The plan

Thank you Lord
For words of hope
That keep us going
Though we grope
That move us on
An unseen strand
Guided by your unseen hand

But now and then
We catch a glimpse
Of world changing thoughts
That do convince

We’re part of a larger plan
Guided by your hand
Bring restoration
To the land

Or many years

Thinking about my latter years
Anxious over the poor preparation
Feeling behind the pace of time

Yet from the start
I’ve placed my trust
In the holy God
Deliver us
To save us from our own miss-steps
The important areas we’ve been inept

From early years I had the dream
To walk with God in plans unseen
To live in supernatural flow
Not bound by natural laws
And know – that all is well

With purity of heart went forth
Attending to what I’d been taught
Of trusting in the holy writ
Extremely loyal not to quit

Now looking back o’r many years
Having questions
Near to tears
Seeming little left behind
In contribution
Or work combined

So once again reach deep inside
Ask for wisdom from our guide
Not only for the way to go
But augment us with those who know
What’s needed to complete this show

The very long horizon

Grant me understanding Lord
The nature of my being
How we are connected
In touch with things unseen

Created in your image
Placed upon the earth
With plans for many ages
Revealing your great worth

When I touch my heart, Lord
An organ of my soul
I sense we are together
Communion – being whole

How much of my action
Is really by your plan
What more may I do
To align with your unseen hand

Changing of the age

Been a challenging week. Began trying to get a better understanding of my utilization of time. Ended realizing that I really do need a breakthrough in "resting" in the course of work.

There must be a breakthrough...

Its time for this age to end
And the age of the glory begin
For I’ve done all the work to be done
Now Church manifest My son!

We see pockets of grace
Where glory shines forth in this place
How do we enter in
To the Church wide victory and win?

In my head the victory is clear
You rebuked them for having fear
You said greater works we should do
And walk on the earth like you

Your agenda it must be
Perfect training only from thee
But there must be a breakthrough too
A quantum step to pass on through.
