Trust in You, LORD

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

Trust in You, Lord,

Fully trust may I.

Trust in You, Lord,

Yea, to You I cry.

Foolish it is

To trust in my strength;

Foolish to walk

Without You any length.

For through You, Lord,

All things are made.

In You the foundations

Of earth were laid.

My own life,

Yea, my every breath,

Is sustained by You

Until my very death.

Lord Jesus, remind me

That of dust I am formed;

Master, You shaped me,

Enlivened and warmed.

Without You, my Creator,

I am cool dust of earth;

Without You, my King,

I would never know birth.

Yet You, Wonderful You,

The King of all kings,

You gave life to me

As You do all things.

Joy of joys, my Lord,

To love and serve You.

Glory of glories to follow

Upon Your Way true.

Before You I kneel,

Your servant contrite;

Before You I kneel,

In awe of Your Light.

Without You, my Lord,

I am nothing at all.

Without You I do

Nothing, big or small.

Trust then, yea, trust,

May I always in You.

Trust then, yea, trust,

In all that You do.

Sweet rest I find

When myself I release:

Trusting only in You

I discover Your peace.

For in You, my Lord,

All things are made.

Yea, in You the foundations

Of earth were laid.

Wise and wondrous

To trust in Your strength;

Peaceful to journey

With You each length.

How can I not trust

When all things You know?

How can I not trust

When such love You show?

Yea, trust in You, Lord,

Completely trust You do I.

I trust in You, the One

Who, for me, did die.

SON Rise

(Send as Inspirational Christian e-card!)

Sun rising,

The dawn of a new day –

Rays dance on the horizon,

“Rejoice,” they say.

For this is the day

The Lord God has made.

Yes, this is the day;

Hide not in the shade!

Yea, rejoice in the Light,

Rejoice in sunrays,

Rejoice in the Son-shine:

Sky-fire ablaze.

The Eternal One:

He is bright and pure.

A consuming fire,

Aflame forevermore.

Embrace me, O Lord,

With warmth of Light.

Guide me, O Master,

Through day and night.

Refine me by fire,

Cleanse me by flame,

Fill me with Your desire –

Our wills, the same.

Grant that I, like You,

Shine brilliant, bright.

Grant that I, for You,

Share Your Light.

What is sweeter than that?

What is finer to do?

Than to live for the Lord,

Than to shine for You?

Shine then may I ever

For Your glory alone.

I live no longer for me,

My life is not my own.

For the Son Himself,

The Light on High,

Shed His blood for me –

For me He did die.

A glorious truth,

Warming my heart:

My Savior loves me,

We shall never part.

I delight then

To offer Him all I am;

I rejoice then

To surrender to the Lamb.

I release myself, and

With You, Lord, I unite.

Consumed by Your flame,

Eternal and bright.

O, glory of glories

To live in the Son;

Joy of joys

To abide in the One.

Shining brighter,

Purer all the more

Each day I shall

For the One I adore.

I rejoice in His light,

I rejoice in Son-rays,

I rejoice in Son-shine:

His heart-flame ablaze.

Yea, shine I shall each day

The Lord God has made.

I shall shine for Jesus,

Hiding not in the shade.

For the Son is risen,

He is the Dawn of each day –

My heart dances with Jesus,

I rejoice in His Way!

In You, Lord Jesus

In You, Lord Jesus,

So many gifts I find:

Countless and priceless,

Overwhelming my mind.

In You, my Beloved,

The Father sees me

As He sees You:

Perfect and holy.

In You, my Master,

Forgiveness I know.

In Your arms

My love does grow.

In You, my Shepherd,

I am led by Wisdom –

Led by Your staff

Through Your Kingdom.

In You, the Lamb,

Your blood does cleanse.

Scarlet were my sins,

White now in their absence.

In You, O Eternal One,

Life everlasting is mine.

Buried in Your heart

Infinite treasures divine.

In You, the I AM,

I find mysteries profound.

The wisdom of Your voice:

How sweet the sound.

In You, my God,

I find awe of Deity.

I fall prostrate in worship

Of the Holy Trinity.

In You, the Christ,

I find passion and power;

Your Holy Spirit fills me

Each moment of each hour.

In You, my Savior,

I find love vast and true.

I see bloodshed on Calvary,

The torment You knew.

In You, my Redeemer,

I find eyes captivating my soul;

But a glance from them

Makes me gloriously whole.

In You, my Brother,

I find both God and Friend;

I find a fellowship wondrous,

One which will never end.

In You, my Jesus,

I find meaning and life;

I delight in giving You myself,

Betrothed I am as Your wife.

