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.
