I MUST BE HOLY FOR HE IS HOLY
So often Lord I have cried out saying “I want to see your face,
And I dearly love your sweet, sweet embrace,”
Then you ask me, yes one such as me to come closer,
You say to me “Come my child I will reveal to you so much more.”
5
HE IS RISEN
When we think of that empty tomb and that stone rolled away,
We stand amazed when reflecting on what it took to wash our sins away,
There was nothing could cleanse us except the shedding of His blood,
It was all for us that Jesus our Lord and Saviour suffered and bled.
6
ARE WE GOING TO ENTER A WINTER OF DISCONTENT?
For real revival always, always starts with an awakening in our hearts,
He wants us to learn from the mistakes made in the past,
We must be well grounded in the Word and in relationship with Him,
We need to spend time in His Presence and at His feet learn.
But we must never give up for God has promised to pour out His Spirit,
And all over the world hearts of God’s people are being stirred,
For we are going to be made ready for the return of our King,
So for now let us in one accord our dear Saviour’s praises sing.
It is time for the body of Christ to spend time seeking His face,
He wants us His bride to start giving Him His proper place,
We need to put aside discontentment and turn our eyes on to Him,
For true long lasting revival can only come when it’s all about Him.
So, we God’s people need to repent right now for allowing the enemy in,
He is very subtle and comes like a thief trying to kill steal and destroy,
But when we become disillusioned we go head first into sin,
And the Lord Himself says to us, “Come to me and I will restore your
joy.
I have never left you I have always been there for you, I just gave you a
taster,
My people you were not ready, you will be purified and then comes the
power,
7
A mighty new wave of the Spirit is on it’s way and I do not want you to
miss it,
You will no longer walk in your own strength but in the might and power
of the Holy Spirit.
So, don’t give up, do not enter the valley of despair for fresh joy comes
in the morning,
Even through your times in the valley seek my face and you will be
rejoicing,
Fix your eyes on me, for I will guide you right up to the top of that
mountain,
And my dear friends I assure you that you have a future hope that is
certain.”
8
HEALING OF THE WHOLE PERSON
So if you have yet to accept this free gift of salvation, freely given,
9
Why not repent of your sins and you will be on course for heaven?
For today Jesus is looking upon you with love and compassion,
And he wants to birth new life in you making you a new creation.
Come then friends and know that the Lord wants you to be free,
He wants to take first place it’s not all about you and me,
So come and give your whole self over to him today,
Declaring openly to all around you, you belong to Jesus today.
10
AT THE CROSSROADS
I’ve been walking along life’s journey for a long time now,
And I came to the crossroads and looked for the right way to go,
But I was confused as to which road was right for me to pursue,
Should I follow the broad road or the one which is narrow?
My friends looked at the broad road and thought together we will go,
I was a pilgrim seeking something new so I chose the road that was
narrow,
It meant going a lonely road and a big change in life’s direction,
But this narrow road meant finding Jesus Christ and salvation.
For broad is the road that many will pursue but it leads to destruction,
And narrow is the road leading to eternal life and regeneration,
For although I am travelling on the lonely road that less pursue,
I never ever travel this journey alone for the Lord is with me too.
I have a hope that is certain and sure, of eternity with my best friend.
And I know that I will go to be with Him when I reach life’s journeys
end,
I need not worry and I need not fear for my Lord brings peace and joy,
No matter what comes at me along life’s journey, in him I rejoice.

DEAR FATHER IN UNITY WE COME
Dear Father in unity we come seeking more revelation of who you are,
You are the Holy One; Glorious in Infinite Splendor you are,
And we long to see your Kingdom come in full reality,
For when heaven touches earth healing of the whole person is a surety.
We give you praise and thanks for you always provide for us,
We need never worry about having food provided for us,
For you provide the food on our tables and a roof over our heads,
So no matter what comes against us we will trust in you instead.
Forgive us Father for our foolish ways, for debts we have accumulated,
You have forgiven us so let us forgive those who against us sinned,
Help us to overcome the temptations that the devil casts our way,
That we might be overcomers, empowered by the Holy Sprit every day.
We will praise your Precious Name and give you all the glory,
Your precious cup of oil that anoints us to spread your “Good News”
story,
Of how you call sinners to repentance and wash away their sins,
And You want to heal every part of them cleansing them deep within.
