OURS IS NOT TO QUESTION WHY

Ours is not to question why

It is ours but to obey 

Obedience is far better than sacrifice

In the dessert I walk today

I trust alone in His unfailing love

Lead by the light of His word

Eyes fixed on the prize straight ahead

Ears only on HIS voice I have heard

I see the storm brewing in my path

I must continue on my plight

For I know what my Master has told me

And I walk by faith - not by sight

Everything in me wants to turn back

To escape this dessert I'm in

Lord please help me through this

Deliver me from all sin

Ours is not to question why

It is ours but to obey 

Obedience brings God's blessings

His hand of deliverance our way

The River of God

I want to live here

The river of God

flowing down from your sanctuary

where I find you on your throne. 

This is where you are worshiped - day and night without ceasing.

I see this river in my dreams

I stand while the river fills the lake around me.

I am led into the river, deeper  and deeper,

until I can not stand.

Surrounded by forests of lavish greenery all around me 

crystal shimmering clear water

I am suddenly at the foot of your throne

Holy fear is not adequate to describe how I feel  

Peace - like heavenly rain drops fall upon my soul

Healing melts away my pain

Completely immersed in your love 

All my sorrow washed away

In your arms - at rest

In the river of God

A Word from the LORD

Divine Obedience

I will move you in perfect time
I will not let you fail
If you keep hold of my hand

You may stumble - You may fall - Along this rocky path
But I will lift you right back up
Together we will not miss a step

Trust me

This is a new place I am taking you
This calls for a deeper love - a stronger faith - and a
A trust in me that will deliver DIVINE OBEDIENCE

We will make this happen together
I always keep my promises

Stay close to me
and
Keep hold of my hand

Sometimes

Sometimes

I just sit here.
I don't know how much longer I can wait.
I am just so tired. I know I need to hold on tight to your promises.

Sometimes

I just sit here - with you.
I just sit here and think about what is going on in my life.
I get so tired. I can barely feel my heart beat.

Sometimes

I just sit here in my prayer chair. 
I think about all you have done for me in my lifetime.
I think about all you have promised to do in my life.

Sometimes

I sit here in my prayer chair 
I get so tired.  I can barley hear my heart beat.
But you are sitting here with me.

Amazed - astounded - by all you have done for me.
For everything and everyone in my life.

I am transformed

Fearfully overwhelmed.

Exploding from the inside out with a jubilent new life and a reverent spirit of thanksgiving. 
No louder than a holy whisper.

Sometimes

I just sit here......with you.... ♥
