Desire

Jul 1, 2018 | Blogs, Poetry Spotlight

Blessed are the hungry for they shall be filled. Our Lord declared it, and His words are true!

How lovely you are, my King of Glory. I worship you in the beauty of holiness. Above all things, you are my heart’s desire.

Desire
You are a fountain that will never cease
Mover of Mountains and the Prince of Peace
Oh! I hunger for your word.

A faithful caller standing at the door
You came to fill me so I thirst no more
Oh! I hunger for your word.

Seed of the woman, perfect sacrifice
Our Father’s blessing of eternal life
Oh! I hunger for your word.

“For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.”
Psalm 107:9

Even the lyrics of praise and worship proclaim His word. A healthy spiritual appetite hungers and thirsts for the Living Water: Bread from heaven. So take Him in by the Spirit.

A Prisoner for Christ

The Auction Block: Who will give all for a helpless sinner? Hell Hands me over to a nail-scarred embrace. I begin a new journey with the Lover of my soul. I thank you Abba Father for a seal and a cross, which is my claim to freedom as a prisoner for Christ. A Prisoner...
