All in with You, Lord, all in with You










All in Lord, how I seek to be all in

as I walk with You

I know that there will be those

who do not understand

seeking, ever seeking to criticize

their eyes closed, their ears sealed

they do not understand

this walk with You

the relationship that You offer us

that You seek with us

contentious to some, for they do not understand

cannot comprehend

the love You offer, the peace You give

all in Lord, I seek to be all in

as I walk with You

along this way, this path narrow

strewn with the rocks of malice from those

along the way, determined to bring strife

Their taunts ugly, their words hurtful

intentionally

for they do not see You, they cannot with cold heart

understand Your gift of love

they stand along the way, hiding in the darkness

afraid for their sins to be seen in Your light

lurking in the shadows, they wait

seeking only to bring pain

share the darkness in which they hide

it is all they know, they know not Your peace

so they seek to prevent, seek to damage

the life I seek

one of being all in my Lord

all in with You

that I may with You, walk this path assured

strong and blest in You

that I may walk, with open eyes and ready words to share

of Your love, Your most merciful grace

that I may share Your gospel

to all that will hear

planting a seed Lord, for You

hoping to give others Lord, hope

reason to seek You, seek Your love

all in Lord, all in with You

is what I seek

as I walk this path, listening to You

speak to me,

as I follow You Lord, along this way

allowing You to guide me, gird me in Your love

wrap me in Your peace

fill me, with understanding of You Lord, of You

as I seek, always seek

to be all in Lord

all in, with You

it is all about You Lord



 


Help me Lord, to remember what's important

not to never to allow, my own thoughts and worries

to consume me, to overcome and over shadow

what is really important, Your children

those around me that are suffering and weary

let me see them Lord, recognize their need

give me wisdom in You Lord, to share

give me strength to reach out and lift up

helping those that are among us, that are in need



You were here among us

You walked the dusty roads, reaching out

to all that You passed,

teaching, explaining, healing

You saw not only to the emotional needs

but to the physical as well

Your love, so great

Your love, enough



Help me Lord, to remember

that as I make this journey to You

walking along with You with me

that I take the time, that I open my eyes

to see those that You have placed in my path

that I may reach out to them, lift them

from where they have stumbled

share with them, the news of You

reaching out in a way that You would

acknowledging, You. How You care for all

and all that is needed by those suffering

Speak to me, let me hear and recognize Your voice

understanding what You would have me do

go where You would have me go

living a life, that glorifies You in all ways



Help me Lord

to remember

it isn't about me

my wants, my needs, my concerns

it is about You Lord

all about You

and Your gracious

precious

merciful

love.

