Words of Encouragement for the Spirit
In my brokenness where pain dwelled in
My heart was heavy incomplete filled with shame
Sadness overwhelmed my soul and was with pain
Until I heard His name
His name healed my heart
A true love that set me apart
His name brought joy and happiness to me
When I was blind and could not see
His name broke my chains
And love forever now will remain
No more pain or sorrow
My life is complete and I can see a better tomorrow
His name healed my soul
And because of His name now I am whole
I want to know you more each day
Give you my thoughts and my ways
I want to be in your presence
Where I can feel your majestic essence
I want to be able to speak to you
And know you are there
I want to walk in your truth
And at each moment run to you
Show me your way Lord that I may live right
Guide me each day and night
Let your light shine that I may be of use
Show me your way and each day you it will be I choose
Show me your way to love like you
Love my neighbors and my enemies
And their sadness undo
Let me be an example of how to follow you Jesus
And to be able to shine in the darkness like you do for us
Show me your way Lord
And let me abide in your word
Guide me to your truth
And be able to speak freely of you
Show me your way Lord
To protect me and others with your word
Abide in me forever
Through the end of my days
Show me your way
That they see you in me always
Broken and bruised
Abused and confused
I was left in the dark with pain
Sorrow and shame
With myself the only one to blame
Unable to remove the scars
That pierced right through my heart
Feeling stranded and afraid
Not knowing I would be saved
I thought I would always be on my own
Wandering through the dark valley all alone
Until you came and rescued me
Your hand touched mine and I was able to see
Your love you showed
Your majesty and power became known
You rescued me from the darkness
And guided me towards the light
You healed my heart from sadness
And in me you came to abide
You did not care where I was from
You took me into your arms away from harm
You rescued my soul and once again I was made whole
You rescued my life
As you paid the price
When you died on the cross that day
So I would not be in harm’s way.
You know the very thoughts of me
My ways that are your ways
You can see
You know my fears my past my shame
You know my tears and even call me by name
You never give burdens to heavy to bear
Despite my failures you show you are there
My mistakes you erase
My heart You make pure
You take all of me and make new
My hurt and shame you undo
You know everything of me
Even when I cannot see
You know my past and future
You know what’s in store
No one else knows me more
You know you know what I cannot see
You know you know my very thoughts of me
You know you know what’s in store
No one else knows me more
You know you know my past
You know you know reason why it didn’t last
You know you know what’s in store
No one else knows me more
Bounded by fear year by year
Held within these chains
Are you here Are You here??
Broken and bruised
Within these walls confused
Are you here Are you here
He heard my cry
Saw my pain
Each and every night
I would call your name
Redeemed my savior set me free
Chains broken my name was spoken
By his power I was blind but can now see
Redeemed my savior came to save
Wretched and wounded a new life to me he gave
Redeemed from my chains
Redeemed from my fear and pain
He was always there waiting for me
Redeemed by his power and love set free
Your hand is what I need to stand
Your love in moments I don’t understand
Your heart to mend my own
Your presence when I feel alone
Your grace in times of trouble
Your mercy during my trials
You are my only hope
You are my everything all I need
Through every step I take
Right here with me
Through my mistakes
Guiding me
You are my everything all I need
You are my eyes to see
My hope for what I believe
My love I have waited for
You are my everything and much more
You are my breath
You are my life
You are my everything
You are my light
You are the passion I have inside
You are my everything
You are my life
With just your voice you captivated my heart
Your love captured my soul
My life you set it apart
Away from the darkness I was in
Your love it took control
And your grace won over sin
And then I was free
Broken chains all the pain
Was taken away
Healed from my own shame
Your love had no blame
You took me in
Your grace won over sin and then I was free
Free from pain
Free from death destroying me
Free from shame
Free from Satan’s name
Free from unworthiness
Free from darkness
Healed from my own shame
Your love had no blame
You took me in
And your grace won over sin
And then I was free

~Trust in the Lord with all your heart.~ Proverbs 3:5
In this world of darkness
Where hate is everywhere around
Where sadness and strife
Is everywhere to be found
In the middle of my distress
Chaos and loneliness
You are always right beside me
Even through my misery
You hear my cries Lord
From the high mountain top
Even if I say no word
That still does not stop
You are always right beside me
Even if I don’t see
Your rod and staff comfort me
From harm everywhere
Your mercies and faith I see
Your grace shows that you care
You are always right beside me
Your amazing love is in what I believe!
I will be glad and rejoice in your love
For you saw my affliction and yet protected me from above
You knew my anguish yet did not let me parish.
You took control
And restored my soul
I will be glad and rejoice in your love
For you alone sacrificed your only son.
You gave your life for me
And set my soul free.
I will be glad and rejoice in your love
For you sent your blessings from above.
You protected me and calmed my heart
Through the darkest storms you never were apart.
I will be glad and rejoice in your love
For you saw my affliction and yet protected me from above.
When you feel afraid
And you fear tomorrow
Call on God and Pray
He will wipe away your tears
And calm your heart from all your fears
Call on God when you are in pain and hurt
He is there waiting alert
Call on God in every moment of your day
Bow down to him and pray
He is there listening waiting for you
He will guide and direct to his truth
Call on God when you feel you can’t go on
He will lift you and make you strong
Call on God and He will come to you
He is there waiting available any moment of the day
Call on God and Pray
And in you he will abide day by day