In You, my Bridegroom,

I find joy and pure bliss.

Longing for You, my Love,

To embrace and to kiss.

In You, my Master,

Endless mercy I know.

As Your arms embrace,

My love does grow.

In You, my Beloved,

Our Father sees me

As He sees You:

Perfect and holy.

Yes, in You, sweet Jesus,

So many gifts I find:

Countless and priceless,

Overwhelming my mind.

A Rose in Bloom: The Lord’s Love Does Consume

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
Red Roses On White Background by Grant Cochrane

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

Lovely rose,

Brilliant in bloom,

Beautiful vision

My heart to consume.

Lord Jesus, may I be

As one of these:

Beautiful, fragrant

Your heart to please.

As the soft bud

Emerging from earth,

May I stretch upward

To claim rebirth.

As the petals

Colorful and bright,

May my beauty grow

From Your luminous Light.

As the pattern

Of the petals ‘round,

May I circle about You,

Your love to abound.

As the fragrance of roses

Aromatic and sweet,

May my prayers rise to You

Lovely incense to greet.

As roses intertwine,

One next to another,

May my life bring joy

To sister and brother.

As amidst the beauty

Of the rose is the thorn,

May I recall Your agony,

The bitter Cross borne.

As the bloom withers,

As the petals do fall,

May I remember

Dust we are all.

As the rose petals

With earth become one,

May I recall the promise

Of You, God’s Son.

Eternal life we find

When to ourselves we die;

We become one with You

When flesh we crucify.

Glorious truth

Expressed in the flower;

Over death my Savior

Holds eternal power.

Die with Him I shall

To live with Him too;

He died with love for me –

What else can I but do?

Yes, I live for You, Master:

May I be to You a rose.

Fragrant and sweet,

As my love for You grows.

I recall always You:

Your pain on Calvary;

I envision always You:

Your agony in Gethsemane.

Lovely You are, Master

Loveliest of all;

Deepest of pain You embrace

To save me from the Fall.

As the soft bud, then,

Emerging from earth,

I stretch and embrace

You and Your Rebirth.

Lord Jesus, I vow to be

Ever as one of these:

Beautiful and fragrant

Your heart to please.

You are the loveliest Rose,

Brilliant in bloom,

Your love for me forever

Does my heart consume.

Gethsemane

Tearful and trembling

How can this be?

The Son of God Himself

Anguished in Gethsemane

Say it is not so

Lord, say it is not true

That nigh unto death

Blood sweats from You

Calvary is bitter

Horror beyond compare

Yet in the secret garden

You die nearly here

Not from thorns

Nor from being pierced

Not from a Cross

Nor from lashings fierce

My Savior sweet

Prostrate on the ground

You approach death

For deepest grief You found

Sorrow upon sorrow

Pain upon pain

Beloved, You suffer so

That all others would gain

The weight of the world

Is upon Your precious heart

The punishment for all sin

That New Life would start

All transgressions You bear

Lord, this overwhelms my mind

The penalty You embrace

For all of sinful mankind

Drink of this bitter cup

Willing You are to do

Agony and torture

Relentlessly attack You

Tears I shed now

Is Your pain here forgotten?

Have I passed by Gethsemane,

My Lord, far too often?

For suddenly now here

I see what I never did see

Suffering beyond words

Yes, it overtakes me

Calvary is the culmination

Of the suffering You endure

Yet in Gethsemane I find

Darkest grief and love pure

Next to You I am, my Jesus

I want to take Your pain away

Yet You remind You came

That for my sin You could pay

If I can offer any comfort

If there is anything I can do

Lord, please let me help

Please let me comfort You

You look up at me

Through the pain You smile,

“Remember My anguish

When you suffer all the while”

Yes, I promise, my Lord

Your pain lies in my heart deep

A vision of Gethsemane

Always in my mind I shall keep

With joy, my Beloved

My cross I shall carry

If You call me to Gethsemane

Master, I shall never tarry

Your joy I always know

With You I unite in suffering too

Pouring of myself for God

Brings me nigh unto You

For in Gethsemane

The “Olive Press” by name

Even unto death, Your Will

And our Father’s the same

Pressed You were, Master

To exude precious oil

Anointed I am by God

Through Your own turmoil

It is my longing then

To live always for Your glory

Even if pressed like the olive

I shall proclaim Your story

Visit Gethsemane

Lord, I promise oft to do

Witnessing Your pain

All the more I love You

Sorrow upon sorrow

Pain upon pain

Beloved, You suffer so

That I should gain

You, my Savior sweet

Prostrate on the ground

Approaching death

For deepest grief You found

Tearful and trembling

Anguished in Gethsemane

My Master, my Beloved

You suffered all this for me

Led Like a Lamb

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
Brown Cross by Luigi Diamanti

