As you light the menorah
And say grace
Remember His light
Shines on your face
Reflect this light
Everyday
In big and little ways
No need to fear
The darkest days
Just like the stars
Come out at night
You’ll shine so bright,
Little Light

inspired by Festival of Lights
Many have traveled this twisting road
Up the mountainside
Some looked back
Far too soon
Lost the dream
Lost the view
Some persevered
Though the woods grew thick
They learned this lesson
And promise it’s true
Another turn
Or maybe two
And you’ll see
Hope
In front of you

Let go of the past
Cherish the moment
Live for Him today
And today will become tomorrow
And tomorrow will become history
And your story will be written
And the ending is only the beginning
Of His glory reflecting
On the shards of a shattered, human heart
That glistens as gold in eternal light
Quiet my soul
Rest a while
In His presence
Not a care
Just Him
Just the darkening sky
And the cicada’s song
The occasional breeze
And a firefly’s flicker
Just the peace
Of knowing that He’s here
In this small corner of the earth
Alone with me
And yet also everywhere else
At the same time
Just the comfort
Of having no words
Because sometimes words can’t speak
♫ What a Friend We Have in Jesus ♫
In 10 years it’ll make sense
What I should’ve seen
Should’ve done
Should’ve known
That You were working
Through everything
For Your glory
In 10 years Your love will be sweeter
Your grace even deeper
As it’s carried me
Sanctified me
Changed me
In 10 years I’ll have more “thank Yous”
More reasons to trust You
More tears, more laughs
More hard lessons learned
More blessed-assurance
I’ll be closer to eternity
Closer to You
But if 10 years doesn’t come
And all I have is today
Did I live it right?
Am I ready
To step over the Jordan
To the New Jerusalem?
Am I ready to die
Am I ready to live
Today
If You created the infinite sky
Know each star by name
Measured the oceans
In the palm of Your hand
If mountains can be moved
And cast in the sea
By faith as small
As a mustard seed
If You are as big
As we can’t even dream
Then why in the world
Do I worry?

Faith’s a journey
Don’t be afraid to fly
Cross that ocean
No matter how wide
There’s a Promise Land
On the other side
Just waiting for you to find
Faith is like breathing
The fresh open air
It’s reality
It’s life
Hope is like spring
It never fails to come
And remind us that
Winter doesn’t last forever
Summer is just around the corner
So keep on breathing
Faith will lead you
And never forget to stop
And smell the spring flowers
That blossom for a moment
But His words last forever
And His love will carry us
Through the dark days
Bringing us joy
Like sun in the rain
The beauty of
Rainy days
Is not in dreary
Shades of grey
It’s in the sunshine
That we make
As we smile
Clouds
Fade away
And cheerful hearts
Dispell the rain
Smile in the storm today.
