Poetic Sermons
Lord I seek you in the morning, I seek you in the night
I have removed things not pleasing to you from my sight
Your word is more than life to me, it is my very breath
I will not turn my eyes from you to the right or to the left
Your command is the rule by which my house hold is ran
By your grace I live, and by your power I stand
I have fortified the walls of my heart with your love
Which is as fierce as a lion yet as gentle as a dove
Because of this now my enemy encamps on every side
But my strength is in my God so I will not run or hide
My circumstances taunt me, they prepare to lay siege
They build ramps with diagnosis, unemployment, and need
They pile up statistics, past failures, guilt, and shame
I’m surrounded by critics who scandalize my name
Help me O Lord my God, I rest in only you
The God who can save by many or by few
In your name alone I go to battle against the enemy
By faith I have already attained the victory
I rejoice in the situation, I will praise in the circumstance
I will exalt the name of my God through song and dance
The joy of the Lord is strength, this earth is not my home
The enemy may rise against me but my God is on the throne
My faith is in the Lord and the plans He has for me
Since it is He who fights my battles, I have the victory
2 Chronicles 14:2-12
