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.

FOG IN THE VALLEY

Something about park benches and rocking chairs
Taking long walks in cool clean mountain air
Watching blue clear skies as the sun melts fog in the valley
Coming to the plain simple truth of life's always changing melody
Admitting there's so much more to learn as I travel down this road
Being still while you feel reality burn the weight of the load
Adding another unexpected piece to the puzzle
Ever aching within from the constant struggle
Of nothing more than this day to day life
Exceedingly thankful for right now, and yet still grieving at the same time.

BURN IN ME

Holy Passion of God
Deepen what is there
Have me, Hold me
Keep me in prayer
Take all that is yours
Burn in me holy truth
From thoughts to action
Demonstrate, consecrate, and prove
I am yours forever
All for your glory I live and move...

And let go of every earthly thing
Come awesome power and bring
The Kingdom, Your glory
Redeeming love be exalted
To the highest place
For all that you bestow grace upon grace
Burn in me faithful desire
Divine purpose, Holy love
Be the center, the first, the last
You are forever and only more than enough.

I WILL REMEMBER

I remember you laughing to tears
I remember your squeeze tight hugs
I will remember you Mother
For always and ever your love...

You have touched my soul like nothing else
Your words, your prayers have carried me
All your sacrifice and pain and suffering
Continues to challenge, encourage, and comfort me.

ABIDE IN HIM

Time has come and gone
Yesterday is a memory
Of trials, triumphs, and struggles
Wrestling with reality
What has been
Will never be again
Zero five zero six eleven
My mom has gone to heaven
Her deep love lives on
In the hearts of her children
