I have been on the wrong path

Come up beside me, Lord,
lay Your hand upon me,
You know my struggles, Lord,
how I need You to heal me…
 
I have been on the wrong path,
though You gift me in each season,
You have given me the talents I need
for each step on my journey…
 
Walk with me, oh God,
let me be yoked with You,
lead me where I should go,
to live into my calling…
 
I have been on the wrong path,
complacent in the familiar,
I have not boldly gone where
You yourself would lead me…

God knows my pain

God knows my pain
every aspect of my struggle
God knows the harms against me
God knows my scar tissue…
 
God knows my pain
deep hurt that haunts me
God wants me to let go and
Give them to Him completely…
 
God knows my pain
but He wants to heal me fully
God reaches out His hand
through the person of Christ Jesus…
 
God knows my pain
He wants me to give it to Him
God alone can heal me
of the deep hurt within me…

Christ died to save me

Knowing my sin completely
Christ descended from heaven,
Christ died to save me
climbing my cross instead…
 
I do not earn salvation
Christ suffered God’s wrath for me,
I bow humbly before Him
my risen Savior and Lord…
 
Only through Him do I have salvation,
will I not have to suffer death,
only through the blood of Jesus
can I stand before Almighty God…

Christ took God’s Wrath

Christ took God’s Wrath
every sin I have committed
Christ lay down His life
and paid the debt for my sin…
 
Christ took God’s Wrath
and made a way for me,
a debt I could never repay,
Christ bought my forgiveness…
 
Christ took God’s Wrath
in a singular act of submission
Christ bore the cross for me
so I could stand before the Father…

God has always loved me

Before I existed, before Creation,
God has always loved me,
knowing every step of my life,
God is all omniscient, faithful,
God himself is love…
 
God has always loved me,
He chose to create me,
God took the clay of my flesh
God made a person of me,
God set me on my path…

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 – v2

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,
as I wake into this morning,
Thank You for this new day,
You have gifted me today...
 
Amen

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...
