Hear my prayer O LORD

That I may do your will

Words are refusing to come

Those which will help him know

The blindness to which he clings

He See’s yet is without sight

The deafness which screams

Listen to hear the Gospel truth

Knowledge of his world reigns

GOD revealed only in his trials

Yet your Love for him abounds

Even as he has forsaken you

Your grace is waiting to mend

Mercy is his for the asking

Justice of sin to be forgiven

A new heart you will give him

Replacing his of hardened stone

Your desire is for all men to know

It is just for them you died

The Christ of the crucifixion

A Lord of the resurrection

The savior of his eternal soul

All this awaits his request

He needs merely to speak

Hear my prayer O LORD

TO FIND

What would you find?

If you looked at my heart

A beating mass of life’s blood

Or kindness and compassion

What would you find?

If you could see my mind

A grey group of nerves

Or the thoughts of Christ

What would you find?

If my money was on display

Self always first in my life

Or the Kingdoms work

What would you find?

If visiting my home unseen

Am I the same in private?

As I am in the churches walls

What would you find?

If coming to my job to listen

Do you hear the world speak?

Or Christ preached with love

What would you find?

If you joined me in my church

Do hypocrites enjoy prominence?

Or is humility always on display

What would you find?

If looking at pages of my Bible

Are they new, pristine, and clean?

Or time-worn dog-eared and ruffled

What would you find?

If you looked to me for Christ

Searching for the fruits of my life

Do I preach Jesus without words?

What would you find?

If standing before a sovereign

A king to give eternities judgment

When the book of life is opened

What would you find?

Baruch 10/10/08

KNOW

I want YOU to know Christ

The man of the Bible
The GOD of the heavens
The healer of broken hearts
The mender of all wounds
I want YOU to know Christ
The Alpha and the Omega
The son of David the king
The lion of the tribe of Judah
The prince of peace
I want YOU to know Christ
The baby in a manger
The boy teacher in the Temple
The messiah of Israel
The savior of the world
I want YOU to know Christ
The sovereign that reigns
The judge that demands justice
The father filled with love
The master who forgives
I want YOU to know Christ
The spotless atonement lamb
The sacrifice on the Cross
The redeemer of mankind
The giver of new life
I want YOU to know Christ
He who seeks finds
Here I am! I stand and knock
Hear my voice and open the door
And I will come in
I want YOU to know Christ
