Truth Reigns

Truth Reigns

By: Elaina Grace Morgan
 
 
True riches ain't found in any daddy Warbucks.
They're found in our daddy up above.
Earthly things shall pass away,
but the truth will always...reign.
 
Never ceasing to break unwanted chains,
Shaking people to their core,
healing unwanted pain,
Leaving you thirsty for...more.
 
And no matter how hard lies try to work
To keep you bound...by your dirt,
Bound...in the shackles of your hurt
Light will always reveal what...lurks.
 
Yet darkness cannot hide...from the light
Or blind...those who are seeking to have clear sight
And it's the feeling many have pushed aside,
The feeling of what is wrong and what is...right.
 
Truth overcomes the lies that tell you you are...worthless,
Shows you what can come out of a sweet, innocent, little...kiss.
Sheds reality that your ecstasy came from...bliss.
Shines light on who really...missed you.
Truth.

So Much More!

    My heart over the past couple of weeks has been to encourage my fellow believers in Jesus Christ with the following: First off, I want to tell you all that this is not about me, but about God who has been working through me. I had been feeling discouragement in where the direction of my life was headed. He had given me big dreams, but I had no idea where they were going. It seemed like a dead end, however my passion was obvious. Over the past week or so I had been praying that God would expand my influence so I could speak into many young ladies' lives and let me tell you, He answered that prayer and not because it was my timing, but it was HIS timing and not because they were in the way I had envisioned them, but in the way HE envisioned them. I am joyed to be able to tell you that He had answered them in an even bigger way than I had EVER dreamed.
 
    How does this apply to you, precious ones? I am not telling you to discourage you if you are in a dry season. I am here to encourage you to have FAITH. God did NOT put you on this earth to be ordinary, but EXTRAORDINARY and to be able to share in HIS glory. Do not envy anyone else's call because He is going to use you in the areas that you will be the most effective. BUT, you HAVE to take ACTION. It is dire. When He says move, MOVE. When He says stay put, STAY PUT.
When He says speak, SPEAK. When He says listen, LISTEN. Staying put, however, disregards staying put in your relationship with God. We are called to GROW and NEVER to be stagnant and I do NOT care what it takes for that to happen. Be WILLING and CONTINUALLY be in prayer about being humble.
 
    Most importantly, we must live by the HOLY SPIRIT. Let the Holy Spirit be your guide. Cover yourself in the blood of Jesus. Pray purity over your hearts, minds, emotions, words, and your desires. Pray that HIS will be done, not yours. When God moves pride can become a huge epidemic in your relationship with God and it will not be able to thrive in it. Be on WATCH. Beloved ones, I pray that you will be encouraged to stay in tune to the Holy Spirit and this will be the start of your COMPLETE deliverance.
 
2 Corinthians 6:6 ~ "We prove ourselves by our PURITY, our UNDERSTANDING, our PATIENCE, our KINDNESS, by the HOLY SPIRIT within US, and by our SINCERE LOVE."

You Hear Me

You Hear Me

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

You hear me, Lord.
You hear the sound of my heart beating to the rhythm of your love.
I want my footsteps to be in harmony with you.
You're the crescendo in my life.
I want to know you more, my Lord.

This is my heart's song.
I long for more.
I've got the background.
All eyes on you.
My duet is only with You, God.

Like a soprano
Your ways are higher than mine.
I live my life to glorify.
Reveal to me Your very being.
Take control.
Be the conductor of this symphony.

This is my heart's song.
I long for more.
I've got the background.
All eyes on you.
My duet is only with You, God.

You know what keys to sing.
You're the lead.
My heart's hymn is for the King.
This rhythm is only for You God.
This voice is only to praise You, God.

This is my heart's song.
I long for more.
I've got the background.
All eyes on you.
My duet is only with you, Oh God.


Daughters of Christ

Daughters of Christ

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

Ladies, if you wouldn't want your future daughters
Wearing low shirts, short skirts, skin tight, the works
Then don't wear them presently.
Better yet let's be dressing modestly
Because you're supposed to be.
Encouraging purity.

