Where I'm Going - Marijohn Wilkin (1975)

I know not what my future holds,
Lord, I have no way of knowing,
But I know the One,
Who holds my future;
And I have no fear of where I'm going.

Sometimes it seems like I'm standing still,
Until I look back and see,
How deep my valleys,
How high the hills;
And each step nearer to Eternity.

Sometimes my friends misunderstand,
Cause I hear the sound of a different drummer,
But I know my life,
Is in His hands;
Just as sure as Autumn follows Summer.

I know not what my future holds,
Lord, I have no way of knowing,
But I know the One,
Who holds my future;
And I have no fear of where I'm going.

Behold My Servant...


"Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
And the coastlands shall wait for His law."

- Isaiah 42:1-4

Call unto Me

1Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 "Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name): 3 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'

- Jeremiah 33:1-3

Into the wilderness

The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon

1Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

Satan Thrown Out of Heaven

7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for [fn1] them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

The Woman Persecuted

13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus [fn2] Christ.

As an eagle stirs up it's nest...

7 "Remember the days of old,
Consider the years of many generations.
Ask your father, and he will show you;
Your elders, and they will tell you:
8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations,
When He separated the sons of Adam,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the LORD's portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.
10 "He found him in a desert land
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
He kept him as the apple of His eye.
11 As an eagle stirs up its nest,
Hovers over its young,
Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
Carrying them on its wings,
12 So the Lord alone led him,
And there was no foreign god with him.
13 "He made him ride in the heights of the earth,
That he might eat the produce of the fields;
He made him draw honey from the rock,
And oil from the flinty rock;
14 Curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock,
With fat of lambs;
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the choicest wheat;
And you drank wine, the blood of the grapes.

- Deuteronomy 32:7-14

Heart Like David - Kevin Prosch, Kiss the Son (1996)

I got me a pad and pencil, and this jar of ink;
I'm gonna write me a song of grace now,
To stop and make me think.
Keep me in Your sights Lord;
And never let me go;
Don't take Your Spirit from me;
Make me sensitive to You, to You, to You.

And give me a heart like David,
Passionate and true;
And give me the eyes of Heaven;
So I could see only see You.

Those who cling to worthless idols;
Forfeit the grace that could be theirs...could be theirs;

Though we've been apart, Lord;
We've also been together;
Together in this place, lay the secrets of Your heart;
And it's just Your voice, Lord;
And touch I miss the most.

I'm as weak as dust, Lord;
Is that You coming close?
Coming, coming close.

Give me a heart like David,
Passionate and true;
Give me the eyes of Heaven,
So I could see only see You.

I want to play the music, Lord;
That lies within Your heart;
And drink from the river of Your pleasure;
For the rest of my life.

Those who say there is no God...
Forget about the breath they breathe;
If they only knew You like I know You;
They would see,
Yes, they would see.

Troublemakers

Troublemakers, or as we like to refer to them at Big Science Academy, “The Expelled”…are seemingly everywhere these days. You know the type – they always want to “challenge” the established order and are always in a “questioning” mode. Especially when it comes to science.The latest “rage” among these Free Speech types is the misguided notion of Intelligent Design, which holds that perhaps life on earth isn’t just an “accident,” and that new evidence is mounting, suggesting some sort of underlying order to the universe, an intelligent “design” and so on and so forth.Crazy as it may seem, these “cranks” will start questioning atheism, next thing you know!Fortunately, as you will see in the links listed below – our “graduates” in the nation’s schools, universities, judiciary and government institutions are making sure that these “Expelled” types are rightfully marginalized.With the help of our friends in “Big Media” and the secularist courts – these self-styled Newtons and Einsteins are being denied tenure, ridiculed and in some cases fired, for their ridiculous beliefs and groundless suppositions.
