100% Pure

No lying no cheating
No glory it’s fleeting
No styling in front of men
Look modest in front of them
No raunchy or lurid talk
Calm down with that sexy walk
Look only to please the Lord
Let go of this filthy world
Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes
Pride of your life— boastings disgusted
Lean upon man no more My dear
Reclaim holiness loud and clear
Find joy in only serving Me
I gave you life abundantly
Don’t let the world put you in snares
Caught up in all those earthly cares
Choke up the Word I placed in you
Make you loose faith that I am true
In the end only the Word
Will stand above all that you’ve heard
Take heed to it each verse is true
Let it complete My work in you
To holiness I call you to
And righteousness is what keeps you
Purity is your end result
Hide these My words inside your heart
The end is near—they run in fear
Soon the world won’t even be there
To see you glorified by God
Dressed all in white and two feet shod
With angel wings to take you high
Above the rest, high in the sky

The Word Reveals

Have you ever been there? You knew Him once, you were so close, but somehow you got away? You know how to fake it now and get by, but deep down you know it isn't like before. You gave up to circumstances and thought if He cared, He would come after you. If you draw nigh to God, He will draw nigh to you. Will He always be this merciful? "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end". Follow me.

The Word Reveals

I open my mouth and speak, professing Christianity.
“Well, praise the Lord!”
“Hallelujah!”
“God bless!”
A cliché for every statement you make
All the while defiled and tainted from within

Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof
The righteous turn away from me
Deserted I feel…I wonder ‘Can they see through me?’
I lack power and I wonder why
Could it be the fact that I don't talk to Him, fellowship with Him day to day?
Could it be because I ignore His Word?

His Word.
I sit in the pew and glance at It laying there beside me.
It has been so long since I have read It’s contents
So long since I fed upon its goodness
I venture to study It.
I carefully crack It open, flipping through the pages

The Word, It amazes me, It dazes me
As a brilliant light through the darkest, It overtakes me
Blinded by It’s intensity I am better able to see
The Truth pierces through me like a two-edged sword
Dividing my soul from my spirit
Splitting the joints from the marrow of my limbs
Halted and deformed I am, my fault is visible

Alone, I look within and see a void
So wide and deep it can fit the vastness of the wind
So empty I am, I fall to my knees
I cry out to God with one desperate plea
"Fill me afresh. Make my heart receptive to You
Restore me Lord and teach me anew"

Instantly He heard me and engulfed me in His flame
And gave me what I asked in His powerful Name
He filled me afresh and gave me a song
And said in His presence is where I belong

Oh Lord, let your Word reveal in me
The fullness of Your glory and Father, change me.

The Greatness of God-Archives

The Greatness of God


My God…is a patient God.
HE is all knowing, magnificent in HIS grace...in HIS strength. HIS
purpose is beyond my thoughts, my ideas, my expectations. HIS promises
are unperceivable- unbelievable, yet by faith I have the privilege to count
on each one...
HE is a tender God, for HE knows the faults of man- his frailty, his
incompetence, his ignorance, his unstable spirit- and HE leads him gently
back home when he has gone astray...
Merciful is my God indeed! Forgiveness lasts forever. HIS love
extends throughout ones life time...
Chances come- and keep coming. HE is the God of a second chance...
And even if He is clad in mercy and grace...although love and kindness
come from the palm of HIS hand and goodness flows from the words of HIS
lips...though HE bears HIS children tenderly in the embrace of HIS
arms...
HE stands HIGH above HIS creation with omnipotence in HIS hands and
judgments from HIS lips...the world in the embrace of HIS arms- able to
crush it if HE so desired...
