Still Waters

The times amid the struggle

When the world tries to pull me in

I pray Your Spirit helps me

In my fight against all sin

What to me is so amazing

As I close my eyes in prayer

Your overwhelming presence

With joy I sense You are there

As if this world has faded

I am beside still waters as I pray

With You Lord there beside me

Listening to what I say.

Paint With Words

I long to paint a picture with my words

Of whom You are and what You’ve done

The magnificence of the Father

The glory of the Son

A new heart filled with Your Spirit

The forgiveness of my sin

Lord even to attempt to paint this picture

Where would I so unworthy begin

For the Gospel to be known

In all I write, say and do

In the words I use to paint

All would see a clear picture of You

So this prayer heartfelt and simple

I ask if this is for me what You planned

As I paint with love and pen

You receive all glory, as You guide my hand.

RUN TO YOU  

Though I am strengthened by Your promises

Fortified through Your word

Empowered by Your spirit

Secure in the gospel, that I heard

I am still but a child Lord

A new creation through and through

When this world begins to drag me down

I do not walk, I run to You.
