Caleb's Song

CALEB'S SONG

I AM A WARRIOR

I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU

I AM A FIGHTER

I WILL DIE FOR YOU

I WILL TAKE UP MY SWORD

AGAINST OUR ENEMY

I WILL LIFT UP MY SHIELD

FOR HIS ATTACKS ON ME

FOR I SEE WITH MY HEART

AND I RUN WITH MY SPIRIT

ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD

CARNAGE EVERYWHERE

I WANT THAT MOUNTAIN

GOD GAVE IT TO ME

EVERY STEP I TAKE

FOR ALL ETERNITY

I CAN FIGHT THE GIANTS

I CAN WRESTLE THEM

BUT IF THEIR SEEDS STILL LIVE

I WON'T WIN

I AM A WARRIOR

I GO TO BATTLE FOR YOU

I AM A FIGHTER

I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU

I HAVE MADE MY STAND

AND I WON'T RETREAT

TILL YOU REMOVE YOUR HAND

AWAY FROM ME

FOR I SEE WITH MY HEART

AND I RUN WITH MY SPIRIT

ONTO THE MOUNTAINTOP

GLORY EVERYWHERE

I CAN SEE YOU CLEARLY

I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE

I CAN KNEEL IN WONDER

THAT YOU'VE MADE ME YOUR CHOICE

I AM SERVANT

TO THE MOST HIGH GOD

I AM HUMBLED

BY THE MOST HIGH GOD

UNDER THE WEIGHT OF YOUR GLORY

I AM PRESSED

AND IN THE SHADOW OF MERCY

I AM BOWED

IN THE TRUTH OF REFLECTION

I SEE MY NEED

FOR YOU

ONLY YOU

YOU ARE THE MOST HIGH GOD

AND YOU SEE ME

YOU LOVE ME

YOU SAVE ME

EVERYDAY

MORE OF YOU

ON MY MOUNTAINTOP

MORE OF YOU

IN MY MOUNTAIN VIEW

MORE OF YOU

WHEN I STAKE MY CLAIM

ON WHAT YOU

HAVE GIVEN ME

I AM YOUR WARRIOR

I HAVE FOUGHT FOR YOU

I AM YOUR SERVANT

AND I HAVE LIVED FOR YOU

I AM YOUR CHILD,

I AM YOUR SEED,

YOU LIVE IN ME.

Unforgiveness

As I posted on Facebook earlier, "Unforgiveness is cancer of the soul. Unforgiveness kills the spirit, steals your joy and destroys everything in its path." It is one of Satan's primary weapons. It may appear to start out as something small or minor to one person and soon erupt in a lifetime of bitterness, resentment, anger, loathing, hate, fear, frustration, gossip, secrets and murder.

To understand the full impact of unforgiveness, we just need to open our own eyes and actually survey the world around us, instead of shutting it out and hoping it will get better with time. Well, it won't. In the course of the time allowed us until Christ's return to take His church home, His church needs to be about her business. And her business is planting people in pews or harvesting the tithes and offerings into her own pockets.

In order to remove the unforgiveness in our lives, we must first repent of the sins which lie in our own hearts. We seek God's favor and ask for His forgiveness first. To us. You and I are not perfect. This forgiveness thing is not easy at first, but with grace we are able to mean it when we offer it. Remember when you first got saved? What a load was taken off! What a relief not to have to carry that baggage any longer! So, why carry it now? Begin to forgive everything. And everyone. Oh, and don't expect it to be a bed of sunshine either. As soon as you begin to forgive and seek forgiveness, that old devil will pop right up with new reasons for you to try to hold onto your grudges. Remember, Grudges are nasty, dirty things. If you are holding one, you need to put it down now. And go wash your hands. And your hearts.

Unforgiveness has the power to destroy homes, tear apart churches, damage relationships, and kindle fires. Obedience to God, faith in Christ and an ear open for the promptings of the Holy Spirit will strengthen the Power of Forgiveness in you and I. To forgive each other is to express the grace of God by our actions and our words. God forgives us our sins as soon as we repent. Why can't we forgive each other in that same way?
