Can't hinder The Holy Spirit

 Can't still The Spirit, Holy Spirit speaks 

Praise Him with trumpet, lyre, & harp 

Dance while you play, as you breathe, say 

"Praise You, Your double-edged sword is sharp"

Divides soul & spirit, marrow from a joint 

Judges even heart, all thoughts and stances 

To God nothing's hidden, Your sin escape, it didn't 

He's seen all dirges and dances

We all give our account, stand before God

We're all facing judgement on the day 

All laid bare, every hurt and care 

Well done, if faithful servant, you'll hear Him say

Divides soul & spirit, marrow from a joint 

Judges even heart, all thoughts and stances 

To God nothing's hidden, Your sin escape, it didn't 

He's seen all dirges and dances

Divides soul & spirit, marrow from a joint 

Judges even heart, all thoughts and stances 

To God nothing's hidden, Your sin escape, it didn't 

He's seen all dirges and dances.

Psalms 150:3-6

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

Hebrews 4:12-13 

12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Matthew 25:21

21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Too much joy for the blues

 Be careful what you do or say, ain’t no sense in secrets 

In the end you reap just what you sow 

Rich in heart, He does His part 

Angels sure to know which way you go 

Tell my big brother the shape I’m in 

Please put in a Word  for me 

Saint Peter may just shut the gate 

You had your joy you see

Ain’t  too much joy brother is there enough 

Sensed the shape I’s in

Won’t you put in a word for me 

Maybe I’ll see you again

Tell my big brother the shape I’m in 

Please put in a Word  for me 

Saint Peter may just shut the gate 

You had your joy you see

Tell my big brother the shape I’m in 

Please put in a Word  for me 

Saint Peter may just shut the gate 

You had your joy you see.

Psalms 51:17

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart

you, God, will not despise.

Luke 16:19-26

The Rich Man and Lazarus

“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

Unity, liberty, & love

 Unity is love, Acceptance God-given 

Let’s not fight over non-essentials

I’ll show love, you show patience 

Meet  at The throne with His credentials 

Liberty is one thing, love is above  

Love is above every other 

What Paul is stating, ain’t no room for hating 

Every single human is your brother 

We are in the world today 

We’re human and we’re spirit 

When we’re choosing unity 

We are right there near it 

Liberty is one thing, love is above  

Love is above every other 

What Paul is stating, ain’t no room for hating 

Every single human is your brother 

Liberty is one thing, love is above  

Love is above every other 

What Paul is stating, ain’t no room for hating 

Every single human is your brother.

Romans 14:1

The Weak and the Strong

Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.

Debt

 Sin is a debt I continually owe

I’m like the man born blind 

I’ve seen the Son, know He’s The One 

I’ve found All I’ll find 

Worship is my one response

Being brought to Life 

I‘ve been bailed, sin was nailed 

Paid at Cross of Christ 

Loving others now my goal 

My one way to be Him 

Law fulfilled, Christ once killed 

Through love I let ’em see Him 

Worship is my one response

Being brought to Life 

I‘ve been bailed, sin was nailed 

Paid at Cross of Christ 

Worship is my one response

Being brought to Life 

I‘ve been bailed, sin was nailed 

Paid at Cross of Christ.

John 9:35-38

Spiritual Blindness

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

“Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”

Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”

Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.

Romans 13:8

Love Fulfills the Law

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.

Actual impostor

 What faith have I, am I actually real 

Is my offering pleasing 

Can’t conform, can transform 

God’s will for me ain’t a teasing 

In our thoughts we think we’re all that 

We grasp for more than we oughta

We can all relax, just face the facts

We’re all His son or daughter 

What is a man, just blood and bone 

Without the spirit, nothing 

He blows along, sings his song

Whole time believes he’s bluffing 

In our thoughts we think we’re all that 

We grasp for more than we oughta

We can all relax, just face the facts

We’re all His son or daughter 

In our thoughts we think we’re all that 

We grasp for more than we oughta

We can all relax, just face the facts

We’re all His son or daughter .

Romans 12:1-3

A Living Sacrifice

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

God sustains

 God created me and you 

Dreamed  us up and made us 

Placed  us in the land we’re in 

Heard our cries, inlaid us 

God sustained both me and you 

God saved us all 

God sustains us to be true 

Place our lives , bow all 

How can I give all to God 

I’ll give all I can 

What is possible with our God

Impossible with man

God sustained both me and you 

God saved us all 

God sustains us to be true 

Place our lives , bow all 

God sustained both me and you 

God saved us all 

God sustains us to be true 

Place our lives , bow all.

