He
Is
Risen
Three words that marked history
Changed our destiny
Three words that sealed the victory
Over sin
Over death
Over sickness
Over pain
He
Is
Risen
Over my fears
Over my doubts
Over my past
Over my future
He
Is
Risen
Forever
Always
He
Is
Alive
Grace lined the avenue
Where our souls laid
Bleeding
Breaking
Desperate for a Savior
In the shadows of the night
The hope of dawn kissed the horizon
As it rose to remind us
That the waves that rose to crush us
Carried us
The hurt that cut to wound us
Healed us
The war that raged against us
United us
Even the odds that were cast against us
Strengthened us
Because we knew
We were
We are
A miracle
Today is a promise to tomorrow
A dream
A commitment
An adventure to follow
With God as the compass
And love as the guide
You’ll climb every mountain
And cross rivers wide
No journey is easy
But no words can explain
The joy & the beauty
That sings in the rain
Sunshine will brighten
Hearts held by grace
And hope gives strength
Day by day
It’s a heritage you’re forming
A home established forever
Built by the One
Who brought you
Together
–For Silas & Abigail LaGoy. Yahweh bless you more than you can dream!
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
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
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
~In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel
Your love cuts like a river
Through the canyons of my life
Allowing me to see
How trials turn to beauty
With just a word from You
Your command roaring
Like a waterfall
Yet your voice
Gentle
Still and calm
Filling my heart with awe

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

Sunrise
Sunset
Restless sleep
Get up
Check your phone
Short prayer
Busy day
A quick hug
Distracted listening
Lack of vision
Days blur together
What is tomorrow?
It is today
Where are we going?
Stop.
Run to a quiet place
Sit
Rest
Let Him come
In His time
Changing your heart
Thunder rolls
Music plays
Your heart sings along
Dancing in the rain
Joy through the pain
Faith, hope, and love remain
