Prayer For God's Help

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 94

1.  Blessed Trinity...exceeding all being, deity and goodness.
Teach me your heavenly wisdom,  set me upon the Rock
Lead me to your mystical heights,  where exceeds heavenly
lights...and carnal knowledge.

2.  Where your treasures lie hidden in Spirit's sacred silence.  It is
absolute and unchangeable, outshining all brilliance, surcharging
our blinded intellects....with utterly impalpable and invisible
glory, which heaven and earth declares.  Yes, glory that exceeds all
beauty.

3.  Blessed is your divine silence which teaches me to exercise your
faith in mystic contemplation...apart from my human logic.  Teach me to rest...not striving for union with you, and realizing I am the
workmanship of your hands.  I cannot contain that which exceeds
all existence.  Your love is fathomless and immeasurable.

4.  Forgive my pressing in.  I find myself climbing that proverbial tree, for a glimpse of You.  Deliver me from presumptuous delusions, and pre-digested words of whispers heard in the shadows of death... birthed out of ignorance of the Real Truth.  Lord, You are Truth.  Your truth that is beyond all positive and negative distinctions.  It prostrates me in all my human corruption.

5.  Father, even my God...I know that you call and draw all men to yourself.  I listen for no other voice but yours.  Lead me upon your path of righteousness...for Your name's sake.  Up that Holy ascent, forsaking even Divine enlightenment's, voices and heavenly utterances...my mind and logic plunged into the darkness of unknowing, which surrounds the immeasurable heights, depths and widths of Your Being.

6.  Father,  through the darkness and into the Light of Your Son,  into the enfoldment of your invisible and Holy Spirit made manifest in You, and raising me up to "New Life".  You are my dwelling place,
that temple not made with hands, of which I am.  Because you dwell in me, I have Hope sealed in my heart against that Day.  Your incomprehensible presence , again, prostrates my heart and mind in helpless abandon.

7.  You are truly unknowable in my flesh and blood...Holy Spirit reveal Christ in all His Holiness and fathomless love, that I might measure how far the fall in eons past.

8.  I am lost in imagery and allegoric symbolism...let me soar upward beyond all my intellectual conceptions.  Reduce me to absolute dumbness of speech and thought.  Embrace me with your own transcendent faith.

9.  You are the LIFE of the life of my soul.   10/13/96

Barber: Agnus Dei

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 95

1.  Lord,  I'm undone at the eternal and perpetual thought of the endless trial and tribulation of man.  All of his wisdom and power is vanity.  It has not delivered him from himself.  That man who is empty and lost and dying.

2.  You wait, how do you wait out the eons of time...Your interceding heart before the Father of Lights?  What love has come?  What mercy and grace has come?

( An unknown author once wrote...." MERCY"  Shakespeare was wrong.  Mercy doesn't fall to earth like a gentle rain. 

Mercy splattered across the world as Christ Jesus was flogged, it rang as nails pounded into Your hands and feet.  Mercy rasped with forgiveness as You  "The Word"  spoke from the cross, and it tore from heaven, through the veil to the temple's Holy of Hollies.  By Your mercy, we are redeemed and God has gathered us back to His bosom."   quote. )

3.  Now are You the  "Risen Christ"....the  "Reigning Christ"....
"King of Kings and Lord of Lords."  Let all the earth tremble at
the sound of Your Name.  Let my own heart tremble at Your holiness, your majesty, your mercy and grace.

That First Day

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 96

1.  Today,  my heart grieved for you Father.  I felt something that
I've never felt before.  I saw...no...I felt myself running to you
needing that reasurance that I'm not lost in all this madness
that surrounds me.

2.  Evil abounds,  every truth has become shadows of gray, a fog
that blinds or disfigures reality.  All around are the heaps of
human flesh who have followed the blind into a world of con-
fusion, a world on the brink.

3.  I felt the warm dish water that brought me back to the safe and
quiet kitchen, a reality that is blessedly mine.  "Dad!, Father!
Blessed Trinity!  Embrace me in your oneness,  your love, your
care."

4.  My only true haven of peace, hope, and rest is in You.  Yes,
Yes,  Christ in me....even as I dwell in You.  You are my hiding
place...that secret place where who-so-ever wills may come to dwell.

5.  There is no other Way.  Flesh and blood, cannot enter in.  What great mystery is ours,  what work of faith fills my heart.  In this I will give you praise and honor and thanksgiving.

