I Love You, Jesus, Savior, Lord

I love You, Jesus, Savior, Lord,
But not for what I gain
Of all the unimagined wealth
Of all Your vast domain.
I love You, Lord, but not in fear
As hell slips into view –
That endless, hopeless pain and death
Of never knowing You.

But Lord, You showed a love for me
That I could not deny.
Your agonizing death, O God –
I knew the guilt was mine.
You called my name. I heard Your voice
And saw You face to face.
A love and mercy flowed from You
That words could never trace.

So how can I but love You now,
My Savior and my Friend?
You pour out love I don’t deserve
And cannot comprehend.
I worship You, Almighty God,
And love You as I sing,
For You are Love and Life and Lord
And my Eternal King!

Hungry for a Word

2018-08-06 Devotional with Hymn No comments

Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. (John 6:68, NIV)

Loving Father,
Living Truth,
You speak to me—
to me, Lord God.

Is my heart listening?

My life is hungry
for a Word,
for a Song, with harmony,
for a Dance
that will let my body and soul,
my deepest desires and disjointed days,
move together
with joy and ease and music.

Dance with me, Lord;
dance with me.
Sing,
and I will move to the music.
Speak a Word,
One Living Word.
I am listening.

Listen and sing:

Who We Are in You

2018-08-03 Devotional Companion to Revelation, Devotional with Hymn No comments

A prayer response to Revelation 11:1-6,
the two witnesses

Father, we seem so small in this large and hostile world.

But You are Almighty God, and
we are Your presence here.
Make us Your light
in this dark place.
Make us Your truth
amid all this deception.
May we be Your healing touch
where so many are suffering.
May we glow with Your joy
in this world of shadow and sorrow.
Let us shine with the beauty of Your holiness
where all is twisted by evil.
O Lord, help us be
Your generous hand to those in need,
the breath of Your peace to those who fear, and
the good news of grace to all who are crushed by guilt.

As we live in Your Spirit,
we are Your people,
Your witnesses,
Your body,
Your temple,
Your holy bride.

O Father, keep us faithful to
who You are and
who we are in You.

Listen and sing:

I am always in Your heart,
I am in Your eye.
Though the storms may blow and rage
And the waters rise,
Lord, I know that You are love,
And my heart replies:
I will find all my joy in You.
Lord, I find all my joy in You.

You have put me where I am –
I will stand secure.
Though I cannot see ahead,
Every step is sure,
For Your presence is a light
That is clear and pure.
I will find all my joy in You.
Lord, I find all my joy in You.

Jesus, my life!
Jesus, my strength!
Jesus, my joy day to day!

I am always in Your heart,
I am in Your eye.
Though the storms may blow and rage
And the waters rise,
Lord, I know that You are love,
And my heart replies:
I will find all my joy in You.
Lord, I find all my joy in You.
