Stand in Him

I will not be shaken

When I stand in You

When I stand in Your love

When I stand firmly to Your word

To Your Name

I will not be moved

For His word says

Be still

And I will fight on your behalf

I will fight your battles

I am your defender

Be still

And know I am with you

‘Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes!’

Stand silent

And wait

By the seventh day you will shout

And the walls of Jericho will fall down

It’s not by my works

But by His mark

That has been written on me

That has been declared over me

That ‘God has planned in advance my destiny and the good works I would do to fulfill it’

So I stand in You

My foundation

My fortress

I will not be shaken

When I stand in You

Standing strong

Standing in faith

That I will withstand the test

The test of fire

And walk out unscathed

For Your words will stand the test of time

The Word of Life

Your word

Your word is true

It sustains me

It fills me with the Gospel

It brings life

Wisdom from the old

Outpouring into something new

It feeds me when I’m hungry

My cup overflows when I’m thirsty

As the angel of the Lord gave Ezekiel and John a scroll to eat

So do we eat the Lord’s Word

And it tasted sweet as honey

May the words I consume be sweet as honey

What I consume will always manifest out

So I choose to consume words of life

So I can speak out words of life

Let me not eat words of death

Because out of death came life

‘It is finished; it is done’

My new life has now begun

You rise

So I can run

Your words fill me with hope

A love that never ends

I meditate day and night

To Your Word

I long for Your presence

Holy Spirit guide me with Your Word

Fill me with Your Word

Bring revelation to me through Your Word

Your word saves

Your word will not return void

Your word is true

Your word is love

Your word speaks fire

For You are the Word

The Word of Life

A Father of Hope

Dad

Father

Papa

Daddy

Into your arms

I feel safe

When your with me

I’m protected

You carry a hope

A peace

An unconditional love

A guide

A fire

That warms me

That protects me

My provider

There was always food on the table

My teacher

That is true to his word

My hero

Even in the midst of a storm

A manly man

That is vulnerable and open

My ride

When you carried me

My friend

When you spend valuable time with me

My partner

When you took part of my imaginary world

Legos and G.I. Joes

My goofy dad

That would make me giggle and laugh

Can’t forget the dad jokes

That you were there for me

You were present

You were a big part of my life

From the first sight I was born

From the first time you carried me

From the first time you heard my first word

From the first time you saw me walk

From the first time I went to school

From the first time I encountered Jesus

From all the times you were there for me

You did it because you love me

You love your children more than anything in this world

That you carry the same hope and love that our Father in heaven carries

How much more is our Father in Heaven

Who provides all things

Who loves all the children of this world

He is the anchor of hope

He is our foundation

Our rock

Our Dad

Like Father Like Son

He created us in His own image

He taught us how to be men

How to be fathers

How to serve our family

How to be a father to the fatherless

So we honor our fathers

Today and tomorrow and forever

A father of hope

Boundaries

I say yes to Jesus

I say yes to obedience

I say yes to freedom

I say yes to love

I say yes to healing

It starts with a yes and ends with an amen

But we can’t say yes to everything

We can’t say yes to heaven and yes to this world

We are not called to be bound by this world

Because we are not of this world

Our bodies may be of this world

But my spirit was made eternal for heaven

So I say boldly no to the enemy

I say no to pain

I say no to sickness

I say no to sin

I say no to disobedience

I say no to lust

I say no to the lies of the enemy

I say no to even good things

Because God called us to say yes to His best

By teaching us boundaries

For we were lost in sin from this world

But God sent His son to save this world

So we could say yes to Him

God’s best

And say no to the things of this world

So we may experience freedom

The choice is ours

We can choose to obey

We can choose to have faith

We can choose to read His word

We can choose to worship

Because when we are obedient

It unlocks breakthrough

It opens the door to the true revelation of light

So let’s be wise with our yes and learn how to say no

There is power in our yes

There is power in our no

We have the choice to move

God has given us the key

That can open any door

And close any door

There is only one key

One answer

And it’s Jesus

Faithful You Are (Chris Tomlin Song)

You are Faithful

‘Faithful You are

All Your promises are Yes and Amen’

Even in our troubles

You never let us down

Even in our lack of faith

You never failed us

Or forsaken us

Because Your love is unconditional

And Your peace transcends all understanding

Even when I’m hurt

You heal me

Even when I’m lost

You never abandoned me

Even when I’m in doubt

You give me grace

Even when I’m drained

You fill me up

Even when I’m broken

You listen to me

Even when I’ve lost hope

You are Faithful

‘Because Faithful

You are

All Your promises are

YES and AMEN’

