A seed was planted
Left alone to become broken
Living water begins to soak in
New life is granted
Beauty from God’s own displayed
Treasure of His heart traced
To bring Him glory only by His grace
Shines the Light, shows the love, shares the truth arrayed
God’s own Son came to earth
Wholly God left His throne to be with us fully human
The Great King of measureless worth
Forsaken by all to become the Lamb of God slain on a cross with
nails driven in
With the purpose to serve perfect from birth
Giving His blood for our sins to be forgiven
Died, buried 3 days, the miracle of God is risen
Free Gift of Salvation received in being born again
In Christ –A new creation!
Heaven’s elation!!
Jesus, the Savior for the nations!!!
Longing for relationship with the praises of hope overflowing
from my lips
Waiting to be equipped with Your Words like rain drops that
start to drip
Into a downpour of refreshing showers to replenish within the
soul and spirit
Until the dark clouds of selfish pride in me clear for more of You
to appear
And Your promises remembered by the rainbow now to steer
my heart and mind on this journey with You near…
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. James 14:6
It is only by Jesus’ blood shed for us that we are forgiven.
I wrote about watching “The Lost Boys” documentary in my second blog entry. It was special to read today that one of those lost boys, a 6yr. old at the time of fleeing Sudan, is chosen to carry the American flag at the Olympic Games. Lopez Lomong is 23 yrs. old now and a middle distance runner who became a U.S. citizen back in 2007. Read the story: Former ‘Lost Boy’ to lead U.S. Olympians in Beijing
I was moved to write the following poem back on March 14, 2005 about the Darfur, Sudan situation:
Darfur, Sudan
A Storm of violence arises
A form of silence demises
The trek of refugees seek a refuge now
The wreck in degrees seen, – a huge town
Walking against the wind blown with sand
Stalking tense toward men, women, and children honed to be
banned
Forced to move on without food, water, or home
Course through desert clout, rude and hotter from which to roam
So uncertain the destination, leapt for rope of some intervention
No pertinent information except for hope of freedom mentioned
Christians, God’s own, to reach them with love in deed shown
Mission, Jesus alone, to teach them in Word inspired from
above to be sown
Far more, to the Lamb
(Approximately 2.5 million people have been forced away from their homes and an estimated 300,000 have died during the conflict in Darfur.)
I then read about Steven Curtis Chapman, who is interviewed by Larry King and can be seen tonight, concerning orphans, the tragedy of their daughter, and adoption. Read the story: Our Tragedy and God’s Love for Orphans
How precious is their family who seek to honor God and bring Him glory. They are truly being a voice for orphans in promoting God’s heart for orphans to be loved, provided for, and ultimately adopted into His family through His Son JESUS… Learn more about their ministry: Shaohannah’s Hope
