Pour Your Wisdom in me – v2

My clay is cracked and broken,

but I am a vessel willing,
open to be used by You, Lord,
for Your Kingdom, for Your purpose
the path You have for me…
 
Pour Your Wisdom in me,
may I become wise in my living,
cast out all my fears, my doubts,
steel me in my trials, my struggles,
let me do Your Work…
 
For You are right beside me,
just as You have promised,
You strengthen me on my walk,
give me faith to follow You,
on the path of my life…

Why do we hold onto fear – v2

Why do we freeze ourselves, our lives
why do we live lives of caution, of struggle,
of hesitation, not grabbing hold of life,
Lord, why do we hold onto fear?
 
Fear is so self-defeating, a prison,
a dark presence over our living, our future,
why do we listen to the words of the Enemy,
that we are unworthy, we are not good enough?
 
Why do we live truncated lives, frozen,
forestalling our joy, our really living,
we must remember, we must believe,
God’s promise to always be with us…
 
We are given life, a life of abundance,
but we hold onto fear, our millstone,
sapping our joy, our true living,
oh, Lord, why do we hold onto fear?

for God is with us on this road…

God will strengthen you;
God is with you in your trials,

Do not hesitate, don’t be frozen,
God is with you in every step.

#Fear not - 2

Fear not, do not waver,
be strong and courageous;
Trust in God, in His promise,
to never leave or forsake you.
 
God is with you
God will strengthen you;
God is with you in your trials
in the valley, on the mountaintop.

invade my #heart, my #soul

shake me, stir me,
crack me wide open;
create an opening, a path;
find a way into my spirit
pour me out, empty me.
 
pierce my shell
my reserve, my clay,
my desire for control;
may Your Love flood me,
may your Spirit invade my body;
oh Lord, fill my soul.
 
invade my heart, my soul,
my empty earthen vessel
like the flames on Pentecost;
find rest, an eternal home,
deep within me, oh loving God.
 
oh God, my Savior,
wash me clean, where I am broken,
restore me. make me whole;
drench my inner self
flood me, cleanse me;
oh Lord, fill my soul.

God is with us – v2

There is power in God’s presence

to shake off the shackles

to set our spirits free;

there is victory in Jesus

God is with us

leading us, guiding;

our hope in in God’s presence

walking by our side
