Overwhelmed

Right now I feel so very stressed 
I could really use some rest 
To many things call out to me 
When will I ever be set free 

I try to do the best I can 
Carry out what I had planned 
Do everything one at a time 
Oblivious to the committed crime 

     I’m overwhelmed 
     This is how I feel
     I’m overwhelmed 
     I need to be healed
     I’m overwhelmed 

I forget to do my daily devotions 
Distracted by too much commotion 
Ignore the Bible, don't even pray 
I'll just do it some other day 

Soon I get much busier 
Life isn't getting easier 
More and more I rely on my own 
"I'm so tired," I always moan 

     I’m overwhelmed 
     This is how I feel 
     I’m overwhelmed 
     I need to be healed 
     I’m overwhelmed 

My strength is sapped and then spent
I can't do no more I now relent
It has become too difficult 
To continue on I need a jolt 

I reached rock bottom I do fear 
"NO YOU HAVEN’T," I then hear 
"YOU HAVE JUST NEGLECTED ME
COME BACK SO I CAN BRING RELIEF" 

Then off comes the heavy burden 
My brokenness begins to mend 
There was no reason to ever stress 
I now feel so very blessed 

Thank You Lord, for Your grace
Because of You, I'm not a waste 
You have shown me kindness and mercy 
Your faithfulness always completes me

     No longer overwhelmed 
     I am free and healed 
     Not overwhelmed 
     I am blessed and redeemed 
     Not overwhelmed 

     Hallelujah 
     Praise the LORD
     Overwhelm me with Your Love
     Overwhelm me with Your Grace
     Overwhelm me with Your Mercy 
     Overwhelm me with Your Presence 

     Overwhelm me LORD!

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
