Hilary Weeks - He Hears Me

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 82

BLESSED VINE

1. What insurmountable trust would let me go to the crushing of failure?
Only your infallible and invincible love interceding, my Lord

2. I am truly the workmanship of your hands. Your love has hovered over my will-full and apathetic ways. Your patience has endured the stripes of my shame, the arrogance of my high-mindedness.

3. I have been blinder than the blind, deafer than the deaf. Yet you have spoken gently and opened my eyes to the corruption of my soul, and the delusions of my mind.

4. You would teach me of the Love that passes all understanding and the joy that fills the soul with overflowing thanksgiving and praise.

5. I cling to You my Beloved. Never let me go. I praise you for the crushing of your presence in my life. For the oil of gladness that has come from it. For the Life that now flows within the branch of me.

You Deserve the Glory by Terry McAlmon

MY BURDEN BEARER

 

1.  I AM NUMB LORD...I JUST READ THE HEART'S CRY OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, AND I AM TORN BETWEEN MY OWN SELFISH NEED FOR YOU AND MY LACK OF SPONTANEOUS LOVE OF THE BRETHREN

2.  I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN MY HEART__AND I FALL BEFORE YOU CONFESSING MY NEED FOR YOUR HELP__I KNOW THAT THIS HOUR IS LATE__I KNOW YOU WANT ME TO LEARN TO REIGN IN THE POWER OF YOUR SPIRIT

3.  LORD, I DESIRE TO REIGN WITH YOU__WHERE DO I START?
YOU ASKED ME TO SURRENDER__PERHAPS I HAVE NOT SURRENDERED AS YOU WILL__HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PERFECT WILL

4.  I CONFESS THAT I AM A SINNER__ONLY YOUR GRACE CAN SAVE ME FROM THE STRONGHOLD OF MY WILL__DELIVER ME O LORD MY GOD.
LET NOT THE ENEMY OF MY SOUL REJOICE OVER ME__BE GLORIFIED

5.  AS HE ANTICIPATES HIS VICTORY__I SHALL HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF MY FAITH__I SHALL CLING TO THE CROSS WHERE YOU CRIED, "IT IS FINISHED"__AND DECLARE THAT YOU RULE AT THE RIGHT HAND OF YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN AND IN ME

6.  LORD, I CANNOT GO TO BATTLE, UNLESS YOU PREPARE ME__WITH UNDERSTANDING AND DISCERNMENT OF YOUR WORD__AND WHAT AUTHORITY IS MINE IN YOUR NAME

7.  I KNOW I WILL NOT BE DELIVERED BY SPIRITUAL WORKS OR WORDS AS IF BY MAGIC__I HAVE KNOWN THE DEFEAT OF SUCH IGNORANCE AND PRESUMPTION__IT IS SPIRITUAL PRIDE THAT HAS CAUSED IRREVOCABLE DEFEAT FROM DISOBEDIENCE TO YOUR PERFECT WILL AS I WALKED IN SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, PRIDE, AND VEILED ARROGANCE

8.  I HAVE SEEN THE FACE OF AN ADULTEROUS HEART IN THE MIRROR__BUT I HAVE ALSO SEEN HER SPIRIT__SHE IS A SINNER LORD, YES__BUT SHE WAS A SLAVE.

9.  HAVE MERCY ON HER LORD__HAVE MERCY__YOU BOUGHT HER WITH YOUR BLOOD __ONLY YOU CAN WASH HER AND MAKE HER CLEAN__ONLY YOU CAN CALL HER BY NAME, AND MAKE HER YOUR OWN__ONLY YOU CAN TEACH HER TO TRUST LOVE AGAIN, AND TRULY LOVE IN RETURN...

10. SHE IS NOT FIGHTING AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD__HER ENEMIES ARE INVISIBLE__IT IS AN OPEN ATTACK UPON HER SOUL__ BY SATAN HIMSELF

11. YOU HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER RESCUE ME OUT OF MY UNBELIEF__THOUGH YOU COULD__FOR YOU WANT ME TO LEARN NOT TO EVADE OR ESCAPE YOUR LESSONS OF FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE POWER OF YOUR MIGHT

 

12. IT IS NOT IN MY POWER OR MIGHT__OR ANY OTHER__IT IS BY YOUR SPIRIT__YOU HAVE TOLD ME THAT__

"THE ENEMY WOULD FLEE FROM ME IF HE SAW YOU IN ME"
 

13. DOES HE SEE FAITH?__DOES HE SEE CONFIDENCE IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH?__DOES HE SEE THE PRESENCE OF YOUR SPIRIT IN ME?

