(didn’t really like the way that flowed; or didn’t…so here’s a song-lyric form)
Creator God
Who made the seas
and life therein; by Spirit’s breeze
Breathe life in me
and heal today
the wounds I’ve gathered
in my way.
(chorus):
Lord Jesus, from Whom waters pour
for captives’ lives; to set them free..
within my soul your wells restore,
and let new fountains flow from me.
Almighty God
Who split the sea
and by Whose hand
we’re all set free;
the seas now part
for me today
which threaten, Lord
to drown my way.
(chorus)
Oh Jesus, Lord
You stilled the seas
and put disciples’ fears at ease.
Lord, still the storms
in me today
and give me grace
to see your way.
Oh, master, God
You made the sea
and also out of love
made me;
Lord hold me close
and speak to me…
Lord, by Your Spirit
set me free.
Lord Jesus from Whom waters pour
for captives’ lives; to set them free..
within my soul your wells restore,
and let new fountains flow from me.

Hey, that is a great Psalm.

[and let new fountains flow from me.]
Yes. I like this prayer poem. It reflects a need I often have as well. Thank you.
thanks buddy, and thanks for the kind words you left me today.
I got home today and am trying to catch up on posts. This poem is beautiful. May God allow the seas to rush over you only enough to “wash” you and after that, to part them so you can walk through while on His path. And when you need it, may He raise you up on eagles’ wings. in Him, Gerrie
I still like it
Are you working too hard? ‘Cause you mentioned another 4×12 run, which I don’t even think I could physically do!
RYC: I didn’t know you were a cat person. Good for you! I’m glad you’re still only doing 6/14. I could possibly push myself to 4 if I knew that would be the case too. The first month I worked at this place, they had me doing 4 x 12 every week, though not all in a row. I just about went into meltdown all over again.
For some reason this didnt come up in my subscriptions.
This is exactly like a hymn, I think. Breath of Dawn must be a nurse too.
Thanks for your encouragement…I like your layout and lyric…have a great weekend….Mike
Hi, Jim. I haven’t seen you on here in some time and thought I’d stop by and say hello.
I like your prayer. It gives a very comforting feeling.

God bless you, Jim…

That last comment was from me but I was on my sister’s site doing some work for her on her site. She is still trying to learn all about xanga and how to do what. Just didn’t want to confuse you too badly. Anyway from me and my sister, nannybonnie, thank you for sharing with us. Have a blessed day!
Pam
So is yours!:)
Thank you
you haven’t posted in a long time! are you still kickin’ Jim?
wow! that explains a lot! I look forward to hearing from you again when things calm down a bit!
Thanks for sharing this. Havent heard this song but the lyrics is sure good and inspiring. Pondering over our gospel songs I see the reality in the secular songs but has no proof of destiny. bless you so much.
Great Poem! Have a wonderful week! Blessings!!
Hadn’t heard from you in a while, hope all is well!
Be Blessed,
Mike

somehow, your post didn’t make it to my subscription thing. Just stopping by because of your writing ability, to invite you to visit christiansongwriters.org It’s a neat site I found, you may already know about it. I’m telling the two people I know who write songs.
I love this! You write so beautifully from a thankful heart so pure~ makes the lyrics all the more precious to read.
Neat display pic! =D
