We must come broken and humble,
bleeding, self-aware of our sins,
Sure, of our weakness,
of our dependence on God...

God desires our hearts
the core of our being
our lives on His altar,
our Judge, our King...

God cannot heal us
unless we confess we are broken
God wants us to come to Him
with our broken heart...

We are broken and humble,
yet we are yoked with Jesus
We stand redeemed,
saved by grace alone...

God offers us heaven
through the gate of the cross...
Christ suffered and died
a life for all our lives...

We strive forward
sharing the gospel...
We walk with stumbling feet,
unsure of our steps,
growing in belief...
 
We go as we are able,
commissioned to share the gospel...
We go even as we doubt
unsure of the words completely
even in how much we believe,
the strength of our faith...
 
We live in the tension
between sharing and doubting,
but we are calling...
We go as we are led
to do the Father’s work...

one life for each life
for sins we commit
a sacrifice before heaven
healing our flesh...
 
the blood of atonement
a sacrifice to God
healing our breach
our separation from God...
 
one life for each life
by grace, Christ’s gift,
unmerited favor
healing our broken flesh...

Jesus calls me blessed
in my pain, my struggle,
Jesus loves me there
with amazing grace...
 
I am blessed in my struggle,
as I wrestle in my spirit
my calling, my purpose
the battle in my flesh...
 
Jesus calls me blessed
when I am humble, transparent,
Jesus calls to me
to go where I am lead...
 
I am blessed in my struggle,
in seeking, in letting go,
in striving to know Him
My Savior and Lord...

sitting in the temple
aware of the voice from heaven
feeling the weight, the mantle,
of that ancient verse...
 
sitting after reading -
the words of the prophet -
claiming His identity,
His purpose here on earth...
 
sitting with His neighbors
those who knew Him...
Speaking ancient prophecy
His identity, His name...

Lord, I come to You,
humble and broken...
I know my sentence,
the weight of my sin...
 
Thank You for Christ’s ransom
His sacrifice for my sin...
By God I am saved,
not by something I give,,,
 
Rescue my heart,
conform my steps...
my will Your own

#God calls to my #heart #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #love #grace #faith #pray #prayer #confession #secrets #trust #believe #forgive #forgiveness #change #admit #calling #purpose

broken and humble,
bleeding, self-aware,
Sure, of my weakness
of my dependence on God...
 
God desires my heart
the core of my being
my life on His altar,
My Judge and King...
 
God cannot heal me
Unless I confess I am broken
God wants me to come to Him
with my broken heart...
 
broken and humble,
yet yoked with Jesus
I stand redeemed,
saved by grace alone...
 
God offers me heaven
through the gate of the cross...
Christ suffered and died
His life for my life...

life for a life
for sins we commit
a sacrifice before heaven
healing our flesh...
 
the blood of atonement
a sacrifice to God
healing the breach
our separation from God...
 
life for a life
by grace, a gift,
unmerited favor
healing our flesh...

taking off the world
the way of the flesh
putting on Christ,
conforming our steps...
 
yoked with Him
out in these fields
transformed for a purpose
our calling from God...
 
held while we stumble
within His yoke
rest when we are weary –
in Christ is our peace...

we strive forward
sharing the gospel
we walk with stumbling feet
unsure of our steps
growing in belief...
 
we go as we are able
commissioned to share the gospel
we go even as we doubt
unsure of the words completely
even of our belief
the strength of our faith...
 
we live in the tension
between sharing and doubt
we go as we are lead
to do the Father’s work...

When he saw the wind – v3

Going to Jesus, going to His Master,
When he heard His voice, in the night,
when the Rock walked on the waters,
going, acting on faith.
 
Then he doubted, he stumbled,
When he saw the wind,
when fear caught him,
then Peter began to sink…
 
The Rock walking on the waters,
Until he lost focus, his eyes off Jesus,
when he saw the wind,
when he had doubt…
 
He felt the breeze, the waves,
He listened to the whisper,
to his internal voice, doubting,
Peter began to sink…

When he saw the wind – v2 #Peter #Matthew14

The words of scripture,
describing the moment,
Going to Jesus, going to His Master,
when the rock walking on the waters,
When he saw the wind,
when fear caught him,
When Peter began to sink…
 
When the rock walking on the waters,
Losing His focus, his eyes off Jesus,
When he saw the wind,
when he had doubt,
listening to the whisper,
to his internal voice,
When each of us begin to sink…

The Winds Calling – v4

The Winds calling,
ever blowing, sowing fear, doubt,
pulling under the waves.
 
We need to be bold, to listen,
to focus, only to our God.
 
Our feet would be steady,
there upon the waters, walking,
boldly going, honoring our call.
 
How much we miss in life
when we listen to the Wind.

in seeing Jesus – v4

Thomas may get the bad rap

the nickname “Doubting Thomas”;

but he was fully convicted;

in seeing the risen Christ he proclaimed

out loud, with power, with passion

the resurrection of Jesus the Christ

in seeing Jesus, risen,

Christ raised from the dead

in touching Christ’s hands, His side

Thomas went beyond the others;

He was the first to proclaim

Christ Savior and Lord

How much more important

how much more powerful

is our own witness, our testimony

to the sovereignty of Christ

for we are the ones Christ spoke of

who did not see yet believe
