The Power of Prayer

 

Dear Lord,

    Let your love shower down on me.

    Your face is what I want to see.

    Lord, my faith is so strong.

    I feel I can do no wrong.

 

    Nobody is perfect, but that is okay,

    Everybody does not pray.

    They have their own way,

    That is okay.

 

    Some listen to praise music.

    Some sing praise music.

    Some write.

    Some just pray.

 

    Our God is awesome.

    He hears us no matter where we pray.

Everybody has his or her own say.

God hears us anyway.

 

God I listen to You,

With all of my heart.

With all of my love.

I worship you!

 

You lift my soul to the Heavens.

You give me my own wings.

You allow me to sing.

Lord, You have my dream.

 

Many years ago,

You did the same for us.

You have always let people grow.

You sent us Jesus.

 

Lord, You are so Holy.

We can never say too much.

With your tender touch

You heal the broken heart.

 

Lord, You are the First wonder of the world.

Nothing can compare,

To the greatness that we share.

So powerful is the power of prayer.

Mercy and Grace

 

Sometimes my heart feels so displaced

My faith feels like it has gone away.

All I can do is get on my knees and pray.

God, I just ask for your Mercy and Grace.

 

Lord, it is you that I look too.

I raise my hands to praise You.

I reach to the Heavens and sing.

The Heavens declare You the King.

 

Lord, I breathe You in.

Take away my sin.

I look to You for peace.

It only comes from him.

 

Your faithfulness is so true.

I only look to You.

Your arms surround me.

You are the power, this I see.

 

So many times, we want it our way.

God says, "you must pray,

And I will help you in my time.

Have faith, everything will be fine."

 

Do not rush your life,

You are not going anywhere.

If you leave,

You will be with me.

 

Lord, when I reach out,

Your presence makes me want to shout.

I tell everybody I can about You.

I know now, that is what I am to do.

 

I will witness and I will be true.

Everybody needs to know you.

If they do not.

I will keep trying, that is what I will do.

 

I will only do this for You.

O'Lord, I exalt You

Lord, I give you all of my praise.

Your word is the only thing that is true.

Know the Sacrifice

 

Behind the tattered robe,

Is the greatest story ever told.

What He did for man,

Some people will never understand.

 

Those that do,

Know the Sacrifice.

Your blood dripped from the Cross.

It will never be lost.

 

It is captured forever.

Through the end of time.

It will wash the sin away.

No longer will we be held at bay.

 

"Lord why have you forsaken me?"

"My Son, it is meant to be.

We must cleanse the Earth of sin."

"My Son, sacrifice your self, it is time to check in."

 

His cries were heard through out the Land.

His death allows us to make a stand.

Glory to the man who saves us.

Glory to our Lord Jesus.

 

Never could I imagine the suffering.

The Pain that You felt

The blood running into your eyes,

It crushes my heart . . . . . . . makes me cry.

 

Looking to the Heavens

You were so helpless.

Knowing you were going to die.

Yet, you did not fight back.

 

You were on the cross

Your spirit not broken.

Your Father has spoken.

"You are not lost."

 

"My Son, come be with me.

That is the prophecy.

That is what is meant to be,

You will be my legacy."

The Pendulum of Time

 

The Pendulum of time cuts both ways.

No one is exempt from this.

When two people split that is not God's plan.

Divorce is tough on every woman and every man.

 

God is strong and he gives me a way out.

God is so powerful, he has so much clout.

I know he will see me through my stress.

He will rise and take me from the darkness.

 

God is the light.

Listen to him and everything will be alright.

Sometimes you have to be in pain before you grow.

God has shown me . . . . . this I know.

 

I am in constant training with my walk with God

When I praise him, he gives me a nod.

The bible is my training book.

I keep it with me when I need a look.

 

When I hurt or just need advice.

Read in the bible more than twice.

So much wisdom is in this book.

It never matters where I look.

The Candle of Eternity

I look for the caretaker

Who is the almighty maker?

The God who stuck by my side in my time of need.

He has allowed me to re-sow my seed.

 

He keeps my spirit alive and well,

Because of the Lord I will do nothing but excel.

I look for every opportunity that I can.

I will become a Man of God . . . . A Righteous Man.

 

He is with me in my time of sorrow.

If you ever need a little faith don't borrow

God will give what you need.

Look to the Heavens for God's Speed.

 

Many of my problems are caused by my will.

It is no wonder why sometimes my life stands still.

Having God in my soul, there is nothing that can compare.

He gives me all the tools I need to prepare.

 

Lord there are so many things I want to say.

Sometimes I feel the only time you here me is when I pray.

Often times I just think and you still can hear me.