So let the fire of heaven ignite us afresh to see the captives set free,
May the light of your countenance shine forth in us that people might
see,
Just even a glimpse of how marvelous and wonderful you are Dear God,
And they might come to the foot of the cross declaring Jesus as Lord.
We worship only you Our Lord and our God for you alone are Worthy,
There is none like you, in unison we cry Holy, Holy, Holy unto you.
How magnificent in glorious splendor you are Worthy, Worthy, Worthy,
And now in unity your people come with voices of one accord to
worship you.

RUNNING TOWARDS ABBA DADDY
17
EAGLES WILL SOAR TO THE THRONE OF GOD
And the enemy has been defeated, he’s in his last rampage,
For his days are numbered and he’s heading straight to hell,
And our dear Saviour the Lord Jesus is triumphant throughout the ages,
Now the glorious gospel of the Kingdom this message we must tell.
And if we seek His face and listen to His voice and obey our Lord ,
He who has equipped us with full armour including His Spirit Sword,
We will indeed soar up with the eagles to the throne of God,
And we will see heaven touch earth and the coming of the Kingdom of
God.
18
FINDING IDENTITY
I am not " Santa Claus" giving you your desired lots of toys,
Getting all you desire is not always good for my girls and boys,
But I have promised that when you walk with me,
Every one of your real needs will be met, just wait and see.
You may have said the sinners prayer as a ticket out of hell,
But who are you living for, is it me , or is it self?
Others who are mine, do not realize how much I love them,
They do not know that I want to heal all the hurt in them.
I want you healed up for the harvest so others might find me,
At the moment many of you do not know your true identity,
Yet you have to know that you carry your family stamp upon you,
I have given you an authority that comes with my name too.
In my name I have said you will cast out demons and heal the sick,
But it is my power you will walk in, don't self glorification seek,
I have asked you to lift my name up High that I might be glorified,
It's not your ministries, your church, it's time for you to self die.
I am a jealous God and I want you to give me all the praise and all the
glory,
You will put on your full spiritual armour and tell satan he is history,
And you will listen carefully to my voice a and you will follow me,
I will direct your paths each and every day you will walk with me.
Let coals of Holy Spirit fire fall upon your people today,
And let those burning embers fan into flame,
Make us burn with your holiness, Lord have your way,
Lord ignite us, may we be ablaze with your flame.
We want fire, we want fire; for you Lord are the object of our desire,
More, more, more, more of you Lord, alight the fire,
Fire of God fall on the nations, north to south, east to west,
And may we in this hour of Pentecost start to give you our best.
We are ruined for anything else but living for you and you alone,
And we come this day longing for another glimpse of your Heavenly
Throne,
Holy, Holy, Holy are you Lord,; Worthy, worthy, worthy are you Lord,
And we cry “More Lord,” “More Lord” with voices of one accord.
20
FRIEND ARE YOU HAPPY?
Do you long for someone to love you for just who you are?
Or could it be they love you for your fancy flash car?
Do you know the true meaning of having someone to love?
For lust and sexual attraction will never take the place of love.
But there is someone who wants to pour out His love upon you.
God so loved you He sent Jesus His only son to die for you,
Jesus died that you might be reconciled to a relationship with God,
All you have to do is confess your sins and accept Him at His Word.
For God wants to forgive your sins and give you a new life,
A life with real meaning, purpose driven, no more strife,
For the love of God the Father is a love beyond compare,
He will give you a life everlasting, take to Him your every care.
So my friend come to Jesus, He gave His life for you on the cross,
Ask Him into your life today and you will no longer turn and toss,
For there is real joy and freedom with Jesus as your friend.
And you will know a hope for sure beyond this life’s end.
21
THE HEART OF GOD FOR THE CITY
Don’t you see it was God who birthed compassion for the lost in you?
Can’t you see that as Jesus wept for Jerusalem He weeps for your city?
He says rise up my people, it is harvest time for you.
“Come walk with me through your city, it’s time to take the city.”
God desires to see the Kingdom of heaven come; He’s changing the city
air.
He is waiting for His people to rise up and violently take it by force.
