Throw
yourself; I am the Lord who never fails
Give
your all; whom have you in Heaven but me?
Earth
has nothing you desire besides me
Do
not look around you lest you be dismayed
Do
not look back; do not look forward
Only
look at me: Who holds the past, knows the present and fashions the futures
Have
I ever been known not to fulfill my word?
Has
anyone ever trusted me and been put to shame?
Do
I not show mercy to my chosen ones and answer their prayers before they ask?
Ask
around; has there ever been any God like me?
If
you will humble yourself;
If
you will go on your knees;
If
you will put me first;
If
you will repent;
If
you will speak my word;
If
you will trust me
If
you will love what I love;
If
you will do as I ask only
If
you will walk with me as a man walks with a friend
If
nothing will keep you from me
If
I take the pre eminent place in your life
If
you will burn with love for me
If
I’m your all and your only
If
you are still
You will know that I am the Lord who searchest the hearts of men
I will
make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun and all men shall see your
glory, the glory of the Father
I will
cause you to stand above your companions
I will
open doors before you that no man can close
I will
fulfill every word I have spoken concerning you
I will
restore all that the locusts have eaten and more besides
I will
set you apart and lift you up that all men may see your glory and praise my
name, I the Lord of heaven
I will
cause you to do greater things besides
Your
fruit will be much; you will bear much fruit because I have chosen you
I will
give you all that you ask in my name
I will
speak with you as a man speaks with his friend
I will
be your God and you will be my own, my treasured possession.