That is what sets me free.

 

Lord your love flows through me.

I thought that was something I would never see.

God You have touched my soul in so many ways.

It would be hard to ever comprehend going astray.

 

Lord my heart is so attached to You.

It is soft and no longer untrue.

It hurts when I let you drift away,

I am so Glad I can hear what you say.

 

Lord you laugh with me when I am happy

You cry with me when I am sad.

You calm my soul when the candle of eternity is lit.

Knowing you has become my biggest benefit.

Listen to God

God is strong, I am weak.

Everyday God is who I seek.

In times of trouble he comes to me.

 

I listen to God when I hurt.

Why? He is the expert.

His words of wisdom I believe.

 

I open my heart and let him in.

It does not matter to Him where I have been.

God says it is okay.

 

My life has been full of hardship.

I ask God for his will and friendship.

Respect God, get on your knees and pray.

 

Sometimes Lord, I feel I have lost control.

Lord Break Me

Lord, give me the desire.

The fire burns deep within.

I know what you require.

Please take away my sin.

 

I reach to you O'God from the heavens,

What do you ask of me?

Lead me to what you want me to be.

The Holy Spirit is strong in me.

My way is not God's way,

That is what I hear when I pray.

 

The Holy Spirit is the leader.

Keep in step with Him.

Follow him wherever he goes.

He will take away your sin.

 

Lord, there will be a time when you take me away.

I am so grateful that you let me pray.

Lord, I love reaching out to you.

Everything about you is true.

Lord, where are you taking me?

No answers to my questions.

No solutions to my problems.

The Answers came from the resurrection

No longer do I have any hesitation.

 

If I die today,

I know where I am going.

The Lord's place,

So grateful for his grace.

 

No longer can I say

I do not know him.

I do nothing but pray.

He forgives me of my sin.

 

Thank you Lord for letting me go.

To a place, I have never been before.

I feel your blessings all of the time.

I am yours and you are mine.

 

Lord, where are you taking me?

I often wonder where I am going.

Now I have an identity,

Nothing but Serenity.

 

You give me peace.

A sense of well being.

Your Law is a masterpiece.

Compassion is what you bring.

While you Pray!

Then it is God's way.

Sometimes during the day

I have an emptiness.

Then I look to the sky and pray,

Then I have happiness.

 

God, with you in my life,

I have such a peace about my self.

I never have to say goodnight.

Everything in my life feels so right.

 

It is amazing what has been happening to me.

I look at people and smile.

I does not matter how I feel,

My smile is for real.

 

I always get a smile back

And that tells me where I am at.

This is God working in my life.

This is one way he keeps me on track.

 

Say hello to everybody.

It does not matter if they are nobody.

What Would Jesus Do?

He would say hello, How are you.

 

Jesus, give me wings.

I want to learn how to sing.

One more way to praise you.

That is all I want to do!

 

I want to hold my hands

High above my head,

And praise you Lord as much as I can.

I cannot do it alone; I am just a common man.

 

On my own, I wanted to do good.

On my own, with out God, I could not.

Now I am member of the brotherhood.

God is what I need for abundant Livelihood.

Glory to God

We all came from the same place.

We should all worship the same face

You are mightier than the mountains

It is you O'God who we embrace.

 

Who else can provide us with salvation?

But our Lord, the king of every nation

You have given us confidence,

You have spared no expense.

 

Never have we known,

Such a forgiven heart.

For years my heart has been in pieces.

You put it back together and given me a new start.

 

Give glory to God in the Heavens

And on the Earth.

Your Son died on the Cross,

It gave us a chance at re-birth.

 

Sometimes Lord we can feel you,

So far away, so near.

You calm our spirit

and remove our fear.

 

You give us hope

And nothing but the truth.

Can we ever express

Our gratefulness.

 

We look to you

For what you can do.

Your everlasting presences

Is very true . . . . . . . . not new.

A Touch of Peace.

I found the Lord.

He washed away my sin.

Do you know what that is like?

To be free again.

 

My faith is strong

However, I can still do wrong.

Stay in God's will,

He presence is so unreal.

 

What is this feeling that has come over me?

A Touch of peace.

A Touch of calmness.

Tell me Lord what you want me to see.

 

I want to fly Lord, tell me the way.

He Said, "Look to me in the Heavens and pray."

Lord allow me to spread my wings.

Praise the Lord, teach me to sing.

 

On the Darkest nights when I am alone.

It is your light that is shown.

It could be dark where I am at.

You still let me lay my head in your lap.

 

Lord, you are everywhere to me.

When I get on my knees, it is you I see.

No longer do I believe that this is all a fantasy.

Get on your knees; this is for eternity.

