Facing Disasters

“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”
“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”
Fall upon me and fill me!

Do you yearn to draw nearer
So filled, by God’s Spirit?
Take this vessel, so faulty
Come restore LORD, and fill it.
Adversity? – God means it for good

And so, no matter our lot
Walk by faith, and not sight
Cling to God’s Word, His grace
Midst our darkness, His light.
Our ‘Flesh’ has to Die

So have we died with Christ
Our flesh on the Cross?
Are we carnal and selfish
Or count all things as loss?
Sealed, Stamped, Secured by Christ

Since we were purchased, by His blood
The price, now fully paid
Sealed and stamped for eternity
We’re counted righteous, be not afraid.
God Restores

“To revive the spirit, of the humble
Revive the heart, of those contrite”
Our Master Potter, can reshape
We His clay, remold aright.
Our Personal Baggage

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.
Our Father in Heaven

Jesus taught us to pray
To our Father in heaven
For His kingdom and will
And not living, for leaven.
Shame-Blame Cycle

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.
Be Filled, with Christ’s Love

Such love, that passes knowledge
With which, you may be filled
With all the fullness of God
Through His Spirit, be fulfilled.
