Words I'm Saying

Not always sure of the words I'm saying,
the feelings I feel or the part I'm playing.
But this I do know and firmly proclaim-
God great love remains just the same.

When there's no words, no part, no feeling,
He lovingly lavishes mercy and healing.
So when I'm not sure, to Him I'll cling,
then rest and sing to my heavenly King!

Lose myself in Thee

Oh that I might lose myself
  and all my works of dust,
to then become so lost in Thee-
  my everlasting trust.

Be closer than the air I breathe-
  my heart and soul's desire.
Let me lose myself in Thee,
  within Your Holy Fire!

May Thy Word's eternal light
  fill every passing scene;
may Thy love within prevail,
  till Thou alone art seen.

Lighten my Darkness

Be the light in my darkness, O Lord,

  a torch in the black of my night. 

Be living breath in the valley of death, 

  that Your glories burn ever bright. 

When I'm weak, make me stronger, 

  when I'm down, cheer my heart.

Always guide me, dwelling inside me,

  and from me, Lord, never depart.

Each New Day

How senseless and ignorant often I turn,
making the ways of the world my concern.
Then after the pain from each evil event,
I beg for forgiveness and try to repent.

It seems I'm now caught in a cycle of sin-
I'm clean for a season, then sinning again.
Thank God, despite my valleys and trails,
with each new day, His love never fails.

Let your Heart go Forth

Let your heart go forth to meet Him,
  wherever you range or roam..
    Whether here or there,
      in depths of despair,
    or so far away from home.

Let your heart go forth to meet Him.
  Lay down your burdens and rest.
    He's always near,
    sees every tear,
  and calls you to be His guest.

If you have God

If you have God, you have all things,

and without God, you have nothing-

nothing on earth of value or worth, 

and nothing worth even discussing.

But if you have God living within, 

there's no greater eternal treasure-

love and light, its depth and height 

exceeds anything you can measure. 

Unexpected Jesus

Come Thou unexpected Jesus,
  surprise us with Your presence.
May Your Spirit fall afresh-
  Your Holy, Blessed essence.

Come Thou to live within us,
  invade the deepest parts,
keep us by Your loving grace
  and heal the hardest hearts.

Come, though we're unworthy,
  whether morn or afternoon.
Come when least expected-
  we're hoping that it's soon.
