Set Us Ablaze

Send down Your fire.

Set us abraze.

We stand before You,

An offering of praise.

Teach us to walk

In all of Your ways.

Oh Holy Father,

Set us abraze.

Ablaze, ablaze

Let our fire burn for You.

Ablaze, ablaze,

Light our world for You.

Consume us with Your glory.

Knock us to our knees.

Send down Your fire

And set us ablaze.

Bring coals from Your altar.

Take our sin away.

Here we are Lord.

Send us out ablaze.

Ablaze, ablaze.

Let us burn for You.

Ablaze, ablaze

Light our world for You.

Ablaze, ablaze.

Let us burn for You.

Ablaze, ablaze

Light our world for You.

Yes, Light our world for You.

Light our world for You.

~After an hour of prayer with my church family, desiring for our church to be set ablaze. Referring to Lev. 9:24 and Isa. 6:6-8 specifically.

Life Is Precious

Life is so precious.

Life is truly a gift.

We walk around so caually

Forgetting this simple truth.

Thank you, Lord, for life.

Thank you for my breath,

For giving me a purpose,

For giving my life worth.

Thank you for my children,

Those born and the one taken home,

Thank you for my husband

Who loves me oh so much.

Thank you, Lord, for family,

For generations of saints.

Thank you for friends who love You,

For placing them in my life.

Yes, life is so precious.

It truly is a gift.

Please help me not take it for granted

As I take my every breath.

May each breath that I breathe

Be worship unto You,

May I see the gift all around me,

May I love because You do.

Christmas 2010

Holy God, Holy King,

Awesome in power, awesome in strength,

Chose to make you, chose to make me

And before we could love him

Before our eyes could see,

He chose to love us

Unconditionally.

There was nothing worthy in us

That He might choose us for His own,

But with mercy and grace

He sent His one and only son.

He lived and he died

That we might truly live.

He led the way, paid the price,

Conquered death, and brought peace.

This Christmas let's focus on living our lives

For our great God and Savior,

For the glory of Jesus Christ.

Think About It (Christmas 2009)

Do we think, think about it?

Do we really think about it?

We think about the baby,

The shepherds, and the star.

We think about the manger

And the wise men from afar,

But do we think, think about it?

Do we really think about it?

God sent His son

As a sacrifice for us:

Holy God from heaven

Sent down to the earth,

Born humbly in a stable

Among the animals and dirt,

Holy God from heaven

Just a tiny babe,

Helpless on His own,

Yet fully God He came.

Do we think, think about it?

Do we really think about it?

When we think about the baby,

Do we see His sovereign plan?

Do our minds stay at the baby,

Or do we look upon our sin?

Do we linger at the manger,

Or do we see Him hanging there,

No longer at the stable,

But on the cross our sin to bear?

When we think about the baby,

Do we love our Risen Lord?

Do we think, think about it?

Do we really think about it?

When we think about the baby,

Let’s think about His life.

He taught us how to live.

He taught us how to love.

When we think about the manger,

Let’s think about the cross.

He died that we might live.

He died that we might love.

When we think about the stable,

Let’s think about the tomb.

He rose that we might live.

He rose that we might love.

Stop and think, think about it.

Stop and really think about it.

A New Year: 2011

Another year, another day,
Another chance to love,
To love the Lord who gave me life,
To love the life He gave,
To start each day with Him
And end each day the same,
To share His love with all around,
To bring glory to His name,
To serve Him in the big things
And in all the little things,
To do as unto the Lord,
To remember the least of these,
To see beauty in the ordinary,
To find Him all around me,
To seek the fruit He’s given,
To live a fruitful life,
To seek holiness and nothing less,
To run the race before me,
To keep my eyes on Jesus,
Yes, to keep my eyes on Him.
