Little Child

 You dwelt in heaven from eternity past

You are the first. You are the last.

The Word made flesh. You lived among us.

Came as a baby. Came to save us.

 

Sweet infant brow will one day be pierced with thorns

That day the Father will turn his head from his own

That day Life will bow in death

Only to be raised like leaven bread

 

Little child beneath a star

We know who you are

Though once veiled before our eyes

By grace we see and also come alive

Little child whom wise men seek

They brought him gifts

With hearts noble and meek

We too should honor this King of Kings

With gifts of love to Him we bring

Born to die this sacrificial Lamb

Born in a stable the Great I Am

 

Give the Lord Your All

 Here is an article I recently posted in inspire a fire.com. It draws lessons from the classic Christmas carol The Little Drummer Boy. I hope you enjoy it.

Some Days

The most predictable thing about life is that it's unpredictable. Even on the dark days, God is with us. I hope you enjoy this poem...

Some days are partly cloudy

The sun shines through the mist

While darkness tries to hide its gleam

Some days shine

When beauty shouts with creation’s brilliance

Other days are black as night

But You always pour forth Your radiance

For You are Light

Even when the dark days surface

And Your power cannot be seen with naked eye

Still You reign

Your cycle always brings about what’s good

Lord of Heaven, come illumine my days

I am captured by Your countenance

I see Your form, even through the shadows

Forever You remain the same

Forever mine

Inexhaustible Light

Jesus Still Heals

This is Faith

To believe past reason’s gloomy path

To look for light amidst the darkness

To stand upon the promise of abundant life

When all seems lost

This is faith

 

Like a blind man walking past the bright sun

We can miss His blessing

But if we believe, God’s best will unfold

We walk by faith and not by sight

And we shall see His glory

Be Like a Bucket

 

Come my son, my daughter

Be like a bucket

Let the water of My Spirit

And the water of My word

Fill you to overflowing

 

Come to the fountain of my love

Receive deeply of Me

Let my rivers spill over on those around you

Rivers of mercy

Rivers of healing

Rivers of revival

Be like a bucket

Empty of you, full of me

Be like a bucket
