our way would be straighter
our path would be easier
if we would just listen
if we walked each day
in the way God commands,
if we follow the cross...
 
if we would just listen
to the Word God left us
if we would change
if we would follow
the way of Jesus,
the way of the cross...
 
if we would just listen
to the Spirit speaking to us
if we would cleave to every word
breathed by our loving God...
Our way would be easier
if we trusted in God
if we trusted in Him alone...

Falling at Your #Throne #Poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #faith #prayer #submission #worship #child #children #love #praise #pray #praying #prayer

I saw him moving so quickly
running from his pew, his seat,
on legs so tiny, so small,
Falling before at Your altar,
Falling at Your throne, oh Lord...
not looking for attention
but convicted, Father,
Singing Your praises,
The glory of Your name...
 
He fell to his knees,
in submission, modeled,
by his elders, his family...
He came forward running,
with reckless abandon, falling,
knowing You alone are worthy
of our worship and praise,
Falling to his knees in worship,
Offering You his heart, his day...

Don’t substitute your judgement – v2

Choosing to defy the king, our God,
not going where He leads us,
don’t substitute your judgement,
when God speaks to you clearly,
walk the path He has written…
 
Stay on the path God has written,
out of the love He has for us,
knowing how broken each of us are,
and yet loving us completely,
even while we yet sin…
 
Listen to the Spirit, God’s wisdom,
don’t turn to the right, the left,
focus on God’s purpose, His calling
speaking to your spirit, clearly,
for every day of your life…

a daily journey of surrender – v2

A turning, a changing,
A transforming, a silence,
A daily journey of surrender,
of seeking God’s presence,
of giving God control…
 
An instant, a moment,
A renewing of our spirit,
Acquiring a servant’s heart,
of love, of compassion,
of giving God control…
 
A daily journey of surrender,
A submitting to God’s will,
A conforming our steps to God’s plan,
of walking slowly with Him,
of giving God control…

giving to the chisel – v4

We turn to the Master
our marble compliant,
giving to the chisel,
the hammer, to His hands,
the work of the Sculptor;
Our hardened clay compliant, returning,
climbing back onto the Potter’s wheel.
 
We submit to the Potter,
to the one true Creator,
to His touch of love, of mercy,
His hand of teaching, correction,
trusting His urgings, His calling;
We give to the hammer, the chisel,
we choose to submit, to yield.
 
We come to the forge,
the hammer, the anvil,
giving our bodies, our lives over
to the Creator, the Smithy,
offering to bend, to change,
to conform to His teaching;
We follow Christ’s way
in submission to God.

Follow the example of #Jesus #Christ

Live into your calling,
your purpose from God;
Become light bearers, world changers,
God’s missionaries in life.
 
Follow the example of Jesus Christ
live in His perfect submission;
Go where God calls you, where you are led,
serve where you are planted.
 
Live out your gifts, your talents,
live into your unique calling;
Trust in the path God has written,
be light bearers, world changers.

are we ready to follow – v3

are we ready to follow,

to leave all to follow,

will we accept Jesus

will He become the center

of our whole lives;

will we open our arms

to the call of Jesus

will we lose our past

our belongings, our comfort,

to follow Him alone?

Abraham’s Faith – v2

Abraham’s faith

not his actions

impossible, certain;

believing in God

in this righteousness

Questioning, maybe

but believing, faithful;

wrestling with God

in that truly human

but taking those steps

going where God led

to an unknown country

each step of the journey;

trusting, believing

in God for the rest
