A Controlling Spirit

You find a deep need;
To have your own way;
So, the plans of all others;
Must follow your say.

Will We Obey?

Yet many churches, too clergy centered
The ‘Lay-people’, passive spectators
In church activities, weekly rituals
But not discipled, equipped as laborers.

Not Just a Branch

With no beauty in us
But the fruit that we bear
Keep abiding and growing
That God’s glory we share.

Delight Yourself in the LORD

Do we so, desire God;
To awaken, and fill us;
Are we hungry, and thirsty;
To draw nearer, to Jesus?

Suffering and God’s Sovereignty

Yes, God promises us His grace;
Sufficient, for our hour;
His strength, is made perfect;
In our weakness, His power.

Don’t Succumb!

So listen not, to your feelings;
No dark thoughts, in your mind;
Set your heart, and call on Jesus;
Claim His Word, in prayer remind.

Comforts and Compromise

With our freedoms and rights;
We so soon, are self-serving;
Then in place of surrender;
We’re caught up, with our yearnings.

Deny Self, Take Up Our Cross

So favorite lusts, carnal desires
Will find no place, in our heart
That God’s Spirit, fill within
Rules and reigns, in every part.
So favorite lusts, carnal desires;
Will find no place, in our heart;
That God’s Spirit, fill within;
Rules and reigns, in every part.

Dying to Self

Since now our life, is not our own;
We are created, and redeemed;
Not to succumb, to selfish wants;
But daily live, with God esteemed.

See Daily Victory!

Here, Jesus tells us the key;
To see victory, each day;
That we walk, in His Spirit;
Not our fleshly, carnal way.
