Living God

The Oldest Wooden Tree

Sanctuary
I long for you my Lord
As I walk into Your vestibule
My strength fully restored
Your grace is my refuge
–
In Your sweet sanctuary
I am sheltered from the storm
Your word, my sword, my shield
Your grace is my refuge
–
Your arms so tight around me
So soft and oh so warm
I am always safe…I’m with You
Your grace is my refuge
–
In Your Holy presence
I praise Your Holy name
My precious Lord and Saviour
Your grace is my refuge

We always have to remind ourselves that Jesus is always beside us, behind and inside us. We need to let Him comfort us.
–
Continuously communicate with Him and tell Him how you feel. Trust in His perfect and everlasting love for you. Pray unceasingly. Let His Holy Spirit fill you. Feel the healing power of Jesus. Even on the coldest of days our hearts are kindled by the fire of His love for us. Ooh… It’s getting warm in here!
You are so loved!

Rest well my friend
Heaven Bound
Heaven bound
–
Hallelujah He is coming
Very soon the trump will sound
Hallelujah He is coming
We’ll meet Jesus in the clouds
–
Live His love, leave our pride
Egress on, with hearts held high
Overcomer’s side by side
On this journey by and by
–
When many arrows point our way
His sword and shield, let them fly
One foot standing on this earth
One heart looking toward the sky
–
We see dimly through the glass
God works all things for our good
We need not know the day or time
God’s perfect love, understood
–
Hallelujah He is coming
Very soon the trump will sound
Hallelujah, He is coming
We’ll meet Jesus in the clouds
No more crying no more pain
No more death, nor dying
In the twinkling of an eye
Alive with Christ eternally

I Glory in My Saviors Love for Me
It’s paramount to see
In this world I may have nothing
With Jesus in my heart
I have everything
–
When diverse trials come my way
And try to take my peace
I count it all joy, my friend
He surely tempers me
–
Perfecting me in wondrous ways
I knew not of before
To glory in my Saviours love
Better things in store

Simply Free
Let us sit by the fire
Come with me friend
To the banks of the river
At Lampreys bend
–
I’ll cook you a kettle
Of the finest fish
We’ll eat of some brown bread
From copper dish
–
With a smidge of sweet butter
Steamed o’er rocks,…river view
With some birch paper glasses
Filled with heavenly dew
–
Not a care in the world
On this bed of green grass
Nothing here to bother
This little lass
–
It’s so nice to be resting
Relaxing in Brie
No worries, no fretting
Just simply free
–
It’s so nice to be resting
Relaxing in Brie
No worries, no fretting
God’s got you and me

Gods View
Quietly, I walk away
Although I am no coward
I sleep in peace, beyond all fear
I wield no earthly sword
–
I swiftly move through scorching fires
His word, a mighty sword
His heart inside my heart of hearts
I’m safe from worldly wars
–
By God’s own arm, delivered true
I’ve overcome all odds
My head held high, heart toward the sky
I forgive by the grace of God
–
By His power, by His strength
Holy Spirit filled
Our dear Lord Jesus never fails
His love in me instilled
–
God affirmed, my bellevue
Walking in His word
Not by my power, nor by my strength
But by my Spirit says, The Lord
–
And by His power, by His strength
No other way, or view
Our dear Lord Jesus never fails
His love in me and you
–
Words and Music by
Kelly S Griswold
Have a wonderful God blessed day friend k
Unceasing Prayer
I’ve sailed for miles in creaky boats
From pier to pier through daunting seas
Hearing wind and water sing
What laps o’er rocks and toughness brings
–
Divine and loving mercy donned
Unceasing love is what saved me
Treading balanced beams in prayer
To reap and sow His blessings fair
–
Jesus, oh Jesus
How you lifted me
Jesus, oh Jesus
I’m floating on with Thee
–
Pouring down from Christ The Lord
The oil of joy and stilly healing
Glued and seasoned seams and board
By God, His graceful tempering
–
His love has truly freed my soul
Lord, You set my Spirit free
Once I grasped the letting go
Where all is calm, stable, free
–
Jesus oh Jesus
How You lifted me
Jesus I’m sailing
Floating on with Thee
–

For You
I’m not just chasing rainbow sun
When I say I love someone
I cannot change, on loving people
It’s as real as rain on steeples
–
Beading up on bended ivy
Climbing high and hanging free
I see my Fathers’ mirrored view
Echo trills, that sound of Thee
–
Bringing all the way back home
The happiness of letting go
Sweet, the song, rolls on and on
‘Specially on a springtime stroll
–
In stillness, giving up my treasures
All to Jesus, weight and measure
God my best friend under none
When I say I love someone
–
I’ll watch as pearls bend, tip and drop
Just because … well love is love
I’ll wait … From distances near crops
For real love never fades nor stops
–
A gentle rose in hopes repose
Grows and grows and Heaven knows
To love someone, I’ll water you
For His glory, His will, I’ll do
–

Tuned To Thee
I’d rather be discerning
Than judgemental, if I may
Float atop the water
Ride above the fray
–
My Lord, my light, my compass
On course, my rudder straight
His Heart upon my heart
To gently lead the way
–
Perfectly tuned to Thee
Guided by His word
With the song of the lark
Steered away from the storm
A warning the heart has heard
–
Stayed above the fierce melee
I am not dismayed
I Slice it clean, Let God allay
I’ll not be afraid
–
Sailing on In His Holy Spirit
Ceasing to engage
Letting go, letting God
Forgiveness wins the day
