Way to the Father's Heart

I wrote this song in 2007, when things were a mess in my life, and God was busy calling out Peace and bringing me His rest. It is one of the very beautiful reminders of how peaceful His love can be even if everything else is a mess. [Translation below] Laadu ke bacche pe hoke savaar, Aata hai shaanti ka Raajkumar, Uthane to ko mere gunaahon ka bhaar, Masih chala aata hai, Masih chala aata hai. Aankhon main leke Woh swarg ka pyaar, Dil main Woh lata ummedein apaar, Anand se Uske cchalakta sansaar, Masih chala aata hai, Masih chala aata hai. Ajab sa hai kitna Uska vyapaar, Dukh leke karta hain khushiyaan nisaar, Chinta ke badle main deta qaraar, Masih chala aata hai, Masih chala aata hai. Uska vachan suno karta pukaar, Mukti hai Usi ke lahu ki dhaar, Uske logon ki nahi hogi haar, Masih chala aata hai, Masih chala aata hai. oh.. and Laadu is an animal that bears burdens; jispe bhaar laada jata hai. 'Laadna' means 'to load'. It is smaller than a donkey, it can b

I made a choice to knock on a door not meant for me. He warned me, I did not understand. I stood outside the door. He stood with me. I knocked the door, and it didn’t open for me. He stood with me. I knocked and I knocked. He knocked with me. The door did not open. I waited. He waited with me. I waited. He tried to lead me away from the wrong door. I didn’t understand. He waited. I was knocked down. He was with me. It was an iron door that refused to relent to my knocking. He was with me. I knocked the door till I was hurting and bleeding. He knocked for me. I knocked till was exhausted and weary. He was with me. I sat by the closed door and waited for 6 years, knocking now and then, wearing myself out. Keeping patience and losing it. He waited with me. I knocked off and on. He knocked way more than I did – for me. I refused to budge from the door not meant for me. He stayed. I didn’t understand anything. He understood everything. Yet, He wa

I've learnt something about love. Love does not cause us to be weak. It makes us strong. The perfect love of the Father God makes us strong. It brings us life, joy and strength. When we love others with that love, we are strengthened within ourselves. The Word of God says - I do not have a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Problems and disagreements may arise. People are not perfect. Not even that someone special in one's life. But love overlooks. Love conquers the imperfections. No love is not blind. But love is light. When one looks at another under the perfect light of love, all things fall into the perfect perspective. Wrongs are covered, forgiven, and forgotten. Love makes it easy to forgive. Love makes it easy to move on. Love makes everything clear. Decisions come easy, and one is confident that they did right. No matter how a situation turns out, when what we do is done is love, outcome is good. Father God blesses an action done out of lov

If I try to visualize it, I'm limited by what I see. If I try to think it out then, Imagination limits me. Indescribable, unimaginable, Nothing compares to Your love Nothing compares, nothing compares, Nothing compares to Your love, O Jesus, Nothing compares, nothing at all, Nothing compares to Your love Though I want to comprehend it, My understanding is too small. When I try to talk about it, My words can never show it all. Incomprehensible, unexplainable, Nothing compares to Your love Oh! Your love is everlasting, It gives me life abundantly. Lord, Your love is never-changing, I'll love forever You only. Never-ending, and enduring, Nothing compares to Your love 'Twas the best thing happ'nd to me, Oh! when I fell in love with Thee. I don't even have to earn it, You love me unconditionally. Oh so precious, freely given, Nothing compares to Your love [21/12/10] It was the best Christmas gift I got this year. My Lord gifted me a song that my heart is just SO happy w

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that worketh in us , 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen Ephesians 3:20 As I proclaimed this verse in prayer, a picture arose in my front of my closed eyes. God Holy Spirit, in His own unique way, showed me what He meant by this verse. I spoke ' exceedingly ' and saw someone lift up, cupping both their hands, something off the ground. I spoke ' abundantly ' and saw him spread his arms out wide. 'Exceeding' means increasing beyond expectation. Abundant means more than sufficient. Yes, God is able to do such feats as this - beyond our highest expectation and more than what we'd ever need. Not only He's able to do it, He's done it already in Jesus Christ, and thru Him on the cross. Exceedingly Abundant was the sacrifice on the cross. Exceedingly Abundant is His grace. Exceedingly A

