Open my eyes Lord,

Open my eyes Lord, to see the beauty around me
the vast blue sky above
 the magnificient rise of the sun every morning
the loveliness of dark night sky with sparkling dust of stars strewn around
And the tiny white flowers spread along my  path
Open my eyes to see the beauty of the branches of the leafless tree ahead
How hopeful and triumph it awaits for spring to come to be full of leaves again

Awaken my ears Lord, to hear the sound of waves crashing on the beach
the call of the sea gulls and  the sweet chatter of little birds on the tree
Help me to listen to the whisper of the wind
the  clap of trees, and the buzz of bees
Let me hear all what  You want me to hear
And see what You want me to see
Let me not take anything for granted
but cherish and be thankful for everything You've created.

O Woman of Little Faith

O woman of little faith,
Has the Lord ever failed you?
When trouble and trials come your way
Why do you panic and tend to forget His goodness.


Have you forgotten how He has led you
How He walked ahead and paved the way for you to follow
Have you so easily forgotten the storms He stopped
And the clouds He cleared and the sunshine He brought to your path.


O woman of little faith
Look at the past if you're in doubt
Know that the One who helped you then
He is sure to help you now too.


Be still and know that He's God
How it must wound His gracious heart
To see your worried face and anxious brow
In the days of trouble and uncertainties.


Oh,have faith in the Lord, poor woman
Doubt Him not any longer, for it grieves His heart
Commit your way unto the Lord
And trust Him with all your heart all the way!

It's Your Grace, Lord!

It's my daughter's birthday today, my Lord
Twenty four years back, You gifted her to me
She came two months early, a tiny baby, barely weighing four pounds
I couldn't even hold her in my hand to caress and kiss her face
Wrapped up in tubes and cushioned inside a small incubator
they brought her to show me and wheeled her back in a hurry
to another hospital to give her a better neo-natal care.
The doctor gave me forty eight hours to make sure
she'd pulled it through or not.
She's a girl, a fighter, so don't worry, he comforted me

I was shaken, broken and cracked open
What would I do?
How would I bear to see my little one suffer?
I sought no help, but You, you alone
I bathed Your feet with my tears
Wailed in fear day and night

You, in Your mercy may have looked at me with pity
"O woman of little faith, why are you so fearful?'
you may have said with a smile on Your face.
You, who holds our furture in our hands
Knew it well, then,and now what's out there
for my baby in the future.
You had drawn out her plan in the palm of Your hand
And it would have looked silly to see me cry and panic in vain
Me, who profess to have faith, acting like one who doesn't believe
By my fear, I may have even grieved You a lot
But, You who understands a mother's heart
Kept on giving me comfort and grace through out those years.

Today, when I see my daughter, my heart rejoices with pride
How beautiful and lovely woman, she has grown
And how much love and joy she has brought to me and others.
It's all Your grace my Lord, it's all Your grace.
She's your gift to us, and I pray that we've done a good job with her
By bringing up in the faith and grooming her with love and intergrity.
On this day of her birthday, I pray that You'll bless her with all blessings
So that she'll become a blessing to all around her.
Shield her with Your preotection, guide her in Your path
Teach her Your ways and empower her with Your spirit for Your purpose.

Isn't Knowing God Eternal Life?

Eternal God
We are so blessed to come to know You
Through Your Son Jesus Christ
Who has promised us eternal life
If we abide in Him and He in us.

Is Eternal life, a ticket to heaven
As we believe, brag and take content?
Or is it much more than that
Which our human mind cannot comprehend to explain?

Apostle John in his gospel -chapter 17:3
Has written," Now this is eternal life
that they may know You the only
True God and Jesus Christ, Your Son.

If that's what it truly means
Our eternal life begins here on earth
From the time we got saved from eternal death
And made Christ as our Lord and Saviour.

It does mean that we don't need to wait to go to heaven
To have the blessing of eternal life.
If knowing God and Christ is eternal life
Then it starts here, where I live
Knowing God and rejoicing in His presence
We can do it here on earth
Continue to do it up in heaven .
The only difference, we will be
Flat on our faces before the Lord on theWhite Throne
Singing Hallelujah along with throng of angels.

Lord, You be in charge of my life

Lord,
I thank You for making me belong to You
I thank You that You know what today and tomorrow hold for me
I pray that You'll use me today for Your glory
In a small or big way as it pleases You.

I pray that I'll yield myself for You to shine through me
So that someone will be blessed in someway.
Cleanse me Lord, from everything that
Hinder my fellowship with You
Fill me with Thy spirit today so that
You, not me, be in the control tower of my daily life.

(Billy Graham's model of prayer.)

Come to Our Rescue, Lord

Once again we are standing at the edge of the cliff, Lord
Waiting for You to come and rescue us.
It's the same old, same old cycle
Anxiety sets in, what if's? keep us awake at night
We pray, plead and await in faith
For we know no other way.

And, then You show up as always
Not surprisingly at the very last moment
When all around looks so bleak
And hope is almost threatening to pull away.
It's at that time, You choose to step in
Not anytime earlier or a day later
Maybe it's Your amusing way of parenting
Teaching us to trust You all the way.

I've yet to see a time You've failed to show up
No, never have You done that
For it's not Your style, nor Your character.
Delays-maybe. No's at times
But everytime, You've proven to be trusted
Our road back in the review mirror does tell us so.

So, here we are Lord, waiting for You to show up
Help us and lead us, for we seek no other help
Yours is the best and the very best for us
Heed to our heart cry and hear our sighs and pleas
Come to our aid, Sovereign Lord
Come to rescue us and bless us grow and prosper in our work.

Was it worth, my Lord?

King of kings, Lord of lords
Who left Your throne in heaven
And came down to save sinners like me.
You, the Son of God-the righteous One
You stood bound and silent, a  crown of thorns on head
Slapped, mocked and bleeding
Standing before Pilate-a mere governer of Rome.

If thou willed, an army of angels would have come to your rescue
Yet, You chose the hard way, the path of a painful Cross
And drank the cup of obedience to the will of Your Father.
The One who rides in a white horse, jewelled crown on Your head
And hailed by multitude of angels day and night in heaven
Rode on a donkey to the shouts of men to Jerusalem
And heard the mockering of many on Your way to Golgotha.

Why Lord? Why?
Why did You choose to suffer for us, the humankind
Was it worth that suffering for such undeserving
Who doubt and question You and Your words even today.
You showed the way of love and life
But we prefer to choose our own ways.
Churches are growing, Bibles are being read
Yet, are we living the way You want us to live?

Was it worth my Lord, was it worth the suffering
You endured to save a rebellious world like ours?
