Blown away........

Since last Sundays amazing South City Church morning meeting I have been processing something so obvious and yet so deep within me that its only now that it is hitting me.

Last Sundays testimonies in church just blew me away! To hear of God healing Margaret's chronic knee problem and to witness Vitalija moved to tears and almost speechless at the power of God's hand in her family has left me mesmerised, blown away by the love, majesty and Grace of our great and awesome God who stoops down to bless people who look to Him (and even those who don't!)

Today, I just simply recognise that God is good. He is so so so so GOOD! Even when He hides His face from us it has never ever compromised one iota of His goodness or love. To have him reveal Himself in such ways last Sunday must never get 'lost' on us. God is love.

Lord, keep moving by your Holy Spirit in our lives and beyond our lives. Touch the city through us. Rescue unbelievers, shed abroad the knowledge of your Glory and Grace. Heal the sick, set the oppressed free, surprise us with joy and wonder at breakthroughs in impossible situations. Whisper anew in our inner ear today.

God is so Good! Can you see Him today? Wait...His goodness will pass before you!

First love

First love, but First His love.

Clamour, clamour and more clamour. No-one makes me succomb-I just do.
I'll get around to you Lord I promise myself but when this happens I
seldom do.
Information-age idol and busyness mix, why do I bow down to this below
the radar fix?
No demands are made from heaven just eternity's heart cry, no jilted lover syndrome, just our spirits that sigh.

Friends, time is short - to meet, our Maker in awe and liquid love
replete.
Arrest this day, apprehend this hour, arise anew to Christ our great High Tower.
The drug of sleep, its power can keep, us from our God with life most deep.

First love, first love but first His love.

Only then can we capture and make place for the Dove.
Throw off the guilt but not the call, from Father's heart,
first love, our all.

Sons of Yearning

SONS OF YEARNING (God of Burning)

Flood our lives with hunger burning
Nations wait for sons of yearning
God of fire, Grace and Awe
We give to you, our lives our all

Lamb of God the Lion roaring
Deep to deep your Spirit calling
Heirs with Christ, in Promise stand
Arising called to take the land

Burn in your Kingdom bright
Christ the light giving sight
Hope of the nations, salvation is here
Visions that all may see
Glimpses of glory
With Signs & wonders, Your Heavens draw near

Marshall now your troops deploy
The works of satan to destroy
In Majesty you ride ahead
In victory risen from the dead

Til you again return one day
We’ll trim our lamps with oil and pray
Then angels praise will join our cries
And ring like bells from Heaven’s skies
