The High and Lofty,
Has set apart,
The humble in spirit,
And the contrite in heart,
And gives eternal salvation,
To those who bend their knee,
To the God of heaven,
Three in One, One in Three.
MT- 2020
NKJV Isa 57:15
For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Your grace is sufficient,
Is ever enough,
When the path is dark,
And the road gets rough,
Your grace is a beacon,
Of radiant light,
In our gloomiest hour
And our darkest night.
MT 2019
John 1:16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
Divinity and humanity,
Beautifully entwined,
God and Man,
Gracious and kind,
Descends from glory,
Lost souls to find,
With grace and by love,
Broken hearts He will bind.
MT 2019
Luke 19:10 NKJV
[10] for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
The valley of the shadow of death
Is wide and dark and deep,
And the climb up the mountain of righteousness,
Is narrow, winding and steep,
But the Good Shepherd leads in both places,
For He loves and cares for His sheep,
And no matter what terrain or trials we face,
His lambs He will faithfully keep.
MT 2018
Jesus walked with me up a dark mountain,
Higher and higher he led,
“Walk by faith and not by sight,”
“For my grace is sufficient,” He said,
“Fear not, My dear child, it is I,”
“Who built this mountain so tall,”
“And I created both darkness and light,”
“And will teach you to soar and not fall,”
So I smiled in the face of the dark abyss,
As the Prince of Peace filled up my heart,
And I realized His presence was the greatest gift,
That my Father could ever impart.
Mark Tinjum – 2017
Eph 3:19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
A wise man takes both good and bad,
And learns from each situation,
As he talks them over with the all wise God,
Then acts from his contemplation.
Mark Tinjum. 2017
Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
[6] For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
Is your soul now being sifted,
By various troubles and trials?
Even Peter succumbed to temptation,
He forcefully made three denials.
Is the enemy shouting lies in your ear?
Christ’s word will silence his wiles!
Does the world revile and mistreat you
Though you’ve gone the extra mile?
You’re in very fine company,
John and Paul both faced earthly exile.
So don’t give up- keep up the fight,
While despair may be in style,
You will soon feel the Savior’s loving embrace
Just patiently wait for awhile.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
