He is awesome

He is awesome

My God is awesome!

His strength knows no bounds

All power is his, the kingdom is his.

He is the author of all things beautiful

Creator, maker, designer, king

His majesty is beyond imagining

His love is awesome; wonderful and strong

He is my God, I am his creation

My love for him is imperfect

Yet his love for me is unlimited

He is beautiful, majestic and merciful

He is worthy to receive all power and praise.

He is my saviour, redeemer and friend

just a couple more poems to send into cyber space

Just a couple more poems. One is my 'Creed' sort of what I believe. The other one is more how I feel at the moment. Which is like I am a work in progress and I can't see where God is taking me or what his plan is, so I am just trusting that God has a plan and is in control.

My creed

God: Mighty and awesome

Creator of all things, the heavens above

And the earth below

The giver and sustainer of life;

Merciful and loving beyond our comprehension

Patient, gentle and kind;

The giver of rest.

Powerful, strong and just

Invincible, omnipotent and strong;

Defender and avenger

Redeemer and deliverer

The lamb upon the throne,

Who suffered and died for us

Bearing our sins in his body

So we can live,

Who rose again victorious

The conqueror over sin and death

Who was and is and is to come,

Ever living – our God

Construction site

Lord, I am your construction site

You have said you will rebuild me

But right now it seems such a mess

Of rubble, dust and debris,

You have a masterplan for me

You are the great designer

So I will wait here patiently

Into your hands I surrender. 

It seems a long hard road to walk

As slowly you reveal things,

Or is it just my heart that’s slow?

To grasp and understand this

Lord, build me up, create in me

A heart where you can dwell

You are the master builder Lord

And you do all things well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank goodness God is greater

You  are greater

 

O Lord, be greater than me:

Greater than my depression,

Which often overwhelms me

Greater than my fear,

Which cripples me

Greater than my understanding,

Which limits me

You are greater Lord

Greater than my condemning heart

Your love is greater Lord

Than my ability to receive it

Your mercy is greater Lord

Than my unworthiness

Lord, in your greatness

Surround and fill me

In your greatness

O Lord, be my God.

Thank you Lord that you are

Greater than my heart

 To be a butterfly 

Just a glimpse, Lord

Of what it would be like

To be free of depression

To be a butterfly

Not to be struggling, Lord

With this heavy heart

What would it feel like?

To have a happy heart

I want to see you near 

Jesus, I want to see you near

I want to feel your touch;

I want to know that you are real

I need you Lord so much.

Not just imagine an idea

Or make up words from you,

Not dream and wish and hope in vain,

I want to know you’re true.

Please walk beside me Lord I pray

Be all around me too,

Please fill my heart, my mind, my life

Help me to live with you.

Thank you 

We come to you with all our needs

Thank you Lord for hearing

We come to you with hurting hearts

Thank you Lord for healing

We come to you in all our sin

Thank you for forgiving

We come to you unworthily

Thank you Lord for loving 

Thank you for your patience

Thank you for your grace

Thank you Lord for answered prayers

Thanks for your safe embrace

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Morning thoughts

Mornings

 

The morning comes, I wake from busy dreams

And with the morning I recognise futility

I don’t want to start another day

Heaviness clouds my heart and mind

Tears of desperation flow.

Morning is when I want to run away

To give up, disappear and hide

Not face up to another day,

I have no purpose, all hope feels lost

I am useless, a burden – I would be no loss.

So I fall to my knees again in tears of despair

And I turn to your Word again, to find some hope there.

I quietly sit in tears at your feet

Broken, defeated at your mercy seat

And it’s there that I find the strength to go on

My hand in yours, you can lead because you are strong

Speak to my heart again

 

 

Lord speak to my heart again

May I hear your gentle whisper

Let me understand once more

Your words of life and love and hope

Quieten down my fretful heart Lord

Still the worries and the fears,

Open up my understanding

So I can hear your voice again. 

May your spirit come and fill me

Write your will upon my heart,

Shine through the cracks and flaws Lord

Guide me always by your love.

Help me put my trust in you Lord

Know you hold me by the hand,

Let me follow where your lead Lord

My life is under your command. 

Teach me, heal me, keep and guide me

For I’m often prone to stray

Keep my feet upon your path Lord

Hold me firmly in your way.

 

 

A cry from my heart and a promise from God

Just a couple more poems from me.

I cry out again 

Lord, I’m scared

I’m paralysed with fear

All hope has fled

All joy has vanished.

I cry out to you again.

Oh Lord please hear me

Forgive me, cleanse me

Have your victory

Restore my soul

Lead me in your way

Please take my hand

Strengthen my feeble heart

Guide me, Lord, I pray.

For you alone are God

You have all power

The victory is yours

Do not abandon me I pray.

His promise

I will shelter and protect you

I will never fail you

This is my promise to you.

Though you feel you are failing

My arms will support you

My strength will sustain you,

My child, do not fret or worry

I know you through and through

I will be with you

I will have the victory

I will not leave.

Be strong in me when you have no strength

Be secure in me when you are feeling weak

Be safe in me when the storm surrounds

Be at peace in me when your are troubled

For I am here beside you

I love you my child

Be still, be sure, be strong

He will have the victory

Ref Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight

 

 

He will have the victory

 

He will have the victory

In your troubled heart

His hand can move the nations

Trust Him for your small part

 

He’s promised not to leave you

His love is ever true

Although you feel you’re failing

His arms will uplift you

 

Surrender now your burdens

Submit to His good will

Let go of that which troubles

Breathe deeply and be still

 

For God is strong and able

He knows the path ahead

He’s promised He will lead you

You’ll be safe where He has led
