Deep of God’s love calls to deep of my heart,

In the roar of Your living waterfalls,

Pouring out strongly into my spirit.

So I hear Your comforting voice:

“I see your love in small acts,

Even in making a hot honey tea concerning doing good to the family.”

Your voice like sonar wave transmits through the noise of evil accusation and self-pity,

Into the depth of my heart of adoring Thee. 

As I confess and deny myself and push back the evil spirit of self pity,

Your voice comes quickly to search me.

Then, tears of joy from my soul echo your love in deep heart,

Crying: “Thank you for loving me and comforting me!”

O, my soul,

Put hope in God,

For He alone understands my deep thoughts,

I shall only desire His loving reward in heaven.

(Psalm 42:7, 1 John 3:18)

あなたの大滝の轟に

淵が淵を呼び起こし

あなたの波　あなたの大波はみな、

私の上を越えていきました

昼には　主が恵みを下さり

夜には　主の歌が私と共にあります。

私の命なる神への祈りが。

I  know that God is pleased with me,

For I have Jesus Christ in me,

I know that God is for me,

For the enemies cannot triumph over me.

In my integrity of Jesus Christ,

God upholds me and sets me in His presence forever.

Nothing can compete with God’s faithfulness to me.

(Psalm 41:11-12)

The Holy Spirit moves,

And the living spirit of me moves,

Rose from the ground, 

My body also moves.

For the spirit of me is in the body,

Where the Holy Spirit goes,

My spirit and soul and body go.

When He stops,

My spirit is still and my mind rests.

Until next moment His Spirit commands me

To rise up and go.

My desire is the same with His desire. 

That’s how I can fly freely.

(Psalm 40:8, Ezekiel 1:19, Isaiah 30:21)

やりたいこと　好きなように

自由にできる夢

人生は紙飛行機　神様から願い乗せて飛んで行くよ

聖霊の風の中を力の限り　ただ進むだけ

その距離を競うより

どう飛んだか　どこをとんだのか

それが一番大切なんだ

心のままに　毎日

飛んでいけ！

God set me free,

To desire to do His will,

For His law is within my heart. (Psalm 40:8)

God set me free,

To proclaim righteousness in the great assembly,

So I speak of your faithfulness, salvation, love and truth.

May all who seek you,

Rejoice in their spirit and be glad in their soul,

For God is always our help and deliverer.

God set me free,

To feel His love,

My mind will never forget,

His saving me from dark, 

Healing me from depression, 

Leading me to the Light,

And maturing me to hope.

 

I am joyful before I see my hope fulfilled,

For I know when I ask God and I shall receive it.

No need of finding any excuse in case of failing to succeed,

For I respond to His mercy in prayer,

Surrender to His sovereignty in humility,

Praise His glory in worship.

Then I am bold to thankfully proclaim His promise:

God has given me the spirit of power, love and self-discipline with sound mind,

So I may renew my thoughts and enslave my body.

I shall live my life with His wisdom, beauty and wellness.

Hallelujah!!!

Hopeless in despair,

Sparks a desire of searching for the hope of remedy.

The Hope is not flimsy wishful thoughts,

But assurance of God’s faithful promise.

Hope is as necessary to life as the air we breathe.

Hope is not just something we do,

But a joyful expectation we have,

Through Jesus Christ,

The foundation of Hope.

Hope is courageous. (2 Corinthians 3:12)

Hope is expectant. (Titus 2:13-14)

Hope is a source of stability. (Hebrews 6:19)

Hope has purifying effect. (1 John 3:3)

My relationship with God generates hope of eternity.

An initial hope in Jesus Christ spurs me up,

So I am motivated to persevere,

By Hope of God,

To realize a worthy goal,

To find joy and fulfillment,

To be assured to keep pressing on in the godly direction.

Best of all, I experience in perseverance: Grace, Protection, Provision.

Hope can be active or waiting,

Just like faith can be bold or quiet,

Just like love can be gentle or tough.

Let the catalyst of time do its amazing work,

Mature my life to sweet wine,

To bring a flavor of joy to my Father God.

I am born again to be the living hope,

Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Who conquer the enemy of death on my behalf. (1 Peter 1:3)

Sin causes the pain and fear of death,

Law bonds the sinners under its power.

But Jesus Christ came to give us victory over law and death. (1 Corinthians 15:26, 57)

Hope gives me future heavenly perspective,

To shape my approach to life on earth,

And this hope shall lead me to His glory as His coheir. (Titus 3:4-7)

(adapted from Hope by Bill Crowder)

When I call You, 

You come near me and say to me:

Do not fear. (Lamentations 3:57)

God gives me the spirit of power, love and self-discipline,

So my heart can have a single focus on pursuing Him.

Once a sacrifice of the flesh in the world,

Now turn to feeling a privilege;

Once a duty to the law,

Now become a delight in eternal joy.

Like the strings on a violin,

I discipline self to let God’s hand,

Play His beautiful melody of life through me,

And release His amazing wisdom and power,

In response to my prayers. (Daniel 2:21-23)

Look to God,

Be radiant,

Without shame,

And receive the honor restored by Jesus Christ,

For Father God of grace smiles at me to help.

Fear God,

Lack nothing good,

I am redeemed and no condemnation at all,

Even in many troubles,

For God of protection delivers me from them all.

(Psalm 34:5,9)

In the day of God’s anger,

No one escaped or survived,

God is both kind and severe.

He is severe toward the disobedient.

He is kind to help those who continue to trust in His kindness.

Through Jesus Christ,

Who has given you grace to remain faithful to Him alone.

God imprisons the going astray sheep by law,

So they won’t be killed by the devil who is misleading them to jump off the cliff.

When God’s mercy release them,

They run in freedom,

And willfully follow the Master.

All creation exists by His power, 

For displaying His glorious loving wisdom.

(Romans 11:22, 5,32)

Arise, cry out in prayer,

Overflow the living water of the Holy Spirit.

Like a faithful watcher at night,

Guard the people of the world.

Lift up my hands to God,

For bringing down His word,

To empower my children and the saints,

To wait in hope of God,

For giving food to the lost and faint,

To come back to Jesus for salvation.

“Be you”, is a command God gives

To establish me to be 晴れ女,

to speak HIs word to drive away

Dark clouds and stop evil attacks,

So His will shall come to be,

Through my prayer and plead.

Arise, cry out in the night,
    as the watches of the night begin;
pour out your heart like water
    in the presence of the Lord.
Lift up your hands to him
    for the lives of your children,
who faint from hunger
    at every street corner. (Lamentations 2:19)
