TELL YOURSELF

WAKE UP INSIDE
COME ALIVE
LET LOVE BE YOUR REASON
GIVE ALL OF YOURSELF
GIVE EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT
TELL YOURSELF
THIS IS THE DAY
THE LORD HAS MADE
DECIDE TO BE GLAD
CHOOSE TO GIVE
WHAT YOU NEVER HAVE

YOU WILL AWAKEN
TO TRUE LOVE
REVIVAL WILL START
FIRST IN YOUR OWN HEART
UNSELFISH
FORGIVENESS
GENEROUS MOTIVES
MULTIPLYING AND UNITING A SPARK
RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE

TELL YOURSELF
THERE IS SOMETHING MORE
SOMEWHERE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM ONCE AGAIN
AND YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
A LIFE WELL LIVED
TIME WELL SPENT...

FURTHERMORE

Come home. Be here.
Come down from where you are.
Come back. Sit down
Speak your mind. Stay here a little while.
Come here. Write. Your thoughts. Your hopes.
The places you are desiring to go. Be found. Believe.
Take heart. You are right where you need to be...

And furthermore, you are more than you realize.
You are healed from the hurts. You are rescued from the deep.
You are held in the arms of the one who watches you sleep.
You are secure. You are strong. You are pleasing in His sight.
Hang on. Be still. Not much longer. Speak life.

In the blink of an eye. Everything is subject to change.
Never lose hope. Take shelter in the Most High.
You can smile. You are free.
You are who and how God has made you to be.
You are loved. You are enough.
Rest on this. He will complete the work He has begun in you.

GOD'S WILL

Awake my soul, come alive
Come close to Him, seek and find
You need nothing but truth to fill your mind
Be dressed in His glory, open your eyes.

He alone satisfies your desires
Fans into the flame, holy fire
Causing you to discern and understand
Your greatest need is to take hold of his hand.

Let go of everything else
That tries to steal your time and hunger
Go low, go now, go under
Take the lowest place...

Cry out. Be still.
You will grow and learn and know your Father's will.

HIS RETURN

Day is coming
Better start running
To the finish line
Stop wasting time

Night is falling
Deception blinding
Distractions are many
Excuses are multiplying

Stop wasting time
Better start running
To the finish line
Day is coming

His return
Let us be sober
Pay attention
Be about our Father's business.

MERCIFUL SOVEREIGN

OH HOW THE LORD LOVES TO BE MERCIFUL
HE LOVES TO HEAR HIS PEOPLE PRAISE
HE INSPIRES THE BROKEN TO HEAR A SONG
AND THAT SONG GIVES US STRENGTH TO PRAY

HE BUILDS INTRICATE AMAZING HEARTS
FROM THE GARDEN HE KEEPS NIGHT AND DAY
HE WATERS, HE SANCTIFIES, HE PURIFIES
HE CALLS FORTH AND CULTIVATES DEEP LOVE AND TRUTH

HE ALONE HOLDS THE UNIVERSE TOGETHER
AND QUIETS THE MOTHERLESS CHILD
HE LIVES TO MAKE INTERCESSION
HE RAISES THE WEARY FROM THE DEPTHS

HE ALIGNS THE LOST TO FIND THEIR WAY
MERCIFUL SOVEREIGN GREATEST OF ALL
HE IS THE REASON WHY WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE!
OUR STRENGTH, OUR SONG, OUR EVER LASTING KING

DRAW NEAR O PEOPLE
ALL WHO HAVE AN EAR TO HEAR
DRAW NEAR O PEOPLE
CALL UPON HIS NAME

SOVEREIGN MERCIFUL PRECIOUS LORD
HIS WAYS ARE HIGHER
HIS TIMING IS PERFECT
HIS LOVE IS DEEP

I REALLY MISS YOU

Sometimes all I can do is stare at her picture
I really miss her
I see her in my dreams
Almost a year has past since she's been gone
She lives on...
I think I hear her voice or feel her hugs at times
Oh the pain of growing up
Of missing the ones we love that leave us behind
The memories that become our companions
And the faith that grows by standing
In grace we find mercy to face the hard times
All of God's word proves true
Thankful for all the time we had
And the times that are yet to come
Thankful you took the time to teach me Mom
I really really miss you.

LITTLE LIGHTER

Oh Lord, to whisper your name To think of all the ways You have saved me Thank You for hearing my prayers With all the heaviness of day to day Prideful, distractions, and vain imaginations I look to You - divine deep truth That accomplishes great things and gets to the root I am a little bit lighter When I hold on in the midst of the fire When I wait for a moment And realize that You are with me

LITTLE LIFE BLESSINGS

To whisper your name And count the ways You have come to save me

FOREVER MORE

Alive with hope and energized by love
Understanding responsibility and reason
I am grateful to be by the fire meditating on truth
Tasting the sweetness of this season
Being reminded that waiting never stops
Even when everything is subject to change
Patience is born of humility and trials
Love is equal parts joy and pain
Sweet burning embers of my heart
Reflect the glory of the Lord
Keep His word ever before you
Focus on forever more.

And by the fire may it come to you
A deeper knowing than ever before
Love is chasing you down
Never gets tired of holding your heart Leading you by the hand Look up to heaven cast your cares
Do not put your hope in man
Only the Lord knows your smallest need, hope, and desire
He alone is the strength of your life
and your every prayer by the fire Focus on forever more.