I don’t understand

Sometimes I don't understand your way,

Everybody says to understand you must pray.

God will see you through this pain

What I must do is get on the Lord's train.

 

It will take me where I need to go,

While I travel I will do nothing but grow.

Do not get off where it stops.

Unless where you are is at the top.

 

You don't have to have a ticket for this ride.

Listen to God he will keep you in stride.

He will let you put your pride aside.

Lord I give you my life and relinquish my pride.

 

Lord save me from myself.

Give me all your wealth.

So I can cry glory to You.

That way everything I know is true.

 

God it feels good when you give me courage.

But sometimes I am still afraid.

Lord may your Grace stay with me forever.

Never apart always together.

The Lord Guides Me

The Heavens rejoice,

When we praise God's voice.

He sometimes speaks to us when we are asleep,

And he speaks to us when we are glad or weep.

 

Sometimes I have been touched by his hand.

The Lord of all the Earth is so Grand.

There is only one thing that could have touched me.

The hand of God is the only thing it could be.

 

No matter what, you cannot escape him.

He is everywhere, even when we are in sin.

He sent his Son to die for us.

His name is Jesus.

 

The Lord guides me in the words I say.

Oftentimes I feel that you are waiting for me to pray.

Many times my prayers feel not worthy or weak,

But it does not matter to you; at least that is what I think.

 

When I look at the problems in the world today.

I ask God, what should I say?

He says, "Believe in me, trust my word,

Don't believe the bad things you might have heard."

 

He says, "Good things happen to those who trust in me,

Love, Trust and Peace that is what you will see."

The Lord's word is the law to live,

When you listen it will allow you to give.

 

They see how happy I am and how much I glow.

I guarantee I am not putting on a show.

I have the most peace when I have God's grace.

Friends can tell because I have a smile on my face

The Witness

With the touch of God's hand,

Now I understand.

I look at what I lost.

That's okay because of the cross.

 

Jesus died so I could live.

His life gave me the opportunity to give.

So many people to witness to.

This is something that I could never overdo.

 

I will try to help everybody I can,

Every woman, every child, every man.

Spreading God's word is what I can do,

If one person listens, what a breakthrough.

 

I know if I die today.

There is only one place I will go.

I will see God at the Pearly Gates,

He will say, "I have been waiting, and this is the way."

 

It doesn't mater who you are or where you have been,

Look to the inside and reach deep within.

Praise the Heavens and speak God's word,

I assure you nothing will go unheard.

Keep me Steadfast

I have lost something that WAS dear to me.

God willing it was meant to be.

Am I better off now? Only God knows.

In my heart I believe this to be so.

 

As I wait patiently for my Princess

I will not settle for anything less

I know as long as I worship and praise you,

My choice will be true.

 

There is someone else for me.

Only God knows who it is meant to be.

I must have patience and lots of prayer

Only God knows if that person is out there.

 

Keep me steadfast and true.

I will do everything to watch for you.

Everything about me wants to learn.

Sometimes your word is hard to discern.

 

So when I study you in my quite time,

I have found it to be my favorite pastime.

Does not matter if it is morning or bedtime.

When I study your word everything is sublime

You Are The Catalyst

 

The proud father of all mankind.

Sometimes we look and still do not find.

Does not matter, Your truth will always be the same.

As long as I believe I will never have any shame.

 

Your Everlasting presence is so majestic to me.

The Lord our God will always be.

Nothing in my life has been consistent.

Now I have the Lord . . . . He gives me assistance.

 

Lord you are the catalyst to my well-being.

God with out you I could not learn anything.

I exalt you O God in everything you say.

As long as I praise, never fade away.

 

When my anger arises it can give me an attitude.

Open the Bible read the Beatitudes

The eight principles help me grow.

The King's word gives me hope.

 

I wonder when my time finally comes.

What will you say to me?

"I have been waiting so long

Come to me this is where you belong."

Perfect in God’s Mind

I cannot get you out of my mind.

I think of you through life's daily grind.

Everyday I look for answers that are hard to find.

I must listen to God for he is the Mastermind.

 

He will tell us.

Live like Jesus.

He walked in a straight line,

Perfect in God's mind.

 

I want you in my life so much.

When I don't pray I get out of touch.

Having you for one day is better than not at all.

When I don't have you, I feel so small.

 

Bless these words that I write for you.

That is something you already knew.

Speak to me, what should I say?

Count your blessings and begin to pray.

 

Lord it is so hard for me to believe,

So many people care for me.

I see it everyday,

In everyway.

 

Your presence is felt in everyone you put before me.

You speak to me through their Heart.

Lord just keep talking,

And I will keep walking.
