Me: 
Help me to always see things as You do 
Then I will see from love’s point of view 
How great is the love You have lavished on us 
Before we knew You and were rebellious 

Lord: 
Do not love the world or the things you possess 
Live in humility and not to impress 
Then you will walk in My glory and My grace 
Don’t seek My power, but seek My face 

I love all the same, don’t ask Me to pick sides 
Are you for Me? In whom do you confide? 
My secrets are with those who draw close to Me
Come into My Presence with expectancy 

Love each other well for this is My command 
Learn the fear of the Lord, so you’ll understand 
Put your trust in Me with all of your heart 
For those who draw close My power I’ll impart

John 15

A garden runs through the center of My heart
Come, join Me there, set some time apart
I have been waiting to catch your eye there
I am always close, but you are not always aware

What are your plans? Come, share them with Me
I’ll show you Mine and your destiny
I’ve prepared in advance much for you to do
Your hopes and your dreams, I already foreknew

Drink of the living water you can hear close by
It comes from My Word and will always satisfy
Hope, love and direction I will then impart
To those who are waiting to hear from My heart

Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.”

Revelation 22:16-17

Me: 
Can beauty be restored after age takes its toll? 
Is it beyond hope and past our control? 
Am I speaking of buildings, cars, or maybe even me? 
When you look past the facade, what do you see? 

A life lived long has many stories to tell
Some have seen paradise some have seen hell
Our outside bodies reflect what we have gone through
When age takes its toll, what can one do?

Lord:
I am the restorer of hope and of dreams
That which was lost, I came to redeem
Beauty is restored when you come to the cross
When you die to self, you will not suffer loss

Resurrection only happens after a death
For new life to come all it takes is My breath
From the ashes of what was, a new body you’ll receive 
To those who have faith and in Me believe

1 Peter 3:3-4 – “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”

Luke 16:19-31
Matthew 10:37-42
Isaiah 61:1-11

One must learn of the fear of the Lord 
Multitudes haven’t-a massive horde 
Determined to travel the road to destruction 
They scorn Me and My Word’s instruction

Their deeds are evil, and they shun the light 
Therefore, they are children of the night 
Woe be unto those who call evil good 
In the fires of hell, they will be like wood 

One day the earth will be filled with My glory
A life of sin and pleasure is transitory
Darkness will never overcome the light
Listen, oh listen, children of the night

They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.”

Proverbs 1

Empty is the praise of man while living on this earth 
We think it satisfying, it seems to give us worth 
If we try to search for it, it seems to disappear 
It is like chasing after wind in calm atmosphere

Let everything you do, be for the praise of God
Live and give in such a way you look for Father’s nod
Would you want your treasure here and lose it up above?
Great is the reward of those who walk in Godly love

God chose the foolish things to confound the wise
All the glory goes to God so we won’t idolize 
Seek the Father’s nod in all you strive to do
You’ll hear Him say, “Well done,” when your reward comes into view

Matthew 6:1-4 – “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 – “Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him.”

Matthew 25:23 – “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’”

Acts 5:1-11
1 Corinthians 3

There is a purpose in everything I do 
The good and the bad are the worldly point of view
How does one know that they have patience or trust? 
Therefore, to be found true, a test is a must

Many things could not be learned in a perfect place 
Such as unconditional love, mercy, truth and grace 
You are made to be like Me and know of My ways 
Everything is recorded all of your earthly days 

Eternity will answer all of the questions you had 
Your experiences will not be listed as good or bad 
Results will be known in all the tests you took 
They came from experience and not from a book

Ecclesiastes 11:5 – “As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.”

Ecclesiastes 3

A spiritual mist conceals the hidden
God reveals what is allowed or forbidden 
There are many things that we will not know 
While we live on this earth down here below 

Eternity will reveal God’s deep plan
That He formulated before the world began 
Wonders will unfold to be enjoyed forever 
Believing God’s Word should be our main endeavor 

His instructions are written for all to see 
So we can be all we were meant to be 
This earth is a shadow of things to come 
Secrets to be revealed at heaven’s welcome

Daniel 2:19-23 – “During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said: “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. 21 He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 22 He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. 23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Psalm 78
Proverbs 2
Luke 12:1-12

There are not many noble, worldly wise or rich 
That the Lord chooses His Spirit to enrich 
God chose the lowly and the despised things 
To shame the proud and the many boasts they sing 

Through the wisdom of the world, one cannot know God 
Though they search all their lives across this earth’s sod 
God’s riches are hidden in the truth of His Son
The message of the cross can be offered to everyone 

Some will despise it to their eternal grief 
The opposite of faith is unbelief 
Believe and be saved is the message of the cross 
On the day of judgment, you will not suffer loss

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 – “Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 1:18 – “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Romans 10:9-10 – “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”

1 Corinthians 1:17-31 
John 3:14-21 

Let my praise rise in the morning
As the sun’s worship ascends 
The dew celebrates by adorning 
Enjoy the fragrance the flower sends 

The winds exult You as they blow
Trees clap their hands in reply
The mountains look down below
As they reverence the Lord most high

Let everything created rejoice
Release your love in song
Whatever you are give voice
Highest praise to God all day long

He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.”

Isaiah 55:12-13 – “You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.”

Psalm 93, 98, 148

You are the farmer, My Word is the seed 
It contains everything you need to succeed 
I am the life, the truth, and the way 
Everything you need to guide you each day 

You cannot harvest what you do not plant 
Every word spoken is significant 
Wherever you go, let seed be sown 
Until the harvest its fruit won’t be known 

Some will sow seeds others will harvest a crop 
The Spirit decides where each seed will drop 
Your job is to scatter the seeds I give 
Pray they take root and will prosper and live 

You will rejoice in the harvest one day 
The fruits of your labor will be on display 
Rewards will be given from out of My hand 
The scope of the harvest you’ll then understand

John 4:34-38 – “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

Galatians 6:7-10 – “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

Mark 4:26-29 – “He also said, ‘This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.’”
