Lyn McSweeney's Poetry

THE FACE OF THE LORD

The face of the Lord is beautiful
But I can't describe his eyes
I don't know what colour they are
Maybe blue like the bluest skies

But I know they are full of love
And as gentle as can be
Because he showed how much he loved
When he died for you and me

They are full of love that melts your heart
Even though it may be stone
Cause there's no doubt of how he feels
For those he calls his own

He is our loving shepherd
His sheep all know his voice
He tends us all with gentle care
To love him is our choice

And when we choose to walk with him
Sometimes the going's rough
But he is always somewhere near
To hold us with his touch

His eyes are always full of love
And as kind as kind can be
He loves us yes he loves us all
We're his treasures you and me

The face of the Lord is beautiful
But I can't describe his eyes
I don't know what colour they are
Maybe blue like the bluest skies

SING A NEW SONG

Sing a new song to Jesus
Don't worship him from afar
Go right into the Holy of Holies
Look see the door's ajar

Come enter in hear the angels sing
Their sweet voices fill the room
Come enter in hear the angels sing
Jesus is coming soon

The song from the throne room is different
Than any we've heard before
Because the angels join us
When we worship inside the door

Come sing a new song to Jesus
In that beautiful Holy place
Come sing a new song to Jesus
Come behold him seek his face

Come worship him see his glory fall
Upon ever nation tribe and race
For we'll surely see revival come
When we truly seek his face

THANK YOU TO JESUS

Do we think to say thank you
 To our Saviour Lord and King
Do we think to say thank you
To him for everything
For every single blessing
Each and every day
Every single breath we take
Every time we pray

Do we think to say thank you
For everything he’s done
For every single drop of blood
Through him the battle’s won
Do we think to say thank you
For the sun and rain
Do we think to say thank you
When he heals us from our pain

Do we think to say thank you
When he picks us up from a fall
Do we think to say thank you
To our Saviour our Friend our All
Do we think to say thank you
For the stars the moon and sun
Do we think to say thank you
Through Jesus the victory’s won

I thank you Lord for all you’ve done
For me throughout my life
For all the time you rescued me
From all the pain and strife
I thank you Lord for the stripes that heal
And for every drop of blood
I thank you Lord for everything
I thank you Lord for love

MY OWN TREASURES

I am choosing my own treasures
I am putting them in place
I am choosing those who worship me
Those who seek my face
I am choosing all the humble
Those who bow their knee
Those who have no other God’s
Those who worship me
So come now child just watch and see
What I am about to do
So come now child just seek my face
For I am holding you
I am holding you in safety
Of the shadow of my wings
I am holding you in loving arms
For you my heart just sings
Come into my presence child
Come and watch and see
For I am building my own church
Come and watch with me

HEAR MY WHISPERS

Not by might not by power
But by my spirit says the Lord
Walk close to me child don’t run ahead
Soak yourself in my word
Keep close to me hear my whispers
Hear the beat of my heart
This is the hour to walk close to me
From my side child don’t depart
Press into me I’ll show you the way
I’m paving a new way for you
Let me be your guide and be your strength
I’m building my church anew
It’s built by my spirit filled with my love
My bride I'm clothing you too
It’s nearly time for the bridegroom to come
But there's so much I have to do
Till the day you can stand together
My bridegroom and beautiful bride
How I long for the day that you will be
Forever side by side
But it’s not by might
It’s not by power
But by my spirit says the Lord
Walk close to me child don’t run ahead
Soak your self in my word

Love Flowing Like a River

Love flowing like a river
Over all the earth
It’s flowing o’er the desert
Causing a new birth
It’s flowing over old dry bones
Bringing them to life
It’s washing away religion
The darkness will be light
It’s changing hearts changing minds
So beautiful to see
It’s filling people full of love
It’s setting people free
It’s stripping off the bondage
The devil put in place
It’s taking scales from their eyes
They’re seeing Jesus’ face
The face of one who loves them so
Who died to set them free
Who was the gift of perfect love
From God to you and me
Love flowing like a river
Over all the earth
It’s flowing o’er the desert
Causing a new birth

