Seek the Face of Yahweh our God Poem 20

Poem. 20

I seek the Face of Yahweh my God
Look at me Lord, with Your merciful eyes
Lord, bless thee, glorify thee, and adore thee,
In the day, in the night, and my entire life

I trust in You, my Lord, my God
I love You with all my heart,
Lord, I give You thanks, for Your mercy on me
Fill my heart with joy and tears of Your love

Lord, I am an unworthy servant of Your garden
Lord, let me produce the good fruits of Your eternity
As You said from the beginning of my creation
In the beginning before I conceived in my mother’s womb

Lord, You do not forget Israel, Your chosen race
Do not forget Jacob your beloved
Let Your Face shine on us and save us
Yes, Lord we shall be saved; when Your glory comes

A song of our pilgrimage to a New Jerusalem Poem 19

Poem -19


We are the children, of Israel O’ lord
We are in your Land, of your dwelling place.
Lord, you do not forget; Jacob your servant,
Blessed be the house of David, your servant.
Lord, teach us the way; how to serve you,
Pour your mercy on us and save us.
Make us understand your secrets and your covenant
And help us to share, your inheritance.

Lord, we can do nothing; with out you 
You are the King, of eternal glory.
Save your servant Jacob and his flocks,
Show them the way; you like to do.

Lord, lead us to the city, of New Jerusalem,
Where the angels and saints are praising you unceasingly
Let our mind and heart be fill with your joy
When we see your glory and might, face to face

I love You, Lord, of my ancestors Poem 18

Poem - 18

I love You, Lord, of my ancestors
May I honor You O' Lord with all my strength
May I  sing a new song to honor You
Lord, I pay homage to You in this foreign land

Lord, how can I serve You
In the midst of an alien nation
I feel, I must keep quiet and say nothing
But how can I keep my mouth shut

My heart and my bones are burning
With the fire of your love
I may wound myself to show you my love
I will sing and praise Your Holy Name

O, Lord, the beauty of your House amazes me
The Holy Sanctuary where your Holy of Holies resides
Is most precious in my sight while I kneel before You
How beautiful your dwelling place

Lord, You looked at me from your Holy Tabernacle
Your Mercy and Love engulf me all the time
Lord, You lit the Candle of love in my heart
To burn away all my malice and weakness

Your House is the model of paradise
The angels and saints are gathered here
To worship you in Spirit and Truth
And to dwell with You is my eternal happiness.

The rampart of your House is beautiful
Day after day we come to worship You
In Your House we gather whole heartedly
May my musings be pleasing to You

Lord You made me, to know You.
Accepting Your Holy Word whole heartedly
Came not by my own goodness or power
But by Your Mercy Lord, You made a home in me.

Lord, may be this might be my last day on earth Poem 17


Poem - 17

Lord, may be this might be my last day on earth!

Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to worship You
But you still love me, and you love all without any difference
Lord, you gave me today Your Body and Blood to nourish me
Lord, this was Your promise to give me the eternal life

Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to remember Your mercy
Your mercy engulf me with many blessings
But I am wretched and poor, look for unworthy worldly things
Lord, You gave me one more day on earth to glorify You

Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to work for You
How I spent my worthy time with many things of this world
You told me "But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen
You are descendent  of Abraham my friend,

Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to love You
'Whom I have taken to myself, from the remotest parts of the earth
And summoned from countries far away,
To whom I have said, ‘You are my servant, I have chosen you,
I have not rejected you,’ do not be afraid,
For I am with you; do not be alarmed, for I am your God
I give you strength and courage truly I help you,
Truly I hold you firm with my saving right hand.'

Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to make music for You
Lord, let me sing a new song to you in the midst of Your holy people
May I sing the songs to bless Your Holy Name
You are most worthy and more awesome than any other gods
Look, all those who rage against you will be put to shame
Lord, you made many humiliated those who hurt me
Lord, pardon them, they do not know what they are doing.

Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to be an instrument for You
Lord said, "those quarrels with you will be reduced to nothing
You will look for them but will not find them,
Those who used to fight you will be destroyed and brought to nothing,
Those who made war on you will be perished
Lord, bless those who persecuted me on earth,
They are my benefactors to help me to climb the divine ladder.

