Consider this title for all its worth
this is the Son of God, Jesus, the only one
He took our sins to Calvary's cross
there, He paid the ultimate price as God's son
Jesus became our substitute in our place
we should have paid it instead of Him
but out of His abundant love so priceless
He took our judgment right over the brim
But God the Father raised Him up
three days later, death's power was beat
this same Jesus walked again on earth
proving He is God, so bow at His mercy seat
Then Jesus ascended to His Father's side
there interceding on our behalf there
eternally in that place till He returns
for His elect under the holy Spirit's care
Come and celebrate our Thanksgiving
to this Lord Jesus, our great love
be eternally grateful for His faithfulness
His grace, His mercy, which came from above
Thank Him for His blessed shed blood
that covers our sins, blotting them out
bringing His imputed righteousness upon us
so not one sin can the Father eternally count
Praise the holy name of Jesus
God's lovely son forever, amen!
never forget all that He has done
glorious in His name, my forever friend
Dear Jesus
thank you for interceding for me
Lord you want the best for each and every one
our one true friend
that is second to none Amen
Romans 8:34
34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Amen
John 17:20-23
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Amen
Surely there is a phantom here
As I jerk my head in sudden fear
Praying for those I hold so dear
Sensing movement that is very near
If it happened just the one time
I'd dismiss it as nickel-and-dime
But more than once - has to be sublime
And this happens in the daytime
Birds on the feeder are not shaken
And my senses are not mistaken
So this cannot be godforsaken
But prayers the phantom has a stake in
We do not know how we should pray
So this phantom helps us in His way
With groanings we cannot hear or say
Interceding for us as we pray
I must testify to the Spirit's aid
His assistance is deeply laid
Great care and effort powerfully made
Our prayers to the Father conveyed
"She so says,
He must really love me because he just won't go away
He must really care for me because he's ever present like the air, moves yet stays, Always available awesomely so cares. Like Daddy God yet and still his stance stays.
He moves, moved quietly yet he stands loudly. He won't go away he accepts me for who and whose I am
He doesn't comment on my negativity his space is graced with the love, of the Father His heart is earnest so important he craves attention yet he does nothing about expense still and still he stand he refuses to leave yet he stands oh what a love this man had such a gentleman he prays for me often interceding quietly such a whole man yet instilled he understands quietly awaiting yet still I'm pretty his heart's blossoming beating yet still don't know the provision don't understand the vision yet and still he stays he won't go away he .......
just stands, so in my stay I'm just gonna stance"

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2023
God has sent down to earth
His gospel message of salvation
through the person of Jesus His son
what a wonderful happy occasion
For God saw man had fallen
into sinfulness so very great
only Jesus could rescue him
from this hell-bound awful state
Jesus's call was for repentance
for man to turn away from sin
and turn back to God's glorious way
receiving grace forever to win
Jesus now lives in heaven
interceding for those of His elect
up there, there's so great rejoicing
when sinners are no longer in debt
What a smile on Jesus's face
when His power is on display
bringing redemption to His saved
who repent to find God's way
(Having written this when considering when would Jesus smile when here on earth, this is my evidence that he would.)
Christ is risen, He's no more in the grave,
Christ is risen, has overcome death wave,
The tomb could not hold Him
Defeated Reaper Grim
He is risen, the sepulchre's open
He is risen, the chains of sin broken
The earth could not hide Him
His light would not grow dim
Christ crucified, offered Himself in love
He is risen, seated in heav'n above
The stone was rolled away
'pon Him, death could not prey
He is risen, interceding for us
He is risen, His blood has freed us thus
Reason for living hope
Life eternal, our scope

For Regina McIntosh's "Easter" contest
Injustice, corrupted, barbaric laws
Created and put into place for coloured men
A policy that is crocked and bent from ancient times
Policies and Procedures in place to justify the wrongdoings of privileged men
Another form of captivity to eradicate and eliminate a human race
There’s no such justice for coloured men
Laws were created only for the privileged men
Their actions no matter how barbaric or cruel there are,
Are justified by ancient and new-age laws
There is no justice for the coloured man
Every law was written to aid, justify and support privileged men
Thank the Creator for Heavenly laws that outweigh all Earthly laws
Rules and regulations designed and put into place
For all earthly gods to abide by and follow
If Yah says, Yes no man can say, No
For his report and word accomplishes what it’s meant to do
Earthly laws were not created for the coloured man
But were put into place to justify and aid privileged men
The only justice that aids and supports
A coloured race is Godly laws that are fair and just
Thank you, Father, for interceding for all coloured people
In these violent and horrific times.
May I take this moment
God's precious servant
to offer up alms
to raise my arms
praises and surrendering
within his the Father's blessedness
within your alone I'll be there
in your present I'll be there
in your silence I'm there
in your prayers I'm there
I care
interceding with Our Father
allow me... I'll be there