We need to see that we already have the victory standing in faith.
We need to go to war against the principalities and powers of the air.
The enemy has been defeated; he’s headed for the pit of hell.
The victory is ours through Jesus our Lord, He’s prepared the way well,
Many tears have been shed from Heaven as Father God gazes down on
the city,
Then he sheds tears of joy when he hears his people intercede for their
city.
Like any good Father he wants to meet the needs of those who are
hungry.
He wants to feed and clothe those who are poor, and set the captives free.
He looks at men and women trapped in addictions and He wants them to
see,
That only through Jesus and His blood shed for them they can have real
victory.
There is a river flowing through the city of Glasgow and the river brings
life,
In times past many made their livelihoods in the shipyards by the docks,
Recent decades have meant shipyard closures, and many have had to find
work,
But the river still flows through the city and with it comes new life.
I see swirling waves birthing a river flowing through the city streets,
This river is the river of life flowing freely through the streets of this city.
22
God’s people from all denominations are taking the message to the
people they meet,
Salvation, signs wonders and miracles has come to the people of our city.
As the woman with an issue of blood once touched the hem of His
garment,
We as ambassadors for Christ are going to see strangers asking us about
Jesus,
We will lay hands on the sick with authority and all will be healed in
Jesus name.
Our shadows may bring healing to the sick for the Holy Spirit is forever
the same.
So let us the people of God arise as the Lord has called us to.
He is the Lord of the harvest and He is bringing forth the harvest,
The river of life is about to flow freely through the city,
I want to be immersed in that river as it flows through this city, don’t
you?
23
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
But the Lord wants to renew your youth and your strength,
He wants to take you and have you soar, with the eagles today,
For the best is yet to come ahead of you this day,
For you are being raised to new heights throughout your days length.
Your family and friends love you and wish you all the best,
May you know more and more of God’s wonderful peace and rest,
For He sees your heart and the love and care that you to others impart,
And before time began He had purposed to call you apart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Love from
24

. HOMECOMING
Irene McGough 2007 (Not personal testimony but written from the
perspective’s of those I have met, and seen how Jesus has broken in
through the darkness.)
28
I AM A SOLDIER
This armour the Lord has given me is thick and battle worn,
But after many years of use it is now mighty and strong,
The enemy may come trying to bring me down,
A defeated foe because Christ has gone before me and already won.
So I will pray at all times staying in touch with the battle commander,
For I need to be alert and watchful and in prayer persevere,
Interceding and upholding my brothers and sisters in prayer,
That they with me will keep fully intact their battle gear.
For when the army are fully united in the task in front of them,
Together we will function as the King’s men,
And together every foe, every enemy we will defeat,
For with one purpose we have learned at our Commander’s feet.

I KNOW I AM SAVED

INVITATION TO A WEDDING (the Wedding Feast of the Lamb)

JOY IN JESUS
Your Word says there is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents,
And that joy you have given me is for others around me too,
So Lord, let me share that love and joy with others as one who is sent,
For you Lord long to see others know the joy that only you can give too.
Holy Spirit you bear witness and have my cup overflowing with joy,
Fill me up with all joy and peace in believing, that I may live by Holy
Spirit power,
For I long to share with others something of your Glory this very hour,
And no matter what comes against me, I will rejoice with this wonderful
joy.
I want to tell you that someone really loves the real you,
It does not matter where you have been or who you have been with,
This love is unconditional and comes with forgiveness.
For God sent his son to die on Calvary’s cross for you.
Every hurt, all your fears, all your pain he wants to wash away,
37
The blood Jesus shed for you was for you to be made whole,
And he is in the business of healing every hurt in you today,
You need to come to Jesus though, making him Lord.
Father God stands with his arms open wide saying “Come home to me,
I have always loved you, I have seen ever hurt and all your tears,
I have seen your struggles for I have watched you throughout the years,
And I always cared, numbering even the hairs in your head can’t you see?
I want you to know that when you come to me I will never reject you,
The desire of my heart has always been for you my child to love me too,
I want to wipe away all your tears, and rid you of all of your fear,
My Son Jesus died that you and I might now be reconciled here.
38
For newly weds.