how merciful is Your love




How merciful is Your love Lord

how gracious is Your way

You reach out to me

draw me near to You

on the days of my sadness

draw me near to You

when I am afraid

how merciful is Your way Lord

that You see my struggles

understand my fears

and You draw me near to You

close to You

calming my worries

feeding my heart with Your word

where I find instruction

where I find peace

so much there is to see

to understand

when I find myself lost in Your word

lost in You, surrendered fully to You

You forgive my sins

lift me from where I fall

how merciful is Your way

when I am weak

You are my strength

when I turn to You

fully to You

turning away, leaving behind

what past I held in my heart

leaving behind desires of flesh

seeking out the love

that is freely given

peace fully known

when I turn to You

realizing in my heart and life

how merciful is Your love

I know, now I know Lord










Mistakes I have made

following temptations that come

falling away

standing here in the storms

I have in my error created

I know, how I know

I was wrong

to listen to a voice that called

come and see

view what is here, available

ready, for the taking

come and see

I was wrong, so very wrong

when I listened to the voice

calling to me, whispering

listen, hear what is available

take it into yourself

enjoy the sounds, the words

listen

I was wrong, so very wrong

when I heard that same voice

calling, teasing, taunting me

come and see, taste what is here

feel it as it flows across willing lips

come and take advantage of this

enjoy this

I stumbled and I fell

when I listened to the voice

calling from the sides of the path

calling from the edge of the darkness

I was wrong

how wrong

so wrong

and I know this



Now Lord, my God my Savior

I know

this is not something I can fix alone

I cannot correct my errors

fight the temptations

alone

I know my Lord

I need You

for You have promised a way out

You have promised to me

strength from You

lift me Lord from this

for You are the only way

back to the light

back to the right path

away so far away

from the wrongs

temptation follows, calls

I know

from here on my knees before You

the weight of my wrongs on my shoulders

I know my wrongs

but I know Lord my God

You are my strength

to walk away

Your song in my heart

Your words sounding and resounding

again in my heart

covers that voice

the taste of Your love

the feel of Your peace

Your song

always Your song Lord

of sweet merciful grace

that forgives

that gives strength

that gives peace

only You Lord

only with You

can I walk away from the temptations

that call

in that small voice

teasing and tricking

from the side of the way

until the ends of the ages




The moments that fear comes crawling

sneaking into my being

my spirit and strength threatens to wilt

before the darkness and cold

You are my strength, I turn to You

readily and quickly turning away

from the fog of fear, rolling in

attempting to hide the light

that is You

seeking, to drag me down

away from You, my Lord

my source of strength in all things

The moment, that fear begins

I hear Your voice, speaking in my heart

reminding me of Your presence

You are with me, my Guide and my Strength

there is no need to fill the fear

for You have banished all reason to be afraid

You stand with me, You are my Rock in times of trouble

You are All things

no matter how high the waves may reach

coming crashing down onto the shore of my life

You are here

as the winds gather strength, tearing at all it passes

You are here

with a word, You calm the storms

send the clouds of darkness away

Your Light a bright shining beacon

leading the way

You have said, to be Your child,

a Believer a Follower of You

will not be an easy path

there will be struggles, there will be storms

as we make our way

but You have said, we are not alone

You are with us, always with us

even until the ends of the age

when fear comes crawling, attempting

to weaken me, drive me into hiding

I turn to You

for You have not given us a spirit of fear

but one of strength, faith and hope

in You

until

the ends of the ages

my heart knows






When my mind is empty of thought

seeking the words to say

and nothing comes, the words are not there

but the heart knows, and whispers

thank You Lord

for all things, for You have given all things

good and bad have purpose

You are in control of all things, nothing is without Your knowledge

these things I know

I hold no fear, for I know, my life is Yours

my name penned in the Book of Life

I think of others, who do not know You

have no real understanding, of what You have done

for these Your children

who can face the storms that come

knowing their faith is built on the Rock of Ages

when my mind is empty, no words will come

my heart knows what to say

singing out in song of praise for You

to You, for You are our All in All

Your love flows and overflows

filling the hearts, lifting the Spirit of the Believer

You are with us, walking with us

reminding us of Your presence, Your love

never ending,

You stand at the ready to forgive

when one turns to You, seeks You, Your hope

Your forgiveness and love

drawing all close to You, sheltering us in Your arms

guiding us always with Your word

when my mind is empty of words

my heart, yes my heart, knows what to say

thank You Lord, thank You

ready, I am ready




Morning's light approaches

a new day appearing

I stand at the ready

breathless at the chance

to walk with You

seeing all things

You put before me

ready, eager to do

what ever it is that You ask

working my Lord, for You

out of joy, out of gladness

speaking out of You

the love, the peace

that comes only through You

even in the storms

especially in the storms

You are here

speaking to my heart

to the heart of Your children

reminding, strengthening

for the walk is not easy

the cross may grow heavy

the earthly body weary

You are here, always close

offering a place of rest and healing

offering peace and strength

I stand Lord, at the ready

ready, I am ready Lord

eager to step out, to go forward

one more, stepping out for You

speaking, sharing, showing

that You are love

You are my strength

You know Lord, the pain

that flows in my wounded heart

You know

and I know, You understand

the tears that fall, unabated

down reddened cheeks

the sobs held within

silent the pain

but You know, and You understand

when I come to You, yet again

pleading for strength to endure

I feel You move within my heart

Your strength is what I need

to walk through this rain of sorrow

I know, that the evil one knows our weakness

knows where to strike

in the hope of drawing us from You

weakening the bonds of our relationship with You

understanding that Lord, I seek You

making You the foundation of my strength

the rock on which I stand

as I kneel here before You Lord

lifting arms of supplication and pleading

fill me, I ask, with Your strength

for Your strength is more

Your strength is greater

than any storm

light my way to Your peace

lighten this burden to a level less intense

I carry my cross Lord for You

every where that I travel

this storm that is the thorn in my side

I bear as I can

even as I ask, give me strength

to bear it better, to endure without comment

so that others will not wonder

of my faith, for it is strong in You

I know, that You know my storms

I know, that You understand my pain

the tears that fall from the wounded heart

I hand it all to You Lord

pass it on to You

for no storm can match Your power

no storm can withstand Your strength

You are an awesome God

Almighty and powerful

I hand the storms to You Lord God

asking only, for Your strength

and Your wisdom

for the peace that comes from You

for the next storm that comes

for I know it will come

it is my weakness

You are my strength
