Shamefully Naked and Exposed
Colleen Livingston
In Christ I’ve found my purity,
He’s made me pure in Him.
Yes virtue is a gift He gives,
To those who obey His name.
His Majesty is one divine,
To those who are His bride.
Inside interior He lives,
In my castle He is alive.
Through many chambers He has cleansed,
Igniting his pure light.
Scattering all the species there,
Who block me from His sight.
I want to be standing on that day,
And lifted up as His pure bride.
God forbid I am left behind here, Lord,
Shamefully naked, filled with pride.
He’s warning all His Church this hour,
To put away your selfish ways.
It’s not about the outside looks,
But inside you are dark and gray.
“No more lukewarm!” He shouts out loud!
Turn swiftly from your ways!
A time is coming soon His bride,
Will be lifted far away.
But many left behind will say,
“Lord, Lord, I’ve honored, yes, your name?”
The Lord will say He never knew you,
Gnawing, gnashing, weeping you will see.
You do not want to be caught naked,
Being shamefully exposed.
When the Lord of Hosts, comes lifts us up,
Inside your heart your motives He knows.
Great tribulations will be endured,
Without His presence you will choose.
Your first love you will know then,
For Jesus Christ, your life you’ll lose.
How graceful of a God we have,
He’ll give you second cut.
All you have to do, hold fast,
Your testimony will be enough.
Bring glory to the God of hosts!
His mercy has endured!
Cut to the heart you’ll love Him more,
Giving Him all you’ve procured.
Standing by we’ll watch in awe,
Silence above for those few years.
Tears will stream down from our eyes,
Until all of you have come up to cheer.
“Jerusalem! Jerusalem!”
“How I’ve longed to hold you near”
“Like a mother hen I’ve called to you!”
“But no one wanted to hear!”
Here I come now though,
The time has come,
To take you for myself.
“Blessed is He who comes now here,
In the name of our dear Lord!”
You will shout My name,
“YESHUAH HAMASIAH!”
“You are the Holy One!”
“Coming down from Heaven",
“Together at last has finally come!”
Tsunami
Colleen Livingston
A tsunami tide can change your life,
Destroying everything there was.
But if you let it do its work,
You will find strength to rise above.
A tsunami tide can shift your life,
Rinsing lust out from your ears.
Rattling and settling all things straight,
Igniting hope in what is left down here.
Where else can you turn your heart?
When everything is washed away.
A tsunami tide can change your life,
Causing you to bow down and pray.
"I once was a big time business man!"
"I had it all, a man could dream!"
A tsunami tide it changed my life,
It faded by and went down stream.
"A wife and kids I once did have!"
"But what I had now, yes, is gone!"
A tsunami tide it took my life,
A new one, in Christ, I’ve found.
In Christ I place my trust in life,
I cleave to what I know.
Inside my heart was struck in time,
To walk this path I now will grow.
My priorities in life have changed,
Everything is washed, I’m saved.
A tsunami came and changed my life,
My life I’ve died, to Christ I gave.
So take me now, eternal stride,
I bow now at His name.
A tsunami tide has changed my life,
I no longer live in shame.
