I praise You as I rise
in the morning while
it is yet dark…

And in the darkness I
praise You as I ask for
Your life light to enlighten
me

I call out aloud for Your
wisdom and understanding
as I eat of Your living word.

I ask for You to always
stand by me as Your love
always has so I would
never be alone

I cried out in the mornings
beginning for You to heal my
soul and spirit, asking for
shelter dear Lord, from the
the evil of this world.

I ask for You to always be
my shield, to protect me
from the arrows which the
enemy fires at me each day

And I see You, Lord, in the
morning as the sun smiles
chasing away the remaining
remnants of the darkness
which sought to embrace me

And within its beauty I find
my spirit being lifted by its
radiant rays empowering me to
happily, praise Your name

For all things are possible
when we trust in You believing
the promises which forever
live in Your eternal word

And I find such an amazing
treasure within them which
brings a lasting inner peace
filling my heart and soul
with Your heavenly blessings.

Deuteronomy 6:5
You are to love the LORD your God with all
your heart, all your soul, and all your
strength.

Psalm 95:1-11
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us
make a joyful noise to the rock of our
salvation! Let us come into his presence
with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful
noise to him with songs of praise! For the
Lord is a great God and a great King above
all gods. In his hand are the depths of the
earth; the heights of the mountains are his
also. The sea is his, for he made it, and
his hands formed the dry land.

I was found dead by He who has life to give
No longer chained to deaths deadly sting
My scars have been healed within my essence
And now my heart in sweet praise daily sings

The law will no longer control my life
By belief in His name I have been set free
The sinful passion, which once enslaved me
Died, as my Lord Jesus was nailed to a tree

I felt the power in His life-giving blood
As all the filth within me was cast away
Never have I dreamed at any time before
That I would taste of such a heavenly day

With each new morning, I rise with a purpose
Being counted as one raised up from the dead
Each day I now bear fruit for my Lord alone
Being part of Him whose love is my daily bread.

(January 1, 1977)

Revelation 2:17

He who has an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit says to the churches To him who
overcomes, to him I will give some of the
hidden manna, and I will give him a white
stone, and a new name written on the stone
which no one knows but he who receives it.’

1 Peter 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus, the Messiah! Because of his great
mercy he has granted us a new birth,
resulting in an immortal hope through
the resurrection of Jesus, the Messiah,
from the dead.

Shall my heart not look
to you with each heartbeat,
with each waking breath
which finds life within

Shall my eyes climb upon
the wings of heavenly
winds, seeking to reach
your abode

Shall I not hunger for you
dearly and deeply, in
spiritual places that few
come to really know

My spirit shall hunger daily
for your spirits understanding
and wisdom to enlighten me

For yes, I shall always seek
your grace and love to fill my
life with its abundant spiritual
beauty throughout my days

Along with Your wonderful
creations, which astound my
eyes with many endearing
living beauties sharing my
world

Yes I shall always seek You
for the blessings which only
you send my way each day to
enrich my life’s path…

For you, Lord, are my true
love, and God, and you will
always be my eternal treasure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 104:33
I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will
sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Psalm 5:11
But let all who take refuge in You be glad,
Let them ever sing for joy; And may You
shelter them, That those who love Your name
may exult in You.

All My Love

I found I came to thirst for something
And for what reason I did not know
Yet the Lord, He satisfied my thirst
With a sweet power I will never let go

I hungered for that special something
Within I felt such excruciating pains
But He satisfied my greatest hunger
Before I even began to praise His name

When I had fallen into a great hellish pit
Where I thought my life would surely end
My God, He blessed me with his forgiveness
As He gently washed away all remaining sins

Before I knew what It was I really needed
All my wants and needs He has truly satisfied
Leaving me now only wanting to give to Him
My hearts love every moment of my life.