Daughters of Jesus,
 Being cautious
 Of what we wear,
Taking God's promise
Looking in His mirror.

 He looks at our hearts
Helps us dodge all of those flaming darts
Of insecurity,
All the dirty.
He'll quench all you thirsty.
For eternity.
You don't have to look like Barbie.
Or go to parties
Speaking malarkey to be liked.

Quit using your own psyche.
Clothe yourself with the mind of Christ, See
To it, you agree with it?
 Holy Spirit and you should be tightly knit.
Admit your sins
Fall on your knees in repentance.
You're the one choosing your own sentence.

Dead To Sin

Dead To Sin

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


Here's my story;
A heart so filled with worry.
Riding dirty every day 
Whether sunny or dreary,
Flickin' that middle finger up in a hurry.
Learning gas pedal to the metal
Never earned us a gold medal.
I was running backwards

Trippin' on my vico,
Doing psycho.
I never got caught by the po po.
Yet I felt so low
Only focusing on my dough 
And why those guys wanted to hurt me.
Little did I know;
God could make me worthy.
No, I ain't talkin' for them.
The man I'm talkin' about was Him.

But with Jesus faith is a must.
Faith like a mustard seed says the Bible I read,
Freed,
'Cause before I was in the wrong race.
Back it up before I pop you.
Give me my space.
Clenchin' fists,
Throwin' hits till someone,
 Make me walk away.
After all these years
I got to the right place.
Finally in the running of a true race.

Watchin' for the boss and
When He's coming back.
Believin' He give me everythin'
I need and lack.
Havin' one foot in
Will just keep me stumblin' back.
Then He'd rather have me just step back.
Not 'cause He doesn't want me.
You see it's if I want Him.
He wants me getting brighter, not growin' dim.
Advancin' the kingdom by sharin' Him.
But I ain't here to try to persuade you
Or to try and sway you away with whim.

No, this is serious.
God brought me joy,
Delirious
'Cause I found His
Love so intoxicatin'
And now you find me lovin' the ones who hurt me,
Yeah, the ones who are hatin'.
I'm just statin',
I ain't baitin'.

But nothing's gonna shut me up from speakin' the truth.
'Cause I used to be datin' sin.
Now I'm waitin' like Ruth.
I'm gonna show Him
I'm a Proverbs 31 woman 
And I ain't foolin' with this sin.
That's 'cause Christ died on the cross for all of them.
I'll continue livin' right,
Walkin' by faith and not by sight
Till I die.
Why?
Like I said it was for my sins that He died.
Now He lives again and I glorify.
I ain't livin' high on those pills
All 'cause after Christ I found what was real.

Crucify My Flesh

Crucify My Flesh

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


MmMm, I don't play games.
I live for Christ unashamed.
He blessed me with discernment.
There's no foolin 'round with this chick.
All or nothing?
My all is the call.
So why would I trade Him in for the world,
trade a pearl in for a meal?

And what's the deal with all these people
Going around calling themselves Christians
Only 'cause they hide under a steeple?
That will just make them weaker,
Living in pride.
That's why I stick with learning to be meeker,
Suicide.
Crucify my flesh.
Going hard for Christ and no less.
Modest in my dress and representing purity.
After all wasn't that who Christ was supposed to be?

Well I'll tell you He always was, will, and will be.
But the lukewarm who call themselves Christians make it look like hypocrisy.
In fact they're not Christians at all.
They playing a game, baseball.
Their relationships are creepin from first base all the way to home plate.
When the Word says home plate is to be sanctified.
Saved for marriage,
But we've got girls calling themselves Christians.
They spillin over their cleavage
Instead of spilling out the Holy Spirit.
But that's why I'm in it
Now,

I've never been gratified from the lies of the enemy.
That's why I keep choosing to look to Christ for who I'm supposed to be.
I don't do the stuff I did before, look at pornography.
'Cause I'm no longer bonded in my sin.
I've been set free.
And my passion is to help these young ones along,
To teach them what God's word says is right and what's wrong.
I'm not in it for the glory
And if you've heard the story,
My God is greater than your idols.
They just inventory.

