Consumed

I stand in the fire waiting for You,
Thy Spirit consume me in everything I do.
By faith I stood in the fire and was not consumed,
You stood by me, when in the fire I was entombed.


The flames of Hell sought to claim my life,
But You pulled me away from the strife.
My life would be overtaken; if not covered by the blood,
You have kept me stable in the overwhelming flood.


A life consumed by You will know Your fulfilling joy,
And this I can proclaim to You without alloy.
From sinner to God's redeeming grace,
I know that my soul has an eternal dwelling place.


Lord, Consume me like the fire of Daniel's day,
Please lead me, so I do not go astray.
So when I join You on bright heaven's shore,
My praise will be forever more.

Lay It All Down

What I have is meager,
But I am always eager,
To use what I have for Thee,
For it is the only way I see.


The days are passing,
And what have we done?
Was it something that was lasting?
Or will you come away with none.

You laid it all down on the cross,
So at the end we might not suffer loss.
We are here to take up our own,
So that through it all Your glory will be shown.

I lay it all down at Your beautiful feet,
Even when trials and troubles we meet.
The reward is not in receiving a crown,
But it is in laying it all down.

A Spark

A spark can set a place ablaze,

And can cause a fire to raise.

The fire can refine or destroy,

And can refine without alloy.

A spark comes away from the flame,

And fades away with no shame.

For the life it had was short,

From this there is much to report.

As a spark we must burn bright,

And glow with God's light.

Once we pass it on we must fan the flame,

And go forth in Jesus' name.

Looking

We are looking for something to fill this hole,
This part that God has given us called a soul.
We search constantly to find some meaning in this life,
In this world that daily has unwavering strife.


Look to God, the one that created you,
See that He by His power can get you through.
Lift your eyes to see the light that He is shining.
To answer to your soul's pining.


We look at these things that He has written,
And wonder why He for us was smitten?
He thought to save us from all that we have done wrong,
For without Him we are condemned to punishment eternity long.


Look past this veil of darkness that has been put over our eyes,
To see that what we are told by man is made up of lies.
Look to the One that has peace amongst these fleeting days,
To see that He is the only One deserving of our praise.

Free

The chains that are binding my heart and my soul,
Are the ways that Satan seeks my life to control.
Escape is what I seek from this deep dark prison cell,
So that my soul will not end up burning in Hell.


I had never known how to see,
Because of the distorted images in front of me.
I once was like the blind man who in darkness dwelt,
Until the hand of my Savior I felt.


Like the experience that Paul and Silas had,
I through rejoicing am made glad.
Freedom, I claim, through Jesus and His name.
Satan through Christ has been put to shame.
