GOD AND US WEAK VESSELS

GOD AND US WEAK VESSELS

All things honestly considered, I serve my God

   in a relatively meager way:

And such does go along with this idea:

   my weak body is just a jar of clay.

But, little is much when God is in it;

   and a Master can still use a lesser tool;

In fact, God used little David, who,

   by God’s great grace, the nine foot giant did out duel.

'Cause David saw God bigger than that giant,

   seeing himself as just a servant;

But unlike his brothers who cried, "Can't",

   David stopped Mr. Giant's godless rant.

God specializes using things most humble

   and thus gains for Himself all glory;

By HIS strength my weakness is  made strong….    

   And….uh…. this now concludes my lesson-learned story.

INFINITE BUT INTIMATE, THE GOD OF PRAYER

INFINITE BUT INTIMATE, THE GOD OF PRAYER!

I Chronicles 29:10-13

WHEN MY VOICE LIFTS HEAVENWARD

     ECHOING THROUGH LONELY SPACE,

I RETRACE THE PATH MY LORD

     USED, SAVING ME BY HIS GRACE.

YOU SEE, HE IS WAY OUT THERE,

     INFINITE AND TRANSCENDENT,

BUT REACHABLE BY MY PRAYER…..

     BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT GRACE MEANT.

WHEN MY WHISPERS REACH HIS EAR,

     NESTLED IN HIS LOVING CARE,

WARMLY LOVED AS HIS CHILD DEAR…..

     JUST A THOUGHT BECOMES A PRAYER.

YOU SEE, HE HOLDS ME RIGHT HERE,

     INTIMATE AND MOST PRESENT,

ON HIS LAP, A FATHER DEAR…..

     HELD SNUG, HIS LOVING INTENT.

WHEN BY FAITH I FIND HIM THERE,

     THROUGH CHRIST WHO TO CALV'RY WENT;         AS HIS CHILD I KNOW HE CARES
      AND GIVES ME WARM BLESSINGS SENT.

YOU SEE, PRAYER REACHES HIM THERE,

     INSISTENT AND CONFIDENT,

AND HE COMES TO ME RIGHT HERE…..

     OUR TIME INTIMATELY SPENT.
