[Not-Home-Yet]

and Jesus prayed

Jesus always did His Father's will,
He never...ever strayed,
He Obeyed almighty God,
...And Jesus Prayed
Whenever the apostles, needed
strength...or were afraid,
Jesus took them somewhere quite
...and they prayed.
When Mary's brother...lazarus died,
and in the tomb was laid,
Jesus wept...alongside Mary,
...and he prayed.
He prayed..."I thank You Father,
...for hearing me today..."
Lazarus walked out from the tomb
..."cause Jesus prayed.
When Jesus knew His time was near,
...with death...the only way,
He went into the garden
...and He prayed.
His dying words...on Calvary,
"Forgive them God... today,
Because they know not what they do.."
His heart broke...but He prayed!
That day He showed us how to love,
...and how to live...each day,
He taught us full surrender
...and...He taught us how to pray!

Our Father

Our Father...up in heaven,
hallow be Thy precious Name,
Your love...so unconditional,
and every day...the same.

May You rule my life completely,
...and may Your kingdom come,
may I learn complete surrender,
from your humble...holy Son.

May Your will be done by everyone
on earth...and may it be,
as it is done in heaven...where
...all spirit worship...free!

Give me today...my daily bread,
may I meditate...in wonder,
and feed upon your Word,
to satisfy...my hunger.

As I forgive the ones who sin
...against me...on my way,
forgive me Lord...for I have sinned,
against You...every day!

Lead me not temptation's way,
dear Lord...please take my hand,
for evil Lord...deliver me,
and strengthen me to stand.

For Thine...almighty Father,
is the kingdom...without end,
all the power...and the glory,
...for eternity...Amen !

JESUS...


JESUS.....be within my head
and settle...on my mind,
so each and ever thought
I have...will be...
the JESUS kind.

JESUS.....be upon my lips,
...and hold all speech within,
till You are author of each
word...so love flows out
...not sin.

JESUS.....Be within my heart,
fill each corner...with Your love,
Please make it shine...so
clean...so warm...so bright.

Cleanse me from all sinful
pride...and make all bondage go,
set my spirit flying free,
...let LIVING WATER flow.

then bowed...in full surrender,
my life...again I'll bring, and
LEAVE it all...beneath the feet
of Jesus Christ..my King!

Promised Land

God sadly looked to earth and said...to His own
chosen race..."Ill set you free from Egypt,
...lead you to a better place.
God anointed them His chosen one...and taking
Moses' hand...He said,...YOU'LL lead my people,
to my waiting...PROMISED LAND!"
He led them through the wilderness...the wondered
...forty years...with bias...pre-conceived
beliefs...and hearts...awash with fears.
Because of their sin-hardened hearts...God had
to stay their hand...till the young ones...led
by Joshua...went into...THE PROMISED LAND!
the sweetest honey...biggest grapes...and all
around...His love.
But sin took man's weak eye...and soon God
saw one more...His people... in their blindness,
...the chains of bondage bore.
So once again...with tear-filled eyes...He said,
"I'll set you free!"...He sent His own begotten
Son...to die...on Calvary!
what more can God, our Father do?...it seems He's
done it all...with this sacrifice of Precious
Blood...to counteract...THE FALL.
But blindly man still stumbles on each shackled,
...sin-filled day... searching for the secret,
...that will save him...from decay!
He does stop to hear THE VOICE...or feel THE
GENTLE HAND ...that waits to lead His people to,
...His waiting...PROMISED LAND!

The Still Small Voice

I heard the Voice of Jesus,
a voice so gentle...mild, it said,
...I'm in your heart today...don't
miss me...precious child.

I've spoke to you may times...but
you have never heard...you never heard
THE STILL, SMALL VOICE...or
listened...for a word.

I'm calling to you...endlessly,
but inattentive ears..
are filled with worldly din and
noise...your heart is filled
...with fears.

but when you want to hear THE
VOICE of comfort...and will,
just turn around to where I wait,
...and hush, my child...be still.

be still...and let me calm the storm,
and soothe your furrowed brow...
just listen...hear THE STILL, SMALL
VOICE...calling to you Now!"

I Thirst

I THIRST.....my heart cried out to me,
as blindly...I walked on, for
many years...so lost...confused,
the road ahead...so long.

I THIRST..... I looked 'most everywhere
...for peace I ALWAYS sought,
but all I found was restlessness,
...my efforts...come to nought.

I THIRST.....I cried out ...desperately,
...somebody...hear my plea,
and show me where the answers
lie...reveal THE TRUTH TO ME!

I THIRST..... I heard another's voice,
...call to me...from a cross,
a voice...so filled with love
for me...I recognized my loss!

With sorrow then I cried, "dear
Lord...for You I've searched...and
searched...please come into my heart
and life...and quench this deep...
deep...thirst.

Forgive my blind stupidity...my
sins...they cause You pain...with
springs of Living Water...fill me
...I'll not THIRST...again!

The Source

A Seedling flower broke through the earth...and
looked toward the sun...for strength...for
hope...for nourishment...as from seed
...it sprung.
So happy...just to be alive...to sip upon the
dew...then stealthily...and swiftly...some
weeds around it grew.
So strong and quickly grew the weeds...and almost
hid from view...the seedling flower that
struggled...in it's cluttered world...so new.
All around it weeds were taking, everything to
fill their needs...the flower began to think
that it should be more like the weeds.
The flower saw gay activity...the weeds all
having fun...but what was REALLY happening
was...the flower's gaze...left the sun.
Temptation had so swiftly...taken all the joy
away...it sat...so sad and miserable...
throughout each lonely day.
Then all at once...the grace of God...was poured
upon the flower...it turned back to the
golden rays...the source of all it's power.
flower grow...we can't allow the world to
take...the hope...the joy we knew.
Our God...in all His goodness...The great, almighty
One...for strength...for hope...for nourishment,
So sweet and gentle Jesus...take my hand...and
with the run...with my face turned ALWAYS to
You...my Source of strength...God's Son.

From the time I was a little girl...my
God....so steadfastly...has kept me
safe through growing years...His love
protected me.

Reaching down with loving arms...He held
me...firm and fast...and the often
troubled times...till all the danger
passed.

I see the wonder of my God...I see His
hand each day...in all the things
that are my life... He guides me
...all the way

Everything He ever does...is done with
love...for me...He even gave His only
Son...to die...and set me free.

No-one else could ever love...as perfectly
...as pure...so we might live...He
gave His life...for mankind...me and
you.

Dying on a cross of wood...He freed all
sin-filled men...and now...because
He saw my need...He gave Me
...prayerfilled friends.

Sharing in our God's love...in
prayerful friends I see...the love
of Jesus shining through...my
christian Family.

With Heart so full of thanks and
praise...I lift my hands above...and
thank God for His faithfulness...
forgiveness...and great love!

You are God

Help me to surrender Lord,
My hidden...deep...inside,
...the sinful disobedience,
the dark...rebellious pride.

It permeates each corner, of
my life...my heart...my mind,
disguised in many subtle forms,
...and difficult to find.

I daily hand it all to you,
and daily...take it back,
when pride says, "...Hey!
...you'll need me..."then
...humility I lack!

I cannot do it on my own, a weak
...rebellious child, I need
a heart like Jesus...humble
...loving...meek and mild.

So help me to surrender Lord,
this deep...and ugly pride,
and change me...on the inside,
where the sins of darkness hide.

Please mold and finely tune me,
with Your own refining rod,
till I'm humble...bowed and
broken...STILL and knowing
...YOU ARE GOD!
