My Flame
My Brokenness hurts in new ways in each season of my life
Some more painful to go through than others
Sometimes you're not the only one affected either
His Truth remains the same,
His fire burns; His Flame.
In the rest of His arms my soul seeks,
Yet my sin and body meek,
To the one who destroys,
and employs destruction,
The magnet to my heart so sweet,
Yet my falls induction.
A spiral I see but to the Lord He smiles for He knows the blows only brings me closer; His trials
In the hope I see, an end to the trend of my slippery slope,
Yet that end isn't near but I can hear, what is that?
Ah yes, His truth remains the same, His fire burns; his flame.
The Lord accepts me in my failures, the precepts He gives He tailors,
For me.
I see it, but still fail,
I hit the trail and run. I try and catch up to You but still I stumble, I mumble, I groan, my feet fail me
It's time to give up. I give up. I give up
I trust in You, but still I try to live up, drink from Your cup I try. I try, I try,
Yet I still die, and why?
Ah yes, don't forget! His truth remains the same. His fire burns; His flame!
But Lord it hurts, it's painful, I don't like it but I need it.
I love it, but I hate it.
It's growing on me now, I see it.
Oh lord how beautiful You are,
And how I thought you were so far, but no!
You're right here, You've always been here!
What's this? You're handing me a mirror so that I can see myself?
But Lord, let me just gaze upon You,
Let me see you just for another se- wha', where's my filth?
I'm white as snow.. Wait God, where did you go? I need You!
[God] " Son, don't be afraid for I am here with you.
Remember, my Truth remains the same,
my Holy Fire burns, it is My Flame!
It destroys you, yet frees you.
Though your feet may fail you,
My love never fails
I took the sin of the world and put it upon my Son as a sacrifice,
The only thing that would suffice
He paid the highest price.
He died and rose again,
Now you are made clean in my sight,
My love for you, made complete."
[me]
God, I praise you,
I give you my everything
May my life represent the goodness of your love in my life.
May my lips sing of your praises forever and ever. AMEN!
[pause]
Entering this rest....Was this life a test?
No,no
A blessing, that will have me forever confessing the goodness of my Lord,
My Savior, my King, my Father, my Sword.
I am His son, for whom He loves and will never be forgotten.
He is here with me.
His Fire burns bright, and His Flame sustains me, from within me.
Thank you, Lord.
God and I
God and I have been friends
a long time. I was born
to strife, survived temptation,
hauled my cross to Calgary
and swung there like a thief.
.
God and i have much in common
as Christ, walking was the best way
to get the word out. Pilot was
my enemy, Herod my nemisis.
There have been deciples
and many Marys along my path.
.
With most of my life spent
like so many dimes gleaned
from deposited pop bottles,
I talk to God like an old
chum and if I am to see
the "face" of God in time,
then having practiced
the ways of The Word so long
will have been spiritually worth
the reading and the doing.