With peace honor and joy
In love I come
I come through in God in Him
I come
Interceding on our beloved behave
Makings of intercession for the children of God
That we live peaceful
In quiet lives
Together by godliness
And in dignity
This is good and please God
Our Savior triumphantly
We all should try this day today
Try this this GOOD NEW DAY

WRITTEN WORDS BY JAMES EDWARD LEE SR
Were I to ignore the ever-swelling tide
Lay my head upon the pillow unheeding,
Allowing fate alone to be my trusted guide
I would lay life’s better choices then aside
Betraying the inner voices ever pleading,
Were I to ignore the ever-swelling tide.
Seems folly to live a life whate’er betide
Without awareness of choice interceding,
Allowing fate alone to be my trusted guide.
Some take the forfeit of choices in stride,
And I should clearly illustrate the needing
Were I to ignore the ever-swelling tide.
Like building where fates alone decide
Without thought of conscientious leading,
Allowing fate alone to be my trusted guide.
Their attitude is “come along for the ride”
No notice of those who unwary lie bleeding
Were I to ignore the ever-swelling tide
Allowing fate alone to be my trusted guide.

I
Once we prayed for fatigued hands
Jesus, Yahwah Rophikah, healer
He had previously helped heal Carmelo
God had been faithful to Hebrews
In the desert, in Canaan, in wars
Yahwah Nissi, Our Banner
The One who wins victories for us
He is faithful even if we are not
( 2 Timothy 2:11-13)
II
LORD, we glorify Thee, In three Persons -
Elohim: Father, Son, The Most Holy Spirit
Yahwah Tsidkennu, who makes us Righteous
Yahwah Shalom: He alone offers Peace
Yahwah Rohi, our Good Shepherd
Yahwah El Shaddai, the Mighty One -
We thank You for You are Good
There is no shadow or darkness in Thee
Bathe Lisa Ricci, her family, us ... In LIGHT
Amen, in Jesus's Great, Matchless, Name
PRAYER
I say a prayer is anyone there?
I beg, plead, but no answer.
Is it imaginary or am I impatient.
I’ve seen things happen in my life
A friend, a mother, and a wife.
Blessed beyond anything wished
But at the same time incomplete
I say a prayer when I feel defeated
Battered, broken is anyone interceding
Sin so bad, I sink with shame, ugliness
Is someone hearing my prayer, really?
Maybe it’s just not to be heard
There’s serious things in the world
The churches, the books all alike
But when help is needed no one in sight
I say a Prayer for me and others
Those with no strength to pray
Above all else is my belief, trust
When alone I say a prayer
Is anyone listening can someone hear!
Spin Now an Angel’s Gown
Dedicated to Father Johnnie E. Ross
When a tree so desires to sing and dance,
It becomes a home for the fabric of angels’ gowns.
Go,then, and as you pass that place —
Along the trail where you linger in wonder —
By your favorite white mulberry tree,
Where the silkworms were brought
To feast on favored leaves...
Pause
And, please, take a knee to God
For me.
So blessings may come from your interceding whispers
About my confessional pleas for mercy;
About my screaming hopes for healing. And
Speak, too, my praises and thanksgivings
For the blessings of my life and still living...
In all faith, voicing sacred verses, please
Touch the heart of Jesus.
~ Wells may spring!
Clouds may gently let go their rain onto
Vines that may reach swiftly on beyond reason.
And, notice! Wafting over you
From the mulberry branches,
The dappling dance of the leaves’ shade
With the splattering of sun in-between,
Inspiring your soul to sing
For my healing.
*****. *****. *****. *****. *****. ******
Thank you, Father Ross. And
Thanks be to God.

LORD, I humbly greet You, return to my prayer list from near LESOTHO
Adoration is the FIRST STEP in prayer (That's how I begin) using A-C-T-S
The letters, not the word, A for adoring Him, C for confession of sins
Variety & Individuality in prayer, but these steps are essential (O Lebanon!)
I intercede, Abba-Father, for countries whose names begin with "L" (Laos!)
At the start I thought I wouldn't recall them all; almost forgot leaderless Libya
Africans used Libya as a way to Europe - Refugee Crisis - before Corona Virus!
Not Ghadafi's Libya under forced good behavior, but the wildness of "democracy"
Do show mercy to all Creation, in Jesus' Name, to those "named and unnamed"
Liechtenstein and Luxembourg could easily be overlooked, no news
Is GOOD news when talking of a pandemic, yet we pray for big and small
Bless us: Liberia & Lithuania, Father, the One Jesus made known us ("Abba")
You are the God of second, third, or umteen chances; we ask Thy forgiveness
As we seek Thy Spirit of Truth, O Holy Spirit, to teach us (as Jesus promised)
God knows our heart
Written: by Miracle man

Many times when burdened for someone,
we go to God interceding on their behalf,
sometimes praying in a language that only God understands.
As words fail us, we’re reduced to just tears,
and tears often say, in a more eloquent manner,
What the tongue cannot begin to utter.
Psalms 26:8
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
