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 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!
Huddling We huddle in buildings On one particular day To throw a few coins up onto a stage Mumbling, Sing just one more song Hoping it won't last Too long Is that really The picture We want to paint Of today's struggling Church Do we go just in case We might need God to Help us out of A sudden lurch? What's happened To the passion, Devotion Of a first century It grew rapidly, Even exponentially Ah, to see That increase today!! But It takes courage Putting God first Before everyone, Everything So Let our songs ring Out loud the words sing Into our daily actions Out onto The busy, chaotic streets As other souls we meet In our hearts Do not let Christ's examples Abate As more & more His Holy Spirit We come to live out & to joyfully imitate!!
This was the most important event in human history. The day the God of peace and justice decided to exact our punishment for our rebellion against Him on His One and Only Son, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of the Only Living, Breathing God who willingly took the task upon Himself for reconciling us to His and our Heavenly Father. Praise You Lord God and Jesus Christ Your Only Son for Your Mercy and Forgiveness! Have a very God-blessed day!!!
The Remedy A world, My own country Awash with New, old corruptions Causing all these Unfamiliar disruptions To marriages Governments, Our born and unborn Children Perverting, wasting Lives Why oh why Will we not accept The Remedy Stares us in the face Instead of listening To our foe, that Ancient enemy We destroy ourselves With disobedience Ingest contaminated Ingredients From a satan so devious He rains filth Upon our heads I pray for my country That I love so much Our money states 'In God we trust' Then let's do that Return to Him He will return to us So let's arise, Wake up Give our best, strongest Thrust To save as many As we can As Christ holds open With His own nail scarred Hands The gates to His Eternity's Promised Land!
Uncomfortable This doesn't really feel like home I rant, I rave I moan, Even give a little Groan It stirs in my blood A longing, this need Sometimes just a trickle Or quite often A loud, roaring flood A need arises Raises its head, A flower's tender bud, Then opens Inside my deeper place I start to recognize That for which I hurt, I sigh I believe it is this, This place doesn't fit This world, this place Well, it's just wrong My heart, it misses Dear Lord, Your face My fingers itch, they burn Longing to be allowed Once again to return Close enough to trace Your beauty, Your love's grace But for now I must live here This becomes ever more clear Until I leave this fragile shell However, for today, You desire others of You I must tell This world's pain, Which we all daily see Was never meant to be Christ's Reconciliation My Faith's Compensation A Return to Your perfection In silence I stand & wait As one of your heaven's gates Swings slightly open Daring to call my name!
