My Deepest Concern

Jesus 

My deepest concern is falling short of what You see for me.

To not be able to measure up to what You now expect 

I worry about my mistakes and failures so nervously 

It's hard for me to comprehend or determine what's next.

But then I can hear a voice so softly whisper in my ear

My forgiveness and mercy will cover it all completely 

You are my breathtaking creation the I hold so dear 

Recall that You are and will always be the greatest part of me.

It was at that point my tears stopped and I said 'help me more '

You showed me I was forgiven and a new life had begun 

Savior I didn't realize the miracles You had in store 

You are my light of hope and promise until the day is done.

So I raised my head and took Your hands not knowing what I would find 

My deepest concerns were quickly replaced by perfect peace so true 

You are my tranquility for spirit, body, soul and mind 

Thank You for forgiving me and working to make me brand new!

Teach Me To See With My Heart...

Jesus....

As I come before You on bended knee, I ask with a humbled heart so true 

Teach me to envision all things so clearly, with preciseness and wondrous sweet grace 

So that I may bring honor and make every effort to be exactly like You 

That others may see the pure perfect love that I see always in Your face.

As I come before You teach me the real meaning of 'from the heart ', in every way...

That I may see things with the real beauty deep within so grand 

Help me to be a blessing to enlighten the moments of each new day 

I await miracles as I watch the unfolding of Your mighty hands.

As I come before You teach me what Heaven's definition truly entails....

Envisioning in all points as only You can do 

So reflecting my Savior's majesty in all things will always prevail 

My Savior when I look at all things through the eyes of the heart I resemble You!

Kingdom Joy

Jesus....

When the sadness of everything around me tries to grip my heart too.....

And I don't feel like doing much of anything or happiness 😊 

I want to give up on all of my tasks for now and each moment through 

And know that no matter how hard I try it will not be my best.

Suddenly a real burst of sunshine tries

 to touch and comfort me.....

I could feel something working hard trying to get to all things new 

The greatest thing I could imagine is what my heart could see 

Kingdom Joy was being restored through Your love in all I do.

I was being made into a star for Your Kingdom, more and more...

As new blessings were being developed by Your majestic hands 

My heart could not wait to see all of the wondrous things in store 

And the beautiful outcomes of Your most Heavenly new plans.

Suddenly a screen of hope was being aired with urgency.....

I was being rebirthed and becoming more and more like You 

Looking at Your presence and in Your will is where I should be 

My Savior I want Kingdom Joy in everything I do!

The Little Metal Box

Jesus.....

It's small and compact, made from love's beauty and gentle, sweet grace 

Simple, plain, and pleasant to look at, yet, complex too

It didn't have any compartments and was lacking on space.

Yet, it could hold many components that would have to pass through.

It had no detail or intrinsic value outside at all 

Yet, it was worth more than the mind or the heart could ever contain 

It is available at any time when the spirit calls, 

and tries to help lessen the pain.

It is an instrument for a heart that's strong on faith and trust.....

Knowing without a doubt that You are there and always in control 

Resting on a great bond and real prayer life which is a strong must

To having a Christian walk that is wholesome, complete and whole.

It is very simple and straightforward to follow and see.....

You place all needs and concerns in the box and seal it really tight 

And in Your minds eye place it before You Lord so perfectly 

Knowing that You would have it forever in Your mighty sight.

There is no need to worry or concern for it anymore.....

For You would take care of every need and worry so true 

Then return it refreshed and restored to my waiting heart's core 

Open and overflowing with miracles that came from You.

Now, I didn't have to be concerned so healing took its place....

And I have an even powerful connection Lord to thee

Praising You and thanking You as I strengthen our embrace 

Even closer to Your anointing is where I want to be.

So I will try to use the needs box every day with delight....

Knowing that it reminds me to always give up my control 

And You will make things better by Your mighty power and might 

Then return the box to me ready to give blessings untold!

A Tool Of Glory

My Savior 

I open the door of my heart so decisively and true 

And let my greatest pure love flow so perfectly everywhere 

Savior I rededicate my heart and life now unto You 

Placing all that I am into Your creative hands and care.

Take every broken piece and empty space with peace and glory 

Begin Your miracle touch with wonderful joy and delight 

Start to weave and craft a very special brand new story

Creating a masterpiece and special tool through Your sweet sight.

Begin to plant the seeds of Your presence to blossom and grow 

Creating something wonderful that makes a difference so grand 

And introduce Your spirit and anointing for all to know 

As beauty and great things slowly begin to flow from Your hands.

Continue working and making me a tool of Your glory 

Let me sing of Your sweet praises and wonder forevermore 

May the great vision of Your power always be before me 

Jesus let me be Your tool with Your presence at my heart's core.

My Breathtaking Jacket Of Life

My Jesus....

I take only a few steps and I can feel the altering, bitter cold ❄️ all around me...

It takes hold of all of the delight within me as I tremble, 🥶 shiver and shake 

I start to fill with fear and doubt as pure uncertainty is all I see

How could I continue on when there wasn't much more of this that I could feel and take.

Suddenly, tears began to stream from my eyes as I fell to my knees with many cares.....

I didn't know which way to turn or what I was going to do to move and succeed

Just then, I could hear a whisper when there wasn't much more that I could bear

I didn't pay much attention in my pain, I only wanted to soon be free.

The whisper became louder calling my name with a power so mighty and grand.....

I stopped and tried to listen all that I could as I shivered so mightily 

I could feel a jacket being placed on my shoulders by two very powerful hands 

As He began to tell me that every part of it was unique and made just for me.

Part of me didn't want to believe that what I was seeing and feeling as ever true....

Yet, the warmth that I was beginning to feel was wonderful and hard to deny

The voice whispered further 'I will be here to take care of you and love you each day through '

I began to fill with tenderness as my eyes filled with tears and I cried.

Each woven square had detail of the person that I am and who I would be....

It had the story of the bond we would share every moment and each day through 

At that point, I fell to my knees and gave thanks for such grace happily 

As He lifted me up and continued the love 💕 story with hope and grandeur so true.

As I looked at the jacket, it was even more breathtaking than ever before...

I rededicated my heart and life to Him and everything for each new day 

For whenever I need special love and care I just look within at my heart's core 

I will never feel cold ❄️ and alone because my breathtaking jacket is not far away!

When I Reach Out For Your Hands

My Jesus...

The wind seems to be blowing with such power and might all around me 

Fear and uncertainty are now taking a deeply powerful hold 

Having all of this confusion there is not much more that I see

I begin looking for real answers and tranquil peace for my heart untold.

I look up amidst all the noise and there You are reaching for me 

There is a beautiful smile of understanding upon Your face 

You call and ask me to come to You so bravely

Your arms are open wide ready to take me into Your embrace.

I try to step out calling upon everything that I can with strength so true 

I look around and the fear inside of me starts to take its place 

I begin to lose that brilliant light that is strong from You 

And a look of fear and doubt slowly begin to fill my face.

At that moment, You raise Your sweet arms and the wind begins to slow 

Your most beautiful smile and hope radiate everywhere 

Through all glory there's something that You definitely want me to know 

You will always take care of me with a promise that's always there.

I begin to start again and make my journey to You 

This time I can feel a deep force of love so grand 

You reach out more powerfully with great tools that will now see me through 

And I can make it through by the power of Your hands.

So when the wind begins to blow strongly in my direction again 

Together I don't have to be afraid but make it by true grace 

I can face all elements with my Savior and true friend 

All fear is disappearing as You put it in its place.
