It is Settled By Brenda Drake

I remember singing a song in Church years ago that stated, I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back.  It was a song of settling.  The decision was made and my face was like flint.  I was not entertaining any other way.  Jesus was my way.  He still is; now I know the Word and agree with it.  It is settled I am what it says I am and I can do what it says I can do.

It Is Settled

Settle deep within me the kind of peace,
That causes to Your kingdom increase.
With heart and mind settled upon the Word,
To be at peace even when chaos occurs.
Settle my emotions to reflect faith’s stand;
At watch and waiting for God’s command.
Mark my path with confidence fully assured,
For it is the way safe and secure.
As I rest in Your care,
Give me ability to successfully share,
All You have given me.
Lord set me free from greed.
Make me not under a basket turned upside down,
But like a light on a hill set on higher ground.
Settle my heart, steadfast in life’s winds,
Connected to love, filled with Jesus within.
My Lord, Savior and Lover of my Soul,
Walk with me, in and through me in places high and low,
It is settled; nothing can or will pull me astray,
For You settled it at the cross when my sin-debt You paid.

Psalms 119:88-89
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

No Turning Back By Brenda Drake

I remember well the day I cemented my commitment to the Lord.  I made up my mind I will not turn back.  I have never regretted my decision.  When times get hard I rely on His help to keep me true to my pledge.  The Word of God reminds me of my place in Him and the promises of His provisions.

No Turning Back

No turning back, no looking back, onward I go.
Nothing or anyone will stop me I am headed for the goal.
My mind and heart is set, my eyes seek to see,
The plan Father-God has planned for me.
It is His Word I listen to, it is His wisdom I crave.
It is His strength I rely on as He guides the way.
Jesus is my example, I follow hard after Him.
He is my Lord, Savior and very best friend.
With His authority I tell mountains to depart.
Demons flee when Jesus rules in my heart.
It is His voice they hear when I proclaim,
Victory, in Jesus’ name.
My treasure is in heaven, but I still sing as I go,
For the earth’s treasures I seek are souls.
Souls that are brought to the cross of Christ,
That also will set their heart and life,
On the path of no return to the better place,
Where heaven and earth touches under grace.
The embrace of God satisfies heart, mind and soul;
Fully and completely in His loving control.

Psalms 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in his way.
