An oasis of Grace

Times that feel like we’re walking on eggshells
Are actually times that we’re walking on water
Times we doubt, we begin to sink
But immediately You reach out Your Hand before we reach the brink.

Your exhortation to have faith
Is an invitation into a journey
Unknown yet secure
For it’s held within Your Hands quite safely.

One day at a time we take it
Feeling Your pulse like You feel ours
Only want to remain in sync
With Your Love that is the very song we sing.

Things may change
So we ask for grace
For Your promises remain unyielding
And our lives, you are still building.

Keep us dreaming with You, Lord
To see healing and restoration
For Your Heart planted the garden we live in
So would You redeem us from this tailspin?

Egypt

Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” (Deuteronomy 1:29-31)

Amen👑

Prophesy.

You’ve been far too kind, God
Held me close like a Father
Called me a little child
Never did You let me wander.

You’ve held me through a whisper
And graced me to hear
The voice that knows me by name
Setting me free from all my shame.

So now I boldly walk in freedom
That You’ve so passionately given
For He who lives within me
Is also the same who fights for me.

He doesn’t give up nor does He let go
His Love, firm and secure
He knows how to woo me
Back into the Heart that sets me free.

So over and over we go
Getting freer more and more
Chasing away all my fear
For it’s pure Love that calls me dear.

He who calls me royalty
Never slumbers nor sleeps
Says He will surely come through
Even if it’s a bit of a waiting.

He means what He says
His ways simply flawless
Knows me through and through
And says He is The God of Breakthrough.
🙌🏻

Unshaken.

A call for deeper intimacy and greater dependency
On the Truth that sets us free
So that as we journey
We can keep going from glory to glory.

For in Him, all things hold together
Regardless of the weather
Clear or stormy, He remains unchanging
So we can trust Him as He is rearranging.

All things for our good and His glory
That’s the theme song of our story
The pieces make sense in hindsight
Is why the just shall walk by faith, and not by sight.

For now we see in part
Later it shall all be revealed
The glory of Our King unveiled
In splendour and majesty.

Obscurity was something He embraced too
And grew in wisdom and stature
So when the time was ripe
He could step up and eventually departure.

No, He didn’t leave us alone
He gave us a helper
Immanuel, God with us
Is our one sure keeper.

We will need bucketloads of help
For armloads of blessing
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy cometh in the morning.

So let us magnify The Lord
His Name, above it all
Victory and power are His alone
And He is still reigning on His Throne.
👑

You mould as I behold

Breathing down my walls
A bit like Jericho
May have taken seven laps
Doesn’t matter for You fill in the gaps.

Don’t let me forget You’re The Potter
I’m simply the clay
Small yet significant
As You mould me day by day.

Feel vulnerable yet grateful
You love me too much to not care
You come running towards me
For You’re still The Father beyond compare.

Through the highs and lows
You’re my One Constant
The spring in my step, the joy in my soul
You’re the glue through all my pieces who makes me whole.

So I lift my hands to You
And receive a hug from Heaven
Feel Your Love like pure bliss
For You’re more than just providence.

1st April, 2020

Because You hung on a tree
Now You flow like a river through me
Taking away my fears
And blessing me with tranquility.

You grant me favour every place I need
Making provisions and keeping promises
The ground of my heart You knead
Making it soft, supple and in line with Your loving verses.

With Your Covenant fastened to Eternity
I let myself be pliable
For as we now journey
You’re birthing a new thing in me.

You prepare me for what You have prepared for me
A Good Good Father
With deep intentionality
Do You take me from glory to glory.

I hang on to You
Your Perfect Love reigning in me
Times will change I know
So I trust You with the timing.

❤️

As were You, so are we in this world.

Lord, give me grace
Meet my every need
As I put my hand in Yours
I ask You to take the lead.

You go before
You stand behind
Thank You, Jesus
For You’re far too kind.

So what does the compassion of Christ look like?
For my near and dear ones
At a time that’s vulnerable
I trust in the Love that is formidable.

So as I seek to lean on You
Would You pour Your wisdom and love?
A marriage between the two
Is where Sweet Jesus, You settle like a dove.

Casting all differences aside
Instead choosing to decide
Humility is where freedom reigns
For even You had to win me over with some sacred blood stains.

So help me to take heart and be strong
You’re Faithful all year long
The process is where You grow me
Still holding me close ever so tenderly.

Where You are is where I want to be
Building where You’re breathing
The center of Your Heart, the center of Your Will
Nothing else do I seek to fulfil.
🙌🏻