39
MY SOUL DOES MAGNIFY YOU
Lord you are mighty and you have done great things for me,
And Lord Your name is Holy and I want others to see,
That you shower grace and mercy on those who love You.
Generations have known your strong arm upholding them too.
40
POWER IN YOUR BLOOD
REVIVAL
42
All over the world there is a stirring of fresh revival,
As the people of God come repentant giving Jesus their all,
For we are no longer satisfied with what we had before,
We are coming hungry and thirsty, crying out for more.
43
SET ME ABLAZE WITH YOUR FIRE
44
SET THIS LAND ABLAZE
God wants to heal every hurt and pain making them whole,
And he knows all the needs of each mortal soul,
But many don’t know that Christ is the only Way,
For they have been confused by the ideologies of today.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS PROPHESY
My sheep here my voice and follow me, so come along with me,
I want to take you right into the deep places you have yet to perceive,
My dear bride I am awakening your spiritual eyes that you might see,
That with me all things are possible if you will only believe.
So, let your deaf ears be opened that you might clearly hear,
What I have to say to you all in this very hour and day,
Fresh wind is blowing and you will move into the realms of seers,
For my Spirit is hovering across the face of the deep today.
I have a word for your town or city, listen now and prophesy,
I will turn the hearts of many people back to myself can’t you see?
Prophesy the wind of change coming to your town or city,
For I will turn the hearts of the people away from their iniquity.
But you my bride need to get violent for the sake of the Kingdom,
Pray and prophesy to your land and many will receive freedom,
So write down the things that I have to say to my people today,
For this generation are rising up as a people of power for today.
When the enemy comes against you remember the victory is won,
For I go before you as your cloud by day and your fire by night,
I conquered the powers of darkness saying it is finished, it’s done,
So keep your focus on me, walk by faith, believing, not by sight.
Let the scales come off your eyes so you might see clearly and prophesy,
And deafness be gone that you might hear clearly what I have to say,
48
So here is the word that I have for you my dear bride today,
Come to me, there’s more, come closer to me, for I long for intimacy.
Humble yourselves before me, seek my face and I will heal your land,
I will hear your prayers and heartfelt cries and I will respond,
My promises in my Word are yes and amen and every promise I will
keep,
Come with a spirit of expectancy, only believing the harvest you will
reap.
For 2,000 years ago I asked you to love me and love others first,
And it’s only now when you are coming to me in hunger and thirst,
That you are now learning in part how to love as I love,
When you care like I care you will prophesy with wisdom from above.
For I will show you new things in the realms of the Spirit can’t you see?
You will see so much more clearly and confidently prophesy,
Discerning that it is my voice that you hear and my visions you see,
You will really know me as a wife knows her husband, you are coming to
maturity.
So, come my bride speak to the dry bones, and those bones shall live,
For the wind of my spirit is swirling over the dark places and breathing
life,
Chains are falling off the prisoners, being saved, healed, delivered and set
free,
For they are coming out of darkness and into the light, returning to me.”

TAKE ME BACK TO THE CROSS
Pilate asked the crowds who to release, would it be Jesus Son of Man?
But the crowds wanted release of the thief Barabbas the son of a man.
So Pilate gave Jesus up to the crowd, washing his hands of this dreadful
deed,
The King of the Jews wearing a crown of thorns, this would be agony
indeed.
But the bitterest cup of all was that which He swallowed on the cross,
When He took your sins and mine on His body on the cross,
54
They nailed Him to the cross piercing His hands and his feet,
And they made His grave with the wicked, He who knew no deceit.
My Saviours words to You Father were “Forgive them for they know not what
they do,”
Then as He was taking the sins of the whole world on Himself, He cried “It is
finished.”
And now I gaze upon that cross and get an inkling of what He suffered for me
and you,
I’m so thankful that He has forgiven me for it was for me His blood was shed.
The temple veil to the Holy of Holies was rent in two making way for me
to enter in,
A once for all sacrifice by the precious Lamb of God, Messiah, had been
paid for my sin
The grave couldn’t hold Him and on the third day the King of Kings rose
again,
Now He sits at the Father’s right hand on His heavenly throne, and soon
He’s coming again.