Deuteronomy 26:5-10

Then you shall declare before the LORD your God: “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous. But the Egyptians mistreated us and made us suffer, subjecting us to harsh labor. Then we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors, and the LORD heard our voice and saw our misery, toil and oppression. So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders. He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey; and now I bring the firstfruits of the soil that you, LORD, have given me. ” Place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before him.

Luke 18:27

Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

New slave

 Old guy was slave to sin

Old heart was bent 

Unwilling spirit, though right there near it 

New heart Heaven sent 

I’ve a New song to sing 

I’ve a New heart to bring 

New way to behave 

New slave 

Wouldn’t’ve known I could ever obey

Couldn’t’ve seen the Light 

Every breath led down to death 

Had the wrong heart in the fight 

I’ve a New song to sing 

I’ve a New heart to bring 

New way to behave 

New slave 

I’ve a New song to sing 

I’ve a New heart to bring 

New way to behave 

New slave.

Psalms 51:10-12

Create in me a pure heart, O God,

and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence

or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation

and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Romans 6:15-16

Slaves to Righteousness

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey —whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

Prophecy and Psalmody

 586, what a year, Babylon burns it down 

If you're alive in 585

Enslaved under new crown 

Jeremiah, looking back 

Sees what once was royalty 

Egypt flirted, then deserted 

Hard lesson to learn on loyalty 

Judah gone, exiled out 

City now deserted

Royal once, now a dunce 

From God their eyes averted 

Look to Jesus, therefore 

Since we’re so surrounded 

Run you're race to see His face 

Perfect faith He founded.

Lamentations 1:1

1 How deserted lies the city,

once so full of people!

How like a widow is she,

who once was great among the nations!

She who was queen among the provinces

has now become a slave.

Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Status of kings and duties of slaves

 

Strange  how we have both sides 

Two sides active in one 

Presence of Christ and pressure of sin

Only have Peace through the Son

Status of kings and duties of slaves

All mashed up into one 

Born to boast, we’re given The Ghost 

Til our suffering’s done

Hope is so powerful, hope is eternal 

Hope is our boast in His glory

Our active hope, His course to cope 

While we live in His story

Status of kings and duties of slaves

All mashed up into one 

Born to boast, we’re given The Ghost 

Til our suffering’s done

Status of kings and duties of slaves

All mashed up into one 

Born to boast, we’re given The Ghost 

Til our suffering’s done.

Romans 5:1-5

Peace and Hope

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Genesis 4:16

So Cain went out from the LORD’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

Return to You

 I’m a man of wrath 

I'm of the earth 

Far from You I’m just sad and weak 

I have turned away, no good to do or say

Meritless, my one choice is seek 

Return to you, my shepherd 

Return to You, my God

All my life depends upon Your keep

Return to you, my shepherd 

Return to You, my God

Without You this man is asleep 

Thank You that You’re good

You are omnipresent 

Faithful  beyond comprehension 

When there’s no one righteous, not one understands 

Still You’re Shepherd, absolving our dissension

Return to you, my shepherd 

Return to You, my God

All my life depends upon Your keep

Return to you, my shepherd 

Return to You, my God

Without You this man is asleep 

Return to you, my shepherd 

Return to You, my God

All my life depends upon Your keep

Return to you, my shepherd 

Return to You, my God

Without You this man is asleep.

Mark 14:37-38

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Romans 3:10-12

As it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one;

there is no one who understands;

there is no one who seeks God.

All have turned away,

they have together become worthless;

there is no one who does good,

not even one.”

Constant courting

 For  you to you through you babe 

It’s constant courting 

I give myself up for you babe 

My mind and self still sorting 

I’ll commit to cleansing 

I’ll present you clean 

Show you shameless, holy, blameless 

Love my King and queen 

Royal pair we all are 

Christ  gave Himself for us 

First appointed, crowned, anointed

Changed to Royal from dust

I’ll commit to cleansing 

I’ll present you clean 

Show you shameless, holy, blameless 

Love my King and queen 

I’ll commit to cleansing 

I’ll present you clean 

Show you shameless, holy, blameless 

Love my King and queen.

