treasure here – v2

We value the flesh, we are human,
gathering up praise, our treasure,
from man, fearing rejection,
false idols of pride, of control,
selfish instincts replacing the Father,
holding onto control, no surrender,
treasure here, not in heaven above…
 
We must slay our idols, our false gods,
We must turn from the flesh, the world,
praise, our treasure here on earth.
We must seek holiness, our purpose
in the true God who created;
We must find wholeness
in the love of God…

Who I am in Christ – v2

Who I am in Christ,
in the eyes of my Savior,
in the mind of our Father God,
This is what defines me
not my sin, my struggle,
my failures, my journey,
my human brokenness…
 
My life is not my failures,
things I have said or done,
not my sin, my disobedience,
my running away,
God has made me
His beloved child
I have a new life in Christ…

be faithful today

don’t worry about tomorrow
farther into the future
focus on these steps
be faithful today…
 
God is merciful, sovereign,
Christ’s Spirit was with us
the troubles of today
should be our only focus…
 
lean into the tasks
life choices, decisions,
trust God in the present,
be faithful today…

pray in dependence – v2

pray in dependence, connected,
within the vine, the body,
seek first to praise Him
God who gives us life…
 
pray first my brothers, sisters,
all of us children of God,
pray first, always,
bring your life to God…
 
pray in dependence, beholden,
needing God’s protection,
His provision, His hand
upon us in every step…
 
pray first my brothers, sisters,
for we are all children of God,
pray to our Father,
in heaven above…

bring your cares, your burdens,
to the throne of Grace,
to the feet of Jesus,
be honest with God,
with your prayers, in life…
 
seek God first, always,
as you are, broken,
be real, authentic,
come openly, honestly,

strive to be transparent,
where God is all-knowing,
approach the throne of salvation,
even as you are broken,
be honest with God...

peace in confessing – v2


We find peace in confessing,
laying down our burdens,
in coming before Almighty God,
humbly, in prayer…
 
We find peace in leaving
our burdens, our worries,
every stumbling block we carry,
at the feet of the risen Christ…
 
We find peace in prayer,
praying without ceasing,
praying first, always,
submitting our petitions to God…
 
We find peace in leaving,
our worries before Christ Jesus,
He will give us peace in our spirit,
if we trust and believe…

worry is a poison, a cancer – v2

worry is a poison, a cancer,
in our walk, in this life,
stress wicks joy, happiness,
from our days, our steps…
 
we must bring our cares, our worries,
our struggles and our burdens,
we must leave them all,
at the feet of Christ Jesus…
 
worry is a poison, a cancer,
stealing our joy, our strength,
whispers of the Devil, to defeat us,
to take our eyes off God…
 
we must bring our worries,
our fears, our doubts,
all the burdens we carry
and lay them at the feet of Christ…

peace in confessing

we find peace in confessing,
in laying down our burdens,
in coming before Almighty God,
humbly, in prayer…
 
we find peace in leaving
our burdens, our worries,
every stumbling block we carry,
at the feet of the risen Christ…
 
we find peace in prayer,
praying without ceasing,
praying first, always,
submitting our petitions to God…
 
we find peace in leaving,
our worries to Christ Jesus,
He will gift us peace in our spirit,
if we trust and believe…

worry is a poison, a cancer

worry is a poison, a cancer,
stress wicks joy, happiness,
in our walk, in this life,
we must bring our cares, our worries,
our struggles and our burdens,
we must leave them all,
at the feet of Christ…
 
worry is a poison, a cancer,
stealing our joy, our strength,
whispers of the Devil, to defeat us,
to take our eyes off God,
we must bring our worries,
all the burdens we carry
and lay them at the feet of Christ…

I bring my cares

I bring my cares, my burdens,
I lay my worries
at the feet of Christ…
 
I am so weak,
my Father God in heaven,
oh, Spirit, calm my trembling feet…
 
Give me peace, Lord,
for I am broken,
I long to be a vessel
of Your boundless love…
 
I am so weak,
but You are the Almighty,
I lay all my worries
before Your throne…
