Day 35 Tower of Power 22:02:03

In building a tower there's surely a cost For all of the things we once thought gain are lost Our rock of salvation now surely shall build A tower of power in those He has filled.

We are weak and weary and we are but frail We are feeble but Jesus never shall fail For he is our tower and strong mighty shield When in our weakness to Him shall we yield.

We're trophies of grace for the ancient of days His glory and power forever we'll praise We'll inherit the kingdom if we remain meek For power is perfected in those who are weak

Crippled confused and scattered like sheep Christ comes to indwell us- our souls He shall keep For in through and to Him is all praise and power And those He indwells are a strong mighty tower

For just as we're buried with Him in the grave And just as He by God's glory was raised Even so we shall walk in a life that is new He raised us up with Him with power to rule

We're trophies of grace for the ancient of days His glory and power forever we'll praise We'll inherit the kingdom if we remain meek For power is perfected in those who are weak.

Day 34 True Heart 21:02:03

My thoughts can get the best of me if I have my selfish way Theyıve often tried and tested me-take my attitudes, I pray And give me gladness in return as I serve you and you alone Help me never cease to learn that I am not on my own

A true heart, I would have a true heart All I ask is that You search and see Test if there be any way in me That would steal my thoughts To any other master than the one who bought Me for His very own By a servantıs heart I would be known.

Trustworthy in small things, a servant of the Lord Trustworthy in all things, not a ruler in the world. To have a heart that is true With gladness I would serve I must find myself in You! And from this path I would not swerve

A true heart, I would have a true heart All I ask is that You search and see Test if there be any way in me That would steal my thoughts To any other master than the one who bought Me for His very own By a servantıs heart I would be known.

Day 34:

I lost a day somewhere- did anybody find it?

Day 34: Invisible man 20:02:03

I am no greater than my master
I know His grace I don't deserve
I would shepherd, I would pastor
Just as he showed how to serve

The real test is this and only this-
when like a servant I am treated
how do I react when taken for granted
How do I respond when I am really needed?

I want to lose my profile
I want to look like you.
I want my motivations
to be trustworthy and true.
So I will seek to have your mind
in everything I do.
I want to lose myself in serving you

This is a test of the servant's heart.
This is only a test when its all said and done
Will I hear the master's commendation
Well done good and faithful one

I will do with what I have
Don the apron of humility
Bear the basin and the towel
And do invisible good deeds

I want to lose my profile
I want to look like you.
I want my motivations
to be trustworthy and true.
So I will seek to have your mind
in everything I do.
I want to lose myself in serving you

Day 33_Use it or Lose it 19.02.03

Consider your heart and run your race Kindle afresh this gift of grace And let it set your heart aflame As you lift high His Holy name Looking neither left not right Give yourself to single sight Pursue the goal for which you ache All other motives to forsake Study to show yourself approved Faultless , without blame A willing workman never needs To feel the sting of shame.

Use it or lose it Quench it or choose it. Till the field where you are placed Seek the yield of Gods good grace Plant your seeds and see the fruit of peace For it is God that gives supernatural increase.

Dont compare and dont conform To what the world says is the norm Seeking only God to please And to serve the least of these. Without vision even dreams Become empty futile extremes If you but act on what you know God will bless you as you go. Study to show yourself approved Faultless , without blame A willing workman never needs To feel the sting of shame.

Use it or lose it Quench it or choose it. Till the field where you are placed Seek the yield of Gods good grace Plant your seeds and see the fruit of peace For it is God that gives supernatural increase.

Day 31: Downfall 19.02.03

I am a sinner I admit But to your will I would submit And to your way I now commit So I may transmit truth and grace.

To gain life I must lose it And the narrow way I choose it Temptation- I must refuse it And fall down on my face.

I fall down and you lift me up You give me a crown cause you drank my cup. I fall down and you lift me up You give me a crown cause you drank my cup.

In our downfall we receive peace Lifted up when we bend the knee At the crossroads of eternity as we cast purselves upon His grace

I fall down and you lift me up You give me a crown cause you drank my cup. I fall down and you lift me up You give me a crown cause you drank my cup.

Day 30: Form Follows Function 18:02:03

What I was created for determines who I am What I am equipped for is according to your plan All of my abilities show what I was made for The way that you created me prepared me for whats in store

And form follows function To serve you is why you made me Form follows function My purpose is plain to see.

I was designed for a purpose I was designed with a plan My design determined by my use So God made me a man This bundle of desires the potter has redeemed I would do what He requires In my ambitions and dreams

And form follows function To serve you is why you made me Form follows function My purpose is plain to see.

And form follows function To serve you is why you made me Form follows function My purpose is plain to see.

Day 30_The Potters Art 18:02.03

Who modeled my shape and purpose? Who finished these walls of mine? Who wedged and prepared this clay And determined my form and design?

You made me for a purpose So Ill do what I must A product of the potters hand Transformed from water and dust

Vessels conformed to the masters will An exhibition of His skill Created to be His art on display For He is the Potter and we are the clay.

Form us for functions that please you For noble uses in a noble place Mold us into the image you choose And fill me with truth and grace

By the power and skill of your mighty hand The master creators art Takes form on His wheel ever turning And whether were finished or broken apart

We're vessels conformed to the masters will An exhibition of His skill Created to be His art on display For He is the Potter and we are the clay.

Day 29 Faithful Servant

At your service, for your pleasure To do your will is my only treasure To serve below as I will above I will serve you out of love

You called me for this purpose You bought me with a price Now I am my own no longer Im a bondservant of Christ.

To bend the knee now I am free to serve you for youve purchased me. All that you ask I would fulfill Its a glorious task- to do your will.

I hear you call me to your people Now to your voice I tune my ears So I may serve the least of these Speak Lord your servant hears.

To bend the knee now I am free to serve you for youve purchased me. All that you ask I would fulfill Its a glorious task- to do your will.