The day You called me Yours The day You called me child The day You called my name Your arms open wide The day was the first of my eternal life when You called me from above in Your everlasting love You wove me with Your hands I am in Your image You died to see in me reflection of Your face Your Spirit dwells in me my life within Your grace I rise above the flood in Your everlasting love

There was a certain man, who had traveled through his life building it himself, as he called it. The core of every decision he made and everything he did was the achievement of his goals and the fame, riches, popularity, respect, status thereof. Like with everyone else, some of his decisions worked to his benefit, and some others did not. That is when he would try every trick in the trade to gain his dream - a life he built on his terms. When he succeeded, he considered it a wise move to have handled things as well as he did. He would imagine himself to have pushed till the road-block was moved by his own strength and might. As with everything in this world, his enterprise reached a peak and then begun its descent. His wisdom misdirected him, his strength failed him, and his tricks did not work. He even attempted tricks he'd never tried before, but the dying can scarcely be revived by human effort. Though he did not give up easily and fought on every step and every side, failure ga

I would have long been lost, if Jesus was not there to hold me. I would have fallen down the ditch of depression, nervous breakdown, and even madness, if only the Savior had not held me up in His arms like a father cradles his newborn - delicately, not harming, and ever so careful. Not for a minute did He put me down; not for a second did He take His eyes off me. When I was struggling with pain even in raising my arms in prayer, He held me close to His heart, giving me His comfort. What more do you, my soul, need to reaffirm His love? Hasn't He been carrying you when you could not walk? Hasn't He been watching you with unsleeping eyes when you slept? Didn't you sleep better because He gave you His rest? It sometimes gives me great joy, and sometimes great wonder, and sometimes great tears of thankfulness when I sit down to think, that my Father in Heaven never sleeps - just so He could be with me. He Never sleeps? Can you imagine, my heart, what it must be like to never sle

In Your presence, there is peace past and pain and tears cease joy comes with the morning breeze, in Your presence In Your presence, life is found everlasting hope abounds and a sinner turns around, in Your presence In Your presence, shackles fall children conquer fortress wall blood of Jesus washes all, in Your presence In Your presence, Spirit brings, shout of thanks and praises rings bride with the heaven sings, in Your presence In Your presence, all is calm painful memories bring no harm I am held in Savior’s arm, in Your presence [written: 21/08/07]

Lord, you are my Helper Lord, You are my King Lord, You are the Master over me and everything Lord, You are my Shepherd You lay Your life for me Lord, You are my Savior You're He who makes me free Lord, You are my Healer all my ills are cleansed in You Lord, You are my Keeper my Rock, I lean on You Lord, Your name is Jesus above everything is Your word Holy and so precious and mighty as a sword [written: 12/04/07]

At Your feet, I bow my head For You Jesus are the Holy Bread To You I come by Your Spirit led and in Your path I faithfully tread Jesus, You're my All in all You're my shelter, You're my call I come to You and surrender all Jesus, take charge of me Jesus, You are a glorious name more than riches more than fame I am a sinner but just the same You loved me and for me You came Jesus, Jesus, Lamb of God Jesus, You're the LORD of lords [written: 10/04/07]

God will answer my prayers my hopes will not be in vain He will wipe away my tears and take away my pain His faithfulness is everlasting unlike the promises of men so lets make Him our foundation and choose to trust in Him He will give me back my lost days I will see better days yet my hopes will all be fulfilled my needs will all be met He makes grand plans for me and though I do not see my God sees everything all will be well for me [written: January 2007]

When you are tired, when you're lost When friends fall away and are gone When no one seems to understand When you find that you stand alone When you long for someone to hear Someone who feels, someone who cares Someone who sees and understands Someone who knows, someone who shares Then Jesus comes and gently says Come away with Me to a quiet place Leave all behind! Come away, My child Come away with Me to a quiet place I will refresh, I will revive Your hopes, your strength, even your life Fresh water for you to drink and clean all filth and sins and wounds and stains Eternal Bread that does restore Your body and mind, your heart and soul I'll give you rest and give you peace I'll take your burden, put you at ease We'll sit together and talk and pray You'll find in Me the One who cares The One who sees and understands The One who loves you, the One who shares I come to you and gently say Come away with Me to a quiet place Leave all behind! Come away, My child Come
