O King, I come to Thee
Bowing low at Thy feet
My eyes behold Thy glory
I can scarcely speak
Be not far from me, O Lord
Shine ever bright in here
Let me but hear Thy voice, O God
And by Thy grace draw near
I remember back when Thou awoke me first
Yearning every look of Thine eyes
Always every word Thou hast spoken to me
Has kept my heart alive...
Deeper daily I live for Thee
Increasing desire I find
To ever know Thee more
My dearest friend of all times
Thou art with me as no one else can say
Through the watches of the night and in the dawn of every day
Thou alone hast become my greatest comfort and song
My secret sanctuary all the day long.

MORE
A sudden whisper I hear
My Lord, The King is near
And with Him a procession of purpose, endless courage
Write it down, mix it with faith, be nourished
Look upon the truth, let it fill all of you
Let freedom sanctify, wash, and cloth
Make you ready and be all that you know
An assurance of change somehow sustains
Inspiration like sunlight dancing in the rain
A gentle joy comforts my mind
You're in me and I'm in You forever in time
Though now, through daily duties and chores
I miss you, I seek you, I long for more
While all else continues to come and go
When the day is spent, keep me close
I will gladly wait and live to explore
Guarding attentively all my windows and doors
Choosing the blessing and not a curse
By letting everything else take second, I put you first.
Shaken I shutter to think, to feel, I must
No presence is more real, I receive, I trust
What I have known in you
Your blood poured out to prove
True love surpasses flesh and bone
It gives, it does not seek its own
Overlooking mistakes, empowering deep within
Giving vision desire with a hunger to begin again
It pleases you to delight in me
This free-willed little one who sometime cannot see
Your love does not change
Good or bad day
You want me just like this
No matter how unprepared, unsteady, every bit, all the way.

PSALM 56:4-9
"In God I praise His word,
In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear what flesh can do unto me."
Something more beautifying the meek
Sacrafice that is pure and sweet
Something of precious worth to me
Beautiful and deep
Teach me to exercise the authority given
and remember that the darkness is under your feet
"Thou knowest my wonderings:
Put thou my tears into Thy bottle...
When I cry unto thee,
Then shall my enemies turn back:
This I know;
God is for me."
In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear what flesh can do unto me."

MORNING GLORY
Burn in me Word of God
Clinging to You I gladly sever earthly ties
With adoration and constant praise
I declare to all - You are my life
Let all I am lay in the dust

Spirit of Truth guide my thoughts
Deliverer shine in my eyes
Morning Glory I behold Your brilliant strength
My Maker, My Husband - I bow low at Your feet
I am able to stand fearless now and face the future
Confident of Your unfailing love for me
Clinging to You I gladly sever earthly ties
With adoration and constant praise

I am able to stand fearless now and face the future
Confident of Your unfailing love for me

HIDDEN PLACES
HIDDEN PLACES BENEATH THE HEART
HOMELESS AND WAITING TO BE A PART
OF ACCEPTED LIVING
WAITING AROUND THE NEXT CORNER
BORED - A LONER
IGNORING THE AVERTED EYES
OF THE CARELESS PASSERBY
WHEN THE HOPELESS AT HEART
COULD VERY WELL BE
THE WELL-CLOTHED FOOL
OR THE ALMOST NAKED OUR EYES REFUSE TO SEE
“I AM RICHER THAN YOU”
THE POOR PONDER IN THEIR MINDS
WRESTLING WITH BITTERNESS TO SOME DEGREE
REACHING OUT FOR A SINGLE DROP OF KINDNESS
LONGING TO BE FOUND, TO BE FREED
BY A HEART THAT WOULD CHOOSE TO GIVE
WITHOUT SHOWING FAVORITISM
THIS INSTRUMENT OF MERCY
YOU AND ME...
IF WE WOULD ALLOW GOD IN
TO INTERRUPT OUR AGENDAS
OUR SELF APPOINTED POSITIONS
AND RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS
THEN WE COULD SEE WITH OUR EYES
AND HEAR WITH OUR EARS
TURN OUR HEARTS TO HIM
AND BE HEALED
BE REAL
TAKEN A PART, FULFILLED
FOR THE VERY PURPOSES WE WERE CREATED FOR
LORD, BURN AWAY THE DROSS
AND GIVE US PATIENT ENDURANCE TO SURRENDER IT ALL.
Mark 11:45 ...”For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 25:34 -40 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?
“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’“
God please open my heart to all of your ways, burn your words on my heart so deep that I will never look away. Jesus, that I may exist for your will and purposes alone.

