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

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
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...

TRUTH BE TOLD
Cannot smile at the lies they tell our children
Yet expect them to grow up and be upright and honest
Clapping for the actors and superficial behaviour
Encouraging them to believe in something but not the Saviour
Painting for them make believe pictures not to offend
Made up stories, singalong, pretend
Call it traditions, pass them on
If it feels good it can't be wrong
Use your imagination, be all you can
The future is in your hands
No boundaries, no fear, no thanks
Entertainment, commercials, and games
The people cast off restraint collecting their toys
For a lack of knowledge they are destroyed
Measuring details of their lives by the comprehensive standard
Unable to hear the truth, unwilling to obey the commandments
Discovering the possibilities, falling into debt
Not leaving home without it, they forget
Life is not what you make it
No matter how hard you try
Only one is good and that is God
No one else, nothing else satisfies
Much of this you already know
Truth be told...

THE KINGDOM
Imagine what it would be like
If we took God's word to heart
We would not wait another minute
To take hold of His promise and be a part
Of the healing and restoration
Forgiveness and reconciliation...
We would stop waiting for the other person
To move, make a call, or write a letter
We would humble ourselves and acknowledge
Where we have fallen short and could have done better
We might would consider cutting them a little slack
Understanding that as we give so it will be given back
Instead of allowing outward appearance to be the measuring line
Dig a little deeper to find the real treasure inside
And cherish what is expressed from within
A heart and life that is made in the image of Him
Who created all for His glory
And eternal pleasure

DOUBTLESS
Throw down lay low in quiet watch
The battle continues on around the clock
Walk watch wait for the silent cold clearing
Your own heartbeat and breath is all you are hearing
Get up now, pick up your weapons, make a move
Tomorrow will be here soon...
No time to compromise
No excuse to withhold
Keep moving forward
Be humble, Be bold.
Bend your knees pick up your feet
March on to meet the promise
Let it go, there is hope
So let the light shine on it...
No time to waste
No excuse to delay
Keep moving forward
Be humble, be bold.
