Prayer, a conscious effort!
Within my heart, my soul music.
A cry for peace within a chaotic world
A friend in the silence.
The loving energy of God,
The uniting of will and heart,
Refreshment when nothing can be said!
Merging with A deeper love,
My heart joining with the maker of the world.
An ever-flowing river of dynamic love,
Ebbing and flowing in a heartbeat rhythm,
And the peaceful surrender to a purpose.
An intersession of self-offering,
A community chorus that covers the whole world,
An offering of shared joys and woes,
Trusting in God and grace,
And a sharing of his work.
Our imperfect love,
Uniting with the redeeming saving love.
All freely given because of a death,
On a tree!
Trust
The Storm!
When I hear the first thunder and then the powerful rush of rain.
I think of you Lord!
When your thunder is spine-tingling, and your lightning is sketched on the sky.
I think of you Lord!
When your steams of water are flowing all around.
I think of you Lord!
And the waves of the wind billow and blow.
I think of you Lord!
And when the soft rains come, and I smell the ground.
I think of you!
And I remember!
I Remember your sweet rain!
For it is you who makes the storm clouds, who gives showers of rain.
It is you who comes to us like the showers, and the rains that water the earth.
You paint the sky with a majesty of color.
And you bless us and fill us with spirit, we are like a river that never runs dry.
We just have to remember and have faith, a close and loving faith.
Faith in the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Faith to be intimate with you, even when the storms seem to overwhelm us.
Faith to hold on and find you as the anchor in our stormy life.
And faith to remember you in the small things, and the big.
And to do the things that you call us to do in our life no matter what the cost.
For you are the God of sweet rain.
And though the seasons change your love remains.
Amen.
Down in grave he lay Broken and bruised.
Down in grave he lay Broken and bruised for you and for me.
Humbly he came to the cross so we could be free.
He could have had an army of angels for protection.
Instead he chooses humility and death.
Freely he gave his live for all.
Down in grave he lay Broken and bruised for you and for me.
In to the depths of hell, he went to brake the chains of sin.
To set us all free!
New life for all, his kingdom flung open for you and me!
What kind of love is this that the son of God should die for you and me!
God’s love!
God’s love for all.
Listen to his call!
Come all who are broken, lost and forgotten.
Find love and forgiveness and a life renewed.
Share in the fellowship our love for each other!
Be made strong and new!
I am Calling to you
He stands at the door waiting for you and me!
I have opened it!
Will you?
Be still and know
I often feel like I am running around like mad man
Trying to juggle the things that happen day by day.
Things running around in my head at a thousand miles an hour.
BE STILL AND KNOW
The wordpool of my mind says I can’t hold it all in
Faster, faster quicker, quicker things come in. They come and I don’t know what to do.
Stop the world I want to get off.
BE STILL AND KNOW
Plates are spinning life is swirling, whirling and turning, so fast all is a blur!
They are going to fall!
Fall to the floor and smash to the ground broken unable to be put back together.
BE STILL AND KNOW
Am I being pulled apart, broken and poured out spilled to the floor!
Lost and spilling through the cracks of life.
Never to be the same again.
BE STILL AND KNOW
BE STILL AND KNOW
Stop Bang Crash!
BE STILL AND KNOW
BE STILL AND KNOW
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!
So I Stop what I am doing!
I Quit trying,
I Quit fretting,
I Quit panicking,
I Quit fussing,
I Quit resisting.
I am still . . .
And I know that you are God. . .
I trust that You know what you’re doing with Me
And I am in awe or you. . .
I am Resting in your arms of love. . .
I am still and know that I am with God. . .
One Love!
The body of Love broken for you!
Drink at the table, one cup we share!
The blood shed in love for you.
Eat at the table, one loaf we share!
The body of love broken for all!
The body, the blood the sign that is true.
Love for all he shed his life.
This Jesus our saviour, given for you!
Come to the table!
Be renewed!
Come all who are broken, lost and forgotten.
Find love and forgiveness and a life renewed.
Share in the fellowship our love for each other!
Be made strong and new!
The body of love, broken for you!
The body of love broken now new!
New life for all, free and true!
The body of Jesus broken for you!
Drink and Eat and be made full!
Receive life anew!
Our saviour is true.
Amen.
Grace Rhythm.
LORD, let us move to the rhythm of your Grace,
And to be intimately open to you,
To recognise your spiritual call on our lives,
And to travel together in mutual respect.
Discerning the movements of your spirit together.
And to follow the leadership of your loving spirit.
LORD, help us learn from our mistakes.
Let us be honest with ourselves
May we learn to put the past behind us;
Then remember not to do it again
May we know that we will make mistakes?
But be humble when we stumble in your ways.
May we ponder the path of our feet?
But, give us the assurance of your way
So we are sure that every choice that we make,
Will be in the pursuit of you.
LORD.
Amen.
You and I
You and I,
Could follow the stars in the sky,
We could climb the highest mountain.
But all I want is to rest in your loving arms.
You and I,
Could talk about the things we have done,
And the times I have spent with you,
But all that I want is to thank you for the life I’ve had.
You and I,
Could spend eternity together Side by side,
Living the fullest of lives together,
But all I want is to thank you for the dreams that I’ve seen come true through you.
You and I,
That’s all there is,
You and I,
LORD Just You and I.
AMEN
One Day
LORD,
If I could spend one day with you what would we do?
Maybe we could sit upon a mountian top
and make the morning sunbeams with our hands.
Or we could make the shapes with the clouds,
just keep people guessing!
We could float our time away without a care in the world,
Travelling wherever we please.
We could play hide and seek with the angels,
then try to catch their falling feathers as we make them laugh.
Together hand in hand we could walk through ruby red sky’s,
Or just sit and talk until the diamond stars come out,
We could make shooting stars fall and new constellations until dawn.
And then Together just you and me we could sleep until the morning song begins.
If I could spend one day with you what would we do?
I know it Would be fun!
Amen.
Passion
Help me to have passion,
Passion like yours,
Passion for the world around me,
Passion for those who are oppressed,
those in need, the lost, and the fearful.
May my passion be like yours.
Let your passion flow from me like a raging river of life.
Passion is all that I ask for lord, and all that I need.
Amen
Chameleon
I don’t want to be a chameleon Christian!
Hiding in the partial sight of life
Hoping no one will recognize!
No one will question.
Wanting to blend in!
Trying not to be seen,
By putting up a facade,
Hoping no one will challenge!
I want to be a in your face Christian!
Wearing all the colours of your rainbow!
Wearing them with confidence!
Pointing and shouting out about you!
I want to be a courageous Christian!
Wearing your badge with pride!
Fully fledged with faith!
Ready to take on the world!
Bring it on.
Amen.