6.  Yours is the glory, the power, the kingdom above all kingdoms.  My eternal resting place,  my Home.

7.  I love You my Beloved Father.  Be comforted with all who adore you...who come boldly before you in all adoration.  Your will and purpose is ours.  Not one drop of blood that was shed on Calvary will have been shed in vain. 

8.  We know not what we do.  So we surrender our hearts, our wills and all that we are,  a living sacrifice,  humbly, and joyfully we cry
"ABBA FATHER...Thy Kingdom Come."

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 97

 

1.  Lord:  My flesh is weak.  My soul languishes at the darkness
that fills the earth.  The darkness that fills the human heart.
Your own people grope in darkness.

2.  How is this possible Lord.  For You are The Light of Life.
You are The Way that is clear and transparent.  You are The
Truth that we can trust with all our ways.

3.  Why is it that man would rather listen to lies.  Why would
he rather sell his soul for a portion?  Lord,  forgive, forgive,
forgive.  My heart grieves at the knowledge of your own
heart. 

4.  Let all those who love You,  minister to you with the high
praises of God.  Let the vibration of our hearts song come
before you.  Be high and lifted up.  Let all the angelic
hosts and saints made perfect,  let every principality and
power bow before you in surrendered adoration.

5.  You alone are God.  There is no other.

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 98

1.  Lord I imagine those who look through the windows
of their homes, "what do they see"?  More than I can 
imagine... what their heart sees through the windows of
their eyes.  That spirit bound by flesh and blood.

2.  That one who sees the sunshine, even when it rains
or that one who sees a world full of sorrow and pain.
Heap upon heap of human brawl, and some my dear Lord 
see nothing at all.

3.  Lord of my spirit,  let my heart see that Love has a
way of setting us free.  All things, you've promised, will
turn out for good to those who love you, to those who should?

4.  Today as I sit here and watch the rain. Falling down softly
on window pane.  I wonder sometimes, when inside me, the
tempests rage, but not in the tree.

5.  All this and more,  I praise you my Lord
I place on the alter,  I trust in your Word
I praise you for what faith sees, and when I am blind
come Holy Spirit and speak to my mind

6.  Songs I will sing to the rhythm of rain
praise as it runs down my window pane.

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 99

1.  BELOVED OF MY SOUL,  MY CONSTANT DELIGHT
THE RISING OF MY SOUL INTO THE PENETRATING
LIGHT OF YOUR ETERNAL LOVE

2.  THERE IS A REMEMBERING IN MY SOUL THAT
EVER DRAWS ME TO THE SOLACE OF YOUR
EMBRACE. 

3.  WHEN I FEEL LOST AND ALONE THERE IS A
REMEMBERING IN MY SOUL THAT THERE REMAINS
THE FULFILMENT OF A PROMISE GIVEN,  AND A
COVENANT'S SEAL THAT ONE DAY MY REMEMBERING
WILL COME IN REVELATIONS LIGHT

4.  I SHALL KNOW YOU,  EVEN AS I AM KNOWN

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 100

1.  LORD I REJOICE THAT YOU ARE MY GOD
THERE IS NO ONE WHO KNOWS MY HEART
LIKE YOU
MY FLESH RISES UP IN IT'S CORRUPTION TO
CHALLENGE WHO I AM,  BUT I KNOW NOT
THE VOICE WHO TEMPTS ME TO DISOBEY
WHAT MY SPIRIT KNOWS TO BE THE WAY
THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

2.  I DECLARE THAT I AM NOTHING IN MY
FLESH,  I AM NOTHING
IT WILL PERISH,  IT IS POWERLESS TO SAVE
    
3.  YOU ALONE GIVE ME THE QUIETNESS
AND CONFIDENCE THAT STRENGTHENS ME
WITH FAITH

4.  WHEN MY HEART IS FILLED WITH FEAR
AND DOUBT,  YOUR COUNCIL AND WISDOM
IS AS THE MORNING DAWN TO ME,  I AM
FILLED WITH HOPE AND COMFORT

5.  YOU HAVE PROMISED TO GIVE ME JOY
AND PEACE, AND A SOUND MIND,  I KNOW
THAT ONLY YOU KEEP YOUR WORD,  I WILL
NOT BE MOVED,  FOR YOU ARE THE SOLID
ROCK UPON WHICH I STAND.
