SPIRITUAL BLAHS Mk 8:1-21

SPIRITUAL BLAHS Mk 8:1-21

Jesus taught by word and action
Demonstrating what the Father wanted
Showing how the Father cared
He was Lord and had great compassion for the people

Feeding 4,000 with seven loaves of bread
His disciples passed out the food
Seven baskets of leftovers
The Father had blessed the bread with plenty

Jesus is always enough
Whatever you are facing
Jesus is enough
He will meet your needs

Pharisees demanded a sign
Jesus was more than enough
He was God’s sign
The Lord would forgive our sin making us part of His family

Even then the disciples were in the dark
They didn’t catch His message
Jesus spread His light
Beware of the ways of the world-it will infect you, sideline you, overwhelm your heart

Open your eyes-God is calling you
Believe by faith and the Lord will partner with you
Soften your heart- there is much to do
When you are down – remember what the Lord has done for you

MY SIGHT – MT 7:14

MY SIGHT – MT. 7:4

I grasp the images of my youth

Pain and evil swirling round

Knowing all the while it’s through

I’m rid of you

 

Yet I hang on to those images

Viewing again and again

As a vacant tooth cries for a searching tongue

I seek out those things that hurt me

 

At the same time I criticize you

Do this; don’t do that

This is how you should be living

Oh God how can I be so blind?

 

Daily I’m bombarded with images

My eyes the windows of my soul

Lord if I can’t control old images

How will I deal with each day?

 

Trauma of any type

Burns images in our soul

Desperate to be whole

Lord cleanse me from evil

 

These images lie to us

Claiming we are this way

I know who I am, Jesus has cut me free

His precious blood cleanses me

 

Open my eyes Lord that I might see you

Give me release from these images controlling me

Help me see myself through Jesus eyes

That I might be a servant to those around me

 

Slowly slowly I am freed

Jesus has a hold on me, I have a hold on Him

My vision for God sharpens, I know Him better

I see YOU Lord; More of You; Less of me; Jesus is Lord

GOOD MORNING LORD

Give ear; give ear to my words Lord
I’m in trouble; life has caught me in a bind
I need your fullest attention; I love you Lord
My trouble is gnawing at my soul; help me

You are the only ONE Lord; there is no other
As I cry out to you; I’m mindful of my needs
Let me recite them to YOU; I know you are listening
My heart is right; I am innocent in this fiasco

Lord the lawless and wicked are attacking me; they are acting the fool
I know that the foolish will not stand; I trust in your power Lord
Nothing gets by You; they have no claim against me
You abhor the deceitful; they have no future; my future is with you

Lead me Lord in your righteousness
Protect me from the evil schemers and their schemes
I do not want revenge; surround me with Your favor
You are my shield and protection, I belong to you Lord

Oh Lord I am grateful; thank you for listening to me
I know I am heard; I know You care
Your love is my life; Your blessings are innumerable
Bless the name of the Lord; You O Lord are my God

WE LIVE

Clay Corvin

We live our life
A cultural mess
Convinced of glory
Reality confessed

Truth deflates
The lies we tell
Serious lives
Going to Hell

Seldom filled with God’s desires
We walk our streets
With hearts afire
Searching searching searching

A vague unrest
We’re off the track
Has God said
My life’s a wreck

Help me claim the life God gives
Obedience, wisdom, mercy, grace
Jesus lives in me
Seeking to set me free

This is the day the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
I trust the Lord my soul to keep
Depart from me angst, joy claim my life

THE WALLS

February 9, 2015
Clay Corvin

Standing on Jerusalem’s walls
I see the world walking by

Ancient Egypt conquered
Slaying, persecuting, destroying
A vast empire for thousands of years
God delivered and the walls still stand

Babylon came, they cursed and screamed
We’re gonna bury you
The walls witnessed
God’s hand of judgment, Babylon disappeared

Philistia persecuted Saul and David
Bringing Israel to its knees again and again
An evil people who discounted God
Their hand was weak, the walls still stand

Ethiopia sent soldiers to all
Many died scaling God’s walls
Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem
Your walls still stand

The Romans came crucifying Jesus
They tore down God’s wall
Jesus rebuilt it
Now we stand and see the world
Jesus is Lord, Lord of all

WHO

February 7, 2015
Clay Corvin
General

God came to Earth; to Israel His chosen
He sent prophets, priests and kings
No one followed the Lord; caught up in tradition they had God in a box
The people were wandering in darkness and they did not know the Lord

