“I hear the Savior say,
Thy strength indeed is small,
child of weakness
Watch and Pray-
find in Me – thine all in all.”
“I hear the Savior say,…”
My prayer to God is “Change me, Lord. My countenance is hard and pained.
Help me remember the foundations:
“I will never leave you or forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5.
“I am the Lord… (You are ) precious in my sight… and I have loved you.” Is. 43:3,4.
Help me remember the exhortations:
“Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Ephesians 5:14.
I must turn around and pray.
“May my hard countenance be changed. Christ shine on me. In Jesus’ name.”
Child of weakness, watch and pray.
Find in Me,
thine all in all.
Battles rage inside my mind, and voices speak: “You don’t have what it takes.”
“Give up now. Things will never change.”
But like a dream flowing in circles, the Holy Spirit shows me the way, again, and again:
” . . . Thy strength indeed is small, child of weakness watch and pray. Find in Me, thine all in all.
“Hear Me, listen, receive My Spirit. Be filled, and be changed.”
I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel.
Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful . . .
Come, let us go up to Zion to the LORD our God.” Jeremiah 31:3,4.
“Jesus paid it all!
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain – He washed it white as snow!”
A song of peace, rest, and truth from the Lord brings to remembrance God’s true Word:
“Lord, now indeed I find, Thy power and Thine alone, can change a lepers heart and melt a heart of stone.”
“Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain
He Washed it White as Snow!”
Your sacrifice and offering are the vision and focus we need, to bring us joy.
Yes, we choose to abide and dwell in praise and thankfulness. Our countenance is changed to shine Your gentleness.
You remind us, we’re simply passing through. We will look up and sing, and have a washed heart and joy:
“And now before the Throne, I stand in Him completeJesus died my soul to save, my lips shall still repeat,
“Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain
He Washed it White as Snow.“
Praise will change my countenance moment by moment, today!
