Spirit filled writings

I sat alone in a dark room

With the world upon my shoulders

My heart cried out, to the living God

How can you do what you do

How can you let innocent children die

Or make sad people take their own lives

How can you justify a world of war

Hatred and sin, tell me God how

How can you tell me you love me true

How can you tell me I can live with you

But it says in the bible so it must be true

So now I will pray and confess my sins

Father forgive me,

father forgive my pride

Father forgive my lies

father forgive my hate

Then a fire burned, inside my aching soul

From the top of my head to the tips of my toes

It burnt my sin away, and made me clean again

Then came the warmth that only peace can bring

Then the room filled with light, from the risen Christ

Standing right before me  with arms outstretched wide

Then I saw the nail prints in his hands and feet

Anger turned to tears, as I remember His sacrifice

The pain He endured on that lonely cross

Separated from the father  rejected beaten and scorned

Then he spoke with a gentle voice

I love you my child that’s why I died for you

I came to save the sinners, the liars and the cheats

The murderers and abusers I came to set them free

“but why save them, they have to pay

For the crimes they have committed, the lives they they have took

Then Jesus wept before my eyes and my hardened heart broke

And I realized I was wrong “ forgive me lord now I understand

We are all your precious children  no matter what we do

Finally you see my child  I died for one and all

My heart breaks to see them, in anguish and in pain

Living with the past, the shame of what they did

But I gave them free will and it can’t be forced

The father of lies  have blinded their eyes

They can’t see my grace they can’t see my love

They can’t see my body battered and bruised

But when my children pray for them

My spirit can come and soften their hearts

 Release them from their chains, so they can feel my love

They can feel my grace and hope and peace

They can begin to hope again, no matter what’s in store

I can heal and cleanse them, from all that holds them bound

When they come to me and lay their lives down at the cross

Then I will come and live in them and then at last they will be free

So pray for my children everywhere  no matter what they have done

I know their past I know their sin and I will set them free

God loved the world so much, that he sent his only son, to set his children free

. So if you are a sinner and you want to be set free. Then come to the Saviour and let him set you free

Or if you already know Jesus then pray for the sinners all, he loves each one of us its true

And He will lead us home

a wonderful book of poetry by a friends mum now in the arms of Jesus come and take a look you will be blessed here is a poem to start you off

COME UNTO ME

My dearest Lord, you whisper “Come,   

   Thou burdened one and sore,

And I will give you needed rest.

And comfort, more and more.”

But, O dear Lord, I am so weak,

So tired, so forlorn.

The brightest day seems like the night —

So helpless I , and worn ….

O give me grace to follow Thee

Through sorrow, grief, and tears,

Stretch forth Thine hand and by Thy grace.

Subdue my lurking fears.

For only Thou and Thou alone

Canst give me joy for pain:

And lift my drooping spirit up.

And make me whole again.

COURAGE

Look not upon a cloudless brow,

As knowing not despair,

Nor on a pleasant countenance,

As free from grief or care:

But see a heart,

With courage staid,

That gazes past its sorrow,

And seeks through.

Night’s dark cavalcade,

To find a brighter morrow.