Jesus came teaching, preaching, healing and proclaiming the Good News
You are not at the mercy of the world; the Lord has heard you and is here
Poverty exercised a strident call, greed and avarice by all; COME Jesus said
Come to me and I will give you rest; come to me and I will equip you to live

Their leaders blocked their way; many came but few followed
Hating HIM the leaders put Him on a cross; He was dead
ON the third day the Lord God raised Jesus from the dead
He is now seated at the right hand of the Father; interceding for you and me

Now at the mercy of God; they had a choice-follow God or man
You have that choice; Jesus says there is no other way to the Father
Jesus is the only way; Lord of all and Savior; ask Him in your heart
He will save you; Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no other way to the father

Our God is a good God, He is merciful and long suffering
One day this will come to an end; Jesus is coming back
IN that day God will act swiftly; no longer time to repent, no longer time to be saved
That day will be judgment; Who will you follow? Do it now. Follow the Lord.

YOU MADE A WAY PSALM 77

February 7, 2015
Clay Corvin
General

In the pain of my dilemma, YOU made a way
Nothing is too hard for God; He loves you
The disappointment, the trials
Harsh discoveries, evil afoot
It is impossible and yet YOU made a way

No one sees your footprints
Doubters proclaim your absence
In my distress YOU touched my arm
My heart was swayed; impossibility disappears
YOU are the ONE; I believe – Lord help me

As night turns to light, YOU made a way
YOU led me in my heartache; so desperate to succeed
Listening to me as I cried aloud all my needs
The way ahead seems forever; no solution on the horizon
Then out of the dark YOUR way appears, YOU led me

My path was simple and quick
What seemed a lifetime away was suddenly at hand
The Lord God has intervened; impossibility smashed
His way, His solution to what the world declared defeat
Victory, in the face of tragedy, YOU made a way

THE GODLY MAN – PSALM 1

February 5, 2015
Clay Corvin

THE GODLY MAN – PSALM 1

Don’t walk on the wild side, evil commands each day
Nor stand with sinners, irreverent-hard hearted-don’t play

Sitting down with sly men, committed to selfish sin
Only causes failure, for a man trying to win

Focus your mind on God, He is worthy of every thought
His law brings wisdom, mercy and grace; His Word changes your heart

Think on these things; let them marinate your soul
The Lord is with you; He will not let you go

As evil ebbs and flows you will stand; storms will not get the upper hand
Your life will be fruitful; everything you turn yourself to will grow

Not so the wicked, there is a day of death
Everything they’ve worked for will blow away like chaff

Judgment will destroy the wicked, God will not let them off
Their way will perish, disappear, no longer will they hold sway

The wicked are headed to a mean and evil existence, perdition, hell, apart from God
The Godly man has Jesus as His Lord, Christ is God’s everything and He is for you

WHERE YOU FROM?

WHERE YOU FROM?
Where you from? Have you won? Are you hurting?
Life humdrum? Victory none? Where you from?

Do you care? Can we go there? Thank you I’m done
Hurting, blue, discontinued, another anxious day. Do you care?

Help me? Tit for Tat. Mine for that
I need someone to listen to me. It’s a war in my soul. Help me?

Future home. A place without hope. A life with no glow.
Drugs shield me. Addiction my way out-death. Future home

Who can help? Who can heal? Nothing can fix me.
Jesus? Real? If you are there I’m willing. Who can help?

Change came. Heart claimed. A step. Another step.
Christ owns me. Hope. A sliver of light. Change came.

FEAR STALKS ME

January 25, 2015

FEAR STALKS ME

Fear stalks me; it chills my spine
Everyone I know; thinks I’m fine
I can’t tell them; the abuse and pain
Nothing frees me; the world turns its back on me
I don’t count; fear stalks me

Fear stalks me; childhood a sad blur
Heartless days; nights that wandered eternally
What can I do?; nothing to lose
I’ve dreamed; all dashed by reality
Failure is my quest; fear stalks me

Fear stalks me; no job, no hope
Nothing works; streets call out my name
Heartache and pain; the cold destroys
Tomorrow the same as today; each day worse
Hate and drugs the only change; fear stalks me

Fear stalks me; I live my life so badly
Inane and cruel; nothing to admire
Bored with living; what is the use
Trash and helplessness; drugs my only relief
Even my dreams despise me; fear stalks me

Hope calls my name; He said I count
He died on a cross; To prove His love for me
No one else ever cared; He came to me with life and light
I can see; Jesus loves me
No longer alone; Christ is my home
He changed me; A new heart; A new life
I have everything I need in Jesus; Fear no longer stalks me
