Come Dear Lord

Come sit with us, Dear Lord,

that all we say and see be led,

not by us, but by You instead,

be revealed in the broken bread.

Come sit with us, Dear Lord.

Come walk with us, Dear Lord,

beside us in the morning light,

set our hearts and minds aright.

May You become our sole delight.

Come walk with us, Dear Lord.

Come stay with us, Dear Lord,

when shadows deepen into night,

wrap our souls in mercy’s light,

and hold us gently by Your might…

Come stay with us, Dear Lord.

Better Ending

Life can throw a wreck your way
and shake you for a while,
but nothing on this broken road
can dim your precious smile.

The blame that wasn't yours will pass;
the truth will rise in time.
Don't let this moment weigh you down-
in no time you'll be feeling fine.

Your spirit’s made of stronger stuff
than metal, fear, or doubt.
And seeing your great smile again,
we just can't live without.

So lift your head, breathe deep, hold on;
for brighter roads are up ahead.
This chapter isn't who you are,
a better ending will be yours instead.

Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past,
and those for which I haven't asked.
Forgive me when I neglect to pray;
instead, desiring my own way.

Forgive the many times I've lied,
and covered up my sins with pride.
Forgive my failures, great and small,
and even those I don't recall.

Cleanse my soul from head to toe.
In everyway help me to know-
You're the Savior of every sin,

every sin that has ever been.

Composing my Soul

My eyes are not haughty,
  my heart is not proud.
I'll shun all things worldly, 
  confusing and loud. 

May I learn to rest only
  in God's loving grace,
composing my soul in
  His warmest embrace. 

May we all hope in God,
  both now and forever,
through triumph, trials, 
  and every endeavor.

(based on Psalm 131) 

Unbelievably

He's unbelievably faithful
  and yet still I believe.
He's unbelievably generous,
  yet still I receive.

He's unbelievably gracious,
  even when I am not.

He's unbelievably caring,
  when I'm most distraught.

He's always near and loving,
  in times of greatest grief.
Lord, You know I do believe,
  but help my unbelief.

One Act of Love

 If each day were distinguished

  by at least one act of love,

we might find that over time

  we're graced from up above.. 

Loving acts could multiply,

  til all we say and do, 

born in the love I'm speaking of,

  in God's own point of view.

God is loving and always kind,

  so we should act the same-

start out with one, always done

  in love and in His name.

You, He'll Never Forget

Our Lord loves like no other
  and you, He'll never forget,
so trust in Him, my brother,
  for He hasn't failed us yet.

As the world turns, it may fall,
  but this one truth I know -
the very One who made it all,
  will never let us go.
