The Mustard Seed Of Faith

February 28, 2014 ~ Suzanne Davis Harden ~ 2 Comments

Lord, thank You that You see and know
All our deepest needs;
Jesus, may You sow in me
The Faith of a mustard seed.

You said if we had faith as small
As just a tiny seed,
Then we could move our mountains
And accomplish mighty deeds.

Lord, help me have the faith I need
To know and do Thy will,
To cling to Thee amid the storms
In patience to be still…

Lord, help me have the faith I need
To drown the doubts and fears
That come like waves to overwhelm…
Lord, help me persevere.

Lord, You see and know our needs
Lord Jesus, God of grace,
I pray You’ll give to me Thy gift
Of the mustard seed of faith.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

God Is In Control

Lord, Thou Art In Control

Lord Jesus, Thou art in control
No matter how things appear;
Help me trust and walk by faith,
My road will soon be clear;
For my prayers You always hear,
You know what’s best for every soul
And You are ever near.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

Christ Prays For You

Hebrews 7:25
“Therefore Christ is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

Romans 8:34
“Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”

Thank You, Lord, For Praying…

Thank You, Christ, my Savior,
Though none may know my name,
You are up in Heaven, Lord,
And there for me You pray.
You know all of my needs,
You’re with me everywhere,
You love me more than I could know
And for me deeply care.

And every night and day
You’re praying for my needs,
You know them all, yes every one,
Not one can hide from Thee.
And when I sometimes fall
You come and help me stand;
You don’t condemn, you just forgive
And wash me clean again.

Oh Jesus, this I know,
Though none might for me pray
You are praying for me, Lord,
Yes, every night and day.
And I will thank You, Lord,
For You know all my cares,
And You are ever in control,
Who prays and hears our prayers.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

The Choice

Mark 10:21-22
Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him,
“One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up thy cross, and follow Me.”
But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

“Good Teacher,” said the young man,
“What must I do to be saved?”
And Jesus looked in His eyes
He loved the young man He’d made.

And Jesus looked in His eyes,
Though rich, the man was a slave;
Now seeking the things of God;
Jesus loved the man He had made.

And Jesus looked into His eyes
“And so you seek to be saved…”
Keep the commandments of God—
All of the ones He gave…”
The young man stood up tall
And He looked at the Lord with pride,
“I’ve kept them all from my youth,
Yes, since I was a little child.”

And Jesus peered in His eyes,
Looked deep in His very soul,
“One thing, My son, you lack,
And then you’ll be made whole.”

The man looked up at Jesus,
His eyes a puzzled stare,
“Give all you have to the poor, My son,
Then follow Me everywhere.”
Trade your earthly riches
For those you cannot see…
Let go of all you have, My son,

And come and follow Me.
My son, come follow Me,
And give to Me your life,
And I will meet your every need;
I’ll never leave your side.
Don’t trust in what you see,
Don’t trust in what you have;
Trust in One who gives good things
To those with faith to ask.

My love will carry you
Down every path you take;
I’ll carry you to heaven,
Your heart I won’t forsake.”

The young man looked at Jesus,
Then sadly walked away.
He would not trade His riches
For the Savior’s path of faith.
He would not trade His riches
For the heart of Jesus’ love,
And He walked away from Jesus
Choosing wealth over God above.
