A WARRIORS PRAYER

Lord, I bow down upon my knees.

Begging you to please set me free,
Untie the chains that bind my soul.
Lift me up, make me whole.
Flood my spirit with your love.
Give my heart wings of a dove.
Unsure of what my future brings.
My hope now soars on Holy wings.
Willing to walk through lifes fire,
Praising my Lord and lifting Him higher.
Keep my eyes upon you, Oh Lord,
Will my hands to use your sword
WHISPERS FROM A DREAMER

Dreams locked away in a silver chest.

All because I think I know best.
Deep within me wishing to be free,
Is a heart full of dreams!
So hope appears on angel wings,
As she points me back to the King.
A whispered prayer upon the night
Calls for the Holy Spirits light.
I pray upon bent knee.
Father, Please be with me,
Wrap loving arms around,
Give me strength to stand upon this ground.

A NARROW PATH

On a road walking steady and true,

I have only one instruction, to have faith in you.
Lord, you set me upon this path.
Saying let me be your rod and staff.
No looking to the left or right,
Eyes fixed upon Gods light.
Knowing that I am cared for all the way
At the end of my path the Lords house is where Ill stay.

A Salvation Prayer

Lord, upon my knees I am prone,

I bow down under your feet.
Father from your royal throne,
You hear my every need.
I present my heart tarnished as it is,
Unworthy am I to be here now,
But Lord, I accept who Jesus is.
The Son of God came to save us now.
My spirit humbly submits,
A ledger of my offense.
My sinful nature I admit,
While, Jesus stands in my defense.
The gift of life Christ did give.
Through His hands with their holes,
The Lord is able to freely forgive.
Adopting me into His family fold.
Lord, upon my knees I am prone.
My spirit humbly submits,
I bow down before your royal throne,
My needs to you I commit.
Worthy are you, Lord, to be praised.

Holy Spirit, you fill my heart,

You delight in all my days,
With a love that will never depart.
You search my heart and know,
All my treasured dreams,
My secret desires hidden below,
I surrender these parts of me!
Lord, I bow down in awe of you,
Wonderful are your plans.
Your ways are righteous and true,
You desire us to pray through the land.
Your presence upon the breeze,
Your scent is in the air.
It lifts my spirit within me,
Willingly your cross Ill bear.
The Holy Spirits gentle touch,
Christs unconditional love.
The Lords love endures much,
Descending upon me like a dove.
Now free to dance within the royal halls.
Your divine peace floods my soul.
I now embrace the Lords call,
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole.

A WIFES BATTLE CRY!

On my knees this night,

Unfold these snowy white wings.
Holy Spirit let us take flight,
Carry my husband to the King.
On my knees this I pray.

The helmet of salvation,

Fitted over his ears will stay,
Silencing the enemys every accusation.
On my knees I will praise.
The breast plate of righteousness,
Guard his heart all his days,
He walks this world in spiritual boldness.
On my knees I will seek.
The belt of truth tied tight.
Upon my husband meek,
Speaking out what is right.
On my knees I will sing.
The shoes of a gospel song,
My husbands feet he will bring,
Good news he walks with in a world gone wrong.
On my knees I will worship.
The shield of faith in his hand,
Darts of fire from the enemy extinguish.
Praises we sing to our King, as we stand.
On my knees I humbly come.
A double edge sword swings by.
The word of our Lord, it is done.
My Husband now fights in the sky.
On my knees I pray this quiet night.
In the spirit we stand firm,
Unfold these wings of white.
Praying please Holy Spirit may the battle turn.
