Uniquely Peculiar

Lord Jesus, You gave me this mind
With flight of thought 5 lanes wide
All traveled at once.

Little fritzes, sputters and short circuits
Sparking, flashing and smoking
And generally full of static questions

My cerebrum, its occasional times
Of rare revelations grasped,
And burning, yet undisciplined creativity

A special gift from You.

Holy Spirit, I pray You'd remake and mold me
The mind of Christ within
Beautifully dominant

Yet the brush stroke of beauty You used
To make me uniquely me
Still evident with a fresh touch from

My Jesus' hand.

Gone, the stubborn, unyielding, willful me
Leaving to bloom in the beauty of Jesus
This peculiar person,

And all You intended "me" to be.


His Image in Us

Jesus came into my heart
He really set me free
And with His Spirit's fullness
Gave my spirit sweet liberty

'Twas for you and me He died
On that hill so long ago
And He put His image in us
So that all the world might know

He said to tell all nations
Of His great salvation plan
To share it with all we meet
Every woman, child and man

'Twas for you and me He died
On that hill so long ago
And He put His image in us
So that all the world might know

Does His image show in you?
Are you giving Him His way?
Do you shine with His light
Eagerly awaiting rapture day?

'Twas for you and me He died
On that hill so long ago
And He put His image in us
So that all the world might know
