Running For My Life
Oh God accept me in your kingdom I pray.
Stir up the gifts bestowed upon me;
I surrender all to you my King.
My heart rejoices for your presence, rejoicing I sing.
Your marvelous wonders in my life draws me nearer;
Nearer to my crown and eternity, nearer to thee, I fear you.
Reverence to my Father, indeed His covenant towards me, keeps me holding on;
Waiting for my Lord to use me at His appointed time.
His purpose His will, His way; not mine.
Reading, studying,seeking His face;
Accepting new mercy, new grace.
Sharing Jesus, telling my story, His glory;
Learning, teaching, listening, about History.
Doing what I can, telling the people, how wonderful and precious life is a gift;
All His children we listen but there is no change;
Church on every corner are we helping at range;
Or do we scare them and run them away back into the street;
They retreat.
God grant me the ability to see the need and fulfill it;
Time to get up instead of just sit.
Dreaming is good action is better;
I see the hurt, the pain, life's curve balls:
The bad, the ugly, the evil, the bitter.
The lost souls, I cry for each one,
Reach one, teach one.
The Great Commission we gather like seashells;
We continue praying we desire to miss hell.
I seek to hear those words...
Well done, you can come on in.
I ran the race I wear my crown, I am in my mansion, I have earned my wings,
I kept the faith, I never want to lose you God, You gave your son king Jesus the Christ
About this poem
Sitting here allowing God to speak to my heart Watching outside the window seeing the wind blow, the leaves spread apart. Feeling the weight upon my shoulders heavy, yet light; I breathe new hope as I trust there is assurance, each day and night. Our Father in heaven watches over everything that concerns us; We must never forget and always remember, we must. His grace and mercy shared amongst His people we seek; As we remain humble, patient, and meek. God will deliver us by and bye; As I gaze into that beautiful sky. I am running for my life, believing for His return, I wonder, I pray, I talk to my Savior, I cry out for His presence, I yearn. I am amazed at what He's doing in my life, I ask for forgiveness of all my wrongs and bad deeds; His answer to me is through His righteousness I will succeed. His love for me is so great, He gave His Son; I'm grateful, so thankful, Jesus is the only one. I'm eager and excited as my world changes I gravitate; I'm learning and as more »
