Once, a long time ago, I did not know which way to go. I sat at my Lord's feet Feeling sad, incomplete, And, yes, very much in defeat. I began to pray and said, "Lord, You know I seek You every day. What has gone wrong? Why am I not that strong? I seem to miss my blessings. The things I desire are passing And there is lack, With a stack of bills on my table. Why do I not feel able? I cannot believe this is Your will For me to be in poverty. That is why I call on Your sovereignty." He reached out His hand And said, "What do you see"? There was a scar that did mar The beauty of His hand. The remnant of the nail driven Through His hand left its trace. But as I looked to His face, Somehow, someway, I felt I could understand. Yet, this seemed so strange and beyond me. I could only answer honestly. "Lord," I said with a sigh That made me want to cry, "I see what You took for me That left its mark. But, I am not in the dark. There is light and I have sight. Yet, Your hand is healed, but empty. Oh, Lord, all I know is I love you so." "Oh, yes, my child, you do see," He said, tenderly, as He reached out So very kind and, with His hand, Touched my mind. As He did pray, I knew that was the way. "Through the Spirit, You will now hear it and understand. With Me, you can." Though it seems My hand is empty, There are blessings therein That are within your reach. You can win, as you seek Me all with your heart and soul, Making knowing Me your goal ... Not only for what I provide But, putting all else aside, Listen and hear for what I will bring Will bring you good cheer. Seek ye first My kingdom, The Kingdom of God. All these things will be added As you let love be hallowed. The root produces the fruit Not seen by natural eyes, But is hidden in disguise. Love is seen when You heed the call, For, that is My goal to love all. As your life is hidden in I, the Christ, The root of Me lives within ~ Freeing you from the oppression of sin. The fruit of my Father Can cause Your soul to prosper With living water and "Sonshine"; Sweet holy truth divine." In all things, I know His blessings will show; Seen in the natural, they will overflow. Thus saith the Lord, "In faith, My child, you will be restored. Your prayer is not ignored. You will see the fruit of blessings As I take away the cursings. For in the unseen, I am working Behind the scenes. But, it all begins, though with a seed, And as an offering ... For My gospel, So all will know that I am God And will show you the way to go ... To create a root, that produces the fruit That brings the blessings. For, My gospel will go From each side of the earth, To the top and to the bottom. When the message is heard, The holy word has gone forward, All who are Mine will have overcome. But you must come forth And bring Me an offering That will bring glory to me. For, I am your King. This will show Me I am worth your offering. For, a persons money can Be sweet as honey or bitter, If spent on something phony. Now that you know the way to go, Show Me your faithful offerings And I will bring the blessings." I just knew, what I heard was true. I receive, for I perceive the Spirit of the Lord Can cause me to grow. This I know. For, it is faith in Him Where the blessings begin, At the seed to the root of His love. My blessings come from up above.
