as we prepare
while we are waiting
even when we doubt...
we must be in the vineyard,
in the fields, on the street,
sharing the Good News,
being Jesus’ hands and feet...

being ready...
means planting, watering,
preparing the good soil...

of human hearts
not sitting at home
with our open bibles...
we are to seek
to increase God’s harvest,
to increase God’s joy,
in heaven above...

The rain is coming
The judgment, the King,
coming on the clouds
to cleanse the earth...

God saves the one lost sheep,
celebrate for those who come home
like each prodigal son
before He returns

Be prepared, be ready,
for we do not know
the hour, the moment....
Only God knows...

God will bring us into the throne room – v3

God will gather us in, to heaven,
reaping us from this earth, this world,
God will bring us into the throne room
with Christ standing by our side…

God, our Father, of each prodigal child,
runs out to us, sends His Son, His Spirit,
to reach, to raise us from the mortal coil
God calls to us out on the road…

God, by grace, has washed us clean,
with the blood of our risen Lord Jesus,
God will bring us into His presence,
our loving Father will welcome us home…

the eager Father

The eager #Father
watching the horizon
longing for each of us
to come, to follow,
to come back home.

The #loving Father
loving each #Prodigal
calling to each of us
to come, to follow,
to come back home.

break the hold of Satan – v2

Break the hold of Satan

the demons within him;

Release him of the bonds

of the world, the flesh.

You cannot have him Devil

your minions feeble;

You have already been defeated,

he has been washed by Lord Jesus.

Lord intervene right now

speak to his restless spirit;

Change his heart Lord

redeem him completely.

You cannot have him Satan

your actions will prove feeble;

You have already been defeated,

he has been washed by Lord Jesus.

Water the seed within him

the kernel of the Holy Spirit;

Awaken his restless heart

May he come back to You, Jesus.

He sat down beside me

I was broken, hurting,

I cried out to God;

The bubble was burst

the truth of the lie exposed.

He sat down beside me

in my shame, my grief;

He offered me comfort

a place of healing, of rest.

I was broken, hurting,

I cried out to God;

You opened Your arms to me

in Your house, oh God.

you answered my prayer

a thread connected

to love, remembrance,

to a gift offered;

you answered my prayer

for guidance, direction

you harkened back

to a moment of service,

offering me mercy

in your answer, oh God.

a thread connected

coming full circle

to love offered to her;

you answered my prayer -

remain patient, faithful.
