Wandering Thoughts

“The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD;
he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases” (Prov. 21:1).

If your thoughts wander during your prayer time, instead of trying to force them back into your pre-set agenda, try following them. Perhaps the Lord has another agenda.

(Jennifer Kennedy Dean)

For Me

For Me

It was for me
He took on the time and space constraints of earth
Let a veil of flesh conceal His worth
Set redemption’s plan in motion with His birth
It was for me

It was for me
He gave up His flesh, an offering for my sin
Let God’s wrath toward me be spent on Him
Poured out His Life so my life could begin
It was for me

It was for me
He threw off the time and space constraints of earth
Shed His veil of flesh, revealed His worth
Opened up for me the way to Spirit-birth
It was for me
