God’s commands,
ask for forgiveness, for grace,
stand on Christ’s promise,
run your own race…

Our hearts condemn us – v2

We falter, we are broken, shattered,
we sin against God, our fellow man,
we are humble, we are unworthy,
of the gift of God’s grace,
but that is the point…
 
Our hearts condemn us,
we recoil from our sin, our shame,
but Christ has redeemed us, freed,
from the verdict, the stain of our sin,
He has made us to rise with Him…
 
We too can mount up, we can rise,
on wings like eagles, we can climb,
we can soar because we are washed,
we are redeemed, we are made clean,
by the precious blood of Christ…

The Spirit speaks – v2

The Spirit speaks,
within, through us,
if we listen, if we are obedient,
if we strive to follow God’s word…
 
The Spirit speaks,
within this troubled world,
our hearts a vessel, empty,
to be filled, to be poured…
 
The Spirit speaks,
truth, light to save the nations,
the joy we carry within us,
breath to guide our steps…

Love in the little things

Love in the little things,
In actions, intention,
Love with what we do,
Not merely in flowery words…
 
Love with your whole heart,
Thinking first of others,
Step out in faith, do the work,
Show them that you love them…
 
Love is a verb, an action,
A choice to be the servant,
Serve others in your path,
Step out of your comfort…

I am a child of God – v2


at my core, my identity -
who I truly am within -
unending, unchanging
something I cling to;
I am a child of God
no matter what may come
Jesus claimed me as His own

through my trials
my struggles in this life
I have one thing to hold onto
in the storms, the desert,
my identity, unchanging;
I am a child of God
a brother to my King
