REAL EYES

GOD HELP ME REALIZE ALL YOU ARE
GIVE ME REAL EYES TO SEE AFAR
TO SEEK FOR MERCY, LOVE, AND GRACE
TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF YOUR FACE
TO THINK ON ALL THINGS HONEST AND TRUE
JUST AND PURE, ALL THINGS OF YOU
WRAP ME IN YOUR THREE-FOLD CORD
FATHER, SPIRIT, YOUR SON-THE WORD
BIND ME TO YOU WITH BANDS OF LOVE
THEN POUR ME OUT AND FILL ME UP
DECREASE ALL THINGS THAT ARE OF ME
INCREASE THE THINGS THAT ARE OF THEE
I WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH
TO SHOW THIS WORLD MY GOD OF LOVE
LORD, I KNOW APART FROM YOU
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO
BUT WITH YOU ALL IS POSSIBLE
I NEED YOUR SPIRIT TO THE FULL
LIFT ME, DRAW ME CLOSE TO YOU
IN YOUR PRESENCE I'M TRANSFORMED, RENEWED
YOU GIVE ME REAL EYES SO THAT I CAN SEE
AND I REALIZE ALL YOU ARE TO ME

DWELLING IN HIM,
PEGGY

This Storm Called Life

I would like to begin by saying, "Happy New Year!"

I know it's been a while since I have posted here. The beginning of 2012 reminds me of the old saying for March, "In like a lion... and I am praying it goes ...out like a lamb." 2012 has come in like a lion, that's for sure! That old lion, satan, is seeking whom he may devour. But I praise God for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! He reigns, Hallelujah! The phrase, "in like a lion" usually speaks of storms and wind. The enemy has tried to get me to run away from this violent storm I have found myself in. But, I have chosen to be like the eagle and instead of running from the storm I am facing, I am allowing it to lift me up closer to my God!

THIS STORM CALLED LIFE

As I face this storm called life
With all its worry and its strife
Sometimes I lose myself, it seems
All my hopes and all my dreams
The wave is big, the wave is high
I lift my eyes to God and cry
He hears my voice upon the wind
He turns His ear to me and then
He reaches down His nail scarred hand
He holds me up, He helps me stand
He chastises as He holds me near
Child of Mine, why did you fear
Remember, I am Love indeed
I will supply your every need
You are Mine, You are redeemed
Cast aside all unbelief
And every hindering weight that binds
Lay aside and leave behind
Lift your eyes and see My face
I am the prize for which you race
I am the wind beneath your wings
I am rejoicing in you as I sing
You are the apple of My eye
I hear even your faintest cry
I know your thoughts, I see your heart
I will never leave you nor depart
Don't be afraid of what you see
Deny yourself and trust in Me
Your faith will rise, your love will grow
I am Your God, be still and know
I reign throughout eternity  
Where I am, you are with Me

I am STILL
Dwelling in Him,
Peggy
