Help me Lord to focus solely on Thee!
Issues and challenges of Life come and go,
defining me with my soul’s scarred essence.
Yet I remain, beneath Your heavenly flow!

Allow Your Presence to wash over me,
removing all evidence of sins’ stains.
Continue breaking the ungodly links of…
the remnant of shackling, prisoner chains.

Open my eyes fully that I may see
the way You view me within Your Kingdom.
Let this divine, flooding confidence
gird me against… whatever may come.

Although Salvation, to me, was free;
I humbly acknowledge my Christ’s pain.
Now the force of faith surges within me,
while knowing that… it can never be feigned!

Have you envisioned
  our Lord upon The Cross?
Have you seen
  those considered lost?

Did you notice
  the absence of Grace?
Did you observe
  tears staining His face?

Can you imagine
  the agony of His pain?
Have you accepted the Gift
  of the Lamb that was slain?

On that day of crucifixion
  Love was brokenhearted
and divine reconciliation
  was quietly started.

Christ mourned the souls
  who chose the path of rejection
and was sadden by their ignorance
  of His personally offered Salvation.

Days before Resurrection Sunday
  the silent tears of Christ fell,
having glimpsed the future in which...
   numerous souls were separated by hell.

O Lord, I have purposed in my spirit
to sing of Your greatness and mercy!
Before You I humbly bow and kneel;
with my tongue, I exalt only Thee!

The enemy constantly surrounds me;
my joy they look to slyly steal.
You are my Maker and I’m the clay,
previously molded upon Thy Potter’s wheel.

Since Your words drip from my heart,
no longer can I remain silent.
Use me to write this poetry, filled…
with messages that are “heaven sent”.

Stand mightily over this blue planet,
let Your shadow cover this globe;
remind everyone of Your Presence;
clothe Your people with ecclesiastical robes.

Being one of Your Children, I too serve You,
as a sanctified priest of Your holy nation.
Knowing that my identity is found in You,
I’ll never consider yielding… my determination.

O my Lord, my eyes are fixed on you;
nothing else matters or blocks my view.
I’ve purposed to set my heart on Thee,
knowing that You have a vision for me.
Remove these silly, earthly distractions
that interfere with our intimate connection.
I’ve been released from shadows of anonymity;
my future is certain, bound solely by Thee.
My desired has been renewed with holy fire;
teach me even more, before my life transpires.
You continue to sustain me with Thy glorious light,
since I’m walking by faith and not by sight.
Salvation resonates with my heart’s inner chord
and I’ve wholly accepted Thy divine reward.
Thank You Lord, for this Wilderness experience,
as I now celebrate with an inner, bonfire dance.
Bring to my awareness an increased sensitivity,
regarding events of Your Kingdom’s activity.
Bless me with greater wisdom and understanding,
for my faith forever remains… unwavering.

I am surely blessed, knowing…
that God’s grace continues to flow;
for I’m sustained by His presence,
wherever I am or divinely go.

I refuse to be consumed by uncertainties;
for by His grace, all fears are relieved!
My faith will be evident within my life,
which started… when I first believed.

From promises of spiritual prosperity,
I thankfully in praise, raise my voice…
giving utterances of His sacred Word
in which this joyful soul now rejoices.

O Lord, holy is Your Name!
As one of Your many children,
my inheritance I openly claim.

Willingly I lift my voice in praise,
thankful for Your new mercies
and the warmth of the sun’s rays.

With genuineness of heart
and a simplicity of words,
I desire for Your kick start…

to begin this glorious day,
as I’m covered with blessings,
and faith’s fragrant bouquet!

Forgive me of my ignorance
and lack of spiritual understanding,
when I kneel before Your Presence.

Teach me Lord about true forgiveness;
etch its precepts into my heart;
allow me to remain covered by Thy holiness.

Bathe me with divine inspiration,
and cover me with Your Essence,
before I embrace… death’s cremation.

Thanks for meeting my earthly needs;
keep me focused on right priorities
and spreading your Word’s holy seed.

Help me share my poetic story
and touch the lives of others,
until I reach… Heaven’s glory.

As a Child of God, you’re blessed with favor,
since you’re a joint-heir with our Savior.
Don’t be ‘eaten up’ with unending discontent;
know that He has promised to keep His covenant!
So regardless of the latest, spiritual deluge,
in the Lord, you’ll always find safety and refuge.
Relief for your earthly suffering is coming,
provided to Him your heart-felt requests you bring.
Despite your painful past, your joy can be restored
when you humbly seek… the face of our blessed Lord.
Call unto Him now for your divine deliverance;
realize that His grace was already given in advance.
Allow Him to be your guide and inspiration;
be sure and be counted within His holy nation.
Love the Lord boldly without any restraints,
for His glory and purpose have no constraint.
So open your mouth and choose to loudly sing;
allow your praises for Christ to freely ring.
Faith is not an experience that can be skipped;
know that you are still… called to worship!
