Tomorrow Can See

Here in the Gift
is a newness that breaks
known as God’s Calling,
in the Dawn of His wake.

Burdens born then,
come round to the fore,
lifted like children they’ve
gone through the Door.

Here in all hearts
are the rooms, coming more-
Altars that pray,
they worship, they pour.

Tomorrow can see,
Love will be throughout time.
Given, our living,
forever, as Thine.

Lord Have Mercy; a Mother’s Prayer

Lord have mercy,
Live on past me.
Come into the hearts of my children, Lord.
Drawn them in to find you and see.

Lord have mercy,
Live on past me.
Come into the lives of my own, those dear-
Born from my start then apart, these hearts;
Oh Lord give them Your adore, this I implore.

Lord have mercy.
Live on past me.
Take them as Yours full into your grasp.
Bind this my all, these my children, I ask.
Come into their hearts with a fullness, all parts.
This, they belong, we all ask, we all grasp.
Lord, please have mercy,
From the first to the last.

Prayer “We Fall Lovingly Forwards To You”

Father, Almighty God,

We look to you for all hope and with every part of our hearts.
We submit to your sovereignty and pray that our calling is filled with
the devotion of ones that run to the one that has filled them with blessings
and poured out the Spirit of His own son upon them.

We fall lovingly forward towards you, Lord
with gratitude for all that you have poured out upon us.
Our hearts open like vestibules that are thirsty to drink in your Spirit.
We leave behind anything that would hinder its entry.

Pour, Godly Good so that we can be refreshed by your comfort
and know the sweetness of your love throughout,
Help us each to put all hope in you and in you alone.
Increase our trust in the Eternal
and loosen our grip on the temporal

Father, we are yours, called by you and known by you
Help us, by the power of your Spirit,
to walk boldly forward with courage.
Let us dare to make choices that glorify you and not our own needs;
to live to see your Kingdom reign on earth and not our worldly wants;
to walk in the ways of your righteousness and not our own.

Lord, Almighty,
May we learn to join the chorus of joy that prevails and be witnesses to your Glory.
In Jesus Name,

Amen
