Blest throne of grace is my haven's delight...
there, God meets me with divine blissful light
welcoming my heart against trials' plight
offering solace for triumphant flight.
Midst fellowship around haven of rest...
there, the Lord cheers me up with joyous zest
warming my spirit to vanquish woes' test
commending me for doing what is best.
Enclosed inside protected haven's brace...
there, I stay serene in safe prayer-place
while my faith soars above heavenly space
grateful to live well, conquering life's race.
In my early teens,
Just turning 14, I gave
My heart to Christ.
It felt so nice.
Indeed, I was reborn.
But subconsciously,
I was torn
Between personal
relationship with Christ
Which brought freedom,
And religiosity with people,
Which permeated my tender
Soul and imprisoned me.
I hasten to say,
That sometimes there are areas grey.
They are enticing, inviting, and subtle.
But grey areas can be very deceptive.
I am grateful that, when still a teen
Of 19, the religious fever with people
Was pealed away and its hypo spirituality
gave way to a relationship with Christ.
No. My relationship is 'not a license'.
Yes. My relationship is 'based in love'.
Oh, present believer or new reciever,
I sincerely beg of you; let not that which
Initially draws you to God be more appealing
Than the simplicity to be found in Christ.
You are not at all odd..In communing with
God, He is The life giver, Source of the great crystal river, satan gives death, in him is no breath, his leadership is in worry
War, anger, pain, no eternity of gain, look now at the world, what it is doing.' You will
Concur, the rule is by, and with fear therefore, just be sincere.' Smile; live and
Love God, before you are put under earths sod.'
Jesus is the holy one.
In his name the demons Run.
In his name we are saved by no other name is there salvation.
Praise Jesus for all the dark days.
Praise Jesus for every tear shed because he is Great.
Save us Oh Lord from our sinful ways.
This body of mine is unclean but I pray, may your blood wash me white as snow.
Thank you Jesus for visions of great things and times you stayed with me.
I remember walking the streets on my death march hoping for an end.
You were there Lord I felt your breath on my back pushing me forward knowing You are God with me.
Praise Jesus for trusting me with his words.
Mercy to me Jesus I beg keep me from my evil ways and darkness.
Change my body into one worthy of being in your presence Lord Jesus have mercy on me an Evil one.
Praise You Jesus for everything you have done in my life.
You have given me so much mercy help us all, Help Glenda my new friend stay with her tonight and protect her.
Lord Have mercy on us all protect us all from ourselves
Lord I praise you for teaching me to be better today.
Lord please keep us all safe from evil and temptation and let us know your grace love peace and mercy.
Anticipation
Promise made prior
No more worries
Shredding tears no more
Painless vibes
Rejoice being delivered
Actual guarantee
Far Beyond Earth
Naked human eyes can’t see
Ridges of my heart
Blessing deep down in my soul
Cries making it all possible
Meeting Christ face to face
Created me from beginning in his trace
His image and my perfection
Feeling of belonging
Preparation from birth
The day, hour and moment
Journey to everlasting
Home away from home
Heaven’s shelter
Peaceful and caring roam
My home sweet home.
We gather
thirsty, weary
like a flock of birds after a long flight
ready to drink Holy Spirit revival.
The congregation
children of God
the bride of Christ, His beloved
sing praises to the risen King
voices lift like the rising sun.
Holy Word of God
burns like fire within the soul
convicts hearts to follow Him
sin’s deadly stains washed away
cleansed by the Redeemer’s blood.
Jesus here invites His disciples to travel
right across the other side of the sea
in a fishing boat where a storm arose
this was a great storm, as the disciples agreed
The waves were filling the boat
Jesus' disciples were showing great fear
even accusing Jesus of not caring
for the Lord was asleep, as if He didn't hear
Jesus awoke and questioned their lack of faith
then He spoke to the sea, " Peace, be still"
the wind ceased, bringing great calm
showing Jesus ruled over storms, so brill
Now today Jesus has this same control
whatever storm you are having to face
He can intervene in your life
calming your storm by His grace
Do you have faith to believe He can?
be not like the disciples who were afraid
believe in the Lord Jesus and His love
for He died for your sins, the price He paid
Is he a MOUNTAIN like Whitney or Everest, rising strong and tall,
high above the landscape, watching and warning of dangers?
I think yes.
Is he an OCEAN like Atlantic, Indian, or Pacific, whose waves
keep coming to the shores ever so consistently and receding,
only to return again?
I think yes.
I also think that he is like a FAITHFUL RIVER, flowing with force
and favor with life and energy for all of us.
I also see him like a DAM who refuses to break: and he's so
well constructed to release faith, hope, and love to all those
down stream.
He's like a WALL of DEFENSE, shielding and protecting from
any and all enemies.
He's a WARRIOR, pulling down strongholds with the prayer
weapons of his warfare.
He's a LANDMARK, displaying the value of things
unchangeable and unmovable.
And last but not last, he's a GENTLE STREAM, flowing
with waters so divinely pure and crystal clear.
Gratitude to God grips my faith’s earnest worship
with His love, sealed around divine partnership
toward victorious and fruitful stewardship.
Committed to serve through faithful stewardship
my heart conquers selfishness that hinders worship
fulfilling roles marked by ministerial partnership.
Cleaving to the Lord midst His partnership
I seek His favor against vain stewardship
while my spirit rejoices every revival worship.
My praise-filled worship with Christ’s partnership radiates triumphant stewardship.
Consider well how great God is
remind yourself of His wondrous grace
how often He comes to your rescue
delivering you, proving God's on your case
Remember your sins from knee-high
all of them till now and till death
Jesus took them on at Calvary
to accomplish our salvation in His last breath
Jesus has paid for them all
shedding His blood for our redemption
never forget His great mercy to atone
loving us so much by His selection
No matter our ups and downs
our Lord remains faithful forever
in all circumstances He does not change
proving His love will always deliver
Be thankful in all circumstances
every day give Him all your praise
for He loves to hear your own voice
sing thankfully for all your days
VALUED and most precious to me
EMENSELY courageous and determined
RICHER by far than most of us
OVERCOME of what seems impossible
NEVER ever says, never
I am deeply moved by her faith
CHRISTIAN example and model
ARMED and permeated with grace
Heaven invisible and holy.
1 Cor. 2:9,10; Rev. 21:27.
¦¦¦ eye hath seen, ¦¦¦ ear hath heard,

To tread the heav'nly ground
(Blackout of Hymn 105 by Isaac Watts)
Genuine love must be the mark
reject all that evil portrays
holding fast to all that's good
keeping true to all Jesus would say
Be zealous and not lazy, serving the Lord
in hope, be sure to rejoice evermore
patiently be faithful, endure hardship
constantly be in prayer, knocking God's door
Support continually the saints of God
be a blessing to all, the bad and the good
be a listener to those who are sad
encourage them to know they are understood
Live in harmony with all you know
be humble and meek to all in your path
live at peace with everyone you meet
never avenge any; leave them to God's wrath
For vengeance is the Lord's alone
so feed the hungry, give drink to thirsty
don't give in to evil but always do good
love Jesus to the fullest, always first
When I Fall
By Frank Daub
When I fall unaware of sin,
is God aware of me? Does He
see sin as second chance to win
Eternity?
And if eternity’s the prize
Which degree will I find there?
The brightened streams of Paradise
Or the tempest--blackened air?
Have you heard the one about sheeren?
Sold out, Macklemore, so deciev'n !
At (one blast from kraft ')
That friendships now past
He's so rich' with dystiopian leanings !
