I Will Rise

I will rise
I will not be silent
I will not stand idiolly by
I will rise
Though words pierce me like a vipor's venom
Though I fall more than I stand
I will rise
My body is weak
My soul is tired
My bones ach
My back breaks
I have nothing
Oh so tired
But I will rise
I will not be beat down
I will not stay defeated
I will not lay down in dismay
I will rise
I will rise with my King
To the highest of heights
I will not be bound by this earth
I will rise
My position is in heaven
My authority rests in Him
I will rise
To my heavenly place
I will rise
I will rise!    

We walk in freedom
We are free from sin and death
Jesus has handed us the authority that Satan took from us. Rise up into who you are! You are sons & daughters of the King! Walk in victory!

In Whose Name?

Listen to my words
For they come from the King
Hear me speak now
For it is He who speaks
Yes it is true 
I come in the name of the King
I am His ambassador 
I am His child
I carry His seal
I speak with His authority
And with His power
Listen to my words
For they come from the King

It Is Love

In effort to keep up my blog I will continue to share these poetic and sometimes prophetic verses that God has given me.  I believe they are not just for me to keep locked up on my computer.  They are for people to read and be encouraged.  I pray that your faith would be strengthened and that God the Father would touch your heart. So I present It Is Love.

How do we keep that flame that is passion burning?
How does the author continue his work or a composer his masterful sound?
What is it that makes a man finish his race?
What is it that inspires us?
Why do we chase the wind and try to out last the sun?
Can we stop the moon from shining?
Can we stop the world from turning?
Where does man find his breath to live?
And where does his journey begin?
If he scales the tallest mountain if he swims the widest sea
What has he accomplished?
His name is known by more than his kin
And a metal slung round his neck
The queen may yet knight him
And the world may yet praise him
But where is the glory in all of this?
Who can he share this joy soon to pass?
All his years he trained hard and left many behind
His mother his father and mistress so fine
Yes he is alone no one can now comfort
His friends now turned enemies and lovers up and gone
He will suffer alone with the devil so pleased
This pour soul forgot the lovers decree
Love father and mother and sister and brother
Love wife and love children
And above all love God our Father
This one thing inspires
No thing can yet move without love as our song
It gives writers their script 
The poet his verse
The psalmist declares the love of our Father
And the husband holds tight his lover so dear
Yes it is true no thing can be done without a hint of love
We can govern men but they will hate us
We can build bridges but who will praise us?
We can construct great structures to show our great worth
Gather riches and spices, the moon and the stars
Make cities and nations then burn them all down
But all is for not without the power of love
Above all else love and be loved
Show the love of the Father
Expect nothing back
Our reward is heaven
We've been saved from the pit
So I will love with all I am
Because that is just good sense

A Little Overdue

As with most bloggers out there, it's hard to keep your page up to date.  I have, however, been keeping my Facebook page pretty up to date.  So if you've missed anything here's the site: http://www.facebook.com/McGarityAbroad 
With the proper motivation and some discipline I may yet get this blog up to date and post the things that God is laying on my heart.  Till then check out the Facebook link.


Be blessed.
