The Melodious

When Will I Understand?
There are no answers for
those who do not seek
There are no treasures for
those who sleep
Why does the wind blow in
the desert?
Why does the moon glow in
the darkness?
The birds don’t worry, the
spider has no fear
The snake has no legs and
the locust has no king
When will I understand?
 
The Way [...]

I’m Not Dead Yet
Mike Palmer 2006
It’s a slow death, dying to self; a battle for my soul
I thought love was something I could do
But love was what held You on the cross,
Lord, what I know in my head is not helping me
What I feel in my heart is not empowering me
I am not able to [...]

Who Am I?
By Mike Palmer 1/8/2006
I am a singer a songwriter a performer
I am a husband a father a leader
But I am dust
I am nothing without God, He alone gave me value
I am a son, a child of God, in His image
I have done NOTHING to earn His love, and favor, but because He is [...]

You Covered Me
By Mike Palmer , 12/31/04, updated 12/23/05
When I thought I knew so much,
When I said, “it is enough to know what I know.”
When I boasted with the best, to stand above the rest,
You could have struck me to me knees,
Shattered all my pride, in front of all my peers
What I can’t comprehend,
And what [...]

What does God want from me?
Love, honor, worship and trust.
What is my part in the Passion of Christ?
My sin put Him on the cross and caused Him to suffer, He died for me so that I could live; I need to live for Him. I need to receive the call, recognize and take [...]

Perfect image
Rest in My arms
Dream secure
My love for you is abounding
You run alone
Not afraid to venture
You think you’re out of sight
You know My voice will beckon soon
My table spread for you
You are the precious one
You are the blessed one
My love for you is abounding
My song to you, only for you
I long for you to hear [...]

How do you know when you’re being lied to?
Disernment
Where do you get disernment?
God gives it
Why don’t people have it?
Selfishness and pride-
Selfishness causes them to listen to the deceiver and pride keeps them from surrendering to and asking God for His wisdom

The glory of God ought to be the end result of all our actions.

A Moral Base
By Mike Palmer 10/28/03
Without a moral base, how can a man be trusted?
How can a man discern good from evil or a lie from the truth?
A man will be made a coward by the 911’s of life.
A man cannot judge another man rightly.
A man will make decisions based on self-interest and not the [...]

Thoughts about life 8-2-2005
I had a crazy thought today.
For some reason my thoughts took me to all of the smashup derby cars I’ve seen lately; must be getting them ready for the fair.
It occurred to me that the cars get so beat up when they smash into each other, but the car that wins is [...]
