What do you think of when you think of God? More specifically, what thoughts come to mind concerning approaching God in any way?
Does it amaze you that you can approach God at all? It does me let me tell you. How about the fact that we are saved by God, is this not amazing?
There are many who dispute Jesus is God.

Lets face it; the church of today is dying a slow death. Many of us grew up in homes in which we were expected to go to church every Sunday, and attend Sunday school as well.
Years ago faith was a part of life much more so than today. I’m not saying people no longer go to church or that there are no Believers anymore.
To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him.
Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God.
Isaiah 55
1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. 2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. 3 Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. 4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. 5 Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that do not know you will hasten to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.” 6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD’s renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed.”
In the light of His eyes
Worship begins
In the light of His eyes
Praise rises
The Love of One
Love that matters
The Love of One
Love that never fails
His love we live for
His love He gives freely
His love compares to no other
His love is true
Precious and great
For worship are we made
Worship is our great privilege
Worship of One
Worship of the One who holds life
On my knees to worship Him
To worship my Lord
To praise Him who made me
To lift up the Name
He reigns righteous and true
He resides high above
High in the heavens
Seated on a throne
A throne of glory
He sees all
Yet loves us still
He reigns on high
Yet softens His heart towards us
Riches I would give
Things would I leave
His love is worth more then these
Come to worship
Come to love
Come to Him
This is really different for me, not the poetic writing; trying to anyway. What is different is that I wrote this while listening to worship music from several different people. Check it out and tell me what you think! If you have not heard the MercyMe song at the end, give it a listen.
You are the One Messiah
The living and true God
The One and Only
No matter my wandering, no matter my pain
No matter my confusion or misunderstanding
No matter any circumstance, you are the One
The church attended is of no consequence
The faith chosen inconsequential
The mode of worship unimportant
Loving the Creator, hands raised in worship…this is important
Hallelujah Jesus reigns
Hallelujah Jesus is the One
Hallelujah the One is risen and He reigns
The One Messiah is true
The Christ is He
Blessed are we to know
He calls in the dark
He offers a way
The path is paved
Steps directed by the One…who went before
We are called into the light
The blessed Messiah calls us into the Light; He is the Light
The One offers the Way
The Truth is in His hand
He lights the way with His Word
The One and Only
No one else compares, no one dares
He is our Light in the dark
He is love to our brokenness
He is a refuge to our wounded souls
Our bastion of completeness
Hallelujah He reigns
All will bow at His Great Name
Hallelujah, grace mercy and peace abound in Him
Praise His Name all you people
Praise His great Name all you who are His
The Redeemer lives
The Lamb is victorious
The sacrifice has been made
Evil is defeated
God has won
Praise to the Lord who leads us
We worship your great Name
The One Messiah reigns over all
Hallelujah…
MercyMe
You Are I AM
I’ve been the one to shake with fear
And wonder if You’re even here
I’ve been the one to doubt Your love
I’ve told myself You’re not enough
I’ve been the one to try and say
I’ll overcome by my own strength
I’ve been the one to fall apart
And to start to question who You are
You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am
I’ve been the one held down in chains
Beneath the weight of all my shame
I’ve been the one to believe
That where I am You cannot reach
You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am
The veil is torn
And now I live with the Spirit inside
The same one, the very same one
who brought the Son back to life
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am
The pain in the world, it threatens to overwhelm me
The anguish contained within, it burns deeply at times
I look upon the world, and despair of what I see
A look will tell, a thought confirm, seeds of disquiet are mine
Suffering is part of a fallen world
There are no easy paths to walk
Horrors abound in the world of the prince of the air
He is not good, no not even fair
The evil one cares for you not
Satan is his name lies are his game
I see the injustice and wrongs
I feel the despair and pain
I see a world so lost; seemingly without a care
The world tramples it’s own
People destroy one another for gain
Money is king, possessions queen
Pain and suffering a commodity
Grief is only for the weak at heart
How I long for the end
The end of this life; that the real life may begin
That suffering will end, forever to be banished
Misery will be no more; injustice will be vanquished
If you live in this world, you will suffer
If you follow Christ, you will suffer
If you follow the world you will suffer with no hope
If you follow the world you will lose all in the end
If you follow Christ you will suffer, but the Hope of the world will keep His arms around you
If you follow Christ you will inherit all things
The world is fallen, sick and ugly, devoid of any hope
Hope is however with us yet
Accept not the disbelief of the masses
Accept the divine hope stored up for you
Hope is here, Hope is Jesus
Hold onto this Hope
Trust in this Hope
Hope will set us free from all
Hope will bring the victory
Hope has a name, Jesus
Trust in Jesus, the Hope of life eternal without suffering
Trust in Jesus to walk along side you
Jesus…always cares and never leaves
Casting Crowns: Wedding
There’s a stirring in the throne room
And all creation holds it’s breath
Waiting now to see the bride groom
Wondering how the bride will dress
And she wears white
And she knows that she’s undeserving
She bears the shame of history
With this worn and weary maiden
Is not the bride that he sees
And she wears white, head to toe
But only he could make it so
When someone dries your tears
When someone wins your heart
And says your beautiful
When you don’t know you are
And all you’ve longed to see
Is written on his face
When love has come and finally set you free
On that wedding day
On that wedding day
She has danced in golden castles
And she has crawled through beggar’s dust
But today she stands before him
And she wears his righteousness
And she will be who he adores
And this is what he made her for
When the hand that bears the only scars
In heaven touch her face
And the last tears she’ll ever cry
Are finally wiped away
And the clouds roll back as he takes her hand
And walks her through the gates
Forever we will reign
