Most men seek salvation through all the wrong things
My conscience cried out, “You’re guilty you know!”
I thought to find relief if to others I would go.
I worked with fervor both day and night
To rid this guilty soul of it’s powerless flight.
The law with its threatening burned deep in my soul,
But the works I pursued only brought me more woe.
I thought this work was not so bad.
If I persevered, I would someday be glad.
Christ and the law were my constant plea,
But His grace and mercy I could not see.
My accuser grew bolder, my conscience you see.
Not realizing the devil was working in me.
It was not the law that was my principle fight,
But sin deep within that was causing this plight.
The law with its threat powerfully worked with my sin.
My body grew weak and my will would not bend.
I lay in my bed unable to speak;
I thought I’d try to fall fast asleep.
If I could stop thinking I might find a way,
But thinking and eating are my only stay.
I thought sin and law were my greatest foe,
But work for salvation was a greater woe.
I went so far down, I had nothing to plea.
Only Christ is the answer to set my soul free.
He died in my place to free me from sin.
Grace and the law are now my best friends.
The law with its threatening is gracious you see.
I see my precious Savior punished for me.
Most men seek salvation through all the wrong things,
But Christ is the Savior on which you can cling.
O Sovereign God, O Gracious Father!
Your salvation is free, you are the potter!
O precious blood, O love divine
Come Holy Spirit and show me He’s mine!
Take Up Your Cross
I’m down in this dungeon of sin and shame. Shouting,
I am the one!
I am the one!
The Spirit is near, His presence I feel, he whispers softly,
Be still my son.
Be still my son.
My soul with its sin has lingered in shame, I say
O, how long?
O, how long?
My heart is hard, I search for His face.
Don’t make me wait!
Don’t make me wait!
His look pierces my soul with His glory so bright, Beaming,
I took your place!
I took your place!
It’s late at night here on my bed. With tears in my eyes I cry,
Have mercy on me!
Have mercy on me!
His Spirit is sweet, He’s speaking to me..
Jesus you need!
Jesus you need!
O, wonderful love! O, priceless blood! I say to myself,
Just cling to the cross!
Just cling to the cross!
My Savior draws near. His two natures are there .With His word in
my heart. He whispers to me.
You’ll suffer loss.
You’ll suffer loss.
So take up your cross.
Just take up your cross.

God’s Rainbow of Love
The mind is like a rainbow of colors.
The thoughts of it go from one to another.
It perceives thoughts one by one,
But is blinded to the place from which they come.
Sin is like a storm that rises in the day,
To cover its colors and send its thoughts in array.
The soul is in awe of all the minds colors,
But sin rumbles in and sends them to another.
Its thoughts held captive to that earth sent angel.
The colors all muted its thoughts entangled.
A storm day and night to hide its rays.
Is a ploy of Satan to destroy it one day.
The winds of the Spirit blow in from above,
To open the rainbow and shine forth Gods love.
A mind with new life is a glorious light.
The Spirit of which has ended sins might.
With colors renewed, it’s the minds glorious sight.
A sign that the Lord has become its delight.
The throne of God, like the brightest rainbow of colors,
Shines down pure thoughts allied to no other.
It’s the mind of Christ, loves purest light.
Shines red then white, His heavenly abode, our future flight.
To soar up above past the rainbow of lights,
And bow before His throne will be its highest delight.
O Light of the Glorious God, O light of the Eternal one
My minds Ruby of Love, Christ Jesus His Son.

0 Lord of Light
0 Lord of Light, we look to you.
Your love comes forth so strong and true.
Come, Holy Spirit, like heavenly dew,
And fill our hearts, with Your love anew.
O how long, O Heavenly Redeemer?
How long, O Spirit Divine?
Revive us once again! Revive us once again!
So that your people may rejoice in Him.
The light around me is so dim.
My sin, my heart seems dark within.
O Lord of Light, I look to You.
My sinful heart You will renew.
Come Holy Spirit! Come Heavenly Dove!
And fill our hearts anew.
Revive us once again! Revive us once again!
So that Your people may rejoice in Him.
Your forgiveness is for those who wait.
Your life You gave for sin You hate.
O Lord of Light, we look to You.
May Your Spirit search our hearts anew?
Our God Who Sits Enthroned Above
Our God who sits enthroned above,
And stoops to look on those He loves.
We meditate with heaven in mind,
Enraptured with wonder outside of time.
O Sovereign God!
O Lord Most High!
We kneel before Thy holy throne.
We cry, Abba, Father! We adore Thee!
Our prayers are weak, Your Spirit so strong.
You help us to have a heavenly song.
The river, that flows down from Your throne,
Is the Spirit of Wonder Who makes You known.
We drink of the water of Your Spirit Divine.
He’s come from heaven enlightening our minds.
So we can know of our Fathers heavenly love,
And be taken one day to our home above

My wife
As I gaze into her eyes i am drawn into her world
A youthful desire of sweet contemplation
All of my cares get lost in her gaze
Quietly i long to remain under her spell
Drawn out of time, lost in her eyes
I breathe unending sweet longings
wow that reads like I felt when I first saw my wife
|
Sweet memories of my wife
Loathing around in time with unfulfilled desires
Lost from the world of breath taking sweet calmness
Her looks of innocence long remembered
Make my despairs a happy endurance
Lost in her eyes , a spell to endure
Sweet longings console this love sick heart
Bright light of eternal glory shines into depths of mens souls
Inward pangs of sins tempest darken the flashes of hope.
Yea , all of mankind are a driven in this sea to struggle ,tossed by the waves of fear,
Nay, in the tumultuous ocean, glimmering lights can ne'er stay afloat.
The wayfaring Dove , calms the fear of the storms tempest
Eyes in the distance the horizon of Gods unmeasurable love
Heavens consolations shine bright lights into the souls tempest
Held beneath the storms tempest, escapes on the wings of the Dove.

"The Psalms put everything that is in all
the Bible most beautifully and briefly, and is made an Enchiridion, or
handbook, so that I have a notion that the Holy Ghost wanted to take the
trouble to compile a short Bible and example-book of all Christendom,
or of all saints." Luther
