Faith comes by hearing & hearing by the word of God

You know it’s him because of when and how he calls

As you respond…you realize He’s the answer to the hearts deepest cries Like Paul, the scales fall from before your very eyes

All you have ever known to be true in life. .were lies

New sight for future years

The new creation is awakened here is this sphere

I know because of this new sight, which is now so clear it’s almost like seeing someone you like

Suddenly you seek after them in hope of a companion for life

Sought like treasure but, more precious than gold

In the pages of His book is the greatest love story ever told

When you are seeking Him…He is pursuing you

And what He seeks is the best & all of you Ali around us is a glimpse of His glory

The beautiful thing is, that’s not the end of this story

Purchased by His blood was our price for eternity

The only thing he asks is…”Will you live for me?”

He even did it for people you consider enemies

Words spoken so sweetly, it’s hard to believe

That as He is, so we are in this world

Wise as a serpent & harmless as a dove

Should be-our aim in this new-life to reflect-His great love

To acquire this new found wisdom, some do not find

They think it’s a joke and will know when they get left behind

He’s true to his word and He’s completely unchanging

Rejoicing in the Lord always is a Christians charging station

Until then, you must spend time with Him daily studying His word

in its pages are the answers to your prayer supplications

To give you celebrations & comfort in life’s frustrations

So what are you seeing with this new sight?

Holding onto Jesus, like a pillar of stone

Life’s challenges become easier when you realize you are not alone Oh comforting is His gentle & mighty hand

He will help you continue…and if need be, carry you through the sand

The one that will endure, will stand on faiths confession in Jesus Christ

It will only be believable to others, in how you live your life

Implementing evil schemes will not fulfill a need

Planting seeds of life & watering others is how we are meant to lead Do this out of love through use of His word to yield the peaceable fruit

It becomes easier when you are trained in it through the reason of use

For we are all walking pages and are read more than a book

For the Holy Spirit, even the evil one has a certain Fook

A container is only as good as what’s in it, I have heard someone say

For in filling yourself with Gods word will preserve the righteous on judgement day

Getting people to ask you why you have hope is not an easy part For it starts in knowing in whom is the holder of your heart Working for love…is no love at all

For a gift given is only as precious as the manner of Spirit in which it was given Since God is Love…that is what we got HIM!

Until you truly give your heart to Jesus, it’s hard to convince people of new creation

All they are looking at is your rap sheet, that’s the principle of the Mosaic Law It makes you feel condemnation that make your insides crawl i know I have done things worthy of this sentence

But from now on…l want my walk be one reflecting a life of forgiveness & repentance

It’s not that I didn’t know how, only…l didn’t have the power to do it on my own

And it’s SO wonderful-that it’s Jesus who will-carry me home Purging the conscience mind of so many past sins

Is no easy task for me but…is necessary to behold the power that comes only from Him Waking up at night from evil works long gone

Is so much easier to cope with when I am leaning on the everlasting arms

Bring to my mind Father the good things you have placed within my heart And let me know that each day is a blessing & fresh new start

Having to walk a trail I have never seen, is easier to follow when I let Him take the lead

When I am competing in what’s known as life’s big race

Is easier when I am focused on Him to set the right pace

Turn not to the left nor worry what’s on the right

Is the key to success in battle knowing I possess the armor of light

Thank you Father for not giving me your love based on what I have done Instead you gave it to me in Jesus…Your only begotten Son

Lost & indecisive

Is how I feel inside

Please Lord…don’t leave me like this way & be my only guide

Hope of new beginnings, to bring glory to your name

How to perform I do not know when I am reminded of my shame

One sided conversations, greed within their heart

Puffed up with pride, they stride on by feeling bigger than they are Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do

Not everyone can wear this brand of shoe

Build me up in spirit, teach me your truth & your way

Put it in my heart, bring it to my mind so I may not be fed astray

Help me to believe the strength of your word & boldly speak it to the storm For I am no good apart from you & for your glory I was born

Thank you, Father, for taking my rags & nailing them to the cross

Since the exchange, I lift up your name & count everything else a loss

Free will comes not without consequence

Some choices cause pain, others…deliverance

The freedom to choose is a gift of mystery

I realized it when my children did things just like me

At the time…l was the blind leading the blind

With bad habits that consume the heart & pollute the mind

I was lost & without direction

Instead…I led them through a mine field of death & destruction

Broken hearts & broken dreams, both the results of my deception

Father show them the way to defeat the carnal man

And that it starts with knowing & being filled with the Great I AM

All I want for them is to know you & be the one in whom they love

To be wise as a serpent & yet harmless as a dove Help them one day to understand

That to be successful in life…starts with nurturing the inner man

Lead them Father in a life filled with love, growth & opportunity

A chance to be the one who will share the good news courageously

Fill them Father with wisdom & understanding

And show them in your word is where your children learn to lead – Show them that-quality-& quantity are one the same

And that anything & anyone Can be changed…in Jesus name!
