ON OUR FACES

Days are passing faster now
While some watch and pray
All creation groans in expectation
Longing for the wedding day

The sun rises and falls
Children await their redemption
Tears run down as we call
And wait for The King's provision

We behold His glory on our faces
Overflowing with joys we can hardly express
His words we have hidden in our heart
The strength of His presence we cannot forget

His songs we have sung
His faithfulness we have known
There is none beside our God
Who shall come and rescue His own.

WAIT FOR IT

Dirt, water, sun and seed
Material elements a need
Time for cultivation
Love and Patience
Wait for it

Sprouting up, thinning some
Hungry for harvest to come
Just a little longer
Getting a bit stronger
Wait for it

Observing the growth
Weathering some changes
Roots growing deep down
Nutrients added final stages
Wait for it

Continually preparing
Always at the ready
Making use of the time
Thankfully sharing
Wait for it

I HEED IT

I need to heed it
Every word of God
Not make excuses
About my own disobedience
And why I am not
I need to heed it
And lay everything else aside
For in the end
Nothing else will matter
Except that Jesus is glorified
I need to heed it
Nothing less will do
Lay down my life
For the least of these
Is every one of you

UNSETTLE

Unplug the attachments
To temporary devices
Pack light, get ready
Make disciples of all nations

Uphold the Kingdom
Speak the truth
Hide God's Word
Inside of You

Understand wisdom
Is Jesus First
Trust fears not
and overcomes

Unbroken is every promise
of God toward man
You will do well to
seek first His Kingdom and understand

Unlike any other
Is He who sits enthroned above
He is and was and will forever be
Unfailing unchanging love

Unsettle yourself
Put your wedding clothes on
The Bridegroom is near
The Spirit and The Bride say come

He will not delay His coming
For this He has already spoken
He stands at the door and knocks
If anyone will open...
