I’m learning how to spend time with the Lord.

Beginning to believe not how I feel.

But trusting in the Lord’s accomplishments

His sovereignty. (Proclaim: “Yes

Lord

I see“)

Why are you still defeated

little one?

As if I’m not the all-inclusive One.

Believing that I am

just look away

Away to Me.

We certainly will fail time after time.

At times we’re too ashamed to turn again

Just stop and breathe yourself out on the Lord

And breathe Him in. (Proclaim: “Oh

Lord!“)

When there’s no rest in me

He is my rest.

When there’s no peace around

His peace is best.

We know Him through His word

the Spirit brings

Reality.

Present your body

in His presence stay.

He’s faithful and adept all to arrange.

He’s writing His own history today

Give Him the way. (Proclaim: “Lord

today!“)

He’s always there to give us what we need.

Our oldness turns to newness—He’s the Spring!

He turns our deadness to enlivening

By dispensing.

So put your introspective mind at ease

He calls us

“Look away and feast with Me!”

Don’t try to analyze so many things.

Love and believe. (Proclaim: “Yes

we believe!“)

So call on Him

your open spirit bring

Not busy with so many outward deeds.

His Body’s rich supply and covering

Will guard our being.

Don’t be afraid to give yourself to Him.

Remaining whole and guarded

we miss Him.

The Body’s life supply the members bring

While opening. (Proclaim: “We open

Lord!“)

I need the other members; they need me.

We take the loving way excellingly.

His love is the unique enduring thing

To make us Him.
