The road was wide and easy

Even sometimes fun to travel on

But Your Spirit said within me

”This is not the one!”

.

So I turned and went the other way

To find the road Jesus was on

The love, joy and peace that flow from Him

My guide and treasure when we move as one

.

I looked at those who have hurt me and others

And demanded that justice be done!

Jesus said, ”l’ve accomplished that all on the cross

For you and every one!”

.

So I turned and went the other way

To live the way Jesus does

The forgiveness that flowed to and through me from Him

Healed the damage and freed me to live again

.

So now when life throws me a curve ball

And it seems all my plans are now dust

I say, “Can we do this Your way Jesus?

For Your kingdom treasures will never rust!”

.

And I turn and took to Jesus

For wisdom, guidance and strength

I seek to have His life flowing in mine

So His deeds and His footprints are all that is left

.

Once I was sinful and broken

Not much use for anything

But Jesus took that to the cross

Giving me His new and holy life

.

And now I am a Son of the Living God

A child of the King of Kings

For Jesus has given me His life

Given me His everything!

.

Once I was hurt, damaged and maimed

By the deeds and sins of mankind

But Jesus took that to the cross

Giving me a new and love-filled heart

.

And now I am a Son of the Living God

A child of the King of Kings

For Jesus has given me His life

Given me His everything!

.

Once I lived in fear and poverty

Needing to keep all I had for me

But Jesus took all my fears to the cross

Giving me His peace and liberty

.

And now I am a Son of the Living God

A child of the King of Kings

For Jesus has given me His life

Given me His everything!

.

Once I lived in sickness and pain

Thinking that life all loss and no gain

But Jesus took all that to the cross

Filling me with His eternal life healing

.

And now I am a Son of the Living God

A child of the King of Kings

For Jesus has given me His life

Given me His everything!

.

Once I was just human, bound just to die

Without hope for a future and life

But Jesus took all that death on the cross

Giving me His heavenly eternal life

.

And now I am a Son of the Living God

A child of the King of Kings

For Jesus has given me His life

Given me His everything!

You are with me when I wake

And greet the morning light

You live in me

My life is filled with Yours

You are with me when I’m tired or sick

My pains are Yours too like the bite of a whip

All my sorrows and illness that seem like lead weight

Weigh down on Your shoulders, took You to the grave

.

You are with me

You live in me

My life is wrapped in Yours

You are with me

You live in me

My life is filled with Yours

Jesus You are with me

.

You are with me when I am oppressed by this world

You know the pressure, yet Your silence You held

When bitterness, envy and strife rule the day

For it came against You, took Your life away

.

You are with me

You live in me

My life is wrapped in Yours

You are with me

You live in me

My life is filled with Yours

You are with me too when I blossom in life

For Your powerful life will always overcome!

I have sought for wisdom

In the ways of the world

But the answers I was looking for

Were found in the Living Word

.

Your wisdom God is precious

More than gold or jewellery

For Your wisdom is Jesus presence

Living in me eternally!

.

I have looked for wisdom

In learning and books

But knowledge and true wisdom

Are quite different things

.

Your wisdom God is precious

More than gold or  jewellery

For Your wisdom is Jesus presence

Living in me eternally!

.

I have looked for wisdom

In Bible stories and words

But without Jesus’ Spirit’s instruction

It all just seems like empty rules

.

Your wisdom God is precious

More than gold or jewellery

For Your wisdom is Jesus presence

Living in me eternally!

.

I have looked for wisdom

In owning many things

But things wear out and loose their shine

They do not pass the test of time

.

Your wisdom God is precious

More than gold or jewellery

For Your wisdom is Jesus presence

Living in me eternally!

.

I welcome Your Presence Jesus

Your Wisdom living in me

Your Spirit’s revelations

That makes my thinking Yours

.

Your wisdom God is precious

More than gold or jewellery

For Your wisdom is Jesus presence

Living in me eternally!

There is nothing I can do Papa God

To serve You today

Except as Your Holy Spirit

Fills me with Your empowering Grace

.

There is nothing I can offer Papa God

That is worthy of Your Love so great

Except my Jesus-renewed heart

To love and serve You all my days

.

There is nothing I can say Papa God

That will bring You adequate praise

Except to tell of Jesus work

Raising me to His new life of eternal Grace

.

There is nothing I can be Papa God

That can bring You adequate Glory

Except that Jesus lives in me

And His Presence makes me holy

.

There’s no way I can ever earn Your love and Grace

But Jesus’ righteousness has earned it in my place

I’m Yours, Your joy, Your child

Jesus earned that right on the cross

A heavenly throne set in place

With God seated upon it

He sparkled like crystal

Glowed a warm reddish brown

And was circled by an emerald rainbow

.