Ephesians 5:25-28

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Tide is rising

 We pass each other on the beach 

Pretend our lives are sweet 

We pass the dogs like table salt 

At least they’re within reach 

Tide is rising 

Waters high ( I need a shoulder to lean on)

Tide is rising 

Waters high ( I need a boat I’m seen on)

Why cant we hug like it’s ‘99

Our hearts in sync back then

All it takes is a renewal 

We can rise high again 

Tide is rising 

Waters high ( I need a shoulder to lean on)

Tide is rising 

Waters high ( I need a boat I’m seen on).

Unhindered

 Long  as we stay focussed 

We seek and we find 

Teaching, bold in proclamation

We then run our race, marked out for us all

Run to Christ, He built and owns The Station

He’s sitting in the throne room, initial work all done 

Christ endured the cross, scorned it’s shame 

Our race to run, fix eyes on the Son

Keep heart for good to glorify His name

What happens if we lose heart 

What if we look away 

What tangles us in our web of woe

The world of weariness, death the end of sin 

Unfinished race, no place or show

That’s the thing with Jesus

He’s there to fix our eyes 

Always and forever He’s alive 

Up to us to seek Him, saints surround so seek Him 

He’s our second chance to survive.

Acts 28:30-31

For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!

Hebrews 12:1-3

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Quiet blessings

 How did His children not be quiet 

Why did they grumble 

He led them through with much ado 

The least they have is humble

He led them through, He leads us too 

We’re still prone to noise 

Born to bless, He said yes 

I am, you’ll see my joys

We’re prone to doubt, we haven’t seen 

So long and yet He tarries

If we could see , why wait for free 

We’d see the cost He carries

He led them through He leads us too 

We’re still prone to noise 

Born to bless, He said yes 

I am, you’ll see my joys

He led them through He leads us too 

We’re still prone to noise 

Born to bless, He said yes 

I am, you’ll see my joys.

Deuteronomy 8:4

Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

Mark 14:60-62

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”

“I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

I'm not Judas

 I'm a sinner, I'm a saint 

My humanity's a given 

Priests and teachers, scared overreachers 

Can even Judas be forgiven 

Betraying Jesus, King of kings 

Called son of perdition 

While I sin, still hemmed in 

Betrayal, not my mission 

Tricky question, Judas' choice 

destined doomed to debris

O my fate, love not hate 

He's laid His hand on me 

Betraying Jesus, King of kings 

Called son of perdition 

While I sin, still hemmed in 

Betrayal, not my mission 

Betraying Jesus, King of kings 

Called son of perdition 

While I sin, still hemmed in 

Betrayal, not my mission.

Psalms 139:5 (ESV)

5 You hem me in, behind and before,

and lay your hand upon me.

Luke 22:2-4(NIV)

2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. 3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus.

John 17:12 (KJV)

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

We all hurt

 It’s not just you on your piece of dirt 

Look up 

look out 

we’re everywhere 

& we all hurt 

We all hurt, we all bleed red 

We all have tears that flow 

We sit  proud in our nation-state 

All  no-gods on show

Doesn’t matter language, tribe, or team 

What colour hat or shirt 

Folks all know in heart of hearts 

We all know we hurt 

We all hurt, we all bleed red 

We all have tears that flow 

We sit  proud in our nation-state 

All  no-gods on show

We all hurt, we all bleed red 

We all have tears that flow 

We sit  proud in our nation-state 

All  no-gods on show.

Deuteronomy 32:21

They made me jealous by what is no god

and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.

I want fans not friends

 I’m ashamed to admit the statement is true

Can’t  I just trust Your plan

I should be teaching, not overreaching 

Proclaiming & healing man

Interesting spirit makes me want fans 

Same spirit  dogged others in past 

Earth is enticed, I follow Christ

One who’s both first and last 

Spirit is strong for followers and fans

Friends too, as long as arms-length 

Folks make a mess, still I say yes 

I can befriend through His strength

Christ could’ve had fans, He could’ve called down 

Legions to protect and adore Him

He chose to die, stay up there and die 

True friend to those who are for Him.

1 Corinthians 1:11-12

My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

Matthew 4:10-11

Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Respect is given, not taken

 You seem away, far off today 

Yet I’m holding You herewith

Yes I’ve sinned, You’ve seen and binned 

My old minds now a myth

In control of this old soul

In mercy You’ve bought us

Ne’er too late,  we long await 

From detention, brought us

From the beginning there’s been sin, not new even under the sun 

You only need our wills to awaken 

As much as we try to set ourselves high

Respect is given, not taken

You break through noise, unbound by doors

Right up to the edge we’re driven 

Some things we don’t know, not all is on show 

Offence is taken, not given. 

