God's Goodness

INSPIRED POEMS ~~ PRAYERS ~~ SONGS

                        
Dear Reader,
You may be one of the Lord's precious own beloved ones, you may be a truth-seeker, you may have come upon this site because the Lord has sent you or . . . whatever the reason, my heart's prayer for you is that you would be inspired and encouraged and certainly drawn closer to our Lord's precious Heart of Love which would bring Him delight and satisfaction.

These inspired writings were written before 1996 during my times of sorrow and suffering.  The Lord was so very merciful and loving to me in ministering His comfort to me and also to guide me to record my prayers and cries along with praises and worship to HIM!  To GOD be the ETERNAL GLORY! 

I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you as to what to prayerfully read and that He will speak to your heart whatever He wants to speak to you.  Each of us is so unique and special in our Lord and He gives His whole attention and love to us when we seek Him and love Him with our heart's affections.           

                    ~~ NO FEAR ~~   (MEDITATION)

     I will not fear to travel deep within My Jesus
     For it was there that I was born anew. 
     Wrapped in love just as I was
     Hidden from all others' view.

     I will not fear to travel deeper into My Lord
     To unfold and blossom for His Sake
     For linked with Him only love is out-poured
     A lovely new creature Jesus will make.

                     ~~ TAKE ME HIGHER ~~ (PRAYER)

Take me higher
I cannot come
Unless I see Your outstretched 
Hand toward me.

Take me higher
I cannot come
Unless I see Your sweet and
Precious smile.

Take me higher
I cannot come
Unless I hear Your Voice
Your Mighty Voice.

O take me higher
On this ladder,
Dear Lord, I pray
For I pant for You and You alone.

Yes, take me higher until I rest 
Upon Your Bosom ~~
Ah yes, I see Your outstretched Hand
Your sweet and precious smile.

I hear Your Mighty Voice
Saying, "Come, child and be My beloved
     As I am Yours
And together we will reign in My Love."

                  ~~ TIGHTEN THE BOND ~~  (PRAYER)

Tighten the bond of our love, My Jesus
For I do love You so
Tighten the bond of my faith in You, Jesus
For all You plan to bestow.

While I hold onto You in the Heavens above
I know that You are able, dear Lord
To handle me with strength and with love
Yea, Lord, Thou are able, with Your Heart outpoured.

Tighten the bond of our love, My Jesus
For I do love You so
Tighten the bond of my faith in You, Jesus
For all You plan to bestow.

My gift to You is my trusting heart
May it give unto You great pleasure
For You made it clear that this is my part
And I aim to please in full measure.

Tighten the bond of our love, My Jesus
For I do love You so
Tighten the bond of my faith in You, Jesus
For all You plan to bestow.


      ~~ MY FAITHFUL LORD ~~  (MEDITATION)

I sit and think of You, My Lord
In all my trials and woes
How You come as a cutting sword
In time against all my foes.
What a wonderful life in God!

Ever caring, ever sharing
In my sorrows, in my sighs
Ever watching, ever hearing
The burdens before Your eyes.
What a wonderful life in God!

Who could count all the rescues
That only You could perform
Ah, 'tis so sweet and lovely to muse
On Your beautiful and mighty form.
What a wonderful life in God!

Cutting away, cleaning, soothing
These done~~all in Your loving plan
As I hide, sheltered in Your wings
You bring me into that perfect man.
What a wonderful life in God!

                ~~ IN THE STILLNESS ~~ (SONG)

     In the stillness, in the quiet
     I will meet My Master True.
     In the stillness, in the quiet
     You can meet Your Master, too.

     He is real ~~ He is there
     In your heart for you today.
     It's in the stillness ~~ in the quiet
     You can meet with Him today.

     He has said, Hear My Voice
     Today's the day to make the choice
     Harden not your hearts to Him
     Just believe and enter in.

     There's a promise of His Rest
     You know the plea, it's 'enter in'.
     Hear the Word ~~ unite with faith
     Commune with Him in your heart today.

     In the stillness, in the quiet
     I have met My Master True
     It's in the stillness, in the quiet
     You can meet Your Master, too.

                       ~~ JESUS IS MY SONG ~~ (SONG)

     There are higher heights to climb
     And far away roads to travel
     I see secret places I long to enter
     With You, My Lord, with You.

     There are deeper wells to discover
     Where only eyes of love can see
     And I desire those treasures
     In You, My Lord, in You.

     I see the shining of Your Glory
     A brilliance of rays pouring forth
     Oh, the splendor of the Great I AM
     Unto me, My Lord, unto me.

     There are melodies that I'd love to hear
     That only My Master could sing
     Oh, touch my ears, My Beloved
     Let me hear...You sing...to me.

     There are higher heights that I'm going to climb
     And far away roads I'll travel
     I'll see secret places I longed to enter
     With You, My Lord, with you.

  ~~ THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD ~~ (MEDITATION)

     Ah Perfect Will of God
     You whisper in my ear
     Revealing heart and mind
     To me ~~ you are so precious.

     Ah Perfect Will of God
     What union you possess
     With God ~~
     To always, always
     Be ~~ His Pleasure
     His aim
     His work
     His rest!

     Oh Perfect Will of God
     I love you!
     I love you more
     Than words can speak!
    
     Oh Holy Will
     My sweet and tender will
     Merciful and Just
     Loving Will
     You ~~ Oh Perfect Will
     How blessed to be in HIM
     And HE in me
     And WE are one!

        ~~ MY CRY ~~ (PRAYER)

     Purify this vessel
     Purify this soul.
     Grant to me Your rays of light
     Give to me Your gift of sight.

     Purify this vessel
     Purify this soul.
     Make me clean, oh, let it be!
     Make me holy, before Thee.

     Purify this vessel
     Purify this soul.
     Create in me Thy righteous ways
     Until upon Thy Face I gaze. 

     ~~ HIDDEN BEAUTY ~~  (MEDITATION)

There is a beauty hidden deep within me
It's He, My Lovely Jesus, Master, King and Lord.
And in that place He gives His call and invites thee
To meet with Him and rest, in love and to adore.

There is a jewel hidden deep within me
The Pearl beyond compare in all the earth.
There is a jewel hidden deep within me
And I found Him on the day of my new birth.

There is a beauty hidden deep within me
Filling and overflowing all those who love
O that I could express Him to you perfectly
This One who condescended rom Above.  (Phil. 2:6-7)

  1. Remember, that death works in us that life might abound to others. The cycle of dying and then new live in us is as natural as the seasons are making way each time for a greater death and out of it a great Life in our Lord that "in Him we live and move and have our being." Thanks for sharing your poems, dear sister.

    Bless you IN the Son always,
    Michael
