Spring up, O Well

Image
 Spring up, O well, as I sing unto you.. The nobles have dug you, to give all your due. You were prepared and built, for the day to behold.. To water the rejoicers, with drink as was told. A Proverb proclaimed, that the righteous will stand.. To signify abundance, with favour so grand. To desire the blessings, of overflowing grace.. Life-giving water, is needful for this race. Manifest in me, the power of your word.. To declare there is life, in the things I have heard. A deeper connection, through this path I must walk.. Flow from my belly, like a lily on its stalk. Spring up, O well, and come be my source.. For tarrying is unwelcome, to those on this course. Provision is your garment, with wealth to attest.. So rejoice in the desert, with shade and in rest. Water abundantly, run through my soul.. Come Holy Spirit, with help for my goal. Your power and might, will lead me to life.. So Spring up, O well, and keep me from strife.

This Donkey Of Donkeys

Image
 To carry the chosen, I was fashioned and made.. A humble servant, peaceful and laid. Out of the ordinary, with purpose to fulfill.. This majestic creature, was crafted at will. My journey began, with the heart of the Lord.. Compared to others, I was as sharp as a sword. Though others laughed with scorn, they were kept in the dust.. For the favour of God, was ordained as a must. A higher purpose, with a gift from God.. A jewel so rare, I was not in discord. A hidden gem, but mocked by the world.. Was discovery and perspective, to unravel and fold. Four legs to carry, with anointed setting strides.. Prophets and Kings, from as far as was wide. Nothing less intensely, to satisfy the need.. To awaken the hearing, of the words I should plead. The realms I was taken, so greatly amazed.. Beyond my understanding, I was frazzled but not fazed. Like an oasis in the desert, my voice could be heard.. This donkey of donkeys, the Lord ordained for His Word. The thought of ME, a donkey, the Lor...

There Is None Greater

 Oh Lord.. There is none greater in this house than YOU. You are every height, every depth and every width. Holy Spirit, my substance dwells in the habitation of your presence and in YOU I belong. Heavenly Father, when I think of your goodness towards me, I am in awe. How can I ever neglect to say thank you? My thank you is not enough. My words are insufficient to express my deep gratitude and appreciation for your love for me. The sacrifice of your life. The nail pierced hands and the nail pierced feet. The thirty- nine stripes. The crown of thorns. The piercing at your side. The gall for your thirst. The casting of lots for your clothes.  MY GOD.. MY GOD..  My thanks could never be enough.

I Pray Oh God

Image
 I pray Oh God, let your light shine through the darkness.. Let those who are blind, see You are Lord. Clear every path, from blockage and strife.. While it is day, from stress and discord. I pray Oh God, for your word to go forth.. Let deliverance manifest, in the coldest of hearts. Where there is unrest, let there be peace.. For the weight of the world, we must leave it all behind. I pray Oh God, for those who are sick..  That you heal them from sickness and every load of care. Stretch forth your hand and mark them for life.. For eternity is coming, when decisions be at rest. I pray Oh God, for families to unite.. Where there is division, let them be consumed by forgiveness. Let your love and your mercy, be their garments of praise.. For only in Jesus, the heart can be blessed. I pray Oh God, for the souls that are lost.. Let fishers of men, cast their nets in the deep. The day is fast approaching, when time will be gone.. So gather in the sheep, for they must be found.

Three Score And Ten

Image
 My ears are anointed, but I cried when I heard.. My heart was overwhelmed, as I listened to each word. I looked upon the jewel, as she sat next to me.. And the trembling in her voice, proclaimed she was free. "I am going on a journey, to a far away land".. "I will rest for eternity, while Jesus holds my hand". "In awe I will be, as the angels cry Holy".. "For no pain and no sorrow, will cover me boldly". I held on to her hand, so fragile and so weak.. Her wrinkles full of sadness, her lips could not speak. I watched as she bent, and the silence was so loud.. Three score and ten, were past each heavy cloud. She hugged me in her arms, and whispered "I Love You".. "I'll see you on the other side, when your time is due". "Fifty-seven years, I have known who Jesus is".. "Now at last I wil l meet Him, and tell Him I am His".

I Traveled Through Prayer

Image
 I traveled through prayer, and I touched the Lord's ear.. For my heart was burdened, and filled with despair. There were questions to answer, so I sought through the vail.. For into His presence, there was neither cancer nor ail. Thou art my righteousness, my strength and my stay.. My drink in the morning, and the shower on the way. My rock and my fortress, and all that I need.. So anoint me Jesus, to uproot every weed. My words of yearning, were falling like rain.. In weeping and weakness, from care and restrain. I needed attention, so I sought the Lord.. Withholding nothing, I was crying to my God. Run like the wind, I yearned in travail.. As I searched deep in mercy, to not be in jail. Give me my breakthrough, and break off this chain.. For in You there is freedom, pouring down like rain. I journeyed through places, my eyes never saw.. I battled and struggled, to knock on Your door. While voices and silence, were shadows around.. I persevered with purpose, for grace to abound.

I Am Called

Image
 I am different.. I am called. I am chosen, but not to crawl. To be wise and speak with grace.. I take counsel, from whom I praise. A remnant rise, in spirit and truth.. Not to hurt, but to be like Ruth. Dressed with knowledge, I will not be deceived.. For I seek the Lord, on my bended knees. My lips of truth, are touched with gold.. To declare in darkness, that light is come. The foolish pride, of hate and lust.. I pluck with fingers, for in God I trust. Preordained and predestined..  I have been blessed, for every test. As an instrument, of peace and joy.. I sow in fields, to reap abundantly. With a ring of gold and bed of lace.. My pleasantness and paths, are adorned with peace. My barns are plenty and my cup is full.. For I look to God and He anoints my call.
