My tears in a bottle

The Eternal is my helper each day
Though fear seizes me I will always pray
Offerings of praise do banish my fear
Heavenly guidance does strengthen and steer
Through the heat of the fight I am pursued
My enemies you help me to elude
By my prayers adversaries do retreat
The forces of evil you did unseat

All my tears in a bottle you did save
Cleansing me of crimson sins you forgave
My detailed sorrows you did count each one
Nailed to the cross in a victory won
Keys to death, hell and power of the grave
Your own blood for all did purchase to save

Psalms 56:8 KJV Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

In the quiet places and secret ways


   In the quiet places and secret ways
Does the Spirit move and work in these days
Not in loud and dominant worship shrine
But in the temple of the heart does find
In lowliness of spirit void of pride
Does the work of the Eternal abide
There is a grass roots movement very low
Planting seeds of greatness later to sow

Not through cathedrals made by hands of men
But in a message on the hearts does send
This is the movement of Divine call
No money or great human mind can stall
But in humility of truth so meek
In hearts that do after righteousness seek


Isaiah   32:17&18   17) And the work of righteousness shall
be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance
forever.  18) And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation,
and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

A righteous path


The Word of God is a lamp to your feet
Sword of the Spirit it knows no defeat
It’s sharper than any two edged sword
Worth more than anything you could afford
Freely given to all who ask the Lord
Placed in your heart forever to be stored
A discerner of the inner most soul
Guide to your eternal heavenly goal

Scripture is given by inspiration
On which you should give great contemplation
Profitable for all truth and doctrine
Reproof to correct the smallest of sin
Instruction to show the Lord’s perfect way
A righteous path on which to ever stay


Psalm 119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

His grace has redeemed me


My hope rests always in the Lord most high
Every need he doses forever supply
In the folly of youth he did protect
Even when my heart gave him no respect
Then one day he placed his hand on my life
All vain cares vanished along with all strife
His joy and peace pass all understanding
Vistas in new life ever expanding

Now I put my trust in Jesus my Lord
His word lives in me as a mighty sword
My strong refuge he will never forsake
Always with me when I sleep and awake
He’s my high tower and habitation
His grace has redeemed me in salvation

Psalm 71:1  “In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust…”

Deception’s battle won


 ETERNAL we are oppressed by a friend
Anointed we believed you did so send
He was our equal and more in the work
Evangelist wolf as a sheep did lurk
We are left in anguish of a torn heart
With silken lies and broken trust did part
Let this one go down to Sheol alive
For evil is the dwelling where such thrive

Smooth buttery speech hid a plot for war
Stench of such folly does HEAVEN abhor
Cast all your burden on the HOLY ONE
Deception’s battle is already won
The righteous will never be swept away
Firmly we shall stand in that Divine day

Psalms 55:15 ESV Let death steal over them; let them go down to Sheol alive; for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.

My Help In Need


Eternal One, save me by your great name
Judge me by your strength that removes my blame
Hear my prayer and the words I lift high
On your loving kindness I do rely
Incline your ear to the thoughts of my heart
The enemy wants to pull us apart
Oppressors do not care for what is right
Your righteousness for them is out of sight

Almighty One you are my help in need
Through the Holy Ghost you planted the seed
Living Heavenly power makes me bold
Draw near to your grace is what you have told
You have delivered me from sin’s strong grip
Temptation’s power can no longer trip

Psalms 54:7 KJV For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

Mt. Zion rescue the just

In corrupt wickedness do fools delight
It gives them a sense of power and might
Scoffers trust in evolution’s false word
Creation without design is absurd
Gives an endless excuse to follow sin
In their heart is where evil does begin
Who will come from Mt. Zion for the just
Will not the Holy One rescue the Just?

My prayers in the morning are thoughts I send
My trust in goodness that will never bend
Exalt the one who is faithful and true
In worship is where all blessings accrue
Enduring power that comes from on high
My daily hope upon which I rely

Psalms 53:6 KJV Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
