Dan is a problem
Evil was its priest
Led foolish people
By their sanity

They never saw Him
Cared less for God
All they ever wanted
Was to be in charge

Set me free Lord
To worship You
Wisdom guides me
To kneel before You

The only things I own
Are what I’ve given away
Help me sow my life
The Holy Spirit way

I know you’ve called me
I hear you each day
I need strength to serve You
To be Yours today

Open up my heart Lord
Work thru me
Reaching out to people
So they can be free

Look and see
The Galilee
Jesus home
Here He roamed
Healing folks

Hear His words
Setting free
Pigs destroyed
People freed
Evil flees
The Gospel is told

Touch it
This place exists
Walk where He walked
Listen to His words
He is alive

Wake up
Your must tell
Jesus in you
Evil dispelled
You are free
Tell all you see

God used pagans
To recover His scrolls
Hidden for centuries
Their story untold
Covered by the desert
Nature did His work

Scrolls galore
A dead hand response
Did God say?
Testified yea
What can the world say?
They don’t believe it’s true

Qumran exists
Through hermits and a twist
So many came along
Till those thrown small stones
And then the world could see
His Word lives on its own

Faith is such a fragile thread
Given for our day
Helping us find the way
To His divine home
And not be overwhelmed
The world is not our home

I see that hand
Do you believe?
Christ really came
You can have His name
Give Him your pain
Read what His Word says

Ein Gedi, fountain of the wild goat
David’s place of refuge
Saul came with hope
Could he thwart God’s plan

Look at the night sky
The moon on the sea
A land locked oasis
Beckoning to me

Come aside-relax
Spend some time in prayer
Don’t forget the troubles
This wilderness could bear

Thirty miles to Jerusalem
Judea in between
Not a place for weakness
Strength was its acclaim

Always a respite
Before an assault
Lulling those of evil
The Lord was still boss

Remember as we journey
Don’t forget the springs
Often in the desert
The oasis is the king

Use your time with Jesus
To become God’s spring
You be the oasis
For those without a dream

Out of sight of Jerusalem
Arad built its hold
Over minds of Israelis
Fashioned by evils cold

A thin veneer of proper
Developed by pagan priests
This place of Moses action
Was destroying God’s peace

Active on the edges
Coming out of the hills
Far enough away
For the king to forgive

Lulled into evil
Practicing man’s cult
Arad was evil’s companion
Destroying God’s love

Pulling at the garment
Fashioned by the Word
Claiming all the wealth
God’s people deserved

Just a little slippage
Not a major slight
Arad will soon destroy
The key to Israel’s might

Not unlike us Christians
Who are our friends?
When we live in two worlds
Our strength will surely end

Moving up the highway
The road pilgrims trod
Heading to Jerusalem
The city of God

A place of many evils
Stonings and worse
Jesus went to see them
In the House of God

They ignored the Christ Child
They ridiculed the Son
Then they rigged the jury
And murdered God’s Son

It’s a long way to eternity
Every road goes through Christ
He died in Jerusalem
God’s strength gave Him new life

Raised to always conquer
Jesus cleanses us from sin
The Son is on my agenda
I’m going to see Him

The pilgrims road is littered
With heartaches and fear
So hard for man to trust Him
Belief is seldom dear

I know whom I’ve believed
I know who holds me
I’m going to Jerusalem
To rejoice with the King

Kind and gentle spirit
His heart one with God
Letting Jesus lead him
No presumption, no façade, just a man of God

Loving husband
Faithful parent
Courageous for his kids
Shaping how they live
By the way he lives

A man with the gift of giving
He gives from his heart
Bending the knee to Jesus
Obedient from the start

He lives in Christ’s presence
Always smells of God
His heart displays the evidence
Rick is ruled by God

Many days of trouble
Many grief’s to bear
Jesus joy heals him
The Lord is always there

Rick is a soldier
Part of Christ’s Elite
Standing on the front lines
Satan in defeat

Serving every moment
Representing Christ
Always caring for others
Living a Godly life
He is my friend

We are not consumers
Of religious juke and jive
The priesthood is to encourage
And help us give our lives

En Harod is peaceful
Streams from the mount
But once the Lord came calling
Gideon was announced

Just an ordinary person
Not especially skilled
All his gifts were given
Gideon fought for the Lord

Now mister preacher
Are you as weak as he?
Do you think your sin is small?
Only Jesus can set you free

Speak the words of wisdom
Gideon knew them well
The Lord of all creation
Can use you to tell

Tell them of His presence
Encourage them to grow
Call them to the Father
So that they will know

Know the Lord of Glory
Know the Prince of peace
Be equipped to see Him
Making life complete

Just me
That’s all I’ll ever be
Unknown and simple
Yet I’ve bent my knee

Given up my weakness
Christ is in my heart
Working daily on His plan
My hands and feet and soul

Often complaining
Fear sometimes calls
Faith is my connection
The Lord is in control

I am just a servant
His rule is my command
Praising all His greatness
I serve the King of the land

Victory parallels my journey
Failure my only claim
Each day life comes walking
I claim it in Jesus name

Who am I to stumble?
Christ is walking me
Only when I fumble
In daily time with thee

Lift me up in wisdom
Fill my lungs with strength
Let me live encouraged
Christ is living in me

Faith functions
By your word
Not as the world
On things they see

It comes from Your heart
Helping me restart
When things are confused
It’s time to renew

Seeing through a glass darkly
Requires that I look
Lovingly and intently
At Your heart

I didn’t do it
I can’t create it
But I can follow as You work
And bend my knee in love

Put me on the right track
Lift me on Your back
Or take me there
So I will care

About the things You love
People count with You
Help me see
The faith You send to me
