SLIVER

Lady let your hair down
Put on your gown
Walk barefoot
Down by the water

Look at the stars
Observe where you are
Be held by the strength
Of your heavenly Father

The One who loves you
Is thinking of you
And knows your thoughts
He is not so far away

When you are home
And feel alone
He waits for your surrender
To lift the burdens of your day

In the waiting
He reveals more of Himself
A sliver of the divine
Healing and help

To all that had been scattered
Broken and bruised
Covering you with hope
His hand, His truth...

Casting down condemnation
Regret of past failings
Misguided decisions
Every mistake and admitted wrong

Is now covered in the blood
Of the Only perfect one
Do not be afraid to be weak
He is strong enough.

REALLY

Constant motion
Exhaustion, busyness
Forgetting sometimes
Who I am really

So much to process
Alot to pass on
Plenty to learn
Praying really

Wars are raging
Inside and out
Daily laying things down
Really asking for help

Because I cannot and do not
Want to do things my own way
I will fall into grace
And really listen this time

Casting all worries and cares
Completely upon Him who cares for me
I will put on humility like a blanket
Resting freely in this hammock

Of faith and be refreshed
Ready myself for the challenges ahead
To be free of this temporary tent
For You O God are my guide even unto death.

SOON TO COME

Complete in Him
Compelled by Love
Waiting for the change
That is soon to come

Praying for wisdom
Thankful for rain
Receiving discernment
As I abide and remain

Clinging to the truth
Holding tight to the promise
Expecting His presence
Depending on it...

Surely goodness and mercy
Will follow me and I will
Give thanks to the Lord
for He is ever mindful of me

His love endures forever
So I will wait in hope
That the day is not far
And He is soon to come

AMONG THE LIVING

Riding dirt paths
Turning on the rocks of plenty
Potholes and pitfalls
Seem to await us all
Who dare to take the journey

Don't give up or get discouraged
Challenges bring the change
Take it as it comes
You will be glad you
Did not limit yourself...

Breathe in, drink some water
Feel the cold wind
Take the trail and ride
Do not be afraid of the unknown
Discover, explore, and thrive.

Freely giving and receieving
Thanking God for being
In good and bad times
For the opportunities to do
and say and think and be among the living.

LOOK UP

Tromping through the mud
One foot in front of the other
Snow falling, wind blowing
Look up
You are on a journey
Spending a season of life with others
What are you hearing, what are you saying?
Look up
Climbing rocks, hanging on a line
Many are watching to see
Your reaction, your response this time
Look up
And this is me falling, crawling, walking
Running as fast as I can
Waiting to meet with you
Looking up

GOD'S WILL

AWAKE TO JUSTICE, AWAKE TO NEW LIFE
ALL THAT BELONGS TO YOU IS AWAITING
HOLD ON, SIT UP, STAND OUT
YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
COME TO YOUR SENSES, BE QUICKENED AT ONCE
YOU ARE HEALED COMPLETELY MAN OF GOD

AWAKE TO JUSTICE, AWAKE TO NEW LIFE
BOW DOWN IN REVERENCE AND WORSHIP
FEAR NOT, COME TO, BE STILL
SING YOUR SONGS OF PRAISES ALOUD
HOLD FAST, STAY YOUR GROUND
YOUR WARFARE HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCOMPLISHED

INIQUITY MUST STOP ITS MOUTH
DEATH MUST LOOSE ITS HOLD
DARKNESS IS UNDER YOUR FEET
THE LIAR IS BOUND
GET UP WILL, WAKE UP KINGMAN,
ABUNDANT LIFE BELONGS TO YOU

WITH THE FULLNESS OF JOY SING
STIR YOURSELF UP FOR THE KING
ALL OF YOU HE HAS ALWAYS DESIRED
YOUR PASSION, YOUR FOCUS, YOUR FIRE
BE STRENGTHENED AND RENEWED
FOR WHAT HE HAS PROMISED, SURELY HE WILL DO.

SINGLE HEARTED

CROSS MY ARMS AND REST MY HEAD
SMELLING THE FRANGRANCE OF FIRE
WALKING ON IN THE FACE OF DREAD
STAYING ON THE PATH OF DESIRE
WATCHING THE BURNING, FEELING THE HEAT
BEING SINGLE HEARTED AND YET COMPLETE

BIGGER THAN INDIANA JONES
MORE REAL THAN YOU KNOW
DEEP DEEP DESIRE INSIDE
TO RUN, BE THE FORCE, THE DRIVE
GOING ON TO DISCOVER, SEARCH AND RESCUE
TO PROVIDE A FIRE AND BE A REFUGE

PASSING THROUGH THE WIND AND STORMS
RESTING IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS
INVESTIGATING, CONCENTRATING, CROSS EXAMINING
BEING A WITNESS, DEFENDING THE DEFENSELESS...