Twenty-four other thrones

Encircled God’s mighty one

And on each throne sat an elder

Dressed in glistening white clothes

Each wearing victory’s gold crown

.

Lightning pulsed from God’s throne

Over a pavement, a crystal glass sea

Thunder and voices were heard

Seven torches blazed in front

For the seven Spirits of God

.

Round the throne stood four living creatures

Who worshipped God day and night

Singing, “Holy, Holy, Holy,

Is the Lord God almighty!

The Was, the Is and the Coming One!”

.

The elders worshipped, offering their crowns

Before the Eternal One on His throne

Singing, “You alone are worthy,

To receive glory, honour and power

For You are Creator of all”

.

This is the throne room of God

That John saw while imprisoned on Patmos

The heavenly place where we all can live

Through Jesus’ resurrection

And Jesus blood on the cross

.

The power of heaven, the power of Jesus

To overcome all and win the day

Were revealed to John in his prison

For nothing on earth or heaven

Can stand against Jesus, or stand in God’s way

A meditation on Revelation 4

You fill me with Your Presence

Like light fills a room

You light every dark corner

Till we are as One

You fill me, Jesus You fill me

.

You fill me with Your Love

Like water fills a canyon

You fill me with Your joy and peace

In You I’m overflowing

You fill me, Jesus You fill me

.

You fill me with Your holiness

Like yeast fills dough with air

You raise me to Your righteousness

So I can live with You there

You fill me, Jesus You fill me

.

You fill me with Your Power

Like a sun burning bright

Your powerful eternal Presence

My resurrection, my healing, my life

You fill me, Jesus You fill me

.

You fill me with Your Spirit

Like air fills a balloon

He lifts me up to higher heights

Makes me one of Your heavenly lights

You fill me, Jesus You fill me

.

Lord Jesus I welcome Your Presence in me!

You fill me, You fill me.

Lord Jesus I welcome Your Presence in me!

You fill me, You fill me.

A mediation on:

Colossians 2:9-13 TPT “For he [Jesus] is the complete fullness of deity living in human form. And our own completeness is now found in him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe! Through our union with him we have experienced circumcision of heart. All of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us. For we’ve been buried with him into his death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised him from death’s realm. This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!”

There was power in Jesus

Power to heal

Power in His Presence

Power in His words

.

When a man possessed and insane

Who lived as an outcast in burial caves

Saw Jesus some distance away

He ran towards Him and bowed low for healing Grace

.

There was power in Jesus

Power to heal

Power in His Presence

Power in His words

.

When a woman who constantly bled

For whom doctors had only made things worse

Heard of Jesus’ healing reputation

She thought ‘I can be healed if I just touch His robes’

.

There was power in Jesus

Power to heal

Power in His Presence

Power in His words

.

When the leader of a local church

Knew his daughter was so sick she would die

He found Jesus and fell at His feet

Pleading “Come and touch my daughter, giver her life!”

.

There was power in Jesus

Power to heal

Power in His Presence

Power in His words

.

Each of these people were freed from their torment

Healed and given life back again

Their faith is our constant witness

That Jesus Presence and words still heal today

.

There is power in Jesus

Power to heal

Power in His Presence

Power in His words

.

Jesus Presence lives in each of His disciples

His indwelling Spirit confirms it is so

So when we draw on His Presence in faith

We to can know His power to heal

.

There is power in Jesus

Power to heal

Power in His Presence

Power in His words

And this power lives in His people

When we turn from fear to belief.

.

There is power in Jesus

Power to heal

Power in His Presence

Power in His words

And this power lives in His people

A meditation on Mark 5

12/09/2018 Amanda Wilson

.

I am a child of God

For Jesus paid the cost

To give me His righteousness

Make me a co-heir of God

.

Though sin’s deceptiveness

May sometimes lead me astray

The holiness Jesus has given me

Will always win the day

.

I am a child of God

For Jesus paid the cost

To give me His righteousness

Make me a co-heir of God

.

Though trials may beset me

Testing my strength of faith

Jesus’ strength in me will overcome

For He is my saving Grace

.

I am a child of God

For Jesus paid the cost

To give me His righteousness

Make me a co-heir of God

.

Though I am simply human

Just another person to this world

Jesus has raised me to His throne

To reign now with Him

As God’s’ beloved son

.

I am a child of God

For Jesus paid the cost

To give me His righteousness

Make me a co-heir of God

.

This world and all its treasures

May seem wonderful and bright

But they fade into the shadows

Of Jesus Glory and Light

.

I am a child of God

For Jesus paid the cost

To give me His righteousness

Make me a co-heir of God
