Passion's Dance With Fire's Flame

Passion and Fire You give to me

Open my eyes Lord,  that I may see

More of Your Glory revealed to me

More of Your Character perfected in me.

Lord, it’s all about You

Not about me-

Except that I’m seeking more of You

Because I’m so hungry for Thee.

You’ve called me and

Sent me,yes it’s true

But Lord the more I go

The more I know- 
It’s all about me and You!

For I have not a thing in which to share

Unless You my Lord put it there.

The call, the mission, my destiny-

Takes more of You having all of me.

The sweetest Dance

Is made just for two

It’s the Dance of Fir-

Passion’s Flame-it’s just me and You.

Born in the crucible of its flame

“To know You” I cry, again and again.

My life’s a journey I want to live with passionate flame

To know You, my Lord, is my burning desire-
my only aim.

In that place of desire and intimacy,

You reveal the dreams that You have for me.

Plans and dreams you’ve designed-

Lovingly fashioned with me in mind.

And so I’ll dance to the song You sing;

For Your song gives Life to everything.

And in Your arms I’m truly free

As You call- “Come Dance on Eagles Wings with Me.”

It’s the Dance of the Bridegroom with His Bride

Please teach me Lord how to rule and reign 
at Your side.

You’re a Servant King, so that’s how I must be

Ruling and reigning in life through Love’s Victory.

Africa Calling

And it’s for you I cry

My African skies!

With a thousand dreams

And a thousand sighs.

A thousand sunrises

I’ve yet to see;

Or a thousand sunsets

Forever calling to me.

Still, one thousand moons

Will never be-

Enough o’ Lord

Until you give Africa to me!

Give me Africa!

I’ll set her free,

And then sweet Lord,

Present her back to Thee.

I see Africa rising up strong

Taking her place where she belongs.

The African Pearl, and the African star

I hear them calling to me from afar.

“Come over here and help us to see

Come and show us what we can be!

Come with a Mother’s heart

To give Love, teach, strengthen and impart.”

African sun burning so bright

Pales in the Glory of God’s “sonlight.”

African Love, with passion strong

Holy Spirit lead me now where I belong.

  

Sons, yes, I have a many!

Daughters, not a few-

So many yet calling, I don’t know what to do-

Lord, my eyes are upon You!

Great is the harvest

Great is the Call

Coming to one who

Is “least of all.”

But my heart says, “Yes Lord!”

Here am I, send me…

I’ll arise and answer your question and call-

“Who can I send, who will go for Me?”

Take and send me on the current of Your Love

Guide me with Your Light from Above.

Fill me with your Power and Spirit energy

But may I always have child like Faith in Thee!

Give me Your Wisdom, wit and Way

Teach me to Mark carefully

 All that I do and say

Leading wisely, leading well

Lord, always serving

Living Water  from

Your bottomless well.

And now Lord, I thank You

That You hear my cry

May it pierce men’s hearts

Under the African sky.

In Jesus Name.  Amen.
