Delighting in Your Word

    May Your word be my delight Meditating day and night May my soul it then excite Because Your word is my delight   May You shine oh so bright Bringing tears at the sight Your purity that is so white Because Your word is my delight   May You bless me with Your might As a warrior, Your knight May Your enemies I smite Enhanced by Your word, my delight   May these words that I write Give You glory in my life Making my heart so contrite Reflecting Your word my soul’s delight

Sitting at the Table

  First I thought You were far away A Phantom Being that made me pray Then I felt Your Holy Spirit And how You’re so compassionate   A presence I long to be near Your love for me is so sincere I want to know You’re pleased with me And to know You’re trustworthy   And I am someone independent Trying to be self-sufficient Hostile if others don’t like me But You’re changing that recently   You see me as Your precious child Looking at me with a smile With tears of joy in Your eyes I am someone You highly prize   Yet I am not that confident I am also impatient I struggle with my own self-doubt My faith needs to be hammered out   I try to do things on my own Increase my own dominion When You are the master of all You established the protocol   Urging me to sit at Your table With Father, Son, Spirit as equals Fully God and fully man Submitting to the holy plan   To cleanse us from the...

Writing to You

Based on 1 John 2:12-14 I am writing to you who are God’s children             Because through Jesus your sins have been forgiven I am writing to you who are mature in the faith          Because you know Him who existed from the beginning I am writing to you who are young in the faith          Because you have won, the evil one has been beaten I am writing to you who are God’s children          Because you know the Father who art in heaven I am writing to you who are mature in the faith          Because you know Him who existed from the beginning I am writing to you who are young in the faith          Because through Christ your strength is inhuman The words of God indwells in your hearts          And you have won; the evil one has been beaten

I Want to Know

I wake up in the morning Ready to start the day Yet, I feel my soul is yearning For something to make me say I want to know Deep in my soul That You are God This restlessness keeps stirring And I am overwhelmed I constantly keep searching But my soul will not be stilled I want to know Deep in my soul That You are God I go to church and pray Read the Bible everyday Sing my hymns and songs But this restlessness goes on I talk to my pastor Conversate with my friends But the questions always linger The restlessness doesn't end I need to know Deep in my soul That You are God I shout it on a mountaintop "Show Yourself to me! I want this restlessness to stop I want to be at peace!" Weak and tired, I fall to my knees But my soul keeps calling For something to put my mind at ease For something to bring fulfillment I lift my eyes up I see Your creation Numerous stars and galaxies Beyond all amazement I look down below I see Your creation Billions of people wandering around Billions...

Holy Eyes

Oh no, here we go again  I am ashamed to call you my friend Why did you mess up just like that? There is no way to ever go back How can you be so very foolish? I cannot forgive you for your own sins You have messed up for the very last time You have committed the ultimate crime I then do things I shouldn't do I go ahead and become a fool I get wrapped up about myself Oblivious that I too need help I scream and moan about sinfulness How wicked and bad this world really is But I'm just as bad as they all are My own sins I have ignored so far I'm just as bad as my own parents I'm judgmental and relentless I've become so quick to condemn I've failed to show Your love for them You look down with mercy and grace Compassion is written all over Your face Because You so loved the entire world Your plan of salvation was then unfurled That whosoever shall believe in You Shall live eternally just like You do For You did not come to judge Your creation Instead You came to br...

Love One Another

The Bible says that God is love  But do we truly know that enough?  He sent His one and only Son  So that our sins can be undone  Because He loved us so much so  Love for each other we should show  For if we really love each other  His existence is much clearer  God loves us and in that we trust  We live in Him and He lives in us  Living in Him our love grows perfect  So don’t be afraid of His judgment  We can face Him with confidence  Jesus himself gives us credence  Perfect love banishes all fear  Punishment you should not despair  Hate anyone we are a liar  Cause we are meant to love each other  Love one another  To love God we must also love each other  Let us not be a liar  Let us show our love to each other  Love one another Do you think that you are fine  Do you think that you are kind  Are there people yo...

Proverbs

I'm a pathetic human being Full of sin and foolish dreams My eyes burn with a wicked flame Burning for things that are profane I ignore Wisdom as she calls out Her advice I have reason to doubt Yet there she is in front of the town At the crossroads she cries aloud "I, Wisdom, live with good judgment I uncover knowledge and discernment I hate arrogance and perverse speech Good sense and success belong to me "Before everything I was born Before the mountains were even formed I was there when God formed the heavens When He divided all the oceans "When God set the limits of the seas They couldn't go past their boundaries I was the architect at His side I was His never-ending delight "All who hate me love death instead But that is not what God intended Find me to find life and the Lord's favor There is nothing on earth that is more safer "So don't ignore all of my sayings Richness is all that I am conveying Burn for t...