Refresh Me

Refresh me

Oh God

Give me a fresh outpouring

Of your love

Of your grace

Overflow my cup

Make me whole

Make me new

I hunger for You

I search for You

I need You

Your all I need

Your all I want

‘Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me’

‘Renew a steadfast spirit within me’

‘I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint’

‘Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest’

‘Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice’

Your word sustains me

Your grace is enough

I receive

I receive

Your love

Your grace

Your rest

Your joy

Your hope

Your fresh outpouring

Within me

If You Only Knew

If you only knew

The love of Jesus

The power of His Blood

His Resurrection

His Victory

So we may be set free

If you only knew

That you are a child of God

You are valuable

You are loved

You are not forgotten

That He gave His life for you

If you only knew

He forgives all my sins

And heals all my diseases

If you only experienced His Presence

His Grace

His Mercy

That He became real to you

If you only heard His voice

His Whisper

His Heart

You would know how to walk from Victory

How to love unconditionally

How to rest in Him

If you only read His Word

Seeked His Truth

Hungered for His Presence

Saw the love of His People

Worshiped whole heartedly

Planted in Faith

Transformed from within

You would know Him

You may not know Him

Or have walked away from Him

The great news is that He knows you

He knows where your at

He meets you there

He knows your pain

Your struggles

Your hurt

He knows what it feels like to be abandoned

To be broken

To be betrayed

He’s been there

And He wants you to know Him

Because He knows you need Him

And when you Know Him

You will never lack

You will always be filled

He always listen

He will always give you a way out

He will never let you down

He will never leave

Or forsake you

He gave you the Holy Spirit

The Helper

To help you

And guide

To build you

And strengthen you

To fill you

To encourage you

To give you Authority

To enrich your heart

To renew your mind

And when you Know Him

You can’t help to share Him

To share the love of Him

“If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace–but now it is hidden from your eyes.”

The great news is that it isn’t hidden from us

We can now Know Him

Experience Him

See Him

Listen to Him

And receive Him into our heart

A Mother’s Heart

Mom mom mom

The voice of a child’s cry

Hungry to be nurtured

To be fed

To be comforted

To be loved

Nothing can get in between a mother’s love for its child

To protect

Sensitive to when her child is upset

Listening tenderly

Wraps you into a blanket of love

Of warmth

Of grace

Is there to lift us up when we fall

To bandage us and kiss our owie goodbye

To take our temperature when we are sick

To hear our mom say goodnight

A heart of a mother

Is the heart of God

He is our comforter

He is tender

Loving

Kind

Nurturer

Protector

He gave His Son Jesus to a woman as a seed

So that she may give birth to a new covenant

To a new beginning

To nurture Him and love Him

To hold Him and guide Him

To prepare Him to be King

Not just any king but King of Kings

Lord of Lords

For mothers give birth to image bearers

That reflect the glory of God

So we celebrate moms yesterday today and forever

For they carry the joy of the Lord

The Holy Spirit

A mother’s heart

Confident

I place my heart before You

I seek Your truth

My faith is in You

A confidence Your building in me

I’m confident in You

A confidence that moves

That steps in the new

That isn’t just a yes but a I do

That doesn’t stand silent

That roars like a lion

And whispers in the night

A confidence that shifts the heart

That brings dead things to life

A confidence that lives in me

That fills me

That grows me

That preaches the gospel

So fearlessly

With such compassion

With such love

With such understanding

With such value

With such a peace

For my confidence is in You

I rest in Your confidence

I stand on Your word

“Such confidence we have through Christ before God”

A confidence that can only come from You

Secure in Him

Where do I find my Security?

In my job?

That I can lose

In my finances?

That can dwindle

In my career?

That can change

In my house?

That can be broken into

In my relationships?

That can break my heart

In my family?

That can hurt me

In my friends?

That can betray me

In my leaders?

That can let me down

Nothing in this world can bring security

Stability

Trust

But my God is not of this world

Yet He sent His Son to be in this world

To die and secure

A seat in Heaven for me

So I may walk in His Security

In His Love

In His Authority

When I’m Secure in Him

I will not be shaken

I will not fall

But I will Walk in His Call

If you feel insecure

Belittle

Lost

Broken

Exhausted

Fearful

Do not worry

You were never meant to Carry this burden

You placed your security in something that can be broken

But when you place your Security in Him

He will stamp a Seal on you than cannot be broken

You are now Set in His ways

For our Strength lies in Him

May we Rest in Him

Our Foundation

Our Stability

Our Security

Our Trust
