Hear My Cry O Lord
by Denise McBride
Beyond my clouds, is there a rainbow somewhere?
In the midst of my storm, Lord are you really there?
My trials are overtaking me, and Lord I'm really getting weak,
Lord is it because it's You I fail to continually seek?
I help others when they ask, but MY life is STILL rough
Lord are You sending me a message that what I'm doing is not enough?
Lord I try to do all I can for my family so they can have a "good" life
(Holy spirit begins to speak)
But are you doing ALL the duties of a mother and a wife?
Lord, no one is perfect. ALL these things I can't possibly do
My child it would be easier if your mind stayed on ME and not on you
You come to me continuously seeking forgiveness for the same sin
Then you turn to the very same things over and over again
Yes, I do have mercy on you, and you ARE saved by grace
But you've got to be diligent in all things and continue to seek My face
You haven't gotten rid of all those old hurts and pride
You choose to hold on to them. From Me, there's nothing you can hide
When you gave your life to Me the old man passed away
But he is now returning because from the Word you choose to stray
Your children are now disobedient. You have one trial after the other
It's because you ignore My Word and choose not forgive your "brother"
I've tried to whisper in your ear and get you on the right track
But you ignore Me. So, I'll break you. Eventually to My word you'll come back
Strive to be holy, upright and righteous in all things
In the end you will see the great reward it brings.
The Real Reason
by Denise McBride
All For The Glory of God
What makes me do the things I do?
I must look inside of me, and stop looking at you.
Yes, I must look within, I must go deeper inside.
I can't stop now! Lord, help me kill this pride.
I must make an adjustment. Is it my attitude?
No, it's much deeper. I must get the proper view.
Do I do things in my Savior Jesus' name?
Or do I do things for self, notoriety or fame?
Lord, help me to look deeper not just with physical sight.
There's something I am missing. Lord please shine Your light.
Yes, I remember the rich man who had more than he could store.
His barns were too small for storage so he tore them down to build more.
He never thought about sharing with those who were in need.
He told his soul to eat, drink and be merry. He wanted his soul to be at ease.
He thought his soul was his. All things were for his gain.
God said, "Fool, your soul is mine, and I'm here to stake my claim."
See he never thought of others or said, "I will help."
He wanted to keep everything for the benefit of self.
Oh....now I see, what should decide the things I do.
My motive, not my attitude, should be based on the glory of You.
Destined for Victory
by Gordon Raistrick
With gracious love, to my Savior.
Destined for victory, once you feel the word
Inclined by the spirit, let it be heard.
Opening your heart, let it live within
Empower your being; let it guide you from sin.
It will convict you, with righteous gladness
Things of the world, left without sadness.
Without regret the time has come
To let go of the things you may have done.
Trust in the one that paid the price
Shrug off the patterns of filth, dirt and lice.
Parasitic crud of this world, how it clings
Static electricity of evils doing, how it sings.
Leave it behind, build your faith
Fellowship with Christians, you must not waste.
The love of the son, yours by right
Given unto you one faithful night.
Believe in the one that will set you free
Feel the contentment, with clear eyes you will see.
Open your heart, it will clear your vision
With Gods love and joy, you will know your mission.
God will be with you till your days on earth end
With his wonderful pleasing word, your life will mend.

Contentment
by Gordon Raistrick
With gracious love, to my Savior.
Through the pathways of my mind
a vision of contentment flourishes.
An inner sanctum of peace, left
undisturbed by all that thwarts.
Peaceful fields of gently blowing
wheat, lie in quiet rest.
The melody of heavenly sirens, brings
comfort to the soul, caresses the heart.
Calm of a still night, moon lit waves
on the pond of serenity.
A blissful swim, floating effortlessly,
warmed by the gentle breezes of
His love.
Suspended by invisible strings of
angel kisses, guided by the great
conductor.
A sea of relief, it's depth not measurable,
anger left behind, the moment it is
spawned.
Dancing in the rain shower of forgiveness,
troubles and pain cleansed in an instant.
How joyous to bask in the blue sky days
of the Son's great promise.
Endless galaxies of freedom to revel
in, until the day we shall see Him.

Thank You
by Gordon Raistrick
With gracious love, to my Savior.
Through my Christian life on earth
There is one that hugs my girth.
The ever lasting arms that in circle
Allotment of grace, such a miracle.
Gift from the Father is the son
Combined with spirit to be one.
Thank you Lord for your love
Freely given from the Father Above.
Thank you Lord for your kindness
Always forgiving my blindness.
Thank you Lord, for you bless
Even when I make a mess.
From your hand no one can snatch
You love all without a catch.
Even in my deepest darkest hour
I can trust in your power.
Thank you Lord for being there
Especially when I am unaware.