 

14. YOU ARE MY BURDEN BEARER __ HEAR MY CRY, LORD __ YOU ALONE HAVE ALL THE POWER AND AUTHORITY AGAINST HIM? __ I SURRENDER TO YOUR POWER AND AUTHORITY IN ME.__BE GLORIFIED, HONORED AND PRAISED.

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 83

1.  LORD,  speak in me
from embered fire
my soul's desire
from dross and dregs of shame

2.  Shekinah's glorious beaming
from out a brief unsteady flicker
to sudden red-orange flame

3.  From spirit born to Spirit
let all Your burning be
the joy of my refining
the polar of my being
not half way in between

4.  But raging in it's volume
an all consuming fire
that leaves my flesh in ashes
Your grace my one attire

5.  Be jeweled in Love's one constant
and my eternal rest
the Hope of all the ages
now burns within my breast.

6.  All glory, hallelujah
all glory Lord,  amen
what grace the breath of Spirit
revives my soul again.                    jOY

Captivate My Heart-Terry Macalmon

LORD CAPTIVATE MY HEART

 

LORD__CARRY ME AWAY BEYOND MYSELF TODAY. THAT PLACE WHERE HUMAN LOVE CANNOT FLY.
MY LOVE TRIES TO BE WISE__SENSIBLE AND CALCULATING. CAREFUL AND COMPROMISING__AVOIDING CONFRONTATION AT THE EXPENSE OF DENYING YOUR HOLINESS AND UNCOMPROMISING WORD.
THE TRUE NATURE OF YOUR LOVE DELIVERS ME FROM THE SUBTLENESS OF PERSONAL AFFECTIONS__IT DOES NOT HAVE THE AROMA OR TASTE OF DUTY, USEFULNESS, OR REWARD__NOTHING BEYOND THE FACT THAT I LOVE YOU.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHASTISING ME IN YOUR LOVE__ OVER MY TENDENCY TO PROCRASTINATE IN WHAT I KNOW IS YOUR WORD CONCERNING SERVICE__(((AM I OF REAL VALUE?))) ....Am I Real?!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS!!!!___
YOU ARE THE GREAT ((( I AM))) !!!!

THE ENEMY OF MY SOUL IS ALWAYS BRINGING MY THOUGHTS TO DOUBT, SAYING__” AM I?”LORD__ I SEE! IT’S TIME FOR ME TO COME OUT OF THE DESERT OF THE TRIALS OF WHO I AM__EVEN AS YOU WERE TESTED CONCERNING WHO YOU WERE.
IT IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF WHO WE ARE IN YOU THAT GIVES US THE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE TO TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK OF FAITH.

I SHOULD BE DOING__(((FAITH)))
IN MY THINKING__MY RELATIONSHIPS__MY RESPONSIBILITIES__MY WORSHIP
IN THE SIMPLE, EVERYDAY HUMAN THINGS THAT LET YOUR TOUCH BE MADE KNOWN__YOUR VOICE__THE WORD BEING MADE ALIVE IN ME.

THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY ABANDONMENT TO YOU__AND MY REST.

NOT MY PERSONAL HOLINESS__CAUGHT IN THE NET OF HOW OTHERS PERCEIVE ME__OR EVEN A MORBID SENSE OF FEAR THAT YOU LORD ARE NOT PLEASED IN WHAT I SAY OR DO.

LET YOUR LOVE SO FREE ME OF EVER DOUBTING YOUR LOVE IN ANY WAY__

AM I ABANDONED TO YOUR LOVE?__DO I TRUST FOR YOUR LOVE?__CAN I FLY ON WINDS OF FAITH, SOARING THE HEIGHTS__WITHOUT THE LEAST THOUGHT OF THE MOTIONS OF WINGS__FEELING THE RUSH OF THE THERMALS LIFTING ME HIGHER, HIGHER STILL?

LORD__LET MY HOPE IN YOU BE PURIFIED__NOT IN THE STRAIN OF PROVING ANYTHING__BUT THE EARNEST DESIRE OF DYING TO MYSELF__NOT IN THE WORK OF DYING__BUT THE GRACE.I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR__BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE.
