a lover's plea

oh beloved Savior, rescue me from this mire
for spirit and flesh are warring, they cause me to tire.
a daily struggle to pursue what's pure
yet how the Father's guides, of this I'm sure.
in times of unrest I grow weary and numb,
no longer a refugee, with Grace I succumb.

merely human, a daughter of Eve
emotional fabric I wear heart on sleeve.
in spite of imperfection so obvious to me
I fall before Jesus with a lover's plea.

know my desire that I have You
for the compassion of Christ is holy and true.

-B

psalm 37:4-6

delight yourself in the Lord and He will
give you the desires of your heart.
commit your way to the Lord;
trust in Him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine
like the dawn, the justice of your cause
like the noonday sun.




-a psalm of David

fixed gaze

my eyes are upon the Lord.
oh but how quickly I turn away.
forgive me Father in my distractions,
they sting the heart and crush the spirit.

in times of anxiety, You O LORD are soothing,
Your comfort sustains me.
I will fix my gaze upon the Father,
for He has provided righteously.



-B

Psalm 139:14

I will give thanks to You, for I
am fearfully and wonderfully made;
wonderful are Your works,
and my soul knows it very well.







-a psalm of David

uncontainable joy, unrelenting praise

my God has provided for me,
His timing impeccable.
how could my heart ever doubt You O LORD?
with You I dwell in lovely places,
and my heart is made full.

praises are on my lips
and tears hang on my cheeks,
for the Lord is good to those who honor Him.
my joy for You is uncontainable,
I shall worship with unrelenting praise.
bless the name of Jehovah Jireh, the Lord on High.

-B