My Jesus

My Jesus

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


People ask me if I've ever been in love,
I tell them I'm in love with a man who bears scars on His hands.
I tell them that the life He lived was anything but bland
He healed the sick,
Always knew when the Pharisees tried to trick Him.

He used discretion, redirected them with questions.
He gave sight to the blind,
Turned water into wine.
I imagine His eyes shined with grace.
His face glowed with love to those who were the lowest,
Those who were at their weakest
And yet He still managed to be the meekest of them all
Calling the least of these.

He makes me weak at the knees.
And it's impossible for me not to fall on my knees in prayer.
Because I want to see Him in me when I look into the mirror.
He's always been true to me encouraging purity.
Spoke against promiscuity to encourage me to be holy.
In Him I find security.
No man will ever love me as much as He.

He tells me that I am worth so much, so precious
He sweeps my hair behind my ear and
Touches my heart with kindness.
He called me His beloved,
the example of true love.
Broke all the lies saying that I was unloved.
Love advantageous
All from a man named Jesus.

Made To Be Courageous!

Made To Be Courageous

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


I chose to lose selfish and do selfless
Because that's the only way I'm livin like .
I've been strivin to be righteous though I know I fall short.
Being courageous is contagious and He's my escort.
'Cause without Him I'd be a victim of my own sin.
Yet He changed me and now I speak of what He did.

I told them without Him I'd be living dead.
They crinkled their noses and just shook their heads.
But listen up as I explain my sustainer,
He heals our pain and bleaches the stain of us sinners.
He's had my back, the only one who can cover black with red
All because He rose from the dead to make us white and pure.

He told me to fight the good fight, taught me to endure.
He said if I persevere I would produce character.
Preached against unforgiveness that had only made me bitter.
He taught me how to love right,
 To shine His light so bright.
He gave me hope when I thought all hope was lost
And all because He, blameless, paid the cost.

I tell you it should have been me on that cross.
But what a failure I would have been.
Yet He still came to a sinful earth in the form of a man
To save all humanity.
You may be thinking what I'm preaching is insanity.
But I tell you right now what would you do if you were in my shoes,
Changed and made completely new?

Well let me tell you to me it doesn't matter.
Because it's not men whom I've come to flatter.
I've come to you tell the truth,
Show you that I am living proof
Of a life that has been completely changed,
Rearranged to glorify Him.

I've come to breathe a warning
That sin leads to death, no breath.
Crowds in an uproar to crucify,
Little did they know it was for them that He would die.
It was in Him that they'd be free.
And little did they know that Pilate's decree
Would end up bringing Him glory.

So why should I stay silent when you're all mocking me and saying God is a tyrant,
When you don't even know Him?
You think your "dim" is right because that's all you've ever known.
You think staying right where you are is alright because you've never grown.
Let me tell you I've been on both ends
And there is no way I'm ever living without Him again.
So mock me if you must
That's alright because I'm living free from disgust
of my former lustful life.
Living pure and holy and solely for my savior, Christ.

New Creation

New Creation

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

They'd call me little miss goody two shoes.
Little did they know I was wearing two shoes
Pulling me in separate directions,
One, the way of correction, protection
The other a way of defection.

When did the ways of the fool ever become cool?
When did this get to me, a duet consisting of sin and me?
I ignored the debt that was paid for me.
I let them push me, peer pressured and they used me.
Those ways never pleased me, appeased me, freed me.

Those were the ways of the men that chained me up.
They always gave me an empty cup,
Never fulfilled my thirst.
I was cursed.
Yet in His grace I had been immersed.
Through Him I have found freedom
By what I have become in Him.

I am saved by grace,
The old has been replaced
Through faith.
I am a new creation.
He has lifted my burden.
He has ended this famine.
He has given me joy to spread to all nations.
Through only Him I am a new creation.
