This Song That You Sing

What is this song in my heart Lord? It ebbs and it flows. It reaches height in crescendo that I have never heard. It fills my heart with exhilaration but then the sweetness of it brings me to tears. I struggle to write the music, but my words cannot describe its depth. Its melody is beyond the capacity of my heart to contain for its richness is more than I can bear. It brings to me the freedom for my spirit to fly and the fulfillment of longing that I have never experienced to such fullness.

It is your spirit within me my Lord that gives music to my soul. Your presence within me is overwhelming in ways that I struggle humbly to describe. I am both pauper and king. My place in this world is that of indebted peasant, but I am graced by the presence of the living God in my heart. My wealth cannot be purchased at any price and the richest of men may not be able to share in it but by your grace. I am rich in your mercy, wealthy in measure of your grace. In your love I hold that which is priceless beyond measure and unable to be appraised. I am blessed beyond wealth by your presence in my heart and my house. My humble household is a mansion beyond the measure of wealth when your spirit abides. The wisdom of your song I cannot carry in full measure at once. I struggle to write words to describe the sound of your heart song to mine and my description is lacking for the words are insufficient to describe the presence I enjoy. You are beyond the description of this world and its wisdom. Your heart more beautiful than anything man can relate to in words. Your song is without end and your majesty will reign forever.

You are forever my love and my heart constantly seeks more of you for I can never have enough of your heart to satisfy the longing. Your love is contagious and addictive and I am your slave for all eternity. My soul is thrilled and alive because of your presence. My heart leaps to declare its love for you. My tears of longing and gratitude fall like rain in your presence. I have been one chosen and saved by your grace. I have been redeemed from a life meaningless and hollow leading to the depths. I am one convicted, found guilty and sentenced to death. I have been granted clemency by the God of my creation and exonerated without cause from the accusations of the destroyer who sought my death.

My days were without meaning even when I thought my feet walked your path. I struggled to perform out of duty that which I should have joyed to do out of love. The secrets you show me give life to my soul, They are the words of your wisdom rendered to my understanding by the spirit of my God. They are the lyrics of the song that you sing to my heart and your love is the music that is the wellspring of my life.

I wondered in my youth who I was to become. My heart was tender and my thoughts given to peace. Music that I heard moved me and service brought me pleasure. Words were my prize and were rendered in secret to those who would not scorn them. But my heart was always seeking the love that would satisfy beyond the capacity of flesh. I realize in my age that I have found my true purpose and now recognize the love that I sought. I see now that the days of my youth were in training to be in relationship and service to the one God of my heart. But though you have blessed me beyond reason in my love relationship with you, I would humbly beg to ask one more thing of your heart. Give me the words to describe the music you sing to me that I may share it with others. Make me a reflection of the greatest love of my heart. Let me not be seen but you my Lord and let me not be heard but your music instead. Your song is too sweet to horde and your love too precious to keep. May I serve you my God and thereby add to my pleasure and let the words that I write be only your song to be sung from the mountain tops with abandon in your praise.

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
