God wants full custody, not just a weekend visit.
From Jeremiah 7:2: “Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the Word of the Lord, all you people of Judah, you that enter the gates to worship the Lord.”

From Psalm 16:11: “You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
God dwells on a Holy hill
Pursuing those hungry, for His will
Away from God, we are forlorn
Seeking refuge, asking to be reborn
Our Lord is a most Holy God
Bringing blessings and love, He nods
He brings delight, for another week
Filling cups with refreshment, we seek
At night, He calms our hearts
Giving wise counsel, new day starts
God remains near, always beside us
Walking patiently, without a big fuss
He stays close, offering His hand
Facing our challenges, across this land
God fills hearts, with joyful gladness
We sing and rejoice, without sadness
Our prayers seek a willing ear
Finding a Holy God, without fear
Our footing will never slip away
Walking a safe path, God’s way
God hears our words and prayers
Sending answers, because He truly cares
Under the shadow of God’s wings
Protecting us, safe refuge He brings

From Psalm 51:3: “For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.”
Lost soul in the wickedest valleys of life
Needing directions, take away this strife
Life’s transgressions mount, God knows them all
Living a life of denial, witnessing an arrogant fall
Every day takes one deeper and deeper into sin
Losing awareness, asking where have we been?
When born, God knows our sinful ways
Needing God to teach wisdom each day
Life continues to carry us on the very same road
Walking and falling, becomes frustrating and cold
God delivers His judgement, He feels justified
Viewing our sin-filled cravings, never satisfied
Life’s journey demands we find a different route
Using God’s compass, His directions carry clout
God brings deliverance, a better means to live
Declaring praise to our Lord, offerings to give
Another wayward life takes a detour from the Pit
Cleansing of sin, God’s road creates a better fit
God teaches an upright way, follow and trust
Purging all evil, washing white our sinful lust
God’s steadfast love delivers a redeeming route
Hearing God’s joy, His compass brings us about

Like deer at a flowing stream
I wake thirsty from a dream
Tears feed me, night and day
“Where is your God?” people say
My spirit is cast down low
God’s faithful, trusty love, He shows
Nightly, Psalms sing to my heart
Praying for my life to restart
My flesh cries out in thirst
God’s love will always arrive first
In the middle of dry land
His love extends from His hand
Sometimes life brings bitterness to drink
Thirsty like parched land, I think
The Gospel brings forward good news
Living water quenches, like morning dew
The Enemy taunts me once more
“Where is your God?” he implores
He has left and forsaken you
Your tiny life should be through
Glory of God fills the streams
Desert sands become pools, no dream
Grass thickens across the vast plains
Springs arise, thirst never to wane
Jesus, the Lamb, shepherds me now
Providing living water, kneel and bow
Come, take this water of life
Receiving God’s grace, without any strife
Waking in the darkness of night
Thirsty for God’s message of might
Making water flow from a stone
Split open by God’s blessed tone
The Enemy’s spirit no longer swarms
Thirst for righteousness, defeats any storms
All who thirst, seek God’s altar
Holy Spirit’s living water, never falters

We count on God’s mercy for our past mistakes; we count on God’s love for our present needs; but we count on God’s sovereignty for the future.
From James 4:8: Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.
From Psalm 112:7: “They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord.”

Life feels upside down
Angry with fists clenched
Barking back at God
You have forsaken me
Please, please my Lord
Don’t push me away
Heart fills with courage
Waiting for my God
Look around to witness
Patience comes to many
Those immersed in faith
Righteous saints never forsaken
God asks for perseverance
More to one’s life
Than just plain enduring
Bring me staying power
God is my stronghold
In times of distress
For those seeking him
God will never forsake
God always walks ahead
He was with Moses
He’ll be with you
Never to forsake you
Ask for God’s protection
Through faithful, fervent prayer
God’s justice will return
Never, ever be forsaken
Open hands, open arms
Looking up toward God
Submitting to my Lord
Never to be forsaken

From the beginning of time
God’s creation changes each day
This eternal blueprint conveys mastery
His design takes center stage
His earthly canvas presents wonder
Artistic palette of colors astonish
His imaginative mind never ceases
Earth’s treasures continue to impress
Traveling around this awesome planet
Breathtaking venues await our call
Majestic mountains loom high above
Immense beauty reaches the clouds
Rolling plains shine with beauty
Grasslands thick with green tapestry
Swift rivers travel for months
Mountain-fed water reaches blue seas
Dense forests blanket the terrain
Trees of every description stand
Endless oceans bombard distant shores
Continuous tides frolic with beaches
Wide canyons stretch above rivers
Featuring amazing sculptures and hue
Desert sands infinitely scatter themselves
Continually sifting from God-inspired winds
Days launch with illuminating sunrises
Nights commence when the moon rises
God continues molding and shaping
Praise His incredible creation forevermore