Lord, may be this is my last day to honour You on earth
"For I, Lord, your God, I grasp you by your  right hand;
I tell you, ‘Do not be afraid, I shall help you."
Lord, You honour me by giving me the knowledge about You

Lord, may be this is my last day to glorify You on earth
Lord, still am not able to do, what You ask me to do
But am a useless servant, done no more than my duty
Lord, when can I leave this world; to reach in Your presence

Oh Come God’s Holy People Poem 16



Poem-16

Come O’ come God’s holy people
Let us praise His Holy Name
Let us go to His Holy Temple,
In Bethlehem where our Saviour was born

          All saints and angels are gathered here,
          To visit our Mighty King in a manger
          Let us praise our Father in Heaven
          For His wonderful gift to all nations

Lord let us enter into that door of humility
To achieve the goal of entering your presence
Lord, your angels and saints are waiting for us
To guide us to climb your Holy Mountain

Lord; give us the holy tears
By fill our hearts with repentance
Lord; the tears are your blessing
To make your holy men humble and meek

God's Holy Face

Part III

Lord, do not hide your face away from me, Lord my saviour. I am trembling with the fear of You. Lord, I am blessed with a wonderful companion, Your Mother and mine as well. My earthly life will be fade away at any time, like the breath stay for a moment ‘For I am your servant, son of your serving maid, a feeble man with little time to live, with small understanding of justice and the laws’. (Wis. 9: 5)

Lord, You turn Your Face to the upright and never abandoned him in the wilderness. Lord, look at me and pour Your Mercy on me a sinner. For Yahweh is upright and loves uprightness, the honest will ever see his face.’ (Ps. 11: 7)

Lord, when I am in the way of holiness and with the love of you I could see you in wonderful visions of Your mysteries ‘But I am my uprightness will see your face, and when I awake I shall be filled with the vision of you. (Ps. 17:15)

Lord, you always heard my prayer and answered me. ‘For he has not despised nor disregarded the poverty of the poor, has not turned away his face, but has listened to the cry for help’ (Ps. 22: 24)

My saviour and my Lord do not reject me from your kingdom, and do not forsake me.
‘Yahweh hear my voice as I cry, pity me answer me! Of you my heart has said, ‘seek his face!’ Your face, Yahweh, I seek; do not turn away from me. Do not thrust aside your servant in anger, without you I am helpless. Never leave me; never forsake me, God my saviour.’(Ps. 27: 8-9)

Lord, fix your eyes on me and make me shine in your presence. ‘Let your face shine on your servant, save me in your faithful love’ (Ps. 31: 16)

Lord, you said to David you never take away your eyes from him, Lord, instruct me and teach me your statues to stay in your presence. ‘I shall instruct you and teach you the way to go; I shall not take my eyes off you’ (Ps. 32: 8)

Yahweh’s eyes are always on the upright one; those who are doing the will of God. Lord, where can we hide from you, your eyes has the power of ten thousand folds of the light of Sun. Lord, mould my heart to make a home for you.   
‘From heaven Yahweh looks down, he sees all the children of Adam,
From the place where he sits he watches
All who do dwell on the earth?
He alone moulds their hearts,
He understands all they do.’(Ps.33: 13-15)

Lord, I am fixing my eyes on your mighty glory; send your light on me and save me. ‘Fix your gaze on Yahweh and your face will grow bright; you will never hang your head in shame.’(Ps. 34: 5)

But Lord, you fix your eyes on those who do evil. But Yahweh’s face is set against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.’(Ps. 34:16)

Lord, when I can see your face? I thirst for God, the living God; when shall I go to see the face of God?’(Ps. 42: 2)

Lord, do not hide your face from me; otherwise I will lose my hope in You. ‘Why do you turn face away, forgetting that we are poor and harassed?’(Ps. 44:24)

Lord, pardon my sins and cleanse me from all evil I do. Turn away your face from my sins, and wipe away all my guilt.’(Ps. 51: 9)


Lord, your eyes are always looking the men who are asking your mercy. Bless us Lord and fill our heart with the thirst to seek you. Lord, open the heart and mind of your children to seek you wholeheartedly. ‘God looks down from heaven at the children of Adam, to see if single one is wise, a single one seeks God.’(Ps. 53: 2).But to whom shall He looks? Lord, make me humble, give me the true Godly repentance, and make my heart tremble by hearing Your Holy Word. ‘But my eyes are drawn to the person of humble and contrite spirit, who trembles at my word’ Is. 66.2. Lord fills our heart with His fear and love. Lord, let your love pour on us and let us shine like the bright stars in the sky. ‘God Sabaoth, bring us back, let your face shine on us and we shall be safe.’(Ps. 80: 7, 80: 19)
