Lord of Time and Lord of Space

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 28, 2021

Lord of time and Lord of space
Lord God of the human race
Lord of the Sabbath, Lord of life
Lord who became our Sacrifice

Lord of the earth and skies and sea
Lord of all eternity
Lord of spirits, Lord of light
Lord in whom we take delight

Lord of mercy, Lord of grace
Lord of Love whom we embrace
Lord of compassion, Lord of truth
Lord of the aged, Lord of the youth

Lord of the evening and the dawn
Lord of the babies yet unborn
Lord of infants, children, teens
Lord of every living thing

Lord who conquered every curse
Lord of the entire universe
Lord of power, Lord of might
Lord of hearing and of sight

Lord of glory whom we praise
Lord, the Ancient One of Days
Lord who sets Your children free
Lord in whom there’s victory

Humbly, Lord, we bow before
Our Lord and God whom we adore
Lord of lords and Kings of kings
In love we bring thank offerings

Worship

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 28, 2021

Worship is more than getting lost in GOD’S presence, although that is wonderful and I, for one, wouldn’t change that for the world. However, I believe that a higher form of worship is a life-style. It’s the way we think, speak and act every moment of our lives. It’s the way we respond to injustice, to pain, to trials and persecution and to temptation. It’s loving what GOD loves and hating what GOD hates. It’s the unconditional giving of ourselves to GOD, fully trusting Him to complete the work that He has begun in us. Jesus has already given Himself irrevocably, unwaveringly, to us.

 

Of course, none of us are perfect, so we are sure to mess up at times and that’s okay. GOD is quick to lend a helping hand at those times. Instead of concentrating on the negative, we should stay focused on the times we get it right. It is at those times that our worship is bringing GOD the highest glory.

Love Called Me

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 27, 2021

Love called me and I loved Him so
The moment I first heard His voice
Love then embraced me and I cried
In gratitude I did rejoice

Love suffered for me unto death
And died to give me life
Love called me to a world of peace
Out of a world of strife

I spurned Love and I slowly died
Love’s little threads spread far and wide
I lost sweet Love, gained bitter pride
Love looked upon me and Love cried

My heart of flesh seemed turned to stone
It could not feel the depth of Love
It could no more embrace the stars
Nor see the glory of above

But in His mercy, Love reached out
And drew me into His embrace
He gave to me a heart anew
And Love shines ever in my face

PARDON ALL MY TRANSGRESSIONS

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 26, 2021

Pardon all my transgressions,Lord
Forgive my sin, I pray
Cleanse my soul
From all evil today

With Your blood bleach sin’s crimson stain
Make my heart white as snow
Take my hand
Let my love for You show

Yes, I love You my Lord
And I won’t look back again
You’ve opened up my eyes
And I will never be the same

Lord, it was for my sins
That You died at Calvary
Gave Your life
So that I may be free

And I know that in You, my Lord
Eternity is mine
And I’ll worship You
In truth, my God divine

If Only the Whole World Could See

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 24, 2021

If only the whole world could see
How deprived they are, they’re not free
How empty the lives that they lead
In this world of corruption and greed

If only the whole world could know
The wonders that You have to show
Many would turn from the vortex of sin
Enraptured, they would enter in

If only the whole world knew of
The depth of Your wonderful love
If they sought Your glory and grace
Saw the beauty of Your holy face

But their hearts are bewitched, and their eyes
Are blinded by all Satan’s lies
And only a remnant are free
A people whose treasure is Thee

 

Lord, Can It Be

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 23, 2021

Lord, can it be
This precious love You have for me
Is not just universal love
That covers Heaven, earth and sea

Lord, can it be
You love me individually
That You’re consumed
With love that has no bounds for me

Lord, can it be
That you love me with jealousy
Born from the passion
Raging in Your heart for me

Lord, can it be
That when I sleep, You stay with me
And look upon me tenderly
Devotedly protecting me

Lord, can it be
That You long with intensity
To spend my waking hours with me
In sweet communion
Constantly

Lord, can it be?

 

 

How Precious Lord to Realize

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 22, 2021

How precious Lord, to realize
You think about us constantly
Even when we’re fast asleep
Your thoughts outweigh the galaxy

In number they exceed the sand
In love, immeasurable
Your thoughts for us are thoughts of peace
Our wholeness is Your will

Your plans are plans to teach us how
To rule and to subdue
The darkness roaming on this earth
As we are led of You

Your thoughts are thoughts to prosper us
In every single way
In spirit soul and body
As we walk the narrow way

But more than this, You think about
The day You’ll fetch Your Bride
We’ll rise to meet You in the sky
And stay close by Your side

The World Cries Freedom

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 21, 2021

In this modern age where freedom
Is the cry throughout the earth
Woman’s rights remove the rights of babes
Who haven’t come to birth

China’s rights to communism
Overrule the right to teach
The beauty of the Gospel
They keep Bibles out of reach

Many people jailed and tortured
Inhumane, atrocities
Perpetrated against Christians
Because of their beliefs

In Uganda millions martyred
By Islamic radicals
Many more forced into slavery
For being in God’s will

Christians killed by their own families
In Islamic countries still
And many Islamic rulers shout
Death to the infidels

In Australia, gay rights remove
The Christians’ rights to preach
The unadulterated truth, the Word
Is being called hate speech

But more stupefying, the people
Who have Bibles of their own
Collecting dust upon the shelf
In many of our homes

They still have freedom of religion
Yet they turn their backs on God
Defame, blaspheme, and curse Him
Make a mockery of the Lord

On the right a people
Whose priority is God’s will
On the left those who despise Him
And to death will hate God still

In the middle, there’s another group
Lost, living in despair
Who need a light to guide them
To a loving God who cares

Wake up Christian warriors
Leave passivity behind
Strive to bring in all the lost sheep
We are running out of time

Storm Clouds

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 20, 2021

Though storm clouds clothe the sky in gloom
Beyond them lies the sun
Though oft our lives seem worthless
There’s hope for everyone

Though oft’ our hearts are broken
There’s healing for each wound
The Healing balm of Gilead
To patch up lives once ruined

Though there is death around us
We’ve life abundantly
For Jesus took our sin away
Through death at Calvary

 

 

Suffering is but for a Moment

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on February 19, 2021

Suffering is but for a moment
Passing ship upon the sea
But the wondrous love of Jesus
Reaches to eternity

Riches give us temporal pleasure
But the joy of earthly gain
Can’t compare with those of Heaven
Given in our Father’s name

Worldly peace is an illusion
Peace comes only from above
Given to the Kingdom children
By the power of His love
