Lord, Let me seek Your Word of Freedom Poem 21

Poem - 21

Part I

Lord, how can I thank you for the gifts you endowed to me
To know You and be with You is the greatest gift on earth
Lord, I thank You for everything You gave me
Lord, I thank You for choosing me from far ends of the earth

How can I keep my ways spotless? By keeping Your Word
Lord, You taught me to keep your Word in my heart
To avoid sinning against You the Holy One
I do not forget Your Words, to find delight in Your will.

Lord I have repeated Your judgments and found joy in Your instructions
Your Words are beyond all the wealth on earth
Let me ponder Your percepts and fix my gaze on Your paths
Lord, let me find delight in Your will and will not forget Your Words.

Lord, I lie prostrate in the dust and with Your Word revive me
Lord, avert my eyes from pointless images; by Your Word give me life.
Let me rely on Your Word and keep the promise to Your servant,
By Your faithful love come to save me, the malicious enemy

Lord, teach me Your holy ways to obey You
Lord, Show me the way of Your own precepts
Let me reflect on Your blessings and wonders,
Am melting away for grief; by Your truthful Word, raise me up.
Give me an answer to the taunts against me, since I rely on Your Holy Word.
Lord, let me live in all freedom because I have sought Your precepts.
Your commandments Lord, fills me with delight and love them dearly,
Your judgments are my song where am live in exile.

Lord, keep my eyes away from seeing the unworthy images of this world
Lord, let me keep Your percepts in my heart
May Your mercy and love consume me?
By Your saving justice give me life

Give me an answer to the taunts against me, since I rely on Your Word,
Do not take Your faithful Word away from me, since my hope lies in your judgements.
I have kept your age-old judgements in mind, Yahweh, and I am comforted.
All night, Yahweh, I hold Your name in mind, I keep Your Law.

You are generous and act generously, teach me Your will,
 It was good for me that to suffer, better to learn Your judgments.
The Law You have uttered is more precious to me than all the wealth in the world.
Lord, let those who fear You rejoice, since we put our hope in Your word.
Your faithful love is my consolation, as You have promised Your servant.
Lord, let me wear Your rob of salvation, because Your word is my hope.
Lord, Your Word is planted firm in Heaven and we praise Your constant love
We have seen that Your perfection is infinite, and Your commandment has no limit.

Lord, I shall never ashamed to proclaim Your truth in front of kings,
Your commandments; fills me with Your delight
I love Your precepts more than anything this world,
And I stretch out my hands and proclaim Your commandments which I love

Lord, You made me wiser than all my teachers because I ponder Your Word.
Let my foot restrain from evil paths to keep Your Holy Word.
Lord, from Your precepts l learn wisdom, so I hate all deceptive ways,
Your word is a lamp for my feet and light on my path.

I hurry without delay to keep Your commandments.
At midnight I rise to praise you for Your upright judgements.
Your faithful love fills the earth, Yahweh, teach me Your judgments.
All Your commandments show constancy, help me when they pursue me dishonestly.

All the night Lord, hold Your name in my mind and keep Your Law.
My only ambition, Lord, is to keep Your Word.
At midnight let me rise to praise You for Your upright judgments,
Your faithful love fills the earth, Yahweh, teach me Your judgments.

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

To achieve the goal of entering your presence

To guide us to climb your Holy Mountain

To make your holy men humble and meek
