Bound in Safety, Free to Love

Good morning Daddy, 

Help me to be for you in all ways ~ never against you

You are God ~ you are holy, pure ~ just and mighty

You created the heavens and set the earth in its space

You alone stand in the position of ultimate power

And you alone love all, even the unjust, alike 

You perfectly balanced darkness by adding to it

You didn’t diminish....you merely gave it light

You alone set heaven above the ocean

You alone combined day into night

 

You are our Lord, God….The Almighty

All of the angels take charge when you talk

You alone give breath to all creatures

And you alone reconciled where there is life

 

You are the ultimate, the highest…..Hosanna

You eternally uphold all that will be

For you alone have the power to destroy things

But in your power you love and protect

Yes! You have the authority, but choose to give mercy

This alone shows the truth of a creator filled with grace

The difference between the Father and the fiend of destruction

So let us see their distortion and believe as we seek 

 

You are the God who loves His creation

You sent your son to live among all men

You and He are One in your Spirit…..

The Spirit upholds, empowers and protects

When Love is alive, no fear can over power

For there is no power over yours ….only less 

When you are for us, all things must diminish

For you uphold all in the clutch of your hand

Your arm is not short; so we know they can’t reach us

To you it is child’s play……your children can’t see

In tender compassion you show us to inform us

That your understanding surpasses our things

 

You are kind, you are strong, you are gentle and our tower

You lift us up, give us light….set us high

You, in your wisdom, give us plans to go after

Then you teach us, empower us and protect our flight 

Today is a new day and it’s filled with your lessons

So many mysteries……….so little time

Please let me learn and enjoy every second

For I know your plans are good…. not for harm

No matter how I see you, whether full or parts missing

You know my heart and you’re no lesser God

 

Be glorified by the faith of your children

Gather us Daddy….. underneath your great wings

You have surely called and to you we gather

No longer are we scattered, we’re not vapors….. we are sand!

Roll into the age with your awesome body

Raise us up, let us peak…. then flow through all our life

Not of ourselves, but empowered with your Spirit

For we too are One, as your Son did request

 

You are the faithful, the true God….Our Father

You wrote the history of all beginning and end

All things culminate in the cross road of the journey

Pulled from the past into your eternal life 

So today, I believe and I will not be mistaken

Bring me light; on your shoulders set me high

Now from your depths explain these things to me

Tell me the stories of your life and love

Help me to share in truth with compassion

For that is your hope; that we hear and believe

Thank you for planning such magnificent moments

Thank you for empowering my seconds to share

 

Please, dear Lord Jesus, let my time be for your glory

Where I am weak, give me cover so they see greater things

You are my hope, you’re my song, you’re my vision…..

No longer seeing sugar plums…. yet fantastic all the same

I must move on from the lesser things I was built on

I want all your will to replace what I’ve been told

My life was sold; I thank you for the purchase….

The thief spoke of stories which distorted what I knew

You won my soul; you’re the victor and my Hero!

Given the glory taken, that it may return seven fold 

You deserve honor; the truth and all believing…

You deserve children…… generations with your name

You deserve to be seen in your fullness……

You deserve one voice to be calling out in praise

You deserve to hear us shout out to the heavens…..

Using your authority to bind the lesser things…….

You deserve to have us eternally as one body……

No longer bringing sacrifice; bringing honor to your name

Give us power and control…just like you love us

Teach us balance, teach us mercy, teach us how to get along…

Please…today, Lord God Almighty come into us; bindus safely….. loose your love 

This is my prayer today ~ in honor of Our Christ…..

Kisses,

Candace
