Flowing Waters By Brenda Drake

Flowing Waters

When the ground is parched and it moisture needs
Flowing water is a welcome sight to see.
Water brings abundance to the lifeless place.
New life rises up from the dry place.
Flower’s spring forth; aroma fills the air;
Singing birds dwell in the foliage growing there.
As this is, a soul is; when they are dry within,
Living Water of God makes it live again.
Joy is delivered; God’s goodness abounds,
When, His life-giving moisture touches dry ground.
The life of the thirsting-man is made whole.
The desirous are thankful when brought to the river’s flow.
Springs of joy cause the bloom of praise inside;
Peace fills the air where the Lord abides.
God’s love the redeemed wish to share;
His beauty is yet to be compared.
Come, to the water drink some more,
Drink freely of the provision provided by the Lord

Psalms 63:1-5
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

NO Muddy Waters By Brenda Drake

            In the sinful world it is a hard to stay clean.  With God we are able to not only stay clean we are able to show others how too.  Because of Jesus work on the cross we are free from the foul hold of the world and the dangers of its sinful, murky waters.  Because of Jesus we are able to live and to drink daily of His goodness. 

No Muddy Waters

Muddy waters are a murky place to be;
It is no place to try to stay clean.
The world tries to pass some areas as best.
But they will never pass God’s stink test.
The rich and famous may gather all dressed up fine,
Very comfortable and seemingly having a great time,
But the waters are muddy filled with debris,
They are foul and displeasing to Christ the King.
Some make plans to take advantage of the time;
By wadding in the world’s murk and grime.
Foul jokes, lies, with lust and greed there;
Proud looks haughty; superior attitudes are with each other shared.
The muddy, murky waters are in other places too.
But God has given great ability to you.
With a life dedicated to God and a prepared place for Him to dwell,
You have a river flowing; living waters from a deeper well.
You are able to live in the world of mire,
With heart pure filled with humble desire.
Wrong attitudes and the traps of sin,
Are quickly repented so harmful waters are not taken in.
The world offers its worst and its best to tempt and steal souls.
But have no fear of the dark waters of the evil one when God is in control.

1 John 2:15-16
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Come to the Fountain By Brenda Drake

There is no more precious place than in the flow of the Spirit.  Every good blessing is found there; joy, peace, and contentment are just the beginning of the benefits of God’s gift of Salvation.  Oh how I love to enter the presence of God; the Word of God fills with Living Water every day.

Come to the Fountain

Come to the fountain, Living Water is found there.
It gives you strength to show how much God cares.
When you come to this place I tell
Thirst is quenched and great peace inside dwells.
Joy visits as righteousness lives within
Hearts are reformed into the image of God again.
Living Water deeply satisfies,
For now the Spirit lives deep inside.
Come to the fountain; in God’s presence draw near,
Drink in wisdom; God’s Word chases away fear.
Despair is no more for Jesus provided the way,
To drink all you thirst for until He returns on that great day.

Psalms 36:9
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Isaiah 12:3
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

John 4:14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

The Rain Drop By Brenda Drake

When we were young we would play in the rain, when older we run to get out of the rain.  As God’s chosen we pray for His love to rain on us.  I desire to soak in His love.  Lord, rain Your love on me.

The Rain Drop

Precious is the rain drop in the dry place.
Precious to all the world is God’s grace.
God’s grace is more valuable than any other thing.
It comes from a heart that gave everything.
The love of the Father is manifested in the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus was sacrificed to be the answer for our life.
He was sent to give life to those not alive anymore.
He died to save the fallen, the diseased, and the poor.
He is the rain that waters the earth.
He is the living water that gives the dead and dry rebirth.
The Precious Rain is multiplied again and again,
As He gives new life to you, you become more of Him.
The Church: a river of raindrops; flows to show God’s grace.
They water more and more of the desert place.
One day the Lord shall gather every reborn-soul,
Then the full love and mercy of God on them overflows.
They will be as a sea of glass, with multitudes inside;
Such a glorious picture; forever as Jesus’ bride.

I John 3:16
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Isaiah 32:2
And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

Be As a Fountain By Brenda Drake

One of the most wonderful things I experienced after Jesus became my Savior was a flushing, rushing feeling of a mighty river flowing inside of me.  It lasted for quite a long time.  I longed for it to continue forever.  Perhaps it still is bubbling through me and I no longer am able to feel it.  By faith I believe it is still roaring with the presence of my Lord within me.

Be as a Fountain

There is a fountain that bubbles inside deep,
It flows as a river to the Saviors feet.
Gather together if you will,
To allow the Spirit to infill.
The cup of pleasure tastes sweeter than wine,
As you come to my table to dine.
I will wash over you with my presence, wrong is no more.
You are as pure and as clean as the risen Lord.
As you bow down at the alter placed at my feet,
I accept your offering and administer peace.
I will pour good inside to insure you remain strong,
So you are able to cope, victorious in a world gone wrong.
I help you lead another to the fountain of life,
As you become an ambassador for Christ.
Becoming a flowing stream to quench the thirst of another lost soul
A child of the living God, that from God’s fountain flows.

John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
