Descending Like a Dove

In the beginning 
God breathed creation into being
And over the surface of the waters 
The Spirit of God was hovering 

In the days of Noah
The earth would be covered 
But as the flood receded 
Noah drew the dove back inward

From the throne of God does the water flow 
Giving life and helping things grow
The dove will fly over and find no land
Returning unto its precious Lord’s hand 

For seven days will the dove find rest
In the Lord's presence will it invest
Then fly out to hover again
Bringing a token of peace as it descends

God looks down upon His creation
Longing to bring reconciliation
Planning a way for our redemption
Descending down to bring salvation

The Holy Spirit impregnated Mary
It was Immanuel that she did carry
Together with Joseph they raised Him in Galilee
God made a way for our sins to be buried

In the days of John the Baptist 
He called us out to be repentant
Baptizing the people into the water
Preparing the way for our Redeemer 

Jesus carried out what God required 
As He rose out from the water
The heavens were opened
The Spirit descended 
As God said, “This is my Son
Who I am very content with.”

Jesus declares, “I am coming soon 
The water of life you will consume
As I descend to take you home
We will hover up to my glory throne”

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...
