Abiding Above In His Love by Debbie Harris

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved;

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:5-7 (KJV)

Every
moment
I must
make a
decision.
To dwell
in earthly
circumstances
or be lavished
in the light
of Christ’s love.

May we all
choose to
abide above
in our
eternal
positional
condition
not in our
dimly lit
earthly
condition.

Earthly condition?
Heavenly position?
We get to choose.
Abiding above brings
an eternal spiritual
freedom that Christ
longs to freely bestow.
Circumstantial abiding
alone brings perplexity,
anxiousness and woe.

Abide above,
abide above,
abide above,
may this be
our earthly
walk and
Heavenly
plea.

Abide above,
abide above,
abide above,
May we run
to our
Father’s
love.

May we
look to
Christ alone
for rest.

May our
internal
gaze on
Christ
and what
salvation’s
gift has
wrought in
our
hearts,
souls,
minds,
and lives
keep us
rooted,
grounded,
deeply grateful,
always humble,
that Christ
deeply loves,
delightfully
cherishes,
continually
and forever
draws us
closer to
abide above
in His
incomparable
majestic,
tender,
powerful,
transformative,
Christ centered,
Cross centered,
word centered,
never ending
cascading
LOVE!

My Heart Has Found A Home In You Oh Lord! by Debbie Harris

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

Psalm 37:7-9

My heart
has found
a home
in you Oh Lord,
in you Oh Lord!

My heart has found
a resting place
in you, Oh Lord
in you Oh Lord!

My heart has
found perfect
righteousness
in you Oh Lord,
in you Oh Lord!

My heart is
never alone
because of your
brilliant,
loving,
light giving,
trinitarian company
found in you oh Lord
in you oh Lord!

My heart has
found all the answers
I have ever sought
in you oh Lord,
in you oh Lord!

My heart has found
a trusted friend
in you Oh Lord
in you Oh Lord!

My heart has been
made forever new
in you Oh Lord,
in you Oh Lord.

My heart rejoices
in my royal
Christ given
imperial
position found
in you Oh Lord,
in you Oh Lord.

My heart
has found
a home
in you oh Lord,
in you oh Lord!

When We Wrestle Not With Flesh And Blood by Debbie Harris

10 Sunday Nov 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, which ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.

Ephesians 6:12-13 (KJV)

The Spirit of
our warrior
God within,
King of Kings
can never
be crushed,
bruised,
destroyed,
or broken.

For the Spirit
of our Warrior
God within,
Christ Jesus
delights in
winning our
every single
battle and
overcoming,
and defeating
our every foe
with His celestial
everlasting and
ceaseless love.

For the Spirit of
our warrior God
within our hearts
bids us give
Him every battle
while pursuing
peace with all
for He will
defend His
royal heirs
from those
that mean
them harm.

And while the
earthly battle
is forever raging
the eternal battle
is already won by
our Triune God
and the Heavenly
hosts of
angelic
legions
but while
on war
torn earth
He bids us,
as His royal
children,with
redeemed and
transformed
hearts of faith
to always,
forgive,
love and,
overcome
evil with
Christ’s
eternal gifts
of righteousness
and goodness
that dwell within
our transformed souls.

For this is His
blessed path
of victorious
righteousness
that always
brings the
child of faith
victory within
if we will
but humbly
pursue and
obediently
follow.

I Trust You Jesus by Debbie Harris

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also love thy name be joyful in thee.

For thou, O Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Psalms 5:11-12 (KJV)

I trust you Jesus when hearts are breaking!

I trust you Jesus through the unknowns.

I trust you Jesus in abundance and when in great need.

I trust you Jesus in the midst of great trials.

I trust you Jesus when on the stormy seas.

I trust you Jesus when all around is turmoil.

I trust you Jesus in the midst of mocking’s and jealousies.

I trust you Jesus when I am given favor.

I trust you Jesus when the favor of man cannot be seen.

I trust you Jesus in the midst of failures.

I trust you Jesus in the midst of success.

