I came to show Myself

I came to show myself
I came
I came to show you
How strong
You already are
Your heart is hid in me
I will always show off my treasures
For the whole world to see
That I am the one
Who has held you close forever
Who has never left you
Who shows you love unending
Did I not set the stars in the sky
And the ocean waves to roar
Did I not craft each heart
As delicate as a dew drop
But yet unbreakably strong
It is I who has never left you
Whispering my love
This is just the beginning
Of new times of joy unimaginable
Of a wiping away of tears
Of unfolding of eternity's space

Manifested Power

Coming in to land in Tuscany

Stunningly beautiful terrain

In natural hues 

Of olive, earthy brown and dusky grey

Brought me joy that sprang up songs

Because of the evidence 

Of God's creative power

Put on display for me

Then I got to thinking

When I sing the chorus

Come down o Lord

And manifest your power

It seems to me that I am asking for something he has already done 

Should I not sing 

Thank you o Lord for your manifested power?

Our triune God manifests himself 

In more ways than we can imagine

It was all around me to see

In magnificent clumpy clouds

In the topography of the mountains

I came to an acknowledgement 

That even the breath of life 

Passing in and out of my nostrils

Is the manifested power of God

This, the most sophisticated 

Complex, operating system in the world

The human body, is a complete marvel

And for sure a sign 

Of God's manifested power

It is an interconnected, Interdependent plumbing, electrical and sensory circuit

Capable of amazing complexities

How the body works

Is mind blowing at the very least 

So, I am changing my song

I am changing my tune

Thank you o Lord

For your manifested power

Gratitude

GRATITUDE

Game changer, awesome Father

You have given me 

A beautiful garment of praise 

Today I thank you Lord 

For your faithfulness

You have answered  and given

Exceedingly abundantly more

I cannot begin  to tell how much

I am strengthened within

Because of who you are

Double portion giver

Restorer of locust eaten places

I bow, I worship you 

In gratitude

This day of my birth

Spectacular display!

 

I was woken this morning
First by the booming sounds of thunder
And then by a spectacular display
Dazzling lights and crackling sounds
God of might!
Displaying His splendour
Displaying His power
The beauty of His creation
Peals of thunder rent the heavens
The earth shuddered
Flashes of lightening
Mega volts of a trillion stars
Like a fire work display
Amped up to the hilt
Awesome, mighty God!
You pour down the rain like a silky garment
The clouds form a canopy
Over the earth's space
I watch in wonder at the power of your might
And the beauty of your creation
I bow, i worship
Lord you are like no other!
