A Walk to Remember

My Jesus... I remember.

I remember the depths from which I came, redemption from life so dark.

I remember the weight of chains now broken, in bondage no more.

I remember the lonely wandering in the shadows, as now my soul finds relief in sweet communion with You. Walking in the Light, never alone again.

I remember Your rescue, Your mighty work in my life. I remember the miracles You have performed on my behalf. I remember Your comfort, Your embrace of security. Your words, the breath of Life.

You are my Great Redeemer - of my soul for eternity, of the life I live now on this earth.

Not only do I remember, but to keep You near, walk with You daily, I speak of what You have done. I share Your story, Your redemption of me. I seek transparency of soul that all may look through me and see only Your magnificent glory, that they too might have hope- knowing what is possible through You.

I walk my path of rememberings... lest I ever forget. And if that should happen I pray others will remember for me, and remind me of all You have done, that I would be brought back into sweet communion with You. My Mighty Savior, My Rock of Salvation, My Great Deliverer.

"Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. Remember the wonders He has done, His miracles..." (Ps 105:1-5)

My Jesus ~ I remember, I remember, I remember.

Surrendered

O to live a life surrendered
To rid my heart of that which hinders
From all this pain and calloused soul
From life's injustice and wounding's hold
To dig down deep and peel away
All hidden secrets all layers of shame
To break away from all that binds
Shed desires that aren't Divine
To surrender all but trust in You
Open up let life renew
To run with freedom flowing down
Wear joyous Love as glorious crown
To uplift my face with humble praise
Seek Your grace all my days
O to live a life surrendered
Walk unchained, unbound, unhindered
To live the price of Calvary,
A child of God ~ bought, but free.


Abba, Father, sometimes my prayers find their voice best poured out in poem. May this be lifted up to You today that You would continue to complete in me that which you began. Thank you for never surrendering me, as I seek to surrender all to You.