HAVE YOU?
Have you seen the sunsets lately? Then you've seen the glory of his majesty. Have you seen the morning sunrise? The Lord greets you with the art of his creation, His smile. Have you been near the water lately? Then you've witnessed how deep His love is for you. Have you looked to your left and to your right, to the east and to the west? That's how far he has cast your sins from you and remembers them no more.
Have you watched the rain & the storm? Then you know His voice thunders in the clouds, he saves every one of your tears in a bottle, and He reminds you just how close he is in the hard times. Have you heard a song that catches your attention and reminds you how much you long for the closeness of true love? He sings over you. His desire is for you. His love is longing for you with the intensity of everlasting, unconditional, faithfulness. Have you watched a movie lately with an extremely good script it seemed to good to be true? Well He has written the scriptures for your listening and viewing pleasure - You and God are the main characters.

So why not take God personally? Let your life be what others are watching and learning from. What does a person look like, talk like, act like who really knows God? Have you considered that while you continue going along your way...others are following you? Wherever that might be? Have you considered that your life is not just affecting you, but many others? Why not live the truth...live for Jesus and not for yourself.

COVERING
Since ever I remember I've had protection
sometimes closer than I could see
Then as I grew of age it seemed it was across the miles...
over time my heart has grown to desire
A greater fulfillment of what is being offered me.
It's true that I've enjoyed freedom, hungering for the truth
My hopes have permitted me this and your smiles have agreed...
I have trusted in what I could not see
as faith has held my hand and not let go
Walking many roads, some of which for the first time
others I still await the chance to go...
I pray the place I end up is nothing less than my Father's will.
longing for peace and the grace to belong
In a place where my family holds a home for me
encouraging me to go further, to set my sights, to just be free.
As the future comes and each page is turned, I would hope to say
that no matter the journey - I have traveled all the way
To this place you have found me, even when I walk alone
my heart is beating fast as I am soon approaching the love that
is waiting for me...when I go home.
Home is where you are Lord.

Take us beyond ourselves
We know nothing, we have nothing
You are power and glory
You move these lips to tell the story
You empty the weary hearts
You restore the lost years
You strengthen the weak and eliminate fear
You and You alone know all things
Reveal Yourself to us...
You hear all the noise that tries to busy our ears
You see all the motions that sway before our eyes
You see the burdened, the beggar, the servant and sinner
SAVE US ALL!!!
Overcome us God with the might of You
Your forgiveness and love knows no bounds
THANK YOU
Empty and fill, breakdown and build up
We stand in awe of You.
In between places reaching for you JESUS

WALK ON
Sometimes people may lose track of you, and get too busy to care
Sometimes you may not have the energy to take the next step forward
Days may come that you've seen it all before
Silence fills your ears, cast the doubts aside
-You must walk on.
Emotions may find you without a clue, crying desperately for answers
but you don't hear an immediate response
When work seems it will never change; the hours are getting longer
When you feel no one knows you exist, your home and friends are dearly missed
-You must walk on.
If confusion fills your mind, truth is just a prayer a way
When you feel forgotten or less despised, you must remember
you are hidden treasure in the Saviour's eyes
If life is overwhelming, you can't seem to find a way
put your hope in his love, he is the way
-You must walk on.
When habits overcome the strongest of your will
ask the Lord's forgiveness and just be still
When trials are more than you can take
Your heart is hardened, He wants you to break for Him
-You must walk on.
If you're discouraged, finding it hard to choose
the path has already been chosen, He walks before you
His love is greater, His ways are higher
You are His heart's desire
-You must walk on.

SWALLOW
I needed this today...a little bit of an awakening
a swallow of light and a taste of humility
As moments are produced in the madness of my soul
to drive by a picture, framed with the glory of Your gold
Bursting from the seams, are your praises my King
every ounce of me doesn't know whether to scream or cry
If this were my last chance to deny myself - I am first in line
faith takes me on a free fall as I let go to look into Your eyes
In You I see complete definition
and that is what I want to be so desperately
As you have formed a human body from an earthly attire
so I know it only takes You only a moment to shape me to your desire
Do so oh, Lord, if only to break me inside
to show me the true beauty You have enhanced is nothing to hide
You have made me right that I can stand by You, right by your side
Your pure and holy, innocent, spotless Bride...
I wait for You - deepen my love for You.

