UP Up Between earth And sky A Savior died Not easily But in agony Sweat, blood That bright red fluid The only power To unleash the flood Of God's forgiveness So the next time You feel alone, lost Just look up To the man On the cross By faith will You be lifted up To live in Him Between His golden Gates you'll walk And His eternal love Forever win!
Into the Out Why do we try To hold within What was meant to be so out Buildings were never Meant to contain Words powerful Enough to sustain An entire planet Do we really believe A church's walls Are the only place A person's soul Can feel the call Of Christ It can happen on the streets It can happen Where we eat Sometimes, Even as we sleep So, God's church Get out do That work Heaven's great loss Brought about on a cross For us also to sacrifice Others to save Bring to them a better way For our whole planet See a completely new day!!
Ferociously Wonderful! Ferociously wonderful Brighter in every way Than A million Or perhaps dare I say A trillion Suns Tirelessly God, you work Your Spirit To usurp satan's evils So on and on You go Trying to grab, grasp (Even ferociously if You have to) Our attention So evil will surrender And in our hearts Take its last dying gasp
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!!
Tears Many tears Upon the earth do fall Many voices raise Laments, they call God hears each word Each whispered thought Within His own heart’s walls Are they forever caught Does He do the same For all our tears As they release All our pain, our fears Does He gather Each tear as it drops Into His loving hands Do they make their final stop? Does He perhaps return All tears back to His earth From whence they came So they new life may seek to reclaim To water the plants For our souls do the same If so, it only goes to remarkably show That even tears can make things grow!!
In My Ears The Lions Roar In my ears The lions roar Around us Every moment, Every hour Trying over us To exert Their destroying power One lion roars Then another Loud, strong Around us pacing Hot breath in our face Watching, waiting Until a gentle whisper Taps upon your shoulder Soft at first Then growing bolder Its blazing light Reveals Christ's Full glory, Power, Controlling might As soon as they sense This Almighty Prince That very second One last defiant roar emitting They cringe They cower In their lower station more befitting So do not give in To floods of tears Those overwhelming fears Over everything Christ wins His armies He will send To bring to you A restful peace As in His loving embrace He will settle His sheep, That Lions' Master, In a restful, safer pasture!
