In a Powerful Way

The Most High way, Abba Father, your hands are full, always a-bless, never ending- your palms of grace. You are love…ing in a pow-er-ful way! Hallelujahs forever born. The light of sun, of color’s mirth. The apt applause t’ward great I Am. You are joy-ful, in a pow-er-ful way! Heart’s rest, presence so calm - your wings wrap around me, keep me so warm. Your lullaby - a smile and hug. You are so peace-ful, in a pow-er-ful way! Til last minute, you cajoled them. Ones that made it - happy and free. Seeds’ elated…none belated. You are so pa-tient, in a powerful way! Milk and honey, sweeter the vine. Filling coffer, eternal goods. Every breath sets the table. You are so ki-i-nd, in a pow-er-ful way! Mercy, forgiveness, of His blood, His heart a-glow in Father’s glance. We wear Christ’s righteousness - a gift. You are so goo-oo-ood, in a pow-er-ful way! Your eye on our time and our space. Each hair on our heads, you’ve counted, and the cost was all worth it, Lord. You are faith-ful, in a pow-er-ful way! The palms of your hands were hammered. Your heart was broken, your crown pierced. Blood, sweat and tears in flawless pain. You are gent-le, in a pow-er-ful way! We are selfish, greedy, flesh-born. Out for ourselves, but you O Lord stretched out on the cross, gave your all. You’re self re-strained, in a pow-er-ful way! 12/2/2022 Now the works of the flesh are obvious…But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.* Proclaiming the word: I belong to Jesus Christ. My flesh is crucified with its passions and pleasures I keep in step with the Spirit, not conceited not provoking not envying* *Galatians 5 CSB
