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

 

Here in the Broken

It’s here in the broken
That faith is made
Hope can only rise
When you’ve hit the ground
So lift up your head
And look around
Because it’s here in the hurting
That healing is found

Not Forgotten

Let’s pause to remember
Let’s acknowledge what is true
For every life is precious
A gift from above
Let’s not forget
Let’s stand for honesty
For love
For freedom
For those who have no voice
For the unborn
For the slave
For the unknown and ignored
Let’s stand for hope
For justice
For grace
Let’s walk humbly
Bravely
Toward the God of our redemption
Toward the hope of tomorrow
Let’s not forget
Let’s change the future

Where There’s Love

Where there’s love
Fear flees
Pride dies
Hearts break
Scars heal
Truth speaks
Freedom soars
Trust grows
Hope springs
A soul sings
Life

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

Faith, Hope, & Love

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

When I Said Goodbye

When I said goodbye
It was not forever
It was only for a while
Only till 
My final breath
When victory conquers
The sting of death
Softly
I’ll join you
In that eternal home
A place where
Death
Will not be known
So though I cry
I will remember
When I say “hello”
It will last forever

Where You Belong

There’s an empty chair
At the table
There’s a door
That’s never locked
There’s a candle
Burning
In the window
There’s a prayer
Rising 
In the dark
There’s a story
He’s writing
A happy ending
There’s a home
Where 
You
Belong

Alive

How many prayers
Have been prayed for you?
And now you feel them
Breaking through
How many years
Have you lived in fear?
Hiding the hurt
Ignoring the tears
Your heart
Lost
In a deep
Dark cave
Depression keeping
You in your grave
Until you met
The Light of day
And He washed your anger
All away
Forgiveness called you
By your name
Now you stand
Forever
Changed
Who could ever be the same?
After knowing
This healing rain
Who could question
The power of grace?
When a heart
Has been cleansed
Of all its shame

Now you are alive.

Like a Miracle

May He speak the words
That none could say
And touch your heart
Like a miracle
Today

Wrapping you closer
Than anyone could
And healing your soul
Like you’ve dreamed
He would

May you find rest
In His embrace
Filled with joy
Righteousness & grace
May you dwell 
In His House
For all your days
