My Light
Lord, You are my rock, my fortress and my strength.
Whatever I do I want to do for You
Go before me and show me the light
So that I may do for You what is right
I need Your guidance to show me the way
I’m lost in this darkness, so now I pray
You have promised to be a lamp to my feet
I know You are faithful so this promise You will meet
Light my every step with Your presence Lord
So that I might do Your will
And follow Your way
Always…
Tears
Are You crying with me Lord
Are these the tears from heaven
Tears to show that You feel my pain
Tears to show that You feel my sorrow
Are these tears from heaven
To comfort my broken cry
To soothe the ache of a shattered heart
Are You crying with me my beloved Heavenly Father
Or am I crying alone?
Please say that You are…
Sitting
I’m sitting all alone
And I’m looking at the sky
It’s dark and grey
Like a miserable day
And suddenly I’m wondering why
Why am I sitting all alone?
Why am I sitting out here on my own?
Where did you go?
Didn’t you know?
That you’re not just supposed to forget
The one that you love…
That’s not the way it’s supposed to work…
Now my heart looks like the sky
All grey and miserable…
Miserable and grey…
Empty and lonely
Waiting to sit here for yet another day…
God cannot fit into a box
He is almighty. He is all powerful. He can do anything. He is literally capable of doing whatever He pleases. You cannot put God into a box… And it grieves me to realize that so many people try to do it without even knowing it…
Do you truly believe that if you ask in true faith that God can move a mountain?
No, not just know that the bible says so, but actually believe that through you God can move a real, physical mountain?
Or dare you not ask such a bold question in fear of being disillusioned? In fear of something so big not being answered?
That is not true faith…
I too find it hard to truly believe…
So I ask Him everyday for more faith. Every day is necessary to get there…
So that one day – through me- God might move more than a mountain.
I know that He can… If only we all believed that God cannot fit into the box that we have created – or any other boxes that we try to squeeze Him into.
Soli Deo Goria
I never saw the emptiness of the world… I could only see the attraction and the allure. The lights, the smoke and the mirrors. Behind it lies nothing. Nothing of worth. Nothing that makes you a better person. And suddenly I sit here seeing straight through. And it makes me sad that others can’t see it too… A great sadness fills my heart and a hope that one day the light may filter through the darkness. A light that shines directly onto the nothingness. That people may know the only true way to live is in Jesus Christ alone. You can’t mix the two. Best of both won’t do. Soli Deo Gloria – To God alone be the glory.
Breathe
I need to remind myself to breathe
And sometimes it feels like
I have forgotten how
‘Cause you taught me
You taught me to take every breath slowly,
To smell the fresh air
You taught me to laugh my heart out,
No matter who stares
You taught me to love
Like I have never loved before…
You taught me just to be…
You taught me to be me
Imperfect
You are worthy Lord,
More than any can imagine
You are worthy of wondrous praise
You are worthy of perfect love
Nothing I give to You can ever measure up
To what You have given me
And I keep wondering why
For I know that I do not deserve it
Yet You give me more everyday
You are all I could ever need
But then why is it so easy
For me to go astray?
I’m an imperfect sinner
Inconsistent in my praise
Undeserving
And set in my ways
You are worthy of so much more
Than I could ever give
And for some unknown reason
You accept my inconsistency
Now I want to thank You Lord
For not forgetting me
Please keep holding on
And keep moulding me
I want to be worthy of Your love
And I know, Lord, that it is not easy…
Convicted
Once again I am convicted
by the power of Your grace,
I fall to my knees
with tears streaming down my face,
and in my heart I hear You whisper
and I feel Your hand reaching down,
For in my weakness You are strong Lord
and You want to comfort me now,
You lift me up in Your power and might
and only through You Lord I am ready to fight,
Help me to conquer my selfish desires
and mould my heart after Yours,
Show me what You want me to be
and help me Lord to become that person
down to my very core…
The wonders of Your grace
It’s a beautiful morning
And I take the time to thank you Lord
For all that You have given me
I look around me and I see
The wonders of Your grace
For I know that I do not deserve
These things that You have given me
And I am reminded once again
That they are only temporary
Your true mercy will be realized
The day that I walk through the doors of heaven
And You welcome me with open arms
No hesitancy or pausing
To look at my sins
For they have been nullified
When Your son took my blame
And nailed it to the cross
I know that I need not remind You
Of Your promise to love
For You have proven it to be true
A long time ago
And all I need to do
Is love You in return
Such a small price it seems
For being with You for eternity
How great is Your grace and mercy
You have sent Your son
To take all of my blame
And nail it to the cross
So that I may be free
‘n Bloeiende lot
Ek het regtig nie woorde vir hoe ek voel nie
En ek glo nie ek sal ooit kan hê nie
Al die konflik binne my
baklei ‘n battle wat my hart laat bloei
Ek bly wonder of ek die regte ding gedoen het
Al weet ek dat dit so is
En ek bly wonder hoe dit sal voel
Om van alles te vergeet
En terug te vlug na die veiligheid van jou omhelsing
Ek is ’n mens van gemak
En om dit omver te gooi
Vat ’n groot oorlog
Waarin een kant groot skade lei
Daardie kant binne my
Treur oor als wat verlore is
Dit huil en dit smeek vir ’n sagte hand
Want daar is te min manskappe wat oorbly
Om nog ’n geveg te kan weerstaan
So al wat gedoen kan word
Is om ’n wit vlaggie te waai
En verewig die bloeiende lot te aanvaar…