I trust you Jesus in the midst of great sorrow.

I trust you Jesus in the midst of great pain.

I trust you Jesus in the mist of great joy.

I trust you Jesus when earthly dreams come true or not.

I trust you Jesus.
I trust you Jesus.
I trust you Jesus.
For you alone knit me
together in my mother’s womb
and gave me the blessing
of life and breath.

I trust you my Jesus
with all that I am
with all that I have
to work out all things
together for my good.

I trust you my King of Kings.
I trust you precious Jesus,
Savior of the world
with everything!

I trust you Jesus!!

Running To The Throne Room Of God So We Can Be Filled With Christ’s Redemptive Love by Debbie Harris

10 Sunday Nov 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

To know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:19 (KJV)

And so when we
are weary
run to the
throne room
of our Abba Father,
Our home above
to breath in,
drink deeply,
be replenished,
be comforted,
be calmed,
be refreshed,
from our
Savior’s
abundant,
ceaseless,
incomparable,
amazing
unfailing
love.

And so I run
to Christ’s
multifaceted
perfect love
So that as we
live in this
world because
Christ is our
filling, our source,
we then can truly
give to others
His never-ending
resplendent love!

For as children
of the King of Kings
who have received
Salvation’s gift,
His limitless filling,
his eternal resources
are always abundantly
available to
any who call
for His faithful,
omnimpotent help.

Is this not humbling
and thrilling that the
God who created earthly
and heavenly beauty,
the God who has given
us life and breath,
who knows the
stars by name,
who knows our name,
the number of our days,
who delights in every
single step we take,
Christ Jesus, King of Kings,
author of salvation continually
pursues us with His exquisite,
transformative, redemptive love!

Not I But Christ by Debbie Harris

10 Sunday Nov 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: And the life which I now live in the flesh I’ve by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20 (KJV)

Not I but Christ
when one cannot go on
Not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when one’s best is
not good enough
Not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when the world hates
the righteousness
of Christ within
Not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when words and anger
assail and the emotional
sting is too much to bear
Not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when earthly burdens
of sickness, pain,
loss, doubt,
worry and fear
Seem to heavy
a load to carry
Not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when we are
marginalized,
minimized,
and disdained
because the
light and love
of Christ
lights up
our hearts,
lives,and minds,
Not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when jealousy is cruel
And shame and mocking
is demonically sent
to bring us down.
Not I but Christ is
the victorious song
that calls the saint
to go higher still
to fellowship with
God who truly delights
in our Christ given
robes of righteousness.
Not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when our hearts
are so filled
with earthly
cares,tears,
and sighs and
burdens of others
Not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
Not I but Christ
Not I but Christ
Is the triumphant
song of my heart
that can never be
crushed, bruised
shaken or broken.

For no matter
what comes
my heart,
soul and mind
will fully
lean into
the limitless
strength
of our
omnipotent,
omniscient,
omnipresent
triune God.

Not I but Christ
is our
victorious
mindset of
triumphant
faith that
puts our feet
of clay upon the
solid rock Of
Jesus Christ,
our risen Lord.

Not I but Christ,
Not I but Christ,
Not I but Christ
is the glorious
Christ given
mindset of
courageous
faith.

Would We Respond Differently ? by Debbie Harris

10 Sunday Nov 2013

Would we respond
differently
if we knew
that our
response
to a
brother
or sister
or an
unsaved
soul
would
ultimately
change
their view
of God
or their
opinion
of who
Jesus
really is?
Would we
respond
differently?

What If? by Debbie Harris

10 Sunday Nov 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

What if because
of God’s lavish
grace to us, that
we in all the blessed
moments we have
left on this earth
dare to boldly
demonstrate,
live out,
embody the
grace and love
we have been
so mercifully
been given?

Would not
we see
on the
shores of
redeemed
humanity
lavish waves
of redemptive
grace upon grace
and love poured
out upon the
lanscapes
of hearts,
souls and
lives
who need
to see
Jesus Christ
living in
and through
you and me?

What if?
