The first note of true love

3 Mar

Lord, Your cross is where,

I heard the first note of true love.

At the cross of Calvary,

where you bore my sin and grieve

and purchased me: the slave of sin.

The lamb of God, slain for my sin

Became a sin offering to pour His life-

abundantly onto me.

Oh!This love overflows my heart

or I never can contain the depth:

Where you the Son of God,

In all your Majesty

ever thought to save me,

just a bit of dust on the face of earth…

In all your love and power-

you found me precious and redeemable

and brought your magnificent plans

come together in my life

and gave me this precious gift of salvation,

altogether free.

 

I was so much in need of you – Lord,

bonded, rejected,withdrawn…

crushed in my pew of darkness

far from your grace and mercy

I am glad you saw me there ,

in the darkest hour of my life

with your eyes full of compassion.

and held me so close to your heart,

engraved me on the palm of your hands;

like no one ever had,JESUS…

 

Your love have set me free:

When your note of love reached my ears,

they got open

the living water rushed to my soul.

As I saw your crucified image

my vision changed for ever.

I can perceive your love

now all through this nature.

Your love clothed me in honor and

your words added wisdom.

 

If ever I declined  in my love for you

restitute my soul

to the first note of your love.

 

In Christ Jesus,

Smitha Thomas.

Heavenly Guidance

9 Jan

 

Each day as I take this fleeting breath

I look unto you my Father

To uphold my spirit

With your love and wisdom.

I am unable to do this journey alone…

If I travel alone I may stumble 

But I need your guidance;

To fulfill my life in accordance with your desire …

Days are way too hard from oppression

Many times from my own conflicting thoughts

Which could defile my existence in you

Help me to overcome these stumbling blocks as I kneel down in prayer!

Let the mercy and grace you showered in my yesterdays,

Instill my thoughts today;

And equip me with faith and strength

To face my tomorrow.

Whisper in my ears,

As I seek your guidance Lord:

How to stride each day

By overruling  my vanity…

In Christ Jesus,

Smitha Thomas.