Acts 5:17-19

The Apostles Persecuted

Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out.

Matthew 13:53-57

A Prophet Without Honor

When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”

Barren height

 God doesn’t change, He’s always good 

Never turns to the left or right 

Always a’flame, we honour Your Name 

Go again to our barren height 

Wherever you go, there you are 

Can’t get away from your climb 

You  know you can’t stop, you see the top 

You know it’ll cost to spend time 

We do what it takes, can’t outspend God

He’s there, waiting and molding 

We quake and squirm, He holds firm

Eternal Earth He’s holding

Wherever you go, there you are 

Can’t get away from your climb 

You  know you can’t stop, you see the top 

You know it’ll cost to spend time 

Wherever you go, there you are 

Can’t get away from your climb 

You  know you can’t stop, you see the top 

You know it’ll cost to spend time.

Numbers 23:3

Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stay here beside your offering while I go aside. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet with me. Whatever he reveals to me I will tell you.” Then he went off to a barren height.

Psalms 75:3

When the earth and all its people quake,

it is I who hold its pillars firm.

God He heals

 God is healing  me to use my brain 🧠 to re-learn how to learn

Thank the Lord I’m still in His sights

Privileged position, fixed by Great Physician 

We're destined for great heights 

God He heals 

God He heals 

He’s the One who made us so He knows

God He heals 

God He heals 

Only One tree of life grows 

Why are we so loved by our Creator 

Made us in His image to fully heal 

Even when we don’t know how He does it 

Both sides of the river leaves are real 

God He heals 

God He heals 

He’s the One who made us so He knows

God He heals 

God He heals 

Only One tree of life grows 

God He heals 

God He heals 

He’s the One who made us so He knows

God He heals 

God He heals 

Only One tree of life grows.

Revelation 22:1-2

Eden Restored

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

My Kadesh

 One of our largest obstacles, barrier, threat

Looms above us like a cloud 

Second to salvation, our imagination 

Screens reality like a shroud 

Don’t decide to die in desert, Be bold like Caleb

Silenced crowd around him, spoke in power

Knew of danger, giants a risk

Appointed for this hour 

God appoints us in our times 

We’re weak, sometimes, in flesh

God, in grace, makes clear to us 

This may be my Kadesh 

Your Kadesh takes different forms 

Mine sprang from sickness

A stroke meant I could live or die 

I now don’t question quickness 

Life is fragile, life is sweet 

We get to live here free

Our Kadesh is in our flesh 

Trust in God and see.

Numbers 13:27-30

They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.

The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan. ”

Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”

Barren Heights

 We can't even look up today to see a barren height 

Our eyes are glued to a phone 

While we've ravished, You have lavished 

You could've left us alone 

We've all sat by the road, we're nomads 

Still defiling land today 

Business suits, yet prostitutes

Wickedness, our way 

You've still shown Your love for us 

Still sinners yet You came 

Tortured, killed, Your blood we spilled 

Still saved in Jesus name

We've all sat by the road, we're nomads 

Still defiling land today 

Business suits, yet prostitutes

Wickedness, our way 

We've all sat by the road, we're nomads 

Still defiling land today 

Business suits, yet prostitutes

Wickedness, our way.

Jeremiah 3:2

2 “Look up to the barren heights and see.

Is there any place where you have not be

en ravished?

By the roadside you sat waiting for lovers,

sat like a nomad in the desert.

You have defiled the land

with your prostitution and wickedness.

Romans 5:8

⁸ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Sinkholes & slips

 Obedience is a key, Persist, persevere 

Whatever help we need will be there 

God knows we’re weak, mighty men are meek

Call  to God for help so we can care 

Thank God He helps us, He saves & sustains 

He’s advocate & mediator

There are sinkholes and slips, we testify with lips 

He carries all our burden as Creator 

Son, Holy Spirit, both sent from Father 

Into our world that’s broken and bruised 

He’s seen how things are done, He’s always been the One 

Eternally  providing all that’s used 

Thank God He helps us, He saves & sustains 

He’s advocate & mediator

There are sinkholes and slips, we testify with lips 

He carries all our burden as Creator 

Thank God He helps us, He saves & sustains 

He’s advocate & mediator

There are sinkholes and slips, we testify with lips 

He carries all our burden as Creator.

