New Creation

In Christ, we are a new creation,
Gone are the old, sinful temptations.
A life of righteousness begins,
With holiness, our hearts He wins.


In every trial, in every storm, Jesus is there, His love keeps us warm. He holds our hand, He calms our fears, His presence wipes away our tears. When life’s waves crash and winds blow strong, In His embrace, we find our song. He is our comfort, our guiding light, In darkest hours, He shines so bright.

Trust in His power, His sovereign grace, In every challenge, seek His face. Storms may test and faith may strain, But in His strength, we rise again. Rely on Jesus, His steady hand, In His care, we firmly stand. No matter how turbulent the sea, With Jesus, we are truly free.

Renewed in faith, we grow each day, In service, love, and God’s own way. Embrace this life, our new identity, Reflect His love, His grace, our legacy. So let us trust, with hearts so pure, In Jesus’ love, we are secure. In every trial, in every fight, Jesus is our eternal light.

In realms beyond our mortal sight, God’s wisdom shines, a guiding light. His power vast, beyond compare, In every breath, He’s always there. Divine and human, worlds apart, Yet in His love, we find our heart. With humble steps, we walk His way, In trust and faith, we kneel and pray.

Though shadows fall and doubts arise, His purpose gleams in clouded skies. He holds the earth, the stars, the sea, And in His hands, our destiny. His presence near, in joy and pain, A constant friend in sun and rain. In trials deep, His comfort flows, A gentle peace that ever grows. So let us trust in wisdom pure, Embrace humility, secure. In God’s great plan, we find our role, His love, our anchor, makes us whole.

When life’s challenges leave us weak, In His strength, refuge we seek. Powerless, we call His name, In our need, He quells the flame. Turn to God in times of strife, Trust His power to save your life. His interventions, faith’s sweet song, In His love, we all belong.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
