God keeps His promises, His word Archives - Page 12 of 25

Poor in Spirit?

Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.

Jesus taught how to be
In our attitudes, our nature
What to strive for, as goals
Become like our Creator.

So, acknowledge our blame
Whenever, we succumb
To wrong lusts, and desires
Repent, seeking God’s Son.

He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.

With my heart, ever hungry
Am so thirsty Lord, for You
So desiring, Your Presence
Your Word, is ever true.

Let my cry come
Before You, O LORD
Give me understanding
According to Your Word.

For I rejoice at Your word
As one finding, great treasure.
I hate, and abhor lying
But love Your law, my greatest pleasure.

LORD, look and consider
My affliction, and deliver me
For I do not forget
Your law, set me free.

All Your commands are true
Concerning Your testimonies
I have known, of old
You have founded them, forever.

Trouble and anguish, found me
Yet Your commands, are my delight
Everlasting, Your righteous testimonies
Bring understanding, and revive.
