The Healing Comes

The healing comes
It comes with time
Faith will carry you
When you cannot climb
It’ll grow stronger
When you are weak
Bringing joy that runs deep
Greater than what you see
This hope takes hold
And sets you free

 

Cross That Ocean

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

Sing

Your voice is a bright open sky
Don’t be afraid to fly
Let praises pierce
The hardest night
And darkness will turn
To morning light
Sing
Let your soul take flight
There’s nothing to fear
With Him in sight
Sing
It’s your sacrifice
A song of praise
Through all your life

Goodbye, Winter

Warmer days
Call me outside
I grab my guitar
And sing in the light
As birds whistle & freely fly
Spring bids winter
A sweet goodbye

Faith Takes Flight

When fear 
Hits the ground
Faith takes flight
And daylight 
Conquers
The dark of night

Soon I Will Fly

Soon I will fly
Over the Atlantic
Crowded in an airplane
Sleepy
Restless
Excited
Soon I will see
Those ancient walls
Soon I will sing
In Zion’s streets
Soon
I’ll fly away

Flying

The sun is setting
In shades of pink
At the end
Of the sea of clouds
It reflects on the silver
Airplane wing
High above the ground

World Traveler

I have friends around the world
And when I think of them
Sights and scenes
So far away
Are close to me again

So travel dear friends
And I’ll fly with you
In my heart
You’ve made me
A world traveler too

Ideas

Ideas
They come from beyond me
And overtake me

They dance in my head
And twirl in my heart
And make me do cartwheels in the yard

They make me skip
And jump
And run away
To find the nearest pen and paper
And start to scribble

Ideas
Bursting in my head
Like fireworks
Growing in my heart
From a tiny seed
Into something bigger
Bigger than I’d dreamed

Ideas
They live inside me
But when I give them wings
They fly away
They change
They become a different melody
In someone else’s heart

Ideas 
They long for freedom
So give them wings
Let them soar through the sky
And find a new home

Let them brave the darkness
Like the stars
Let them bring beauty
Like the spring

Ideas
Let them live
Let them sing

Swing Me Higher

There’s a pink toddler swing
Hanging from the twisting oak
Perfect for a two-year-old

Push me higher 
Push me higher
She sings
I want to touch the leaves
Swing me higher 
Swing me higher
She grasps the bright green leaf

Someday she will have bigger dreams
Of bigger things than leaves
She will fly to them too
And hold them close
She’ll see her dreams come true

She will always swing
With a gentle smile and twinkling eyes
Her young heart soaring through the bright blue sky
