The love of the Father, shown through the Son

I feel in this post to glorify my Father God and my Lord Jesus, the Word of God, through poems and songs that I have been brought to write since I have been born again of God's Holy Spirit. Some may have been shared in previous posts, but these are what are on my heart now to share. They are a variety of verses through which I spoke to the Lord, and also through which I have felt that the Lord spoke to me in certain appropriate situations, as I work out my salvation and learn God's ways through the teaching of the Word spoken to me daily by the Holy Spirit.

If You wasn't with me


Lord if You wasn't with me I couldn't go on
for I know in this world I just do not belong
and it's only the love that You have for all men
that I feel working through me again and again
that is keeping this soul on an even keel
and combating everything else I might feel


Weep no more child (song about repentance)
Weep no more child, I have bought your peace
I have suffered in your place
all the blows the world has dealt you 
I have taken on my face

Turn around turn around and I will forgive
turn around, turn around, turn around child and live
For I take no pleasure in the death of a soul
turn around, seek my face child, and I'll make you whole

Strive no more child, I can bring release                         
I regained what you had lost
Righteousness was purchased for you                                
when they nailed me to that cross

Turn around turn around and I will forgive
turn around, turn around, turn around child and live
For I take no pleasure in the death of a soul
turn around, seek my face child, and I'll make you whole

Sin no more child, turn and look at me
see that I have paid the price
so that you could have salvation
I became the sacrifice

Turn around turn around and I will forgive
turn around, turn around, turn around child and live
For I take no pleasure in the death of a soul
turn around, seek my face child, and I'll make you whole


Somewhere (a prayer for others) -song
Somewhere someone's hurting Lord
somewhere someone's hurting
A wife has left her husband
and he's crying in despair
He doesn't know there's a comforter     
he doesn't know You're there
Lord reach out and comfort him
send help from above
send help from the sanctuary
let the world see Your love

Somewhere someone's dying Lord
somewhere someone's dying
The doctor's shake their heads and say
'There's nothing can be done'
They've never seen a miracle
performed by God's own Son
Lord reach out and heal him
send help from above
send help from the sanctuary
let the world see Your love

Somewhere someone's crying Lord
somewhere someone's crying
Her tears are shed for all mankind
she knows the end is near
She doesn't know there's a perfect love
that casts out every fear
Lord reach out and love her
send help from above
send help from the sanctuary
let the world see Your love

Somewhere someone's waiting
somewhere someone's waiting
They've heard there's hope in Jesus Christ
the Name above them all
So they're waiting for their Lord's return
responding to Your call
Lord You've reached out to us
God sent help from above
He sent help from His sanctuary
He sent You - His perfect Love


If I didn't have You Lord (song)


If I didn't have You Lord, there'd be no point to life
for without You there's nothing - only sickness and strife
You was sent from the Father with a message of love
to show me the way Lord to my home high above

Oh once I was lonely and lost in the night
my life wasn't good Lord - no, nothing was right
You came with forgiveness for all I'd done wrong
now I offer my praise Lord with the words of this song

Oh Jesus my saviour, my wonderful King
You left Your great throne Lord and every good thing
You came in my likeness and took all the shame
so that I might be healed Lord by the power in Your Name

I know that there's nothing that I would desire
above Your Salvation though I walk through the fire
I know that You're with me every step of the way
The world lost a sinner when I met You that day

I could never describe the beauty of the place I was taken to in my near death experience. In one sentence I could say 'That was reality, my life on earth is the dream.'  The extreme feeling of love, and the beauty is what we have to look forward to after life on earth as believers - nothing and nowhere on this earth compares to it.

Hi R's Rue,
Welcome to my blog.

Brenda said...

Hi Victor,
God bless you too.

Laurie Collett said...

Hi Brenda,
Beautiful poems expressing Scriptural truth. What a blessing! May God bless you and your ministry.

Brenda said...

Hi Laurie,
as I have journeyed on with the Lord - to our promised land - it is as if I have been having a conversation with our Lord and the Father through scripture, poems and songs. I believe that whatever we are given to share, whether on blogs, in the streets, or individual conversations with whosoever, is set up by God. We shall overcome the spiritual enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Revelation ch. 12 v.11.
God bless you Laurie as you share all the Lord has given you to share.

Aritha said...

Victor S E Moubarak said...

Brenda said...

God bless you too Victor with all He has for us in Jesus, the One mediator between man and God.

R's Rue said...

How are you doing

Brenda said...

Hello R's Rue,
at the moment I am going through a few hard trials, but am endeavouring to trust in the Lord's guidance through the Word He speaks to me daily through the Holy Spirit. Sometimes trials can be quite hard, but because I have been brought through many in my walk in the Lord I believe that trials are there for a reason and to strengthen us spiritually. I came over to your blog the other day for the first time, and it will be nice to visit you again.
God bless you.

Laurie Collett said...

Amen, Brenda -- whatever blog post, poem, or song that honors God is given by Him! May He continue to use us in this way. God bless you and your ministry,
Laurie

Brenda said...

Amen Laurie, and God bless you and your ministry. I always think of Him as the master chess player, and we as the pieces that are moved around to win the game.

Sandi said...

Thank you for sharing these, Brenda. I always like to savor your posts. It seems I missed this one when you posted it, but I am here now! God bless you.

Brenda said...

Hi Sandi,
please don't worry about missing one of my posts, what we all post will remain there for sharing. Always lovely to see you, I hope you are keeping well. God bless you and yours with all He has for us in Jesus.

Geoff Maritz said...

Hello Brenda.
Just popped in to visit and say hi.
I do enjoy your poetry very much and can empathize completely. You do know that the challenges you are facing right now are being used to test you and check you out? But I have good news for you; "This too shall pass," I promise.
Blessings from Geoff in South Africa.

God bless you Geoff. All the promises of God are YES in Jesus

mawardi said...

I like this opinion

Brenda said...

Hello mawardi, thank you for your kind comment.

Laurie Collett said...

Hi Brenda,
I like the analogy of God as the chess master, also as the conductor who orchestrates all our lives to blend together in a glorious symphony. God bless you and your ministry.
Laurie

Brenda said...

Hi Laurie,
yes, I have always thought of God as the Master chess player who moves the chess pieces - maybe because I used to play chess? Whatever we see Him as, He is in charge of the body of Christ on earth.
God bless you Laurie with all He gives you to share.

David C Brown said...

Reminded of the old hymn:
Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

It is fine to continue in simple trust in the Lord Jesus.

Brenda said...

Hi David,
that is so right. if a man can walk upon water by keeping his eyes upon Jesus, then so can we come through our trials and tribulations if we keep our eyes fixed upon the Word of God.
