Morning Watch - vers Isaiah 64 and 65

     Lord there is none righteous before you. However, you have sent your son, who died for our sins and access to the kingdom of heaven is now possible. Through the righteousness of Christ there is grace to be called sons and daughter of the most high. To be light of the world as you have called us. Fulfill your calling in our city and transform us. Hold back the judgment we truly deserve and teach us mercy. Father, we thank you for your son, Jesus. Thank you for those who you have grafted into your family; adoption with rights and access to those who believe. Thank you for continuously teaching and guiding us. You are a good daddy, all the time. So good that you discipline us when needed, but always encourage to seek your ways. Protect us from the liar and thief. Renew our minds. Increase the filling of your Holy Spirit in us. Equip, teach and send us to our workplaces, schools, homes, city, country and the nations. We trust in you alone. Our ways are not your ways. Teach us perseverance. Therefore, our character can become more Christ like. Bless your holy name. Truly be the lord of our lives. Amen.

The Fix

Feeling it was all set up
Feelings of needed mending
Needing an injection of a spiritual high
Needing to see from the mountain top
Emotionally my flesh has tendencies of the past
Emotionally I need a boost, a jones for a fix
The sins are not in the temptations
The sins are in my own desires
Your word says to renew my mind
Your word promises you are enough
Refine me so you may have your way
Define me so that I may know your ways
This marriage is not a contract
This covenant is what I long for
It’s you I desire
It’s you I believe
I don’t want a temporary fix
I want to know your eternalness
From glory to glory
Not from fleshly highs
From journey and stories
Not condemnation that made a whore of me
It’s your love that’s everlasting
It’s your sovereignty that’s overpowering
Night will be Day
Dark into light
You alone are lord most high
You alone I fix my eyes

Glitch

Zip, zip what was that
Zrrp, click, pow what is it now
Was it the momentary laps of reason
It was a lesson for the season
A periodic glitch
So that ones may know the fix
The Lord is sufficient and kind
Keep forward and renew the mind
Momentary, of this earth
Eternal be your focus
An everlasting birth
Hope not in the unseen, but what is written on your heart
Not the serge, but the even-flow of eternal power
Glory to the one on high

Release Me

So I’ll act like I don’t care
Feeling lack of control, I don’t desire it anymore
I wouldn’t push, I couldn’t make you love me
Freely I want to give, freely I want to receive
It’s a parallel after all
How do you fight for something that’s not yours?
It was never mine to own
Stewardship, on loan, no guarantee, not obligated
Wouldn’t want to prostitute myself because I’m bored
Though it gets easier and light is my restorer
The darkness lingers to want to take my hope
Your promises oh lord are not bound to me
I ask lord you would fulfill me
Truly only you could know me
Inject me with the serum of your sovereignty
Ending these thoughts of misery

I dream

I dream of a lover by my side
Seashore dreams, starlight kisses
Children climbing, fighting for their Dad’s attention
I dream of a land not yet determined
Faces of joy, even in the midst of perseverance
Father to the fatherless, respecter of women
Men intrigued with integrity
I dream of hearts abandoned to true love
Passion for a king, a friend, healer, redeemer of all things
I dream of reckless abandonment worship

Free to be whom he created
Dancing over the brokenhearted

Trampling over the backs of the deceiver
In the core a worthy lamb, roaring freedom in all hearts
I dream of the earth transformed, Darkness made light
Valley’s lowered, crooked ways made straight

Rough places made smooth
I dream of a lover running for the embrace

Engaged with a glance
Pursued with a heart qualified by the redeemer
I dream of you

Where are you Lord?

I fought and I fought to ask where you are
I lost and I lost the sensing feel that you are always near
Then I cried and I cried for your mercy to overwhelm
Then I died and I died for the longing was unbearable
So you whispered and you whispered a soft spoken voice
The calming stream of your name.

Risk

Risk I never knew you
For if I had I would have pursued you
Lifesaver strapped, wadding in 2 foot danger
Safety in numbers, I waited for splashes in anger
Not really risking at all
Stuck in this pensive song
Refine, define, and muse me into your splendor
Heart strung in resounding melody
I jump to meet my destiny
You were waiting there
Landing will be my testimony

Hope

Hope:
-to cherish a desire with anticipation.
-trust
-to desire with expectation of obtainment.
-to expect with confidence: trust
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
_______________________________________________________________
Love is not a proximity but the intimacy of hope in ones heart.
I long to be near, yet still, do you even know who I am
How do communicate the fact, vulnerable to my own hidden pride
As if the very circumstance would define me
I don't want to go by emotions, if I did it would be poison
Even in anxiousness I dream, yet still grounding my feet
Fear of not how it could be, but in how it should be
Do i hear the voice of the one calling me
Complacency it seems you have the best of me

Lord where would you have me, when will my heart believe
Have I let my testimony define me
I need your urgency, mercy and supremacy
I acknowledge it's not about me, though at times I've made it out to be
Though you don't feel near, i will hope in your intimacy
my heart is yours, but I ask if it's time you would release in me

The desires locked up, it pierces even my thoughts
To release a song unto you and you alone
would it honor you, would it bring you glory
Path my journey, ignite my yearnings
The truest dance of your splendor captivating
You alone will and can satisfy

Not for sale

Salty taste of tears running dry
Emptied by the thoughts of ones lost
Desiring to know a better way
You alone long for those who have strayed

Why doesn’t she get up today
Drugged by the condemnation she’s failed
It all seems overwhelming
You alone calm the raging sea

There are so many that depend on her
Nothing left to prove abandoned to the core
Orphaned spirits, hungry for intimacy
You alone redeem their dignity

One touch of your garment would heal them
A spoken voice, unveiling mysteries
How could they not be changed
You alone purchased the cost
