Linen And Lace

 I cannot imagine the pain you felt.

When you were beaten with the devil's own belt.

It was for my sins YOU gave your life.

So that I could become your wife.


Through the scourge and suffering.

You thought it not to rebuke each sting.

Never in my bed of twine.

I thought that I might sit and dine.


I read your words a thousand times.

But still don't understand.

Why you paid for my crimes.

I guess you loved me so much more.

And wanted me to walk through your door.


I read about your blood and sweat.

How it hurt but you never fret.

In your thirst you saw my need.

With vinegar you chose to lead.


Someday soon I will run to you.

And say Thank You for paying my due.

To know that I am clothed with grace.

I can run dressed in linen and lace.

Hungry Days and Lonely Nights

Image
 I choose to walk, the narrow way.. With all my heart and with all I say. The sword in my heart and the Word in my mouth.. Continuously witness, against fear and doubt. I am sold out to, the Lord Most High.. Who quickens my spirit and hears my cry. Master of sound and healer of the sick.. Is there to shield me, against the devil's trick. The path I walk, is not for all.. For only the chosen, will heed the call. Through hungry days and lonely nights.. Goodness and mercy, are my guiding lights. To follow the crowd, was not my command.. While harvest time, is in such demand. Where the rivers flow, I have yet to know.. But I labour as I tarry and sow seeds for to grow. The forces of darkness, might rage at me.. But as a carrier of the anointing, I am quickened and free. The tools in my hands and the Lord as my shield... Are more than sufficient, for victory and yield.

A Prayer For You

Image
 Father, tonight, I lift up your sons and your daughters, in the east.. in the west.. in the north and in the south, in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, I pray for your touch. I pray for your joy. I pray for your peace. Let your bowels of mercy fall abundantly upon every one of them. Father, intervene in every situation and let the Holy Spirit move like a raging, rushing wind in their midst. Let them be consumed by the Blood of Jesus, in every area of their lives. Heavenly Father, cover them with your precious blood.. Clothe them with your armour and shield them from danger with your Spirit, in Jesus name. Lord, I speak total healing, upon their body.. their mind.. their heart and their spirit. Assign angels to guard them from every side. Penetrate every mountain, that stands in their way.. and deliver them from every spirit of bondage, in Jesus name. Lord, strengthen those who are weak. Comfort those who are hurting. Pour your oil of joy upon their head and let it run down the hem ...

Like A Babbling Fool

Image
I say I love you, but my words do not.. I shout with glee, like a shining pot. My eyes grow dim, to the sights I see.. For my actions speaks louder, than who I was born to be. Like a tinkling symbol, I make much noise.. To be seen and heard, so I can rejoice. From the rising of the sun, till it sets in the west.. I loose the chance, to win each test. Often I would say, I am a child of God.. Howbeit my senses, are ruled by discord. Like a slave in captivity, I am bound in chains.. For the pride in my heart, is a block to my stains. I am my own weapon, that is fighting against me.. Consumed and conformed, to the crushing to be free. I speak to the wind, like a babbling fool.. For the mote in my eye, is the devil's own tool. I lost my identity, in the pride of life.. Like a fox in the henhouse, I divorced my wife. I laughed at five loaves and two fishes, in the desert.. For a servant's heart, was distant at my birth. Where honour is given, I laugh it to scorn.. For the council I ...