UNDRESSED
Uprooted...booted to the curb
the resistance, the nerve
I need you no more
self-reliance, defiance
Take a seat before you leave
I would like you to meet
Humility and True compassion
They are here to stay
To remind me of my Hope in God
and the great privilege I have to pray
Leaving all burdens and cares
in the courts of the King Himself
Who died the greatest death
the pain of the world he felt
I refuse to take a watered down view
of this ultimate sacrifice
I choose to suffer with Him
and pour out my life
To do this I will have to oppose
the expectations of all whom I know
My peace will be His word, His promise
to do God's will...abide...and be satisfied...I am counting on it.
Walk I will one day, with those who I love and long to know
To look upon their brilliant faces - stranger, friend, family or foe
There will be no more silence, misunderstandings, or empty spaces of not knowing
Only pure, deep love, the greatest communion that keeps on going
Until every heart of faith becomes undone and transparently clear
no doubt will be found only joy instead of tears
Undressed of this earth we will finally be free
reflecting perfect light, in His presence, constant indwelling will be
O How I long for this day to come,
where we will at last become One.

Flowing in the center of
God’s perfect will
Giving up more of this--
My own point of view
Living out being blessed
Capture and arrest my helplessness too
Ruthless in your pursuit
Your way - not mine
Speak your Majesty
Your words define
All in all, beginning without end
I’m desperate my faithful friend
To know You
To be known by You
Incredible Love you flood my life
Surrounding me with your glory
May I never doubt Your Word
Your promises are everlasting
You choose to speak to me
Even more to speak through me
What is man that you should think of him?
Who am I that you should care?
You are gracious to remind me daily
I am your Beloved
You are there
In the midst of all
Indwelling, creating, sustaining
Remaining faithful though I am not
You alone are just and true
Come cover me, make me more like You.
After reading Psalms 19 THANK YOU for Your refreshing WORD that is new ...reviving the soul.

UPON THE STORM
Write true meaning upon the storm
Words of wisdom You perform
Pour them forth as you do the rain
Bring refreshing new life
Cultivate the ground of me
Change, activate, set free
Make skillful this mine understanding
Master of all who gives to the hungered
Providing satisfying the need of every living thing
Teach me to speak as only You can do
By faith lead a life that is tried by fire
Reflecting truth in the innermost parts
Bringing forth pure desire
To change, to live life for more set part
How desperately I want to be found
Innocently meditating on the truth
Leaving behind the fragments of the past
Reflecting as in a mirror the glory of You
Glory, glory, glory I will
In the fact I am nothing at all
All glory to my maker who fills
Every mouth, every heart, every desire
To the uttermost...
Honor and Glory and Power be unto You
The sweet Lamb of God.

Is this not the absolute beauty that was designed to be
Our sanctuary, a setting of pure simplicity, a gift to many
Our time on this earth to worship and give thanks and enjoy plenty
To explore the unknown and experience the dangerous terrain
Of seeking what waits just over the horizon of change
Giving and forgiving, learning what it means to live life and love more
To bless and sanctify and truly become all that we were made for
Watching our troubles become like waters gone by
Trusting in the might of our God we fly
On eagles wings, our righteousness shines like the dawn
We join together, take the next step by faith, and travel on....

RATHER
I'd rather walk the desert in distant lands
than live a minute without you
I'd rather be in search of what I can't find
than to know a moment away from the truth
I'd rather face the darkest night
than not choose what's right
I'd rather live in a storm I can't escape
than never know your embrace
I'd rather have a lonely heart
than to know I've disobeyed
I'd rather never have an experience
if I have to experience it without You
I'd rather be blinded
than not to have layed
It all down as You would
being subjected to all loss
Looking farther than our eyes could see
seeing the glory in the cross
Give me strength, Lord
not to just give up
Make me simpler - God
that I will seek Your will
Give me boldness that I can say
the words that need to be
Said...maybe not right now
but let me know Your heart in this
That it may be proved somehow
that I am Your servant God
waiting only on You
Not looking at circumstances
believing what Your power can do
I am so in love with You~
JESUS.

I'd rather be in search of what I can't find
than to know a moment away from the truth
I'd rather face the darkest night
than not choose what's right
I'd rather live in a storm I can't escape
than never know your embrace
I'd rather have a lonely heart
than to know I've disobeyed
I'd rather never have an experience
if I have to experience it without You
I'd rather be blinded
than not to have layed
It all down as You would
being subjected to all loss
Looking farther than our eyes could see
seeing the glory in the cross
Give me strength, Lord
not to just give up
Make me simpler - God
that I will seek Your will
Give me boldness that I can say
the words that need to be
Said...maybe not right now
but let me know Your heart in this
That it may be proved somehow
that I am Your servant God
waiting only on You
Not looking at circumstances
believing what Your power can do
I am so in love with You~
JESUS.
