Where's the gift I've given you
Have you got it wrapped away
Lying dormant, growing cold
Waiting for the heat of day
To open it upon a world
Crying out for what you've got
Special gift of love from Me
You I've trusted, have I not
To walk where Jesus loved to tread
Among the ones that you avoid
You turn your head when you see need
Does it make you feel annoyed
To hear the endless cries for help
You close your ears and walk ahead
But just like Matthew 25
I will judge your pride instead.
If you ever need a friend
One who's with you to the end
Never ever lets you down
Even though He wears a crown
Loves to place you at the top
You're the finest of His crop
Always there through thick and thin
Full forgiveness of your sin
He's the one who you must choose
Play His way, you just can't lose
Jesus is the One for all
Answer when He makes the call.
My people have forsaken Me
They do not want My power
They'd rather live their fruitless lives
Inside their ivory towers
Jesus has been relegated
Just like long ago
Despite His sacrifice for man
They do not want to know.
But love like Mine does not recede
It plays a waiting game
And in their lives I will succeed
If they will take the blame
For thinking that they know it all
And that I cannot heal
The fragile lives they tremble in
My power I will reveal.
It’s clouding every minute
Of each and every day
I cannot get away from it
Even when I pray
This cloak of unforgiveness
Is shrouding everything
And though I know the answer
It’s continuing to cling
I know I should remember
With all my sins forgiven
That I should do the same in You
But all my rage is driven
By someones interference
In matters of my heart
Continuing to plague my mind
With it, I cannot part.
It’s me who’s got the bother
And not the guilty party
If only they could share my pain
I’d feel more hale and hearty
Bitterness is a poison
I’m choking up inside
The devils’ got me where he wants
On me, he wants to ride.
This heavy weight is crushing me
I can’t go on much longer
Can You help me stop this rot
In You, my love grow stronger
A step of faith I’d like to make
Perhaps this is the one
So through You I forgive my friend
And peace to everyone.
I'm floating on the raft of God
And I have yet to sink
He's there to aid my buoyancy
And keep me in the pink
No matter what the problem
As long as I stay calm
He'll rescue me from waters deep
Just like a soothing balm.
No matter what the mountain is
I know I have to climb
And as the air gets rarefied
I breathe with Him in time
Surmounting all these obstacles
Can be achieved, it's true
But only with the help of God
To whom the honours due.
Despite the fact that we are flawed
He knew there was a chance
That what He had created
Would awaken from their trance
To realise their present life
Contained an empty space
That nothing in the world could fill
Till Jesus took first place.
So, if you are wondering
Why nothing that you do
Can bring an all consuming peace
Then maybe it is true
Until you seek The Son of God
And ask Him to reside
Your life will never reach the heights
That God meant to provide.
I see you're sitting on the fence,
You've been there for quite a while,
The straining grimace on your face,
The absence of a trace of smile,
You can't fall backwards,that's a sin,
Forwards is a step too far,
Humanness is pulling strings,
Locked inside an endless jar.
Do you trust an unseen God?
Do you free fall into space?
Have you nothing left to lose?
Only you know what's the case,
Eerie whispers put you down,
You're too sad to have a life,
You'll forever have that frown,
Drowning in a sea of strife.
Break out now,don't let him win,
You have the power from God within,
Fighting daily for your cause,
Wills you forward with applause,
Love is waiting to command,
All the darkness deep within,
Reach out to the unseen hand,
Walk together,conquer sin.
Your Word is said to be a lamp
That shines upon my feet
But it is pretty dark down there
When obstacles I meet
Perhaps I should be charging up
The batteries that power
Your light which shows me how to get
Through every rock and flower.
For there are many benefits
From studying Your book
A clearer talk, a closer walk
Why don't I take a look?
Decide to give You lots of space
So we could finally meet
And in those times we could decide
Direction for my feet.
Fear is the key that locks our heart
Against the word of God
It's keeper is the devil
Who wants to prise apart
That special bond of Christian love
The Spirit has helped form
The sacrifice of Jesus
Has kept us from the storm.
How much longer will you wait
Before we give our all
To come under authority
Or do we want to fall
It's do or die time, I'm afraid
So listen for the call
He is here among us
Are we ready to stand tall.
Let us come together
Those who are or aren't
To form a solid body
Against the prince of doubt
Open to refining, lots of love about
Strengthened by The Spirit
We have lots of clout
Praise to The Father. Glory to The Son
We can do His bidding
That means EVERYONE.
A match took place the other day
Between two sides of fate
It wasn't on the tele
Cause they didn't know the date
Eleven cranky demons
With satan in their goal
Were up against the Christians
With Jesus saving souls.
The game kicked off, the demons surged
And almost scored a goal
The Christians bound the inside left
Who tripped up on a mole
The holy brethren got the soul
And up the pitch they ran
Several demons in the way
And one went for his man
He tripped the player in the box
A penalty was given
The soul was placed upon the spot
At satan he was driven
The devil dived unto his left
The soul went to his right
And joined the throng of heavenly host
To cheers of 'That was tight `.
So when you're walking in The Light
Along the narrow way
And satans' trying to pull you off
By means of foulest play
Remember that you have the power
To tell him where to go
Continue looking to The Light
And reach your heavenly goal.
Faith is believing
That the One you cannot see
Is going to turn your life around
Eventually
Give Him full access to
The parts you want to hide
And with His help you'll notice
That the pain, it will subside
For He is love and gentleness
Who wouldn't hurt a fly
And has the power to overcome
The chains that bind and tie
So if you're trembling at the thought
Of moving off your shelf
Just recognize the healing way
He moves about yourself.
Behind the crumbling old facade
The scaffolding is rife
A loving surgeon prunes away
So careful with His knife
Years of fear and bitterness
Fall gently to the floor
Darkness fading into light
Patient one there's more.
Jesus died that we may live
He wants us to be free
Pruning cuts out all decay
That hampers you and me
We may never reach the end
There's so much more to do
Let Him carry on the job
It's well worth going through.
Just to be with me, You gave everything
To be like me, You came to earth
You lived my life among humanity
And no one gave You worth
You suffered greatly at the hands
Of those You came to save
And then collecting all our sins
You took them to the grave.
Defeating death and satans grip
You rose to set me free
From all the shackles of this earth
And all infirmity
So that You could be with me
And call me, dearest friend
I am Your special chosen one
Eternally , Amen.
