By Your Stripes I am healed
By Your blood my salvation is sealed
Forgetting the things I left behind
I am no longer lost
I am no longer blind
You are my maker and my healer
My redeemer and my best friend
You alone can satisfy my thirsty soul to no end
You are the treasure of my heart
The next breath I need to live
Without You I am helpless
But Your strength You never cease to give
My despair and my weeping do not come in vain
I lay them down at the foot of the cross
Every thought and tear that cause me pain
When I suffer it takes me deeper
It makes me stronger in my faith
No matter what I face in life
With You I know that I am safe
Your presence overwhelms me
Your praise is like the sweetest of perfumes
The greatness of Your majesty
My little mind just can’t consume
Hallelujah Praise You Father
Holy One and Mighty King
To You alone I give all glory
Your name my heart forever sings

okay Lisa, so now you just need to put these words to melodies. Have you considered turning your words into songs?
ReplyDeleteThank you Morgan, I have met with a composer but I haven't heard anything :o/ It's ok I am ok with just sharing them because I have heard many of times testimonies of things speaking to individuals and thats all that matters ;o)

Amen.
There was a Spanish poet who lived in the 1500s--his name was John of the Cross (John Yepes). One of his lines was "Ah, the sheer grace." You may want to read some of his poetry sometime--it is very deep and powerful.
God bless you and your family.
