I Shall Fear NO Evil!

… I Shall Fear NO Evil!

No evil men

No evil spirits

No evil authorities

No evil speakings

No evil opinions

No evil rumors

No evil suspicions

No evil agreements

No evil conspiracies

No evil attacks

No evil plans

No evil circumstances

No evils at all

With no fear

I will not fret

With no fret

I will have faith

With faith

I will please God

The Fault of Being Faithful

 The Fault of Being Faithful

 

 

I long to have no fault but this

The one fault that is not amiss

The fault of being faithful

For men will find this still a fault

And with their tongues will strong assault

This fault of being faithful

For I have known fault of my own

When less than His full grace I’ve shown

And fell far short of faithful

But grace awakened sorrow came

A double portion replaced shame

And spurred me on to faithful

A diligent borne fire renewed

The Holy Spirit’s might endued

The quest for being faithful

Till life’s last breath

Shall end in death

The finish line found faithful?

Renewed desire

Full grace inspire

To be found in Him faithful

And in that day

By grace shall say

T’was He who made me faithful

Heaven’s prize

Men will despise

The fault of being faithful

 

Hearts of Flesh Bleed

I’d rather have pain than porosis

It’s better to hurt than be hard

If I would be formed in His image

Then like Him I will bruise and be scarred

Since He was made perfect through suffering

A perfect high priest to become

Then even in this let me know Him

Taste His grief, feel his pain, be alone

For stony hearts wince not at chastening

But scourgings make hearts of flesh bleed

And weak ones will yield to this mercy

While proud hearts stay blind to their need

Lord save me from my love of comfort

And take from me my heart of stone

I know hearts of flesh know more suffering

But they also feel love like your own
