GOING HIGHER    (April 9)
 
There was a day when I was down,
And not much fun to be around.
I called out to the Lord on high,
“Help me, God, I don’t know why…
Things feel so heavy in my life,
There’s too much stress and too much strife.”
 
Then Jesus gently looked at me,
“I’ll show you what I call you to be,
The faithful one who stands on My Word,
Who trusts in Me, and the Truth you’ve heard.
I AM the One who fights your battles.
Praise My Name and the enemy rattles.
He knows he has no power over you,
As you agree that My Word is true.”
 
I lifted up my head and began to shout,
“Praise the Lord, I will not doubt,
God is mighty, Christ is true!
He turns the enemy into stew!
Praise the Lord, I will not fear,
Christ the Savior is always here!
Praise the Lord, He is so mighty,
He defeats the enemy and makes things tidy.”
 
Then the darkness began to lift,
In the atmosphere, I felt a shift,
The joy in my heart that had been stolen,
Returned to me, and it was golden!
Then I knew deep in my heart
That fighting battles is a sacred art,
And the powerful sword that I so desired,
Is the Word of God that lifts us higher,
And the praise that comes from our lips,
Is like giving God a holy kiss.

When terror rears its ugly face,
Call out to the One who gives you grace.
“Jesus Christ, I call upon your name,
There’s a wild beast for You to tame.”
 
“I AM with you, as you trust in your Savior,
I AM very strong, and you’ll see My favor.
Rest assured that what you face,
You will stand by the power of My grace.
 
“Let go of the problem, hand it to Me,
And in My power, you’ll see victory
Cause you’re not facing this problem alone,
The battle is Mine; I AM your home!”

Weariness comes upon me,
My eyelids want to close,
I need to do so much more,
But my body wants to doze.
 
“I see that you’re very tired,
Come to Me and rest,
For I, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Want you to have the best.
 
“Rest your head upon My Shoulder,
Let Me hold you for a while,
Feel the safety of Protective Arms,
Embrace My heavenly style.
 
“I know where you need to go,
And what you want to do,
Let us walk this earth together,
So your God provides for you.”

When anxiety and fear attempt to grab hold,
It’s time to STOP, and be very bold:
Savor your Savior, in actions and thoughts,
Rest in the Lord, like Jesus Christ taught.
 
“And you will discover the tunes of My grace,
That awakens your spirit to Heavenly tastes.
As I dance you out of the wind and the fire,
And fill your heart with wholesome desires.”
 
Round and round in joy and delight,
You and your God are a beautiful sight.
“I love you, My child, I love you so much,
I’m blessing you with a Heavenly touch.”