Show Them Love

Show them love from the heart not the mind
Show them the love of a different kind
Show them the love that Jesus showed you
Show them the love so pure and so true
Show them the love of God not of man
Show them the love only Jesus can
Go to them in the places they are
Show them the love so richer by far
Show them the love to meet their need
Don’t store up riches out of our greed
Don’t build our house full of beauty of man
Empty of love not full of the I AM
These places so desolate just idols of power
Show them the love this is the hour
Create places that draw them draw them in
Places of love of healing from sin
Places so full of the glory of God
The places of love like where Jesus trod
Not a place of business not a place of mans power
But a place demonstrating Gods Holy power
A place of healing a place of release
A place full of joy a place full of peace
Filled with people of passion full of Gods fire
A place full of love that can only inspire
People to come to seek Gods own face
To his Holy of Holies Gods secret place
So build houses of worship houses of love
The foundation stone laid by our Father above
On Jesus the way the path and the life
The Alpha Omega the one true light
Show them love from the heart not the mind
Show them the love of a different kind

THE SWEET FRAGRANCE OF LOVE

Fall at his feet by the mercy seat
The fragrance of him just so sweet
Like no scent you have ever smelt before
The scent of love which from him pours
You will know that his presence is all around
You also will hear heavens sounds
The sounds of angels as they sing
Will in your ears forever ring
They sing worthy worthy is the lamb
Holy Holy is the great I AM

His love never falters it never fails
The sweet fragrance of love as we inhale
You can’t describe it but you know he is near
Embracing you saying child don’t fear
As we fall at his feet as we worship and praise
Our Father Our God the ancient of days
Fall at his feet by the mercy seat
The fragrance of him is just so sweet
Like no scent you have ever smelt before
The scent of love which from him pours

THE WINDS OF FREEDOM

Do you feel the winds of freedom blowing
Do you hear the whispers from heaven above
Do you see the wave of revival growing
Ready to pour out Fathers love
Do you know the chains have finally broken
That control is running out the door
The fulfillment of the promises spoken
Many things will happen that have not happened before
Hearts that were stone turning to flesh
Many more miracles will be seen
The door to heaven much wider open
Open far wider that it’s ever been
Glory pouring forth like liquid gold
The truth being spoken
By those who are bold
Their mouths being filled
By the Lion who roars
They’re on the mountain so high
Where the eagles soar
Do you feel the winds of freedom blowing
Do you hear the whispers from heaven above
Do you see the wave of revival growing
Ready to pour out Fathers love

MAKE YOUR WAY DOWN THE NARROW ROAD

Child make your way down the narrow road
Where the fire burns and the wind does blow
Where Father prepares us for the days to come
Where we become united where we become one
Make your way down the narrow road
Where the fire burns and the wind does blow
Where you hear the whispers of Fathers voice
Where you make up you mind where you make your choice
Never to wander from the narrow way
Where you enter in worship and pray
Keep walking down the narrow road
Where the fire burns and the wind does blow
Where your every movement wherever you go
There goes the Spirit of God you know
You are not left alone he is always near
He holds you close for you are so dear

THE SOUNDS OF FREEDOM

There is much rejoicing
By people getting free
They are singing praises
Do we hear them you and me
They are bathing in Gods glory
Being poured from up above
They see the chains are broken
By the power of his own love
How wonderful is Father
How awesome are his plans
How much he loves his children
He holds us in his hands
There is much rejoicing
By people getting free
They are singing praises
Do we hear them you and me???

Do we hear the sounds of freedom
Ringing o’er the earth
Do we see the broken chains
Do we see new birth
Do we see the river flowing
The glory and the fire
Do we see that love is growing
The passion and desire

The desire to be united
To be a family
Joined together by his own blood
That is how it’s meant to be..
