No One Like You

O Lord, there is no one like you.
You speak and the heavens fall into place,
each word you speak is life itself.

There are no other gods.
My puny mind cannot grasp all you are,
But I know you are real.

May your Spirit take my spirit captive.
My He rule my body, mind, and soul.
I submit control!

Lead me in the right path.
Guide my steps.
I will follow you on this journey.

Help me grow in relationship with you.
Help me move from a babe in arms,
To brother and friend.

You call us to yourself.
The creator who walks with his creation.
There is no one like you.

Rain



O Lord, soak me in your heavenly rain.
Let every fiber of my being be drenched in your love and mercy.
Let the power of your presence satisfy my soul like the morning dew.
Wash me your cleansing stream.
My my sin be wiped away like a flood in the desert.
My my thirst be satisfied by your living water.
My you sooth my troubled soul with your healing fountain.
My you overwhelm me like a waterfall.

Waiting



Jesus, it is difficult to wait.
I'm not built for waiting.
Spontaneous, impetuous best describe me.
Teach me to wait.

I would sit at your feet.
I would wait in your presence.
I would listen for your words.
Help me know your voice.

Help me recognize your whisper.
May I joy in your laughter.
May I be silent in your discipline.
May I grasp your words of life.

Your words are strength for the day.
Your touch is courage for the moment.
Your presence is protection from the circumstance.
Your silence is the power of friendship.

buried alive



Lord I have been buried alive,
Selfishness, self-doubt, self-pity
Self-absorption, and self-centeredness
Have buried me alive.
I am dead.

But You are my resurrection.
You are my Life.
Breath into me you breath.
And I will live.

Selflessness because you are my provision.
Self-assurance because you are my strength.
Others centered because you care for me.

You are the drink to quench my thirst
You are the food to feed my soul.

I live.
