Patience and Mercy

Patience and mercy where are you?

I walk as if I have been offended again

I pout as if only I matter

Like a silly child with no thumb

To put into my mouth

Really!!!!

God, this is so me!

You must be tired of me

Always doing this!

No patience! No mercy!

Please forgive me as I need to

Forgive others

Is it as hard for You to forgive me?

To show me patience when I’m childish

To show me Your tender mercies

When I fail

As it is for me to show patience

And mercy towards others?

No, because You forgive and forget!

Your tender mercies are new every morning

Your patience is a never-ending supply

I am so sorry!

In The Presence

In the presence of my Dear Friend

No sin can stand-all torment ends

Forever grateful to walk this way

His Resurrection power has come to stay

Battles have been fought to set me free

Defeat is no longer a choice for me

Anger and hate have met the mighty Foe

Rejection and self-pity have been told to go

Rage went on down it’s tormenting road

Shame had to release it’s terrible hold

Oh! Wonderful Risen Glorious King!

Let the anthems of Your praises ring!

Beautiful rapture fills my soul

By Your mercy I’ve been made whole!

It is finished! It is done!

In the Presence of the Holy One!

 

 

Gracious Words

Gracious words floating on the air

Caress the heart that has grown cold

Spoken with much love and care

Welcoming the young and the old

“Come unto Me and I will give you rest.”

“Mercy and Grace I will bestow.”

“My promises are always for your best.”

“Simply because I love you so.”

Listen dear people across this land

To the truthful Word He speaks

As He extends a nail-scared hand

To every precious soul He seeks.