55
THANK YOU JESUS
56
THE BRIDEGROOM
Holy, Holy, Holy are you, Lord God Almighty, you call us your own,
Singing with the angels and elders around your throne,
“You’re worthy, oh Lord to receive all glory, honour and power,
Lord there is none like you, how we long for you in this hour.”
57
THE CRY OF A MOTHER’S HEART.
They would rather read fantasy books than your precious Word,
How I long for them to turn around and run to you Lord,
Sci – fi films and Harry Potter have become the order of the day,
They have so confused their reality and forgotten you are the Way.
And Lord I give you thanks that in all things you are in control,
The desire of your heart is to make all of my kids so completely whole,
I know that you have them all in the palm of your hand,
The day is coming closer when they will all for you make a stand.
58
THE YEAR OF THE GATE, 2008
Now that we have entered into the year two thousand and eight,
The prophets say it’s time for the people of God to go through the gate,
This gate takes us into the fullness of Kingdom reality,
We are entering into a new season, the place of defeat is history.
The Lord is calling us as Warriors, who will take the Kingdom by force,
The enemy may attack but we will stay strong and steady on our course,
To see the full power of the gospel of the Kingdom invade this earth,
May the glory of God so invade earth, in height; depth and breadth.
This gate that’s open wide is also a broadening of the way into God’s
Kingdom,
And during this year we will see many captives receiving their freedom,
For the Lord Jesus Christ Himself is the way the truth and the life,
His blood was shed that in repentance they might come through the gate
into life.
We need to pass right on in through the gate and press on in to the inner
courts,
For if we really want to tabernacle with Him we have to reach the Holy of
Holies,
The Kingdom’s gate is open for us to come up higher, to seek His Face,
And for this we must spend time alone with Him in the Secret Place.
His sweet presence is the key to the gate beloved, don’t you see?
For us to violently take the Kingdom we must see it’s not about you and
me.
Jesus said we shall be witnesses and see people healed in body mind and
spirit,
And for us to see this we must go forth empowered by the Holy Spirit.
59
THE GATES ARE WIDE OPEN. 8/8/2008
The winds are changing once again, it’s time to move on,
For the Lord has called us all with a purpose in the Kingdom,
And it is time for us the people of God to move into our destiny,
For the Fire of God is spreading and church as usual is history.
We shall possess the land, for it’s time to move into our inheritance,
And we have to abide within the tabernacle, for the Lord wants to us
romance,
The Kingdom’s gate is open for us to come up higher, to seek His Face,
And for this we must spend time alone with Him in the Secret Place.
His presence is the key to the gate and he has so blessed us in this hour,
Holy Spirit come, and keep filling us up afresh to move as a people of
power,
Jesus said we shall be witnesses and see people healed in body, mind and
spirit,
And for us to see this we must go forth empowered by the Holy Spirit.
60
ONLY BELIEVE
What men have beheld of the glory of the Lord is only the beginning,
Open wide the gates it’s time for the King of Glory to come right in,
We have only started to waken up; there is so much more, only believe,
For Jesus is coming back for a pure spotless bride, only believe.
Holy Spirit come with your refiner’s fire and purify our hearts,
Increase our longing; increase our desire for Jesus in our hearts,
For we long to be changed and take on his very nature,
We know that there is urgency in this hour for the bride to mature.
The Lord is jealous for our affections can’t you see he wants intimacy,
It is time for us draw real close, being taken to new levels of intimacy,
For the fullness of Kingdom reality is right at hand, only believe.
Step right into the realm of the supernatural now, only believe.
ONLY BELIEVE
62
THE KINGDOM
And you will lay hands on the sick and see them healed,
Spiritually, physically and mentally healed,
For it's time for you to know full Holy Spirit power,
He will equip and empower you for this very hour.
63
THE RIVER
The Holy Spirit reveals more of Jesus and the Father to us,
He brings incomparable joy, freshness, and communion with God,
And the river of living waters starts to really flow in our hearts,
And in turn those living waters will flow to others from our hearts.
My friend we need to go deeper in the river, ankle deep will not do,
Yes we need to go deeper in the river waist deep will not do,
To be freely flowing in this river we need to be swimming,
But we can only swim in the river when we venture right in.
