"Increase My Faith"

Father, You are almighty, good, and holy

No matter what happens; on You I stand solely

You are loving, kind, in control of all things

Guard me, protect me, under the shadow of your wings

In this time of uncertainty, I try not to worry

Yet these thoughts fill my mind: rid me of them in a hurry

I know I can trust You, no matter what comes

Increase my faith in You; make me strong

All things I can do, through You who gives me strength

You are in control, Lord, increase my faith

I've nothing to fear

You are with me here

Please help me to, that, remember

Lord, when doubts arise, from them, me, deliver

Keep my eyes on the cross

Help me count all as loss

You are the only reason to live

Nothing counts, that this world can give

Father, keep my eyes fixed on Your beautiful face

Jesus Christ, I plead: please increase my faith

Grace be with you.

Poem

"Saved, Redeemed, Ransomed"

Jesus, my King, on You my gaze is rarely focused

So concerned with self, I hardly take time to notice

The cross where You hung, the tomb where You were laid

My life, it was saved, redeemed, ransomed, because of the price You paid

Without You, I would be dead

Were it not for the Blood, that, on the cross, You shed

How can I forget that or not give it any thought?

For it was on that cross that, my soul, You bought

Show me, teach me, to stay fixed on You everyday

To not let anything or self get in the way

Too often my days are all about me

With rarely a thought or praise for You Who are Holy

Righteous, Sinless, Almighty You are

Yet still for me, You went so far

I was dead in my sin, You gave me life through Your death

It should've been me, yet You paid my debt

You loved me so much though why I do not know

Saviour, may my life, Your Love, always show

To the cross, I nailed Your hands and Your feet

I hurt You so much Your blood covered You like a sheet

I placed a crown of thorns upon Your lovely head

I did not love You for, "Crucify Him!", is what I said

Upon that cross, aloud, You cried

And there I watched You as You died

Three days later, You rose again

You saved me after all I did

You showed me mercy, love, kindness

Though I am unworthy, You made me righteous

I need no longer fear death or the wrath of God

For I have been washed in Your Holy, Precious Blood

Grace be with you.

Poem

"God, Before You, Make Me Tremble"

God, before You, make me tremble

I am full of pride, make me humble

'Neath this earthly shell lies a heart stone cold

So full of arrogance and pride, it must be humbled

My pridefulness decreases my fear of You

For I come to You forgetting, I don't deserve to

You have made David's heart one after Your own

Replace this heart of mine 'neath this flesh and bone

Replace it with one that reflects Yourself

One that does not chase after earthly wealth

Evil creeps in and places desires in my heart

Give me strength to overcome them, please break us apart

I am weak, I am dead, oh without Thee

I need Your Grace, I need Your Strength, I need Your Guidance, o, quickly

~Katie Bekah

Grace be with you.
