Restore me, Lord, to You

Heal the deep wounds within me
the ancient curse of the Garden
the attacks of the Enemy,
those who would harm me
and forgive my own iniquity,
every sin, every transgression
my rebellion against Your will…
 
Restore me, Lord, to You,
from my life in the wilderness
seeking other masters
honor in my flesh, my fears,
not walking the path,
the way You have written
Your plan for my life…
 
Save me from Your judgement
Your wrath, Your righteous anger,
set me once again on Your path
through the blood of Jesus
washing me completely,
help me to trust,
to love You alone…

Believing

Believing, trusting
far more than knowing,
moving from the head
to the heart, my spirit,
what I believe about God,
my Creator, my Savior,
my loving risen Lord…
 
Believing, living,
walking forward by faith,
leaning into my struggles,
finding You there, my Lord,
longing to know You fully
wanting to believe,
with all that I am…

God repaid us in Love – v2

Not what we deserve,
for we are broken and sinful,
fallen mortal creatures,
of mud, of the flesh…
 
God repaid us in Love,
with the sacrifice of Jesus,
sending us salvation,
through His only Son...
 
We deserved the lash,
the mocking, the cross,
but God took all our shame
and repaid us in Love…

#Capitalism is not #Christian – v2

The most for our shareholders,
short-term profit at all cost,
standing on our neighbors
not caring for the outcomes
the pain in other places
focused only on the immediate,
on lining our own pockets.
 
Capitalism is not Christian
taking, gathering, profiteering,
creating wealth for its own sake
maximizing for ourselves
silos full, barns overflowing,
standing on our neighbors
the garden polluted, raped
plundered for short-term profit.

grasp all that God has to offer - v2

grasp all that God has to offer - v2


Grasp all that God has to offer

new life, true redemption,

a way forward for us

dropping our chains, our shackles,

all that holds us back.


Grasp all that God has to offer

a new life, a new beginning

everything new each day

within God’s victory

each breath that we take.
