POEMS
FROM LYN

Jesus came to us in our time of need

BEING SOMEONE WE'RE NOT

We need to stop trying to be someone we're not
And be thankful to Father for the gifts we've got
Stop vying with others for places of power
Its about humility in the hour

Titles don't matter don't matter at all
What matters is that we answer God's call
All he wants is for us to love him
For us to surrender and confess our sin

He loves us so and wants us to be
Everything He's called us to be
His children who give him worship and praise
To not follow man but to follow His ways

God's ways are easy
If we open our eyes
It's all about truth
It's not about lies

God is love
Don't you see
He wants us to love
You and Me

Its not about title or places of power
It's about love and humility in this hour

FEAR IN YOUR EYES

Don't come to me with fear in your eyes
Fear that one day you're going to die
I died that you would have no fear
That you would live with me all of your years

Come to me child with love in your eyes
Come to me and I'll cause you to rise
Rise up on wings of an eagle on high
Rise up in spirit rise into the sky

In me you are safe and I love you so
In me you are healed … in me you grow
Into my image is the promise you're given
Chosen, saved, beloved you're forgiven

So why would you come with fear in your eyes
Fear that one day you're going to die
Come to me child 'cause you want to be there
Come with passion for me and want to declare

That I am the way the truth and the life
Nothing separates us no danger or strife
There's no need to come with fear in your eyes
For you know I love you that's no surprise

Child soak in my presence … rest in my arms
That's where you're safe from all that can harm
Nothing separates us don't you see
We're together for all time … eternity!

IT'S TIME TO SEE THE LIES

It's time to see what the enemy's done
It's time to see his lies
It's time to see our Fathers heart
Not something that's disguised

The enemy our deceiver
He tries to hide the truth
He's trying oh so desperately
But it's really of no use

Because Jesus has the victory
The battle of life he won
The enemy wants us to believe his lies
Not the truth of the Holy One

He wants us to believe we're worthless
Ugly unloved and more
He will use others to taunt us
And to make us feel so small

We begin to believe his wicked lies
And live to that accord
Instead of knowing we're precious
As it tells us in God's word

Satan hates us with a passion
He will catch us in his snare
But Jesus is our victory
And we don't need to be there

Oh how much he loves us
He died to set us free
He died to give us liberty
Even you and me

He wants us to feel special
Because we are to him
He loves to just embrace us
To let him live within

No matter what the enemy's done
To make us feel disgraced
Jesus loves us far beyond words
He wants us to seek his face

SHINE HIS LIGHT

Shine His light to others
No matter the cost
Shine His light to others
The hurting, lonely and lost

Shine His light into darkness
Show them Jesus is real
Show them love, mercy and grace
Don't let the enemy steal

Snatch them out of the fire
Snatch them out of the snare
Draw them to God's secret place
They will find safety there

The harvest is ready
The harvest is ripe
Reach out your hand
Shine Jesus' light

Shine His light to others
No matter the cost
Shine His light to others
The hurting, lonely and lost

"But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says 'When he ascended on high he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men'" (Ephesians 4:7-8).

ABOUT JESUS ... ABOUT GRACE

It's all about Jesus
It's all about grace
It's all about using the gifts father gave

Are we reaching to those who are lost?
Or do we hesitate … counting the cost?
Are we loving to others?
Are we tending the sheep?
Are we spreading the gospel
To all those who seek?

Or do we sit on our seat day by day
Listening to what other people say?
Do we feel we're unable to spread "the word"?
Do we think we're not fit … not fit to be heard?

God says we're able … by His strength we can
We're only unable when we follow man
God gave us good gifts to use on our way
When we follow Him … when we worship and pray
