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.

Grow Our Faith in God

So, grow your faith, pleasing God;
Open wide your mouth, Lord fill it;
Believing God, is all able;
For Your glory, send Your Spirit!

Heart Disease

But many sadly, stay hard-hearted;
Wanting only, their will and way;
So they reject, keep refusing;
As they rebel, and disobey.

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.

A Healthy Heart?

A heart in God’s people;
To be discipled, and go;
To make disciples, multiplying;
That all peoples may know.

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.

OUR FAITH: CERTAIN or DOUBTING?

His certain faith, no needed visit;
His certain faith, no needed touch;
His certain faith, just Jesus’ word;
Have certain faith…let us trust!

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.
