UPTOWN

 Brilliant flash of radiant light

Shock and wonder no more fight.

Injury Undone

Skirmish Won

Bonds Shun

Demons Run

Scarcely possible yet it’s true

I surely saw Him transform you.

Mere remedy could not explain

This hallowed healing of your pain.

Glory Power

Heavenly Shower

Gracious Gift

Foundations Shift

Then and there before my eyes

To my wonder my surprise.

This power over you it came

When then you called upon His Name.

Holy Awe

Quivering Jaw

Praises Come

Witness Sung

But oh, doubt whispers, "What did you see?"

And, "Truly now how can this be?"

Eyes Deceive

Reason Cleave

Fears Weave

Anxious Heave

Mind and weigh what others say

Careful too what you convey.

Soberly now think it through

Repute shall hinge on what you do.

Magic Trick

Gimmicks Slick

Children's Tales

Doubt Prevails

Bounded by what others think

Faith does now quickly sink.

Silence- stop believe no more

Faith has dropped and hit the floor.

Slight'a Hand

Miracle Damned

Witness Song

Dead'n Gone

Faith is lost- believe it not

Its weakness where God's strength is wrought.

Hope's Vale

Crucifix Nail

Storm's Gail

Steady Sail

Him who helps our unbelief

Redeem the years stole by the thief.

God be true though each a liar

Faith he snatches from the fire.

Chosen Picks

Broken Fix

Righteous Speech

Proving Each

Sweet His Word be softly spoken

Doubt's spell doomed to be broken.

Bent and burst beneath His touch

The Spirit Holy restores us such.

Spiritual Stumble

Human Humble

Grace Given

Faith Live'n

RH

Thank you Lord for a beautiful day;

    For the Sun,

    For the freshness,

    the brightness, the newness of the day.

Thank you for life.

Lord, I ask that you would fill me today;

    Fill me with every good thing that comes from you,

    Fill me with you.

Move through my mortal being and fill me with your divine presence.

Touch and awaken my temporal flesh with your Divine Spirit.

Restore my soul again and again throughout this day.

Deeper and richer, greater and farther, higher and broader, fuller and larger Lord-

    Increase both my capacity and my quantity for and of you.

To live Lord, to live, I pray that I might truly live today-

    To a level of life that you have intended and prepared me for,

    To a level of life that you have won and redeemed me for.

To purposes you have created me for; To live Lord-

    Help me, enable me, empower me today, to live.

Amen.
