Grace

You retitle our story
As You reveal Your glory
Fill our lives with grace
Colours so vibrant, it leaves me in a daze.

Like the colours of a rainbow
That point to the dazzle in Your Smile
Their brilliance aglow
In the center of the cosmos that You made mile by mile.

A journey of trust
Birthed in a womb of Love
You melt us crust by crust
So we learn to rise above.

An unbroken bond of fellowship
Is what You died to give
Regardless, the hardship
Unto You we will continue to live.

For You call us treasures in jars of clay
Glimmers of Your Light shining through our brokenness
Making us whole and ready to play
Your glorious wonders we openly confess.

You align our paths with Yours
No longer are we lost
More than fine, we’re found
For now all we see is Your Grace abound.

🕊

👑

Thank You that You’re The God who goes before me
And covers me as I go
Following in Your stead
Little else do I need to know.

For when I trust
I don’t need to understand
I know I’m on Your shoulders
So come what may, I know I can withstand.

Like a little child
You have chosen me
Called me by name
And crowned me.

It’s a crown that I put back on You
For it’s the Love I feel that tells me to
You set me on a rock and made my crooked paths straight
So to You, I undoubtedly owe my praise.

Kinder than I deserve
More Faithful than I expected
You’re a mystery unravelled
With each day that Your Grace has presented.

The highway of Your Love will take us to forevermore
And as we do, we see You’re making our paths sure.
You teach us to think from Heaven to Earth
No longer are we left in dearth.

For in You are found the riches of abundance
As You have done away with the lie of redundance.
In You, we remain fluid, yet rooted
For You’re The King undisputed.

Monday musings

The beauty of being led by You
Is something nothing can compare to
Caught in the midst of a grand adventure
Tapping into the joy of walking in step with The Great Quencher.

Rivers of living water flow ceaselessly
As we continue trekking with thee
Climbing mountains or scaling valleys
You’re The One with whom we rally.

A deep well of Eternal life
Dwelling deep within
You give what You give without score
For from You always begins a huge downpour.

Freely we’ve received
So freely we give
For the grace-gifts You bestow
Carry an oil that makes them glow.

Their light illuminating the deepest crevices
Shining bright within our premises
Creating freedom everywhere they go
For they found their origin in The One who goes to show.

Show that which can never be told
But is the very beauty that we behold
And as we do, we become
More like The One who defines our outcome.

Victory is what You call it
So we simply believe
For You’re The Great Quencher
Who found us in our time of need.

Thank you, friends!

Taking a moment this Monday morning to say a big, “Thank You!” to each and every one of my friends here who have taken the time to read what I share and affirm me that what I do, matters. Thank you for being a precious part of this journey!

Wishing you a brilliantly blessed day ahead! I don’t know what your weather looks like, but what I do know is that The Son is shining ☀️

May He wrap you in His Love and illuminate you with His Smile, even today!

❤️

Sunday smile

Glimpses of change crackling forth
Nothing will be the same henceforth
What You do looks unexpected
But is the fruit of where we intersected.

What You initiate
Nothing can terminate
Your Mighty Hand softening hearts
Revealing the purpose behind our scars.

The grace of being soft and strong
Is beyond even a mighty throng
Yet within You, it’s our truest reality
So real that it borders on fantasy.

We chime in when we can
But leave the rest to Your plan
Our surrender is where You start
And we see the seas part.

You move us out of our comfort zone
For it’s only Your Love to which we are prone
Shaking the dust off our feet
We rise and say, “I Believe.”

Beautiful Jesus

What You have spoken
Is sealed in Eternity
As we watch it unfold
We know it’s only our Destiny.

To hear Your living truth
And Your kind intentions
You make wrong things right
For with You, there are no pretensions.

You’re our champion and our defender
Well aware of our cause
Before we ever speak a word
You know our story, clause by clause.

For You wrote it before time beginning
But now we are entering into the beginning of times
What seems like the end
Is only the beginning of new rhymes.

Our songs will continue
Their essence found in You
You keep every promise You make
Your Love overturning everything that’s at stake.

Healed, redeemed, set free
Your Blood is the assurance of victory
Our Hope alive in You
Communion with You is pure ecstasy.

You fill our lungs with Your breath
And we begin to find ours
Lifting our hands in surrender
To The Abode that’s higher than the highest of towers.

We call it Home
Yet Home dwells within
It’s a paradox so sublime
That leaves me stumped each time.

Astonishment, awe and wonder
I’ve discovered are my portion in You
You make all things beautiful
So I will continue to worship You.

Beautiful Jesus❤️

Creation speaks

The clouds have parted
The sun is shining
The flowers are smiling
Creation is truly astounding!

She knows how to keep in sync
And flow in a rhythm and cadence
She doesn’t waver nor shrink
But continues to radiate a heavenly fragrance.

For the rain only comes to water her
In the soil of her Father’s affection
Times that are turbulent translate into times of sheer perfection.

So when it pours she takes in all the nourishment
That her Father sends on intention
Only so it can serve
To strengthen her embankments.

Fortified yet again
She watches in awe and wonder
As the raindrops settle on her as drops of dew
Ushering in something so fresh and oh-so new!

Her roots have grown deeper still
In the soil that has birthed her
Weathering storms through the strength deep within
Revealing yet another layer of the majesty that seems to concur.

And now look who’s blossoming
With colours so astonishing
A vibrancy and a buoyant life force
That makes sure she never gets offcourse.

It’s the mystery of Creation
revealed in Christ
Speaking to us in signs and wonders
Of Who is hidden in plain sight.

Giants fall

I see a young mountain climber traversing the grandeur of snow capped peaks and mountain tops. Having set his sights on the prize of life, He dignifies every step of the process. He gets tired and thirsty; much like you and me. He needs his rest and then with renewed vigour, I see him pressing on. The fire of the passion that burns within seems enough to melt all the snow around him. But then I remember that this fire is the kinds that runs in our veins.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Perfection

Gusty winds and torrential downpour
Unexpected, but truly welcome
For they carry the sound of our Lion’s roar
Affirming us that He’s in charge of the outcome.

Creation now shines so fresh, so green
Awash with manna from Heaven
Revealing the glory of His Majesty
Who calls it all so pure, so pristine.

The golden rays of the sun
Illuminating the path ahead
Pointing straight to The One
Who has laid it thread by thread.

It’s a tapestry of Grace
That He invites us to embrace
Come hail, rain, snow or storm
He’s The One who is constant through it all.

Should we trust
It’ll all fall into place
Brick by brick, layer by layer
For it’s a divine relay and not a race.

He goes ahead of us
Leading and preparing us
Paying attention does help
For the silent echoes of His footsteps are only to be beheld.

His timing is perfect
Not a minute sooner, but not a second late
For when we finally do arrive
We’ll even forget to check the date.

For He holds the times and seasons
But walks us step by step
The journey leaves us astonished
As we allow ourselves to be led.

He leads, we follow
Leaving behind the cares of the morrow
For we know He’s already waiting
Having written the end from the beginning.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Even rainy days inspire

With gale winds blowing all around
You stand tall as my lighthouse
A beacon of hope in the midst of the sea
I know You’re drawing out the sailor in me.

I may strain at the oars
But so did Your disciples
You told them to take heart
For You always bring about a revival.

And when You do
The wind always dies down
For the Greater One is for us
And because He is, we know we can never drown.

You promised us a life above
Above the tides and torrents
For it’s the wind of Your Spirit that lifts us up
Above the downpour that seems to issue a warrant.

So we serve notice instead
To what is not in line with what You have said
It’s now that the horizon clears
And we learn to trust in The Lighthouse that will forever remove our fears.
