You Alone Satisfy!

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 recognising that my heart is deep and without end

And so foolish to think that the temporary things could ever satisfy

The deep can only be satisfied by You

You have placed eternity in me

And it can only be satisfied by You

Help me answer your gentle knock at the door of my heart each day

You relentlessly pursue me in love

You demand nothing but in fact became nothing for my sake

So help me sweet Spirit to count each day precious

Free my wandering heart to only Your love that satisfies

Help me know my worth that You couldn't imagine eternity without me
Help me understand love is a sacrifice

And cross is the evidence of this truth

Love so powerful that death couldn't confine it in a tomb

That its jealousy for me consumed the dark clutches of the grave

And came back alive to make a home in me

So Holy Spirit live through me

May my flesh be crucified

Your love burn bright

And may a hurting world witness Your relentless love

In to me, you see!

Before your father and mother conceived You I conceived you You were with me in my heart, my very imagination and my mind I kissed you with my breath in your mother's womb I sealed you to be mine forever before the foundations of the earth I marked you with the Spirit You didn't choose me but I chose you to be mine forever Simply because I made you with love I am the very breath in your lungs The blood that flows through your veins I have hemmed you and surrounded you within and everywhere with my love You cannot escape my presence I know your wanderings, and I know where you hide My love is present with you in the deepest pit of your despair and disappointment And I will not leave you there But I have raised you from the pit to the power of my faithful and steady love To proclaim and touch people with compassion and grace As I touch you every day with my love to bring you life My words chiselling your flesh into submission to my loving authority to reflect my love, truth

Secret Garden

Guard the garden that's the genesis of my being The secret place where you formed me Guard my silence and solitude with you That's where you're doing a deep work of making me whole and Holy It's a privilege to be alone with you Jesus teach me to treasure You You alone sit with me in the garden of my heart And You yearn and delight to be with me May my wayward heart yearn for you and delight in you You wait gently to tend to the garden of my heart You violently uproot anything that obstructs our love and intimacy You want nothing to interrupt and put out the fire and pure passion of our communion You are jealous over the affections of my heart Like a bridegroom over the heart of His bride You alone are worthy of this wholehearted devotion Give me a heart that is purely devoted to you No one else knows me the way you do Nothing else can fix the mess in this garden Teach me to rejoice when you prune and uproot Father, you are the perfect gardener You're making this g

Crucify! Crucify!

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 those who pledg
