Before The Throne of God

Before the Throne of God

I come, I come

What a glorious place to be

Beholding the Face

Of the One Who paid it all for me

Mesmerized by His grace

I collapse into a puddle of tears

Thanking the One Who paid it all for me

Thoughts of shame roll through my mind

Yet the One Who paid it all for me says,

” It is finished. Your sins are no more

They are gone from My memory

Because I paid the price of death and separation

On the cross. So, you listen and mention them NO MORE.

Rejoice In This Day

Rejoice in this new day

For He has made it new for you

A new day to walk in His ways

A new day to glean wisdom from His written Word

A new day full of new possibilities

A new day to thank Him for all He has done

And all He will continue to do

For His loving-kindness is new every morning

His joy satisfies the heart

Until it overflows the banks

Reaching out to the depressed and oppressed this day

Sing, shout and clap your hands

For He has made all things new

Something Is Stirring

Something is stirring

In my heart

I can feel it

I can feel it

Rising up and out of me

Praise and adoration

Flow from within my heart

To my lips and then out

Once more

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

My heart praises

The lord of all heaven and earth

What could I measure or could compare

To the bliss of knowing Christ

And letting Him live in me

So that all may see

That You are indeed God

 

Clouded

Clouded in mystery

The divine Triune God

Father, Son, and Spirit

Chose and created me

To live in this point in history

He is the Author and Perfector

The true and only wise God

I love Him with all my heart

Come and join me

In worshiping the Lord

Creator, and King

Simply Beautiful

Created in God’s image

His Spirit dwelling inside of you

Yet you wonder why me

Why did God choose me

I wonder that myself from time to time

But God always reminds

I am His creation

Beautiful in His sight

And chosen to carry out

His plan for my life

Ever since I was a little girl

I wanted to be a princess

In my father’s eyes

But sadly he mistook

Beauty for his own pleasure

And marred my beautiful frame

I also added to the marred image

By heaping insults, guilt,  unforgiveness and the like

Into my soul

Until one day I could no longer tolerate it

I had built up years of anger and became destructive

Then God’s love like a piercing arrow came through my heart

Fearful of HIM I wanted to hide

But He said, “Your beautiful in My Eyes”

He directed me to Read Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 29:11

What cast an ugly shadow in my heart

Was now out in the open of the God of the universe

Forgiveness a daily journey

Has become One that has brought such unremarkable peace

Into my life

I now want to share with you

It is Jesus that makes a Princess

For I have been adopted into His family

And Now I am a Daughter and Princess of The Most High

Lord, I praise Your holy Name

Which is above every Name in Heaven and Earth

Because In You I am simply beautiful

Enter His Presence

Come

Enter His presence

With singing and dancing

Let not your heart faint

From the dreariness of the day

But rejoice in the God

Of your salvation

Come

Lay your burdens at His feet

And leave them there

For He will give you peace

While you rest in His presence

Set My Mind

Set my mind

On the Living One

Christ Jesus

Who bore the shame

Of my sin upon Himself

As He was crucified

He ransomed me

From eternal death

How could I not

Sing praise to

Him who overcame

The grave

And will return again someday

Teach Me

Teach me

Teach me

Your way, Oh Lord, my salvation

Teach me

Teach me

So that I may walk

In Your truth

Teach me

Teach me

To have an undivided heart

To fear and honor Your Name

In this dry and weary world

Let not my heart

Cease to give You praise

 

Jesus, You Are

Jesus You are

My light in the darkness

Jesus You are

My hope and my Shield

Jesus You are

Life everlasting

Where Your love abounds

The devil holds no ground

Where Your peace reigns

Where Your Name is proclaimed

The devil flees

So, I praise you Jesus

God of all of me.

Creation

Trembling

Trembling

Do you feel the earth

Trembling beneath your feet?

Do you hear the sound of the ocean waves

Crashing upon the shore?

Do you feel the desire

To praise the Master Craftsman

For the masterpiece we live in?

His Name is Jesus

His Name is power

Speak and proclaim

His name among the nations

Here in His masterpiece!
