Praise
Comes alive
Deep inside of me
Pulling me
Deeper
Into a realization
Of who You are
The Artist of creation
The melody of life
My rhythm & rhyme
Is empty
Without You
My greatest dreams
Are all loss
Without You
My deepest longings
Are found
In You
No words
Can explain
Who You are to me
No way to show my love
Without
Complete
Surrender
Walking beside You
Living by Your Word
Led by Your Spirit
But I’m so frail
And human
Desperately
Needing You
More
Every hour
Every day
Come be my light
And saving grace
I want
To bring You
Praise

The Prayer I Need
My prayers aren’t powerful
But my God is
My prayers are just words
But His Spirit is alive
Moving
In my life
Reigning far above
Yet closer than the air I breathe
Emmanuel,
You are the prayer I need
Open Hands
Give me open hands
To receive Your will
To share your goodness
To accept life’s challenges
And its joys
Not gripping tightly
My strength’s too weak
But letting go
Letting faith bring peace
Open hands
Lifted up in worship
Open hands
Reaching out in service
Open hands
Empty or full
Content in all You are
Pray…
When the world brings us down
To our knees
When our hearts are broken
There’s so much need
When we’ve lost our words
Hurt untold
It’s here that we learn to pray
It’s here that we learn to let go
It’s here that we find freedom
When the world brings us down
To our knees
Heaven and earth meet
Paradox of Faith
I am dependent
Yet confident
Incomplete
Yet filled with grace
Unworthy
Yet loved
Living
Yet dying
For Him

“I have learned that I cannot change the world. Jesus will do that. I can, however, change the world for one person. So I keep loving one person at a time. Because this is my call as a follower of Jesus.”
Katie Davis
“To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.”
St. Augistine of Hippo
Here’s another extra, because it’s sweet:
“I am thankful for nights that turned to mornings, friends that turned into family, and dreams that turned into reality.”

Faded Papers
Words typed
Over 50 years ago
On faded papers
Worn by time
Carry me back to
Before I was alive
Show me the heritage
That came before me
The legacy of faith & devotion
The prayers my great-grandma prayed
The testimony that she gave
My heart is touched
By the way she crafts each sentence
Did she ever know
That her great-granddaughter
Would hear these words?
Did she ever dream
That they would touch my heart so?
This family treasure
Stowed away for years
Comes to life again
In my heart
Reminding me that the past
Is a part of the present
And the future is yet to be written
In the Morning
Silent
Gentle
Moments of peace
Dawn in the morning
After I sleep
In the stillness
Yeshua’s voice can speak
Waking my heart
To the truth I seek
Moses
Only the view from the mountain
The Jordan River between
The valley that stretched before him
Was the land of his dreams
Did his fatal sin sting him
And anger fill him with rage?
Or did he rest on top of Pisgah
At peace and unafraid
Knowing death was not his fate
Soon he would stand at Zion’s Gate
And walk in the golden sand
Of the eternal, heavenly Promise Land