So let’s put aside all fear of the deep for in the river is life,
And venture right in and swim and know abundant life,
For when we swim in the river Jesus is ever present with us,
And when we flow with the river the Holy Spirit empowers us.
The Lord’s glory is revealed in the river as the Spirit moves over the
deep.
The Holy Spirit will fill us up afresh so we can let the living waters flow,
For a river must flow out and we need to let the river flow out to people
in need,
So when we are flowing in the river reaching out to others we must go.

THE SEASON
65
I AM IN LOVE WITH A MAN
66
THERE IS SOMETHING WONDERFUL ABOUT THAT NAME
He’s the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end,
Our soon coming King who did to heaven ascend,
He’s the Author and Perfecter of our faith,
He is the Word of God so listen to what He says.
He is the eternal one and the way, the truth and the life.
It is only through Him that we can have eternal life,
He is the Lamb without blemish who gave His life for us,
He’s the Good shepherd who cares for sheep such as us.

I shed tears for the hurting Lord, but I want to care like you care,
And I know the love you have for the lost is love beyond compare,
Lord I truly want revelation of your heart, to love like you love,
That I might impart the kind of love to others that comes from above.

A LETTER TO THE 21st CENTURY CHURCH
Come and listen to what the Lord has to say to you today,
“Many of you are faithful in attending church every Sunday,
But where are you on Monday in school, college or the work place?
Yet your Pastor preached the message that you must surely seek my face.
I am the way, the truth and the life and I want to give you abundant life,
My plans for you are amazing you know but you have to say yes to my
call,
That’s right each of you has been called as a disciple of mine and I want
your all,
So child of mine will you respond today and give me your whole life?
Some of you have swallowed a lie which has enveloped the church
throughout the ages,
You believe that I stopped healing and the gift of prophecy disappeared at
the close of the New Testament Canon,
But this is a lie that satan has perpetuated to keep the body of Christ from
fulfilling the commission,
Yet I have told you that “I AM, I AM and yesterday today and forever I
am the same.”
My nature speaks of who I am, for I am your healer, and your provider,
I am your shepherd, your sanctifier, I give you peace, and I your creator
am also your protector,
And I have said that the gospel of the kingdom will be preached
throughout the world,
For that to happen the body of Christ need to tell the people that I am
Lord.
77
I have said to you my people, that you would do even greater works than
I,
And yet it has still to happen even where revival is flowing and I want to
ask you why?
Could it be that you have yet to learn to really walk with me in intimacy
in the secret place?
Come right up into those heavenly places and abide with me and you will
see my face.
Return my people to your first love, can’t you hear my voice calling to
you?
I will return for a bride whose hearts are truly committed to loving me
too,
I said to you seek my face, but many of you your love has waxed cold,
Repent and return to me and I will not forget you in the days when you
are old.
Many have been ravaged with sickness in the body, forgetting sometimes
to commune with me,
Others among you have not correctly discerned my body when taking the
bread and wine,
Yet I have said that by the scourging that I took you will be healed can’t
you see?
It was for you, yes you that my blood was shed you see, so remember that
when you take the bread and wine.
I have told you that each of your bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit,
Yet many of you have abused your bodies with sins like gluttony,
This is a hard message I know but I want you to know that you have
always been loved,
Humbly turn your whole hearts over to me today and I will heal your land
and pour out my Spirit.
And yet I see there are growing numbers in the church who are turning
their faces towards me,
It truly delights my heart when you my beloved come seeking for a great
revival to see,
And I delight to make my presence know to you as you come seeking my
face,
The veil was rent in two that you might enter the Holy of Holies in the
secret place.
78
So my dearly beloved, I want you to truly desire and love me, for I so
long for you,
Come take my hand and walk with me, give me your all this day and
every day,
And you will know sweet intimacy and no matter what this world puts
your way peace I will give you,
Take my hand and I will direct all your paths and show you the way”
79
YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE
You said “Father forgive them for they not what they do,”
Then looking into heaven “ I commit my spirit unto you,”
Finally as the bitter cup you took saying “It is finished,”
And upon that cross you breathed your last and died.
Hallelujah, praise you Lord for that was not the end,
Today, you are risen, ascended and glorified,
Some day soon in full resplendent glory your face I’ll see,
What an amazingly wonderful day that is going to be.
