There Nothing Fades
Yes, our new heavenly home
All so perfect, and pure
Our eternal abode
And forever secure.
The Fig Tree
Not our knowledge, our ‘leaves’
Our sin, we can’t cover
For God sees our hearts
Any sweet fruit, to discover?
The Blessings of Surrender (Becoming ‘Good Soil’)
Yes, receive of God’s blessing
First surrender each part
Not the best of our flesh
First, our will and our heart.
That Innermost Place
Do you seek to withdraw
To that innermost place?
There, we step aside
Meet the God of all grace.
Taught by Trials
Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.
Take Time to be Holy
In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.
Take Me Deeper
Take me deeper, dear Lord
Beyond feelings and thought
Come fill with Your Spirit
To live, as I ought.
Striving, or Resting?
But, if our vision is great
Let us therefore, come boldly
To His throne of grace
To obtain mercy from God
Come wholly rest, in His grace.
Strengthen our Faith
But, if our vision is great
Believe God, is Almighty
Omnipotent, omniscient
Then our faith too, is mighty.
Sounds Strange!
So, our God allows trials
That our faith be tenacious
Great faith, be made complete
To be perfected, need patience.
