A Key to Suffering

For our focus is body
But God speaks to the soul
Our faith, His redemption
These make a man whole.

Is Your Heart Circumcised?

Be repentant, not rebellious
Obedient, His Spirit-filled
Submitted, not stubborn
Seek God, not self-willed.

Trials- a Blessing or Curse?

For our Father, the vine-dresser
Is pruning, discarding
As branches, of His vine
For more fruit…keep abiding.

Tools God Uses

And so, despite facing testing
Know ‘tis but for a while
In the end, greater glory
So greet with joy, every trial.

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.

Take Time to be Holy

In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.

Set us on Fire

To be fuel, for Your fire
May this light, burn bright
As a beacon of hope
So lost souls, find sight.

Send The Fire

Come fill, and anoint us
Rooted, grounded in love
Comprehending the greatness
Of Jesus love, from above.

Send The Fire, LORD

LORD God, send the fire
Upon us we pray
Hourly, and daily
Purify, have Your way.
