Our Seven Years Together

That was year One,
Union of our souls,
And getting to know,
In Kuwait and back home.

That was year Two,
Shaping each other,
And born again together,
And in His love more and more.

That was year Three,
Building our home,
And opening its door,
For our friends and family.

That was year Four,
Bambi arrived,
A gift from the Lord,
Straight from His heart.

That was year Five,
Year of Africa,
Of meeting God's own people,
And growing with them.

That was year Six,
We three in His service,
Annointed and sanctified,
For our the One.

That was year Seven,
Walking with Jesus,
And witnessing empty tomb,
In Jerusalem.

A life ahead,
Together with you,
And God leading us,
I am excited in love with you. 

Your Love, Oh Lord

I love you, Lord,

And I come to you,
Just as I am,
A weary wanderer in the world.

Lured away and sun burnt,
Pleagued and weakened,
Tempted and given in,
And yet your voice re-calling.

Led back by glory reckoning,
Oasis of rest and health abundant,
All for me you've given,
And all transgressions mine forgiven.

Years gone by moment by moment,
In your blissful presence,
I love you, Lord,
For indeed your love, my God.

I am Yours, O Lord.

In turbulent times, O Lord, you are my peace,
Help me to remember you calmed the Sea of Galilee.
When my labor seems in vain, O Lord, you are my reward,
Help me to remember that you hold my future secured.
When my flesh aches, O Lord, you are my strength,
Help me to remember that by your stripes I am healed.
When I lose and lack, O Lord, you are my wealth,
Help me to remember that you gave it all for my all.
When loneliness pinches, O Lord, you are beside me,
Help me to remember you died alone for my holy companionship.
When the world hurts, O Lord, you are my shield,
Help me to remember that you forgave transgressions at Golgotha.
When temptations lure, O Lord, you are my refuge,
Help me to remember that you overcame sins by righteousness.
When I pray, O Lord, you be my voice,
Help me to remember not my will but yours be done.
When I minister, O Lord, you are my wisdom,
Help me to remember that your word revives.
When all is well, O Lord, you are my portion,
Help me to remember that your grace in enough for me.
