This song started from a picture on a Facebook post from a fellow traveller. I still have to come up with some chords and a melody, but here are the lyrics. Here is the picture and the post -“Write the saddest story using only 4 words”
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. – Romans 8:14-17 NIV
“Get up”. That’s what I heard the Spirit say when I woke up. Get up out of the old, and walk in the newness of life. How about you? Are you ready for the new things that God is bringing into your life?
I also saw a snake on the ground. the Spirit asked me to stop on it with the Blood of Jesus. So I did, squashed his stupid little head! Yes, we have the power and authority to step on the snakes in our lives!
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. – Luke 10:19 NKJV
One thing I have learned is that I had to empty my hands. It was hard to receive anything from the Lord when I kept hanging onto the old things – my hands and my heart were full. Release it, let it go, open up your hands and your heart today to receive from the Lord. He has such beautiful things to show us. And rise with me my friends, “GET UP!”
Get Up
~Copyright 2015 Diana Rasmussen~
Get up, up, up, up, up
Though I have fallen I rise again
Get up, up, up, up, up
Through the Blood of Jesus
I step on the Enemy’s head!
I’m leaving the old with all sorrow’s untold
Walking in the Spirit reflecting God’s appearance
A son or a daughter I’ve been washed in the Water
Gonna get up, up, up, up, up!
“Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” – Romans 6:4 NKJV
O Zion,You who bring good tidings, Get up into the high mountain;O Jerusalem,You who bring good tidings, Lift up your voice with strength, Lift it up, be not afraid;Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand, And His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him.
He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom,And gently lead those who are with young. – Isaiah 40:9-11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you. – Luke 17:5-6 NIV
I was praying in the spirit
Seeking my daily bread
When the mighty voice of waters
Spoke to me and said
Bride of Christ Arise
Come up into the Heavenly skies
Prophesy what you see
Sit down next to me
And tell me what you see
Bride of Christ arise
I AM the Way
I AM the Door
I AM the Light
And the giver of Life
From this new perspective
I see His glory going forth in waves
Healing His body of believers today
I see the lame man dancing with new limbs
I see the dumb man talking to his friends
I see the blind man beholding Your Beauty
I see the fatherless adopted into Your Royal Family
Your Glory comes in waves
Covers your body today
the bound are loosed
addictions and sickness fall away
Anxiety and depression leave the fold
The broken hearted are filled with joy
The Splendor of Your Holiness
Lights up our way
Your worship defeats enemies
Your praise opens doors you can’t see
I AM the Way
I AM the Door
I AM the Light
And the giver of Life
Exodus 3:14 “And God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM’ and He said , “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.”
Here is a collection of some of my favorite Love Poems. I have assembled this for Proflowers and National Poetry Month. Head on over to Proflowers and their #Love Boldly Campaign and buy your muse a beautiful bouquet today! I dedicate all these poems to my husband, Bob Rasmussen. He is the reason I have learned to love again despite all the heartache I have been through. God restores all things – even love!
Here is the invitation I received from Proflowers:

My Masterpiece

You’re the picture on my fridge
I love to color outside of the lines
The mountains might be purple
The sky it might be pink
And know my plans for you
Are bigger than you think
Lift up your head and turn your gaze
I’ll fill you with my peace
Let your troubles fall to the ground
I’ve got you child I’ll provide you with all things
Don’t worry about tomorrow
I’ve got you in my arms
Don’t see yourself through their labels and their lies
look to me and I’ll open up your eyes
You’re not what they say
but you’re beautiful and free
Made with love and mercy
We all know grief. We have all lost someone dear to us. They say death is a part of life. Idk about that. I can tell you I don’t like it. I don’t like losing people. Yes, I know if they are saved they go to Heaven and dance with Jesus. But we are still here. And some days I really miss them.
Here are the lyrics to one of my new songs I am working on.
But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. – John 14:26 AMP
Ocean of Memories
Copyright 2015 Diana Rasmussen
In the middle of the room sat a hospital bed
silver side rails held her in while lifting her head
I grabbed the black remote control
Raised her up once more to hold her close
She was trapped in a body that just wouldn’t move
Yet I could see her inside, Her spirit you cannot hide
Oceans of Memories flooded her mind
She looked at me without speaking a word
One blink for yes, Two blinks for no
I squeezed her hand and said, “I know”
I’m glad Mama was home at the time of her life’s end
Those last days were hard for my mother and my friend
Can I just hit the rewind?
Back to a time without that hospital bed
Im trapped in a body that just won’t move
You can see me inside, Your Spirit you cannot hide
Oceans of memories flooding my mind
God look at me without saying a word
One blink for yes, Two blinks for no
Lord squeeze my hand and tell me, “I know”
Waves of love and waves of grief
Holy Spirit comfort me through this time
Oceans of memories flowing like tides
Oceans of memories flooding my mind
God look at me without saying a word
One blink for yes, Two blinks for no
Lord squeeze my hand and tell me, “I know”
I was praying in the spirit
Seeking my daily bread
When the mighty Voice of Waters
Spoke to me and said:
“Bride of Christ Arise
Come up into the Heavenly skies
Sit down next to me
And tell me what you see”
I can see His glory coming
in waves over a sea
Reigniting His broken body
setting believers free
“Bride of Christ Arise
Come up into the Heavenly skies
Sit down next to me
And tell me what you see”
Addictions, sickness fall away
cast off by the sea’s crest
Anxiety and depression
like seaweed they left
“Bride of Christ Arise
Come up into the Heavenly skies
Sit down next to me
And tell me what you see”
I see the lame man dancing with new limbs
I see the dumb man talking to his friends
I see the blind man gawking at all he sees
I see the fatherless adopted into Your Royal Family
“Bride of Christ Arise
Come up into the Heavenly skies
Sit down next to me
And tell me what you see”
