Unveiling Heart

Thank you Jesus you could choose any place as home But You choose my humble heart  You gently guide it in Your way of love and truth Protecting it from turmoils of fear and doubt You're a mighty warrior within overcoming the battle  The overwhelming and raging storms Calmed by Your love Thank you for making a home in me Changing the atmosphere  Making it transforming it to be like You Oh so beautiful  Oh how I need You want you and cling to you Thank you for never leaving  Help me abide everyday for the battle does not cease But I have no fear for your love is perfect setting me free It always leads me in victory. Help me love  I know it heals Even when hate is so strong Help me do good When evil abounds Help me remain in peace When chaos persists Help me believe  When doubt raises it questions  Help me be merciful  When judgement says punishment is just Help my heart be full of praise ...

I ask myself a question today If today is the last day What would I need the most Before I step into eternity  I realize my last memories won't be that of offense or grief My greatest desires would fade away and seem trivial, In that moment just before my journey is over The abuse, the hate, the anger would lose its power  And my heart would be overwhelmed Knowing that the Lord planned for me to encounter His love through the cross and the resurrection.  And before I breathe my very last my only one cry would be-" I need You Jesus" and then I would step in its reality. As I still breathe, may I not wait for that day to realize Help me understand that I need You every waking moment Yes I need You more, more than the greatest desires. There's none who loves me more. None who paid the price for my reckless living. You valued me more than I value myself  Yet I am constantly running to embrace the temporary pleasures  Not recogn...

Oh how You shunned not the sinner That's what they called her While the religious people looked down on her You invited her worship Oh how pure was her breaking of the precious alabaster jar She released it in utmost love and adoration for You And oh how honorable was it in your sight Because    she is Your first love and Your   daughter ,  and she knew that She saw Your eyes burning with passion and love for her In the midst of cold judgement So unashamed she approached Your humble heart of mercy What seemed scandalous to many Was sincere and pure to You Your grace kept her perfume lingering through time To remind me that I can come just as I am - a daughter Even with my shame and my pain And like her I can release it all at Your feet With my tears I can wipe them clean With my glory brought low To know that You're the lifter of my head My brokenness is pleasing to You You draw neigh because You find me worthy Valuing every b...

Do I miss You in every day mundane? Belittling the small and humble in the hope of great and majestic Am I getting it all wrong? Is my idea of great in the grandeur of things Or is it in the secret sacrifice of the unsung heroes that makes life possible? Every song, every beat is a desperate cry longing for love Looking in beautiful package realising its empty And then wondering what did I miss? Am I expecting You to come as a lion But missed You because You came as a lamb I expected You to come as a fierce King But You chose to come as an infant in a manager. So humble so vulnerable yet so powerful the love That became nothing for my sake. Am I expecting the red sea to part, water to turn to wine tangible miracles  Not recognising the miracle of each new day, beating heart to witness your glory each day Dull heart losing novelty of precious gifts bestowed upon me Valuing things over life Valuing signs over relationships Limited vision ...

Am I a modern day Pharisee- a white washed tomb, consumed by knowledge that I have forgotten to love? Or am I Hosea's wife, caressing an adultress world satisfying lust and greed?  There's a deep thirst that's unquenchable  Even the best things in the world seems to miss.  Ah! All is vanity under the sun. Passing by wounded lives, unmoved, Whatever happened to the child who would break at the sight of hate. Why am I changing to look like the world compromised and cold? A deep cry, a raging storm with a beautiful mask  How I wish one can look deep within You promised you can My heart longs for You my Saviour  Rescue me before my heart grows cold You said even in my abundant sin your grace would abound You promised to rescue me even if I make my bed in hell. And Yes You did, You found me. Even though I run far away from You. You relentlessly pursue me My wounded heart screams vengeance But then Your sweet Spirit reminds ...

Dressed pretty with bandages that wrap my wounds and dead and broken dreams,   People dread to unwrap these bandages fearing the mess and the unpleasant stench, They mourn the death and convinced its all over, Where no one else can see or can reach. Deep cried unto deep, A cry for life. Jesus you visit me while everyone else said its too late, You call me by my name, Your words breathe life into this dead being, You unwrapped the messy and stinking wounds that none want to catch a glimpse of, You are the balm that healed my brokenness, You alone loved me and cared to rescue me from my grave clothes, Your love covered the multitude of death, sin and brokenness You clothe me with a garment of praise Your love is true life!

You were about Your Father's Mission, A mission of Love and Justice, A mission of Reconciliation. A relationship broken by sin, You came and restored. You demonstrated the Father's heart of love, For a world marred with sin and shame. An Innocent One crucified! You willingly gave your life on the cross, As an atoning sacrifice and paid the price. You were denied, betrayed,rejected, abandoned, By Your own for whom You came cause of love. They shouted "Crucify! Crucify!" Love responded "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." You died and You rose and visited those who denied You, You met them in love and forgiveness.   Even as my flesh is crucified with Yours, And You live in me, May I behold Your love You demonstrated, On the cross. A love You poured out so lavishly and willingly, A love that was necessary to restore the broken and fallen world. Help me live that love as I walk the earth, Even when denied, rejected and broken by thos...
