Praise

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

Abide

No, there isn’t a word to say
I just want to rest in this place
To hear Your voice speak
Whispering joy and peace

No, there isn’t a clear plan I see
Uncertain still of what it may be
Only let me abide
Close to Your side
Accepting what each day will bring

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

“Little girls with dreams become women with vision”

“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.”
