TWISTED

 Revelation 21:4
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

FATHER,

TELL ME WHY IT HURTS SO BAD, THE PAIN WON’T GO AWAY

I ALWAYS TRY TO SMILE AND LAUGH, BUT CRY BEFORE I PRAY

I KNOW I SHOULDN’T HAVE A DOUBT, OR THINK I’VE LOST CONTROL

BUT THERE ARE TIMES I CLOSE MY EYES AND SEE MY BURNING SOUL

THE FAITH I HAVE HAS GROWN SO MUCH, AND FEAR HAS GONE AWAY

BUT THE DEVIL SHOWS HIS FACE, EACH TIME I KNEEL TO PRAY

I’VE TRIED AND TRIED TO JUSTIFY, AND STILL CAN’T REACH MY GOAL

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY TIMES I SEE MY BURNING SOUL

BUT AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, I’M IN THE BOOK OF LIFE

NO MORE PAIN, NO MORE TEARS, NO MORE DEATH, NO MORE STRIFE

I KNOW THE DEVIL WANTS IT ALL, BUT JESUS FILLS MY HOLE

AND NOW THAT ALL MY PAIN IS GONE, SO IS MY BURNING SOUL.

THANK YOU IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN!

I PRAYED MY WAY TO JESUS

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Be cheerful no matter what;  pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.

FATHER,

THE DEVIL TRIED TO TELL ME LIES AND TAKE ME FROM YOUR GRACE

THAT’S WHEN I GOT ON MY KNEES AND SOUGHT TO SEE YOUR FACE

NEVER ONCE DID I BELIEVE A WORD THAT HE WOULD SAY

I CLOSED MY EYES BEFORE I CRIED AND ALWAYS PRAYED MY WAY.

I REMEMBER WHEN MY HEART, WAS BROKEN INTO TWO

I TRIED TO LAUGH THE PAIN AWAY, BUT THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS THROUGH

IT HURT SO BAD, TO KNOW THAT I, HAD SUCH A PRICE TO PAY

I CLOSED MY EYES BEFORE I CRIED AND TRULY PRAYED MY WAY

NOW I PRAY WHEN THINGS ARE GOOD, NOT ONLY WHEN THERE BAD

I PRAY NO MATTER WHAT THE TIME, HAPPY, MAD OR SAD

I PRAY AT NIGHT BEFORE I SLEEP, AND PRAY TO START MY DAY

I CLOSE MY EYES BEFORE I CRY AND ALWAYS PRAY MY WAY

IM JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN!

TRAPPED INSIDE A CAGE

 Psalm 31:4

Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone.

FATHER,

PULL ME FROM THIS DEADLY TRAP, THE WORLD HAS SET FOR ME

IT FEELS LIKE I’M INSIDE A CAGE, AND SOMEONE STOLE THE KEY

EVERYTIME I READ YOUR WORD, THE DEVIL TEARS THE PAGE

JESUS CAME TO SET ME FREE, BUT I’M TRAPPED INSIDE A CAGE.

PLEASE HELP ME IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN

IN GOD’S HANDS

1 Peter 5:6-7 “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. ”

FATHER,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS, YOUR WORDS THAT LIFT ME UP

THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF GRACE, WITH WHICH YOU FILL MY CUP

THANK YOU FOR THE FOOTPRINTS, THAT WALK ME THROUGH THE SANDS

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE INSIDE YOUR HANDS

IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN

 

 

PSALM 51

 For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.

¹ Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. ² Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

³ For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. ⁴ Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. ⁵ Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. ⁶ Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

⁷ Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. ⁸ Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. ⁹ Hide your face from my sins     and blot out all my iniquity.

¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. ¹¹ Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation     and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

¹³ Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. ¹⁴ Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. ¹⁵ Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. ¹⁶ You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;  you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. ¹⁷ My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.

¹⁸ May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON

1 John 3:8

…..But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.

FATHER,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON.

IF IT WASN’T FOR THE PRINCE OF PEACE, WE’D HAVE NOWHERE TO RUN

IF IT WASN’T FOR THE KING OF KINGS, THE DEVIL WOULD HAVE WON

IF IT WASN’T FOR THE BREAD OF LIFE, THIS LIFE WOULD BE NO FUN

FATHER,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SON

IN HIS NAME,

AMEN!!!

TAKE ME BY THE HAND

 Psalm 31:15

My times are in your hand; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue
me.

FATHER,

TAKE ME BY THE HAND, AND HELP ME TO MY FEET

EVERYTIME I TRY TO SIT, SOMEONE TAKES MY SEAT

I DON’T WANT TO RUN THROUGH ALL THE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

I JUST WANT TO WALK WITH YOU, SO TAKE ME BY THE HAND

IN JESUS’ NAME,

AMEN!!!!

EASIER SAID THAN DONE

  Matthew 14:27-29

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29 “Come,” he said.

FATHER,

MY BODY WANTS TO COME TO YOU, BUT MY MIND IS SO AFRAID

I KNOW THAT WHEN I FINALLY DO, MY SOUL WILL HAVE IT MADE

I HEAR YOU TELLING ME ALL DAY, TO FOCUS ON YOUR SON

NO OFFENSE MY LORD, BUT THAT’S EASIER SAID THAN DONE

I’D LOVE TO WALK ON WATER, AND NEVER HAVE A DOUBT

I’D LOVE TO FILL MYSELF WITH YOU, AND CAST THE DEMONS OUT

I’D LOVE TO HAVE MY COURAGE TURN MY DREAMS INTO SOME FUN

NO OFFENSE MY LORD, BUT THAT’S EASIER SAID THAN DONE

IF ONLY I COULD CLOSE MY EYES, AND STEP OUT PAST MY FEAR

IF ONLY I COULD SEE MY HEART THROUGH ALL THESE CLOUDY TEARS

IF ONLY I COULD LEAVE THIS BOAT, AND WALK OUT TO YOUR SON

NO OFFENSE MY LORD, BUT THAT’S EASIER SAID THAN DONE

TODAY IT’S EASIER DONE THAN SAID

BECAUSE OF YOUR GRACE BY WHICH I HAVE BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH

I STEPPED OUT OF THE BOAT

IN JESUS’ NAME

AMEN

PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS

 

2 Timothy 2:19

Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”

FATHER,

I KNOW YOU KNOW MY EVERY MOVE, AND EVERY THOUGHT IN MIND

THERE WAS A TIME I COULD NOT SEE, BUT NOW MY EYES AREN’T BLIND

I ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME, FOR ALL THAT I HAVE DONE

I PRAY TO YOU THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, YOUR ONE BEGOTTEN SON

IN HIS NAME I PRAY

AMEN

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

 Exodus 20

King James Version (KJV)

20 And God spake all these words, saying,

² I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

³ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

⁵ Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

⁶ And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

⁷ Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

⁸ Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

⁹ Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

¹⁰ But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

¹¹ For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

¹² Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

¹³ Thou shalt not kill.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not commit adultery.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not steal.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

¹⁸ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

¹⁹ And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

²⁰ And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

²¹ And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

²² And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

²³ Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

²⁴ An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

²⁵ And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

²⁶ Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
