IN THAT DAY

Hopeful heart do not despair
Fear not for the future cast your cares
It was written before time
everlasting and saving words divine
Ministering hope and healing
for those who are dealing
With the prodigal and the promise
of that which is yet to come
Falling apart at the feet of the Holy One
Crying out and coming undone
Repentence and severity much sorrow brings
Done with earthly things
Courage is not afraid
But goes forward to meet the enemy face to face
In that day all will see the truth revealed
Another word spoken by the prophets is being fulfilled

KING OF GLORY

King of Glory be glorified in me
Be glorified in Your people
Be glorified in the nations
On every street, in every steeple

Let every knee bow
every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord
and they that seek You are blessed

Blessed that you are glorified
in the work of Your hands
Blessed to please You and to serve fellowman
having done all to stand, they stand

Firm on the promises unfailing
Deeply rooted and grounded in love
Delighting themselves in You
Setting their mind on things above

Be glorified King of Glory
Exalted and lifted high
Let the fruit of our lips proclaim
You alone satisfy---

CAST UPON YOU

Deeply daily I am waiting for
Direction to move these feet
Longing searching needing
To be cast upon You

Awake listening breathing
Responding to the light
Where in every place my thoughts
Are cast upon You

Expression Calling knowing
There is more than what I see
Feeling what is crying out in me
I must be cast upon You

Growing up Letting go Surrender
The pain of weakness and being known
Living giving word is covenant
I am completely cast upon You.

STRONGER THAN DEATH

Do not worry Daughter
Sit back and rest in my arms
Listen to the voice of your Father
I know right where you are
The words that I have spoken
surely I will prove
Remember My love is stronger than death
I am holding you

Every one of your tears I have saved
I am with you, I am for you
Beside you, behind you, before you
I am within you always
Healing what needs to be healed
feeling what you feel
Do not forget ---
My love is stronger than death

In your weakness My strength is made perfect
My grace is sufficient even now
Though you sorrow and grieve for a moment
Your expectation is of Me, you will see, and I will not let you down
As you hope against hope
My word cannot fail
You long to see the promise of My love
in you My power prevail

Keep holding tight to Me
My words will carry you once more
I am all you ever needed
Set your gaze upon Me
Do not give way to fear
I am the way, the truth, and the life
I am right here
Let Me hold you closer still, My Love
My love is stronger than death.

YOUR THOUGHTS FOR MINE

Stand still for a moment
Stop what you are doing
Put everything thing down
Let your burdens fall to the ground

Exchange your thoughts for Mine
Let Me hide you for a while
Laugh and sing and share
It gives Me joy to see you smile

Look around and hear the sounds
As all creation sings its praise
Smell the fragrance of falling rain
Wild roses in bloom, budding just for you

Let Me show you trails of hidden treasures
The peace and joy of My good pleasure
Take a walk with me in the trees
Let me tell you what I see

Run with me by the riverside
Exchange your thoughts for mine
Slow down, step in
Let Me wash you from within

And be to you a shelter from the storms
Your strength to climb the mountains high
Your way of escape, your wings in flight
Rescuing arms of rest to hold you through the night

Exchange your thoughts for Mine
Let Me take you away
Put My hand on your head
and lead you as you pray.

I BELONG TO YOU

Spirit dressed in flesh
Command and light comes forth
You Breathe, You speak, You touch
New life is born

How faithful Your promises prove Lord
From the time that I wake and my feet touch the ground
You bless the works of my hands
And continually overcome every doubt

Thank you God for this skin to feel things in
Time spent in the presence of true friends
Sunshine on my face, thankfulness, and the taste of good fruit
A call received unexpectedly and reports of good news

Thank You for the gentle breezes and times by the fire
Hugs and kisses of children
Sleeping and waking up outside
Conversations and inspirations that come late at night

Sitting in the dirt, watching the sun go down
Midnight running in the rain
Flying over distant places and mountain heights
For being my ever present help and abundant life

In season and out, through every moment of change
Thank You for leading me God and making it very plain
That You know me, love me, and long to show me
I belong to You…

FIREWEED

Life in times and seasons
Nothing is ever what it seems
Proof of heavens hands
Glory of God on display in hungry needs
For Precious Beauty Wild
Fire of shining smiles
Love dancing in a field
Naked truth untouched freedom yields
The fragrance of Love's patient response
Calling forth those things which are not
Blowing in on the winds of change
Fearing for nothing embracing pain
Washed by the water of eternal life
Healing the heavy heart by
Making the riches of His glory known
Wild Beauty of a heart - ever longing for home.
