Daughters, Don’t Cry Over Trivial Things

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on August 10, 2022

Daughters, don’t cry over trivial things
But cry for lost souls and the chaos it brings
Cry for your brethren, struggling to stand
Cry out for the lack of faith in the land

Cry out for those chained by oppression and doubt
For those in the pit who cannot get out
Cry out for freedom for those who are bound
Cry out for justice and peace to abound

Cry out for corruption to come to an end
Cry out for compassion upon contrite men
Cry out for revival to spread like a flame
Cry out for My kingdom to come down and reign

And when you have cried, don’t just leave it there
Do something about all these things if you care
For each child of Mine has a part to play
In repairing the breaches of sin’s vile decay

When Someone Betrays Me

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on July 12, 2021

When someone betrays me or slanders my name
Or gossips and spreads lies again and again
Teach me to be kind and to pray for that one
That You will forgive her for all she has done

When someone reviles me or spits in my face
Insults or torments me, Lord give me the grace
To bless and forgive and to do what is right
To respond out of love, not react out of spite

When I am threatened or sworn at or hurt
Or hated, abused, let me trust in Your Word
Let your love fill my heart and Your grace flood my being
Let Your light shine through me and Your glory be seen

FATHER, REIGN WITHIN MY HEART

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on July 10, 2021

Father, reign within my heart
Please let Your Kingdom come
And take control of all of me
Lord, let Your will be done

And, Lord, if I should start to stray
In thought or word or deed
Please take my hand and lead me home
And cleanse me, Lord, I plead

Be Exalted

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on September 20, 2020

Be exalted in my heart, LORD
Be exalted when I pray
In each thought that comes to mind, LORD
And in every word I say

Be exalted in my actions
Be exalted every day
In my walk and in my standing
Be exalted every way

Be exalted in my worship
Be exalted in my song
In my testimony of You
Be exalted all day long

You’re exalted in the heavens
Far above the stars that shine
Far above angelic creatures
You’re exalted, GOD divine

Be exalted on the earth LORD
May creation give You praise
For all things were made by You, for You
Oh, Ancient One of Days

Lord, Gaurd My Mind

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on September 20, 2020

Lord, guard my mind, my thoughts, each day
And guard my lips, that what they say
May be approved of You, I pray
Lord, guard my life in every way

Lord, guard my feet that they may stay
Upon the path of life, I pray
Lord, guard my eyes that they may see
The good where there is none to see

Lord, guard my heart, that what I feel
Will always be Your perfect will
And guard my hands that what they do
Will always be approved of You
