Are You in Tune?

I know these words are not my own
I’m amazed by the Father’s hand
Carrying my pen across the page
Allowing me to help us both understand

The meaning of life and why we were born
Is to carry the torch of our faith
To our brothers and sisters caught up in the storms
Of life and Liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Yes, our struggles will continue
When we think we know what’s best
We say that we pray…but do we get down on our knees
Before asking The Father to fulfill or needs?

We shoot bullet prayers often… straight up to the sky
We talk to God while driving in the car
But when was the last time we fell before His throne
Instead of just wishing on His stars

We question, we ponder, how do we know when He answers our prayers?
Do we think we should get a vision or a sign?
When His answer comes you’ll know deep down in your gut
Not just at the corners of your mind

There are times we believe we’ve received answered prayer
Maybe regarding a relationship, a problem or a job?
Only to find our signals got crossed and
We must change the channel, turn the page…twist the knob

To get on the right frequency to receive His Word
And continually make the right choice
So we don’t get mixed signals we must kneel when we pray
To stay in tune with The Father’s voice

Hiding Place

Bless me with Your peace Lord God
Calm my anxious heart

Spare me from going down to the pit
For up from the grave You brought

All those who believe in Your name
Those who put their trust in You

Protect me from trouble, deliver me
For my hiding place is in You

Yes! The eyes of The Lord are on the righteous
His ears are attentive to our cry

The face of The Lord is against those who do evil
He will cut off the memory of them when we die

The Lord stands close to the brokenhearted
He saves those whose spirits are crushed

All of His laws are meant for good
His precepts are always just

So we stand in faith and acknowledge You, Lord
For You are The King of Kings

Master, Jehovah, Mighty God
Holy One, creator of all things

Yes! You O’ God are my refuge, my strength
I forever put my trust in You

Protect me, deliver me, keep me safe
For my hiding place is in You
