I Will Shake the Nations

I will shake the cities, I will shake the nations 
Like a dirty rug that needs sanitation
Not only the earth, but the heavens will shake
Those who are complacent must now awake

Mourn for the earth, which is infected with sin
In My love, I will correct and discipline
Then you will seek Me with all your heart
When your eyes are open and from sin, you depart

I long to pour out My Spirit from on high
My justice and righteousness will satisfy
I’ll shake the nations and manifest My glory
My Presence displayed throughout earth’s territory

In Thy Hands

Me:
My times are in Thy hands, Lord, my times are in Thy hands
Not wanting my own will, Lord, not wanting my own plans
A spacious place prepare for me according to Your will
As I am obedient, patient, listening, still

Lord:
Call to Me and I will answer, showing hidden things
It is in the difficult you’ll find refreshing springs
You haven’t gone this way before–let Me lead you there
You are in My perfect timing–more than you’re aware

You cannot imagine the plans I have for you
I have kept them hidden from your foes and out of view
I’m hiding these things for you–not from you, be assured
When it is the right time, they will be procured

Trust Me, be obedient and make Me your delight
I’ll give you the desires of your heart with great insight
Your times are in My hands even when you don’t feel so
In light of all eternity, it will not seem slow

Be Born Again

Blood and water were shed at your birth
This is true for all who dwell on the earth
An earthly body was made for you
Adam’s sin marred it as you lived and grew

Jesus came to earth in the form of a man
To satisfy the law and pay sin’s demands
Shedding His blood released the Spirit’s water
Now poured out onto believing sons and daughters

God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
Whoever believes this will live in Him as one
You must be born again to see God’s face
We enter His kingdom by His mercy and grace

John 3:3-6 – “Jesus replied, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.’

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

You Must Choose

I’ve always been near since the day you were born
I heard your first cry on that glorious morn
Know I will be with you until the end
I love you with a love you can’t comprehend

I know your thoughts and the way you will go
Cry out to Me and My grace I’ll bestow
You must choose if My love will be returned
Will you follow Me or will I be spurned?

The one who stands firm to the end will be saved
You must run from sin so you won’t be enslaved
Be faithful to the end to make your hope sure
Through faith and patience, you will inherit and endure

You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me.”

Matthew 24:9-13 – “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”

My Spirit Will Guide You

Me:
Your breath opened my lungs on the day I was born
With Your image and likeness, I was adorned
You commanded man to rule over all of the earth
Created in love You have given us much worth

Lord:
You look like your Dad and you should act like Him too
Do all in love and every evil plan subdue
I gave you authority to rule and reign
The very place you live I did foreordain

Your life has a purpose and a destiny
Ask for My wisdom and draw close to Me
My Spirit will guide you in the way you must go
I’m searching your heart to see if you will follow

My Precious Rain

My precious rain that waters the Earth
Swells the seed to promote new birth
Seed that was sown by man from God’s Word
Soaked by My Spirit from prayers out-poured

Seed without rain will not grow and flourish
Teach new converts from My Word to nourish
They must be discipled with love and care
So they stay on the right path and don’t despair

I send the sun and rain to everyone
Complete what My grace and mercy has begun
Then you will shine like the stars forever
Follow My Spirit in every endeavor

Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Purified By Fire

Catch the fire I’m sending your way
Its flame will burn up the stubble and hay
Pursue the gold purified by fire
Search My Word to see what I require

Surely the day is coming; it will burn
Schemes of the wicked I will overturn
Then you will know that My Word is true
Use it to overcome and subdue

Then the wicked, you will trample down
Do it for My glory and My renown
As your faith is purified by fire
My heart and likeness you will acquire

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 – “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.”

1 Peter 1:6-7 – “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

Malachi 4 Isaiah 66

Beyond Your Fear

Live a life of confidence that goes beyond your fear
You can surely trust Me with all that you hold dear
Spiritual opposition is a clear-marked sign
You are on a right path, desiring the divine

Keep your eyes on Me and follow where I lead
Come to Me in faith with all that you have need
I will surely answer with tangible supply
Desire My loving Presence and on My Word rely

Make My joy complete by obeying until the end
In humility and love, for the faith contend
Stand firm and be strong in My mighty power
I will be to you a sheltering high tower

Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.”

Eternal Treasures

This world and the things we see will one day pass away
This life is not the end but a journey to that “Day”
Our bodies that we use are a temporary tent
That house our soul and spirit, which are permanent

How then should we live if this is really so?
Are earthly treasures to be sought as we live and grow?
What are the holy riches that we can gather now?
God’s Word will reveal true wealth we can gain-and how

God’s fire will test the quality of each man’s work that “Day”
If what he has built survives, he will receive great pay
One cannot reap a harvest if he does not sow
When one gives to God, eternal treasures He’ll bestow

Hebrews 11:13-16 – “All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.”

1 Corinthians 3

Your Enemies Will Fall

They used weather against you, so I will against them
They used corrupt judges to accuse and condemn
Shooting from the shadows at the upright in heart
I will defend and release My flaming darts

In the pit they have dug, your enemies will fall
The trouble they are causing will on them befall
I am your shield like a high standing tower
I will arise to defend with My great power

The foundations of righteousness are being destroyed
In answer to prayers angelic armies are deployed
Fiery coals and sulfur on the wicked I will rain
Their evil empire will end, when righteousness will reign

Psalm 7, 11
