Quiet Time Rhymes

August 2, 2023

I cannot earn the grace of God,
Just humbly bow, receive.
I cannot walk where others trod,
But pray that they believe.

It’s God who looks and sees within,
That job’s not up to me.
God’s Son came down, died for my sin,
And now my soul’s set free.

I praise the Lord, His love and grace
With all my heart and soul.
One day I’ll see Him face to face,
The One who made me whole.

There’s more to life than time on earth,
Set free beyond the grave.
I’ll know in full my second birth,
Praise God I’m free, I’m saved.

I praise You Lord, God’s only Son.
You gave Your life, the battle’s won.

So hard to lose someone we know,
To loose our grip and let them go.
We know the Lord is in control,
Our heart still breaks, so sad our soul.

They say that time will ease the pain,
Yet tears still flow and cheeks still stain.
Perhaps in weeks and months to come,
As aching hearts are mending some,

There will be found more sunny days,
Perhaps adapt to this new phase.
I pray for comfort, love, and hope,
Time to adjust to learn to cope.

It’s hard to lose the ones we love
When they go home to God above.

I start this day dear Lord in prayer.
I pray for all in need of hope,
For all who suffer in despair.
I pray for strength that they may cope.

I pray for those now deep in grief,
Lord help them know Your rest, Your peace.
I pray in You they find relief,
Your love, oh Lord, will never cease.

May they reach out, find hope brand new.
Lord touch their hearts, may hope arise,
A hope that’s only found in You,
To soar like eagles through the skies.

I pray this simple heart felt prayer
Helps others know Your love, Your care.

(Inspired by Isaiah 26:3-4)

The page is blank it’s mine to fill.
I pause to probe, to read, to write.
The gentle breeze, the quiet still,
A quiet time when all is right.

However brief that time may be
To pause, reflect, reach in my heart,
Lord rest my soul and set it free.
Each day I have a brand-new start.

I trust in You, my solid rock.
You still my soul and bring me peace.
Your door is open, never locked,
Eternal love will never cease.

I keep my mind, my thoughts on You,
You bring me peace the whole day through.

To the One who created the one I call me,
Who formed the whole universe, all that I see,
I’m humbled You formed me and made me unique.
It’s Your love and affection that daily I seek.

I’m amazed that in all of the centuries past,
Once I was formed and the die had been cast,
There has never, nor will be, another the same.
You knew me and shaped me before I was named.

I pray that I find all the treasures inside.
They were given to use not to hoard or to hide.
I pray I use well in my time on this earth
The gifts and the talents You gave me at birth.

I’ll never know fully the depths of your love
Until I am with You in heaven above.

Through the chaos that life often brings me each day,
I trust in the Lord, He will show me the way.
Although I may tremble, I stand on firm ground.
The Lord is my rock that is stable and sound.

He’s the source of all wisdom, brings peace to my soul.
He’s the One I can trust, and in Him I’m made whole.
He gives me perspective beyond just today.
When I’m walking by faith, I just trust and obey.

God holds my future, it’s in His control.
I trust Him to guide me as each day unfolds.
Each day that I’m walking and holding His hand,
I pray I have faith, that I trust in His plan.

Lord grant me the faith and the wisdom to see
The pathway to follow prepared just for me.

No matter what may come my way,
What troubles I endure,
My firm foundation will not sway,
My destiny’s secure.

My soul’s not bound to time on earth,
There’s life beyond my death.
This current phase began at birth,
Will end at my last breath.

It’s then my life beyond the veil
In streets of gold begins.
What I know now is dim and pale,
God’s glory never ends.

I’ll be with Him eternally,
My soul will be set free.
