My Strength

My Strength

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


It's days like this that I want to climb back into..
Bed,
And give way to the..
End.
Because I feel there's no..
End
When depression's kicking..
In.
 But what keeps me going isn't looking at the now, but the..
End
If I keep on going instead of giving..
In.

The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green..
Pastures.
He heals all the brokenness, bruises, and..
Fractures
Of a wounded heart. 
A..
Preacher. 
A..
Teacher,
He leads me, an undeserving..
Creature
Beside still waters.
He restores my..
Soul.
Replaces the broken with something new and..
Whole.

So that I can get up and enjoy a sunny..
Day.
In actuality any..
Day
The Lord has made.
And when pain comes in the night.
All I have to do is fight
To reach the joy that comes in the..
Morning
And to give sincere thanks in the midst of my..
Mourning.

One Way

One Way

By: Elaina Grace Morgan
 
 
Sometimes we need to fast..
The good things..
 To get back..
 On track..
So that..
Those things can become great..
To remember our first love and not those things that..
We "hate."
 
We don't fight against flesh and blood..
But principalities, rulers of darkness..
A flood..
 Of crud..
Not a tree full of harmless..
 Buds..
Waiting to bloom into something..
 Gorgeous.
 
Where there is no vision..
The people..
 Perish.
When eyes aren't focused on the mission..
We forget His means to..
 Cherish.
 
When things are more than off..
 Kilter..
They start to look more like..
Hitler.
Ugly, disobedient, misdirected..
 Anger..
 In need of a perfect working..
Filter.
 
To change the course of all..
Things..
To lay down one's life completely for our..
King.
To exchange weakening and..
Worrying..
For strengthening..
 Being..
Worthy of..
Rings.

Restore Me

Restore Me 

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

Restore my vision,
Redeem my heart,
Restore my soul.
Send me, Father and I will go.
Fill me up so I may flow..
Your unfailing love.
Give me strength..
To rise above..
On wings like eagles.
My heart sings my cry.
Fill my cup, Father for I am dry.
I will run..
And I'll not grow weary.
Your will be done.
I'll trust in you, no fear in..me.
I won't turn back to find everything I lack.
Let your present work
Nurture my..future.

A Life Of Love

A Life Of Love

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


Society sees surrender as shame,
So they live for themselves, they live for the fame.
"Satisfying self is the name of the game,"
They say.
Pray..
Me, myself, and I..
Lie..
If it benefits you.
Cry..
To falsify the proof.
Daunt and taunt and flaunt,
Belittle people to get what you want.
Freedom is doing what you want.

But true freedom is found in forgiveness,
In a love for the Father's business.
A business, 
Love..
Like Christ
Requires sacrifice.
It was His righteous life,
The price,
For a sinful life..
 Like yours.
It was an unfair trade made that day.
It was the day..
 He came
To prepare a way.

The greatest way..
That love was shown.
Because a seed was sown
A seed had grown.
Touch one life..
And it might..
Touch several others.
Choose a life of love..
 That covers..
A multitude of sins because a life of love..
Always wins.

Wonderful Counselor

Wonderful Counselor

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


Touches my eyes so I can see.
Takes my hands and shows me what I need.
Touches my heart so I can be freed from my past impurities
And any presence in my life that may be dirty.
He gives me strength to continue to endure
When those evil spirits continue to try to lure.
Those temptations, ha salutations.
He says I'm worth something more.
He tells me I've got something worth living for.
So let me show you to the door.
I don't need you anymore.

Wonderful Counselor,
He directs my steps.
He gives me peace when I start to worry what's next.
When I am weary He gives me rest.
Shows me how to live.
You can read it in the text.
He encourages me to do my best.
"Don't you worry.  I'll take care of the rest."
A little love is all that I need,  but He
Created - Excuse me.
He IS love, the one and only perfect love, the one and only Savior, God.
