Heart song

Father we sing a song

From our heart to you heart

We praise your mighty name

Let the blind see your mighty works and praise your name

Let the lame walk and dance to your heart's beat

Let them find the true rhythm and walk in step with you

Let your light penetrate the darkness in this season and every other

Let the deaf hear your words and sing your praises

Let us sing the love song of Jesus

And offer you our hearts

Let your message be shared across the globe

May it be that we place our mouths and tongues at your disposal

May it be that we never speak our own words for our own agenda and own benefit

You are sovereign lord

You are mighty God

You are prince of peace and wonderful counsellor

Amen

Arise my soul arise

Arise my soul arise.
From weary depths to highest heights.

No longer shall you be downcast
But life shall arise from the depths

For even deep darkness is as light to my Lord
I go to the heights  He is there
I go to the depths  He is there

There is nowhere to hide from His presence.

Oh Lord you are worthy of my praise. Worthy of my heart.

There is none like you in all the heavens.

You are creator and sustainer of all things.

My soul delights in your law, it blesses my soul.

You have written your law in my heart.

Worship the Lord oh my soul.
His benefits are great.

Gone is pride
Gone is arrogance
Gone is self-loathing.

I am his beloved and He is mine.

God of all comfort

My dear children.

I am the God of all comfort.

Though you pass through the flames of hell and its stench fills your house.

Even then, I am with you,
Every knee has to yield because my name is above every name.

I have purchased the keys of death and hell . I entered hell itself and took back from the thief that which I gave to you when I created you.

You have always been my beloved

I gave up my most precious possession that I might gain your love.

I am a righteous judge there is non higher than me.

Come to my appointed advocate and present your case before me.

Behold I have already won your case you only need to claim what is already yours

I set it aside for you before I created the universe

Amen

Shadowy places

I am looking for my children in shadowy and arid places.

I descend into the mire and search for those who have drifted away.

Be at peace. For I shall not rest until you are in my arms.

You yearn for me
You look for me

Be constantly alert
Be not afraid

I shall come for you, for you are my most treasured possession.

Though you have wandered away and are lost in the open seas

I am a light on a rock which shines in the night.

Look for a sign be alert. Keep watch.

Look in every direction and turn to the source of light.  For I am a house of safety for the needy.

My child you are a prince in my kingdom. Do you not know that you shall inherit my Kingdom and share my throne.

Be blessed.

Amen

Come to me

My dear child, come to me and I shall redeem you.

I have already purchased your freedom but you need to come and claim it.

Your freedom was purchased, I entered hell itself and took back the keys to death and hell.

Death has been vanquished.

You shall gain life if you come to me.

I purchased it for you and offer it today without cost.

Believe in me and live.
