The Tear Don't cry, Lord Jesus Why that tear Does a sorrow to you Draw too near I lay my cheek upon your hand As flowers around my head Do blend Let me love you Oh my God, my dear You lift the crystal fluid Off your cheek Wait a moment Before you speak It is not for sorrow That my eyes do weep But for pure joy That in eternity Forever more May I now you keep!
Let Go! He’s after our hearts That deepest, personal part Waiting to instill Himself That raging, destructive old nature To kill But He needs your permission Your total submission For us to bend our knees If a different, better world We truly wish to see So, Let Christ have your total self Don’t hide pieces upon a darker shelf Bring out all that you are Obeying that Spirit’s inner call For evil’s thick, stone walls to crumble As Jericho’s walls will they fall And Our King will rush in More precious souls to win Before that last curtain call As around us all creation falls Is rendered useless, Disappears in a roar Christ’s face will appear His power at last crystal clear And for your faith He will wipe away all our tears
In My Bones In my bones I know I have another home Another place To live before a face More beautiful Than any other It is man’s greatest hope But Comes most of the time With an inner struggle Seeming sometimes a great mystery Or a somewhat confusing puzzle Still God promises if we try We are assured of the greatest prize A home before His beauty Forever So lift up your eyes, Your very souls Make His will Your life’s greatest goal And learn to let go Of that raging inner self For It is not I that lives But Christ that lives in me!!
The Voice We scurry We hurry Caught up in distractions We forget the impaction Of ignoring Ignoring what you say? The only face That dispenses grace Every heartbeat every day For the world That's simply their way But For a Christian? It means we've failed To stop & listen To the only One In the position To stop the insanity Darkness surrounds us To us Christ entrusts His truths, His light To dispense To a world never meant To be this lost When we His church Get so caught up In the world's culture We forget to nurture HIM IN US Then by our silence And this our choice Christ has no voice & only doom awaits!
Praise Only a darkness To surround My small soul No one to comfort To cajole Beaten down Into a hardened ground But When it comes time For my last sound May it be to praise Praise You, Lord Jesus, Praise You
Rest That physical pump Inside my chest Someday will stop As my fragile shell Receives its eternal rest In peace I pray I will be allowed to go If while on earth That is what I tried to sow Enter God's rest You children of the King Rise up in joy On the back of His great eagle's wings Rise in spiritual prosperity As you prance, dance forever In God's joyfilled gaiety
