You Are There


You are there
I know you are
In the quietness
Stillness
Silence

You are with me
Forever present
In my heart
Spirit
Soul

You are everything
Now to me
In my life
Wealth
Health

You are in me
Filling me
One with me
United
Entwined

River


River
Cascading down
Immersed in the torrent
Overwhelmed
Sinking slowly into Christ's love
Reaching out to be touched.

Flooded
Completely baptized
Engulfed in the deluge
Satisfied
Drowning in all Christ has done
Gripped in the grasp of the son.

Rooted
Receiving life
Grafted in the father
Purified
Devoting to Christ’s perfect care
unmerited grace freely shared.

Awaken
Spirit alive
Streaming with the divine
Sanctified
Infused with heavens odor
Soaked into the spirits power.

Overflowing
Encasing me
The essence of life
Restoring me
Emanating from deep inside
Empowered to fullness of life.

Unfathomable


Unfathomable
The free gift of his righteousness
Unplumbed
The deep ocean of his loving goodness
Unsearchable
The riches of his gracious hand
Unchangeable
The enjoyment of the Promised Land
Unassailable
The stronghold of my father’s embrace
Unspeakable
The satisfaction as we behold his face

Innumerable
The blessings on me that are showered
Incessant
The torrent of the spirit towards me powered
Inconceivable
The thought that God should love me
Incorruptible
The spirit living and making me free
Incurable
The passion raging inside my heart
Infinite
The fullness of Christ in my every part.

Fortified
As I put on the belt of truth
Forsaken
As I cast off the lies of my youth
Forgotten
As I lose the desires of the past
Forgiven
As I revel in your sacrifice at last
Forward
As I leave my sin buried without a trace
Forever
As I live in the waterfall of your grace

Unmerited Favor


Unmerited favor
Freely given
More than I can contain
Overwhelming treasure
Poured into me.

Igniting a fire
An eternal flame
Consuming all my doubt
Living by His spirit
United with me

Rivers of grace
Overflowing inside
All I have freely received
Resting in the fullness
Placed in me.

The Oil of Your Word


The oil of your word
Drips through my hands, anointing me
Your sweet aroma
Floods through my senses, filling me
Embraced with you love, releasing me.

The wave of your spirit
Pours through my life, changing me
Your divine power
Pierces through my soul, healing me
Filled with your fullness, transforming me.

The realm of your glory
Breaks through my being, connecting me
A river of blessing
Flows through my all, enabling me
Released with your grace, embracing me.
