To Be Known

To Be Known

It feels like I was
Made by You
To live with You
By You to be known
Through & through
To exist with You

Praise You, Lord God
Praise You
Thank You for
Taking the time
Upon Your earth
To trod

Thank You
For my existence
For the joy of being
Able to listen
As You speak
Or are quiet
Thank You for still
Wanting us
Watching
Even at times
As we are so corrupt

So Thank You
For making us
To live so close
To You
Gathering us in
As our hearts
You try to win
And make us 
Your very own!

No Other Place

No Other Place

No other place
Except your shining face
To run to
When the walls
They collapse, they fall
One day you're
Standing tall
The next
Laying face down
In the dust

Amidst the rush
Of a world gone insane
Unceasingly creating
its own pain
For us
Of all this godlessness
There will be no gain

So for you 
Before it's too late
Make the Living God
Your strong portal
And be allowed
To start eternity
Through Heaven's 
Shining gates!
