bow the knee…

What a privilege to come into God's presence,
just to linger with the One who set me free.
As I lift my eyes and see His Awesome Glory,
I remember Who He is and bow the knee.

Bow the knee, bow the knee,
He is King of all the ages, bow the knee!
God alone on His throne,
see Him high and lifted up and bow the knee!
Kneel before Him, all adore Him.
As you live to love Him more, bow the knee.

In His Hand He holds the Power of creation.
With His voice He spoke and all things came to be.
Yet He hears each simple prayer I bring before Him
when I humbly seek His face and bow the knee.

Bow the knee, bow the knee,
He is King of all the ages, bow the knee!
God alone on His throne,
see Him high and lifted up and bow the knee!
Kneel before Him, all adore Him.
As you live to love Him more, bow the knee.

Bow the knee, bow the knee,
He is King of all the ages, bow the knee!
God alone on His throne,
see Him high and lifted up and bow the knee!
Kneel before Him, all adore Him.
As you live to love Him more,
bow the knee. Bow the knee. Bow the knee.

Written by Ron Hamilton

I mutter 'bow the knee' whenever the boss made me frustrated and I wanted to please my Heavenly Father with a gentle quiet spirit. My relationship with the boss has changed for the better. The boss can still frustrate me like she has in recent days. Then I heard this song play on the radio. A gentle reminder from God that I can do this. It is a waste to be an angst over something that isn't Eternal. Bottom line is the soul trumps my job. Jesus Christ wants this soul. He paid for the soul. I cannot make the choice for this soul but a gentle quiet chips away the hardest rock…

Jesus keeps me singing…

There’s within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low,
Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,
In all of life’s ebb and flow.

~Refrain:~
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest Name I know,
Fills my every longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.

All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
Discord filled my heart with pain,
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
Stirred the slumb’ring chords again.

~Refrain:~
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest Name I know,
Fills my every longing,
Keeps me singing as I go

Feasting on the riches of His grace,
Resting ’neath His shelt’ring wing,
Always looking on His smiling face,
That is why I shout and sing.

~Refrain:~
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest Name I know,
Fills my every longing,
Keeps me singing as I go

Though sometimes He leads through waters deep,
Trials fall across the way,
Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
See His footprints all the way.

~Refrain:~
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest Name I know,
Fills my every longing,
Keeps me singing as I go

Soon He’s coming back to welcome me,
Far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
I shall reign with Him on high.

~Refrain:~
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest Name I know,
Fills my every longing,
Keeps me singing as I go

Psalms 40:3
Luther Bridge

To keep singing when you don't feel like it. When your boss comes in and changes your Saturday plans and you see your plans for getting your house painted and ready to decorate wash away. The house begins to loom large and you can't have it. You aren't going to let it get you down so you find you got to sing. Then the radio plays this song… God is so good…

rest in His Presence ...

Meaty: "This is how we KNOW that we belong to the Truth & how we set our hearts at REST in His Presence whenever our hearts fail & condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts & He KNOWS all of me good & bad. # I John 3:19-20

Skinny: to keep my faint heart in His Presence cuz He covers & keeps my heart no matter what

adventure …

There is something about the word adventure that excites the mind. Plans start to form. The heart starts to beat faster. The face begins to flush like petal soft roses. There is a lightness and a bounce n the footsteps. There is no drudgery. There is an "I can do this" attitude. Adventure isn't just for men. There is something there for the girl.

This girl, this tiny girl often feels like a minuscule speck up against such vastness. Probably more like the poor confused squirrel this morning who had started to venture across the road only to have two rumbling beasts barreling towards him.

I had let the house loom too large for me. Requests for help have been tossed aside. I decided that I needed to step back, access, and then do what I could allowing things to fall in place unlike the squirrel who didn't stay backed and risked his hide in front of my jeep. I think he made it and saved my poor heart. Not sure how his little heart faired.

To stop getting discouraged over things I have no control ove,r I decided the best thing to do is turn a question lose. "What adventure can I get into today?" It makes the eye begin to twinkle and the fingers drum together. It blows away the endless to-do lists leaving what gets done a satisfaction.

So what if I have ugly beige inners to my outlets and light switches! So what if I stumble my way to the front door in winter because the light switches are on the entry side. So what if the bar table is at table height. They are going on the baha list. They will get done and most likely by me. I shall be that adventurist that pulls our the pictures saying "I been and done that". No more freak outs and low points. It is about off roading. Be the beast. Roar!!!!!