You, my Lord Jesus

So Beautiful in my eyes

Yet stricken You were

Suffering and despised

In majesty You reign now

You, my King, in glory

Yet as You walked on earth

Affliction was Your story

The words of Isaiah

Echo now in my mind

God-inspired prophecy

In these pages I find

Seven-hundred years

Lord, before Your birth

God led the prophet to write

Of Your coming to earth

You grew up, Beloved

As a tender shoot

From the dry ground

You arose as a root

No beauty or majesty

To attract all to You

Suffering and rejection:

Lord, these You knew

You bore our suffering

And took up our pain

Tortured You were

That we may all gain

Crushed for our iniquities

For our transgressions, pierced

Peace we find with God

Through Your punishment fierce

The Father laid all upon You

For each one has gone astray

You bled for the sin of mankind

For each has gone his own way

Led to the slaughter You were

Like a silent lamb

Before the shearer

Stood the Great I AM

Oppression and judgment

Took You, my Lord, away

Punished for all people

That they may know the Way

It was God’s will to crush You

Your life is an offering for sin

You were cut off from the living

Yet through You Life did begin

For Your offspring do grow

God’s Will prospers in Your Hand

You are the Light of Life

You lead us to the Promised Land

The righteous Servant You are

Jesus, many You do justify

You bore the sin of multitudes

When You they did crucify

These words of prophecy

Overtake my very heart

My Lord and my God

Grant that we never part

For me You were crushed –

Jesus, how can this be?

Please accept my offering:

Lord, I give You all of me

Forever for You, Lord

I vow I shall live

Every moment, every breath

To You I humbly give

I worship You

God’s Servant and Lamb

It is my good pleasure

To give You all who I am

Through Your death

Sweet Life I find

Transformed in heart

Renewed in mind

The words of Isaiah

Echo always in my mind

God-inspired prophecy

In those pages I find

In majesty You reign now

You, my King, rule in glory

Yet You died for me

My salvation is Your story

Stricken You were for me

You suffered and were despised

My Savior, Who loves me so,

You are Beautiful in my eyes

Joy bubbling forth

Though the winds may blow

Through the storms may rage

Always Your joy I know

So I lift my heart to You

With joy I sing Your praise

You I shall worship forever

Joyful hymns shall I raise

No one is sweeter than my Jesus

No one lavishes love like the Lamb

No one gives joy everlasting

No, only the Eternal I AM

Come and taste this joy

This divine feeling sweet

Come and feel the joy I know

The Lord’s Prayer

Glorious words to raise

Heartfelt supplication

Adorned with praise

The Lord’s Prayer

Jesus spoke on the Mount

Wondrous words

Yea, a Life-giving fount

The Lord’s Prayer

Model it may I

Giving all to my God

My Father on High

Jehovah, my Father

Hallowed is Your Name

Holy, Perfect You are

In Flesh Your Son came

Jesus humbled Himself

Lord, You left Your Throne

To die for Your children

Yes, to bleed for Your own

My heart aches to know

Your pain on Calvary

My Beloved, my Lord

You shed Your blood for me

My love for You, Lord

I shall never contain

Your joy is my joy

Your pain is my pain

All wishes and desires

Jesus, I surrender fully to You

Your words are my food

My work: Your Kingdom True

May Your Kingdom come

Yes, may earth see Your Will

With Your Holy Spirit

Lord, do my heart ever fill

Daily bread, my Beloved

You richly provide

You satisfy every need

As I walk by Your side

For my multitude of sins

Lord, please do forigve

Pierced for my iniquity:

Through Your death I live

Pierced is my own heart

Looking upon Your thorned brow

I live as a sacrifice for You

This, Lord Jesus, I do vow

And fully I forgive those

Who may hurt or offend

Limitless as Your mercy

To all I shall extend

How can I offer less

When You, Lord, died for me?

How can I not give

Mercy complete and free?

Away from all temptation

Lead me, Lord, I pray

Deliver me from evil

Each moment of each day

The Kingdom, Power and Glory

Are Yours forevermore

I rejoice in You, my King

Yes, You I cherish and adore

The Prayer of my Lord Jesus

Embody it forever may I

Giving all to You, my God

To You, my Father on High

The Prayer of my Lord Jesus

Lifted high on the Mount

Oh, wondrous words

Yea, a Life-giving fount

The Prayer of my Lord

Glorious words I raise

I rejoice in You, my God

I sing forever Your praise
