You are in the whirlwind and the storm,
As well as the soft summer breeze,
Almighty gentle Pneuma of God,
Fill and move in us as You please.

Given, Not Taken
Our peace cannot be taken from us,
It can only be given away,
For our peace is a person,
The Lord Jesus Christ,
Who now lives in these vessels of clay.
Ephesians 2:14, 2 Corinthians 4:7
The Uttermost
We are saved by grace
Through faith in Christ
We have nothing in which to boast,
Except in the blood
Of the spotless Lamb
Who saves sinners to the uttermost.
Ephesians 2:8 & 9, Galatians 6:14, Hebrews 7:25
Mark Tinjum – 2015
I am no better than anyone else
My only boast is God’s grace,
That reached into the deep pit I had dug
And raised me to a higher place.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
Insufficient
Thank you seems so inadequate,
My loftiest speech insufficient,
To convey the depth of my gratitude,
To Lord God Almighty Omniscient.
Inexhaustible
Neither mankind’s most beautiful eloquence,
Nor man’s loftiest words could exhaust,
The example of grace and selfless love,
Christ displayed when He suffered the cross.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
Dry eyes often mask the pain inside,
The shame and stain of sin,
The hurt we so often try to hide,
The battle we find so hard to win.
Life and creation,
Exhibit Christ’s glory,
His life on this earth,
Was the Father’s love story.
Christ’s birth showed us heaven’s door
His crucifixion provided the key
His resurrection opened wide heaven’s gates
For lost sinners like you and me
I stand in awe,
And kneel in wonder,
At the Lord of lightning,
And the God of thunder.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
God spoke and creation took shape and began,
He commanded and all things stood fast,
All things over and under the sun,
All things present and future and past.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
Oh the thought that the Savior loves me,
Overwhelms me and fills me with joy,
God’s love, grace and peace- a continual feast!
That the world cannot steal or destroy.
