Isaiah 61

Isaiah 61 verses 1,2, & 3
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.


Words Inspired by Isaiah 61

I've climbed mountains and I've walked through valleys

I've fallen into pits and gotten lost in caves
But no matter how bad it gets or how far I've gone astray
Just in the nick of time Jesus saves

His hand guides me back to the path I left
The light of His love lights my way
He walks on the water in the midst of my storm
And when I listen I can hear Him say

Be still and know that I am God
I am God
I am God
Be still and know I am God

When the ashes of my burnt pride cover me
He gives me beauty
When waves of mourning wash over me
The oil of joy soothes me greatly

And when the spirit of heaviness weighs down my mind
He swaddles me in a garment of praise
He saves me over and over again
So many times, so many different ways

Thank you Lord for your saving grace
For your keeping power I give thanks
Thanks for coming to my secret place

And no matter how stubborn I can be
Thank you for not giving up on me
Though people all around me fail
I know through you good will prevail.

You always know whats best for me
You're the roots to my tree
The branches, the fruit, it's all you
For nothing without you I can do

I love you Lord more than words can say
Thank you 
Thank you for keeping me in this way

Pardoned

Pardoned, forgiven, exonerated From our sinful nature liberated All guilt, all blame, and shame Were absolved when Jesus came He came to save yet was rejected Tried and tested, yet finished perfected Sentenced to die like a common criminal A thief on each side with Him in the middle He carried the cross on that long walk The crowd stood by simply to mock With every drive of the stakes in His hands He redeemed the lives of sinful man All around the people jeered They pierced His side with a spear A crown of thorns upon His head He bore the shame for us instead Only when darkness covered the skies Did they truly come to realize The extent of the damage done When they crucified the Chosen One 7/13/14

No Light

Just a quick thought with a rhyme. Yes I know it has a Dr. Suess flow to it. HAHA. You might have to read it twice to comprehend it. I wrote it and I still have to read it through twice. Well enjoy!! What if there was no light? There’d be no wrong then, right? And if there’s no wrong then there’s no right. And where there’s no right there can’t be light. And without the light we have no sight. The whole world is dark as night. So if there’s no me and there’s no you doing what God has called us to do. Then there’s no light, no wrong, no right. In essence there is no fight. So be the light you’re called to be. The kind that helps the blind to see. 8/16/14

In My Shoes

One day a friend of mine was trying to help me see that I was wrong about something. As a typical human, I instantly became defensive. How dare they attempt to correct me when they hadn't lived my life? What did they know? The story of how this poem came about and the results of our talk are posted on my sister blog: www.mytribute2him.blogspot.com . The post is titled "So I'll try again...If You Will Hold My Hand" if you want to check it out. Enjoy! In My Shoes 12/27/11 Walk a mile in my shoes Take a journey through my past Observe. Respect. Never assume. Always ask Walk a mile in my shoes Carry my burdens for awhile Suffer every fear, every hurt, each scar, each trial Walk a mile in my shoes See the world through my eyes Feel my love, see my tears, hear my silent cries Walk a mile in my shoes Before you tell me how to live Understand me before advice to me you give You say "o that's easy" Have answers for all my pr...
