Time
It flies
If we don’t pause
We’ll never find
The treasures hidden
In these hard and beautiful days
Joy and pain
Sun and rain
So often united
Time
Don’t take it for granted
It comes
But it goes away
When we look back what will we see?
Did we stop
To live, to change, to believe
Or did we run
Without a dream?
So live today
As the gift it is
From the God who created us to be
His hands and feet
Time
It changes
This world in need
As we give Him everything
This my life, is not my life
It’s His life in me
So, though I die
I only live
For eternity
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
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 end of you
Is just the beginning of Him
A new start
Not built on your own strength
Only held together by His grace
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
I need you more than words can say
You give me every breath I take
I just want to rest here in this place
Behold the beauty of Your face
God, I’m desperate for Your peace
Come dwell inside of me
I want to know Your power
Your love
Your grace
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
You’ve much to learn
Little man
But for today just stay
Wrapped tightly in your mommy’s hug
Or playing with your siblings in the sun
Down the trail and to the creek
Imagination dancing with your little feet
God’s got a plan
Little man
For whatever trail you meet
