HOW LONG?

How Long, O Lord
When O Lord shall I ever be free
From the turmoil I have inside?
When will I finally know the freedom
I should have in Jesus Christ?

There’s no one that could understand
What I go through every day
They cannot see inside my heart
Nor feel the words I pray

I know my Lord you’re drawing out
These things I’ve buried deep
That I may face them at this time
Though it causes so much grief

I know I need to deal with this
In order to be moving on
But I need to ask this one thing
LordI need to know ‘How long’

How long O God will I be this way?
When will I finally be free?
How long will I cry out to you?
O Lord please answer me

I feel at times like giving up
But I know I must press through
It seems so overwhelming Lord
And so very hard to do

I know I need to focus on
One little step at a time
For that is all I can take right now
For the way is steep to climb

I thank you Lord you understand
You know just how I feel
And you will bring me through one day
Freed and totally healed

I long O God for that day
When I shall be restored
And become the person I should be
Bringing glory to you Lord

God Answers Prayers

Not By Race, But By God's Grace

We’ve been joined as family together
Through God’s unmerited grace
A union beyond nationality
Beyond culture, creed and race

United together through Jesus Christ
No matter where we come from
For the grace of God has no limit
Nor boundaries we can’t go beyond

But it extends right across the world
To every corner of the globe
The light of God must reach out toward
The ones that do not know

That they will believe in Jesus Christ
And be filled with God’s own light
For Jesus accepts all that would come
No one will He ever deny

For we were once in darkness too
Dying and lost in our sin
But in God’s love He saved our souls
And placed His love within

We’ve come from different walks of life
And so many different lands
But it shouldn’t matter in the family of God
And we must come to understand

That when our Lord looks upon us
He does not see our race
But looks straight into our open hearts
Where He’s filled us with His grace

For this is what truly binds us
Together in His love
Brothers and sisters in the Lord
Washed clean by Jesus blood

For when we come together in love
We are truly unified
It shouldn’t matter where we’ve come from
For Jesus will be glorified!

RUN

RUN

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

THE GREATEST LOVE

JESSIE DIXON

BLESSED ASSURANCE

BLESSED ASSURANCE

"Blessed Assurance" is a well-known Christian hymn. The lyrics were written in 1873 by blind hymn writer Fanny J. Crosby to the music written in 1873 by Phoebe P. Knapp.

Based on Hebrews 10:22


vs.1
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.


Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.


vs.2
Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.


(Refrain)


vs.3
Perfect submission, all is at rest!
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with his goodness, lost in His love.
(Refrain)

THIS IS MY STORY

This is my story

This is my song

Praising my saviour

All the day long

This is my story

This is my song

Praising my saviour

All the day long



Tears streamed down

This morning when I heard this song

I heard you singing it

Somewhere



I saw many slaves

Many who met Jesus

Many who knew Him as Saviour



Overwhelmed by the presence of God

Cry with joy and pain

For the ache that could not be explained



For it is so ironical

That the Saviour has no place in the world

For many who are not free



So when the man found the precious pearl

He gave away all his possessions

To have this pearl



The pearl is the once in a life time meeting

When man comes face to face with his God

So how would that man feel?



He cannot speak

He cannot describe

He cannot deny

He just changes forever


There is no choice here

Which man would want to reject God?



Was it the Holy Spirit that touched him?

Was it the Holy Spirit that touched me?

Is it the Holy Spirit that moved me to write this?



And for whom do I write?

I write for you

IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL

for you

IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel “not good enough"?
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of an Angel, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

HE SPOKE WITH AUTHORITY

A dove told an angel and the angel told me to tell you

And so I read what the message gave me

Matthew 5 to 7

Jesus spoke with authority

They wondered how He could be so sure of what would befall those who act in certain ways

He listed clearly what we should do and should not do

Some instructions may seem unreasonable

And so I thought

When God gives an intruction

What choice do we have

We obey

Joyfully

For He came to fulfill the prophecy

Today I would like to just focus on one small part of what He said at that time

He taught us how to pray

FATHER IN HEAVEN

HOLY IS YOUR NAME

YOUR KINGDOM COME

ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN




Today this means something new

It means

The purpose of God will prevail

HALO

HEAVENLY CHANNEL

Thank you for remembering me

I who have not helped you in any way

You must be anointed to know

That I needed a friend today



It is a miracle for me

The way you came from a chance meeting

To be my companion in this heavenly journey

Thank you for never letting me down


I sense HIS love so unspeakable

In the way you care so deeply

I found that there was so much to learn

In the way you suffer for me



Like JESUS

Like MY LORD

MY SAVIOUR

MESSIAH



A heavenly channel

Strange love

Unreasonable

Why do you love me

Only JESUS knows



Thank you

For I was broken

Now I feel a spirit in me

Awaken



I will keep on walking

Climbing

Praying

Fasting



Teach me

I wana learn

UNSEEN


You are there everyday

Yet sometimes I do not see

You are helping always

Yet many times I grieve

You are there wanting

To welcome us home

We who wander aimless

Who look for others

Not seeing the unseen

THANK YOU


Thank you for this
and for so many little miracles
and most of all for bringing home
all who have wandered off and lost their way
