Dictations From The Spirit

There’s so much anger; so much hatred;
So much confusion of what is true.
So much suffering and all the loneliness
With no answers of what to do.

You sent Your Son from Your holy throne
Amidst all our sin to make You known.
To show Your heart and Your faithfulness
As a God of love and forgiveness.

You are our Father.
You are our Savior.
You are our Helper.
You are our Friend.

You are our Creator.
You are our Redeemer.
You are our Healer.
Hallelujah, Amen!

We are hurting; drowning in deceit.
Leaves us wondering what to believe.
We think we’re found, but we’re really lost.
We want love but not the cost.

Then there’s Jesus, who paid the price
For our redemption; to be our light.
To show us the way through the storm
And guide us to our eternal home.

You are our Father.
You are our Savior.
You are our Helper.
You are our Friend.

You are our Creator.
You are our Redeemer.
You are our Healer.
Hallelujah, Amen!

Because of what You’ve done
And the love You’ve shown,
You revealed to us
A God Who can be known.

In a darkening world
That seeks to deceive
The notion of Divine truth
That is possible to believe.

A love that takes us as is
Even at our worst.
When You went to the cross,
You saved us from sin’s curse.

Freed us to move forward
New creations in Christ
To feel and know true hope
In forgiveness’ light.

You’re a God who seeks to save
Where darkness cannot abide;
Guides us through the storms
Never leaving our sides.

Help us to do the same
For those you bring to us.
Let them only see
The heart of Jesus.

And see what You’ve done
And the love You’ve shown;
So, they see what we see
A God Who can be known.
A God Who is our home.

Who can say He is the Creator –
The Maker of Heavens and Earth?
Who can offer the kind of water –
That makes us to never again thirst?

Who can say He is good?
For there is no one good but God.
Who else can say He loves us –
And then prove it on a cross?

Who else can make the promise,
“You are forgiven of all your sin?”
Who can look at all our mistakes –
And still want to call us His friend?

Only Jesus can make such claims
For He seeks to save the lost.
Only Jesus can be our Savior
For only He could pay the cost.

Who can say He is for us –
And will never leave our sides?
Who can say in a world of darkness –
That He is the light?

Who can say He is the King –
And then bow and wash our feet?
Who can say He is the judge –
But then offer grace and mercy?

Who can say He is our fortress –
And promise an everlasting peace?
Who can offer priceless hope –
Freely, by asking only to believe?

Only Jesus can make such claims
Which makes Him worthy of our praise.
Hallelujah to the God of love
And to the Lord of amazing grace!

Lord, you know me.
I like knowing where I’m going.
A path that I’ve chosen.
One that I am controlling.

I know that is not Your way.
You have greater things in mind.
With You leading the way
One step at a time.

I struggle with the unknown.
My pride rises masked as fear.
“My love will cast all that out
If you choose to draw near

To Me whose thoughts are higher
And are crafted to refine.
My path for you must be traveled
One step at a time.

For where I’m taking you
Will reveal life changing lessons
That testify to My love
For you as My prized possession.

I know this won’t be easy.
But I’ll be with you at your side.
For the path to restoration
Is taken one step at a time.”

Lord, please forgive me
For when I step back or grumble.
Help me to let You keep the lead
Show me how to be humble.

“All My thoughts towards you
Are for good all the time.
The journey into grace
Is taken one step at a time.

You’ll question My leading
I take no joy in your pain.
What you count as loss now
Will one day be counted as gain.

My will is good and has purpose.
Of this truth you will one day find.
Countless blessings await you
But only revealed one step at a time.

So, be strong and of good courage
For I will never leave your side.
We’ll walk this path together –
Taking it one step at a time.”