Numbers 11:17

I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.

John 15:26-27

The Work of the Holy Spirit

“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father —the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

Just can’t hide from God

 Trust God and rest, He knitted us 

He has the whole picture and plan

We run and hide, not why He died 

Wonderful works, we’re man

God sees all, even our thoughts

Our hearts laid bare before Him

We’ll give an account, once we surmount 

Effort to obey and adore Him 

We seek and strive, He sees all works 

He knows of all intent 

He’s cop and Judge, His love won’t budge 

His justice Heaven sent

God sees all, even our thoughts

Our hearts laid bare before Him

We’ll give an account, once we surmount 

Effort to obey and adore Him 

God sees all, even our thoughts

Our hearts laid bare before Him

We’ll give an account, once we surmount 

Effort to obey and adore Him.

Psalms 139:7-14

Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me

and the light become night around me,”

even the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day,

for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

Hebrews 4:11-13

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Wisdom comes from Word

 You give us a new Word each time we read or hear 

You’re always speaking through the Word

Every time we read, You fulfil a need

Wisdom made from what’s heard 

Wisdom comes from Word 

Wisdom comes from Word 

A practice that pays 

Wisdom comes from Word 

Wisdom comes from Word 

Understand our days 

Other books are good, we learn in lots of ways 

The fact is all things aren’t revealed 

As a foil for Word, trust anything heard 

Word makes us a master in His field

Wisdom comes from Word 

Wisdom comes from Word 

A practice that pays 

Wisdom comes from Word 

Wisdom comes from Word 

Understand our days 

Wisdom comes from Word 

Wisdom comes from Word 

A practice that pays 

Wisdom comes from Word 

Wisdom comes from Word 

Understand our days. 

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Hold lightly to the land

 We  don’t know how long we have 

We don’t know what we hold

He knows all, trumpet call 

His earth, His hot, His cold

It seems that we, His children 

We’ve inherited so much 

Treat, my dear, a call so clear 

Protect, steward, touch

One day we’ll find what’s left behind 

What’s newly Created, Built

Until then, its sowing sin

On Jesus  laid our guilt 

It seems that we, His children 

We’ve inherited so much 

Treat, my dear, a call so clear 

Protect, steward, touch

It seems that we, His children 

We’ve inherited so much 

Treat, my dear, a call so clear 

Protect, steward, touch.

Leviticus 25:8-12

The Year of Jubilee

“‘Count off seven sabbath years—seven times seven years—so that the seven sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years. Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land. Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan. The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines. For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.

Delegation of Hope

 Cease a curse from following a line 

One God gives that power

Abandon Him to go after them 

Land will fail to flower

May, in fact, never see home

Deported, exiled, expelled

Can’t see the one, could be grandson 

Someone in line rebelled 

From the top of all things 

He knows just who swings 

He’s the scales, the judge, the clock 

For  us alive, He’s given us drive 

We can cease,  cure, and unlock

Why He’s given us power, given control 

They’re spiritual, timeless things

He trusts us with these, in Him we please 

Delegation of Hope it brings. 

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Deuteronomy 29:24-28

All the nations will ask: “Why has the LORD done this to this land? Why this fierce, burning anger?”

And the answer will be: “It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the covenant he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt. They went off and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, gods they did not know, gods he had not given them. Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against this land, so that he brought on it all the curses written in this book. In furious anger and in great wrath the LORD uprooted them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now.”

Luke 9:1-2

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

Same song

 I’ll put my foot in the river I’ll write whatever You say

My role on earth is basic: bring You honor 

People say I should be climbing, I’m just glad I’m rhyming 

I stop hearing You I’m a goner 

Same song every time, Same song indeed 

Ain’t no need to change just to suit ‘em

When I hear Your voice, I  daily make a choice 

I could sing ‘em loud or I could mute ‘em

Every songs the same, my choices keep a’coming 

World’ll push the pattern loud and long 

Wanted  us conformed, we  transformed

Me  & Stevie sing the same song

Same song every time, Same song indeed 

Ain’t no need to change just to suit ‘em

When I hear Your voice, I  daily make a choice 

I could sing ‘em loud or I could mute ‘em

Same song every time, Same song indeed 

Ain’t no need to change just to suit ‘em

When I hear Your voice, I  daily make a choice 

I could sing ‘em loud or I could mute ‘em.

Romans 12:1-2

A Living Sacrifice

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will.
