never enough

How awesome are You,
How lofty are Your ways.

Like catching the wind,
Like counting the stars,
Like colours to the blind,
Like music to the deaf,
You are ever beyond our comprehension.

We will never have enough of You,
But we will try anyway,
Because that's the idea.

some scars

I mourned a relationship lost.
My life no longer welcome,
Its presence marked with shame.
Would it ever be the same again?

A chasm formed, the bridges burned,
The eyes hurt, the smiles shallow,
The songs painful, the words awkward.
Would we ever be the same?

Wounds subside,
Anger dissipates,
Memories numb with time.
Still, some scars never fade.

fill

My heart fails within me ....
Fill.

My strength turns to dust ....
Fill.

My eyes weep no end ....
Fill.

My mind screams ....
Fill.

My words ring empty ....
Fill.

O, I hear the darkness call ....
Fill.

Please.

Spirit, breathe in me again ....
Fill.

You birth life from death ....
Fill.

You bring beauty from ashes ....
Fill.

You make art from brokenness ....
Fill.

You redeem me from the pit ....
Fill.

You are my only hope ....
Fill.

O God, do not delay ....
Fill.

in Him

I will run ...

I will run to the Lord.

I will hide ...

I will hide in the Lord.

I will rest ...

I will rest with the Lord.

In Him I find peace,

In Him I find comfort,

In Him all anger melts away,

In Him all bitterness dissolves.

In Him I find refuge,

In Him I find security,

In Him all sadness turns to joy,

In Him all heaviness turns to dancing.

He alone is my strength,

He alone is my confidence,

Unchanging ...

Unfailing ...

The same, yesterday, today ...

And forevermore ....

My eyes brim with tears,

When I remember the times the Lord rescued me.

Oh, that my heart would never forget,

That my mouth would never cease to sing,

Of His gracious tender mercies,

Of His great amazing love,

Of His everlasting faithfulness.

truth-way-life

You, O Lord, are the truth,

You, O Lord, are the way,

You, O Lord, are the life.

To whom shall I go?

To whom shall I turn?

All have retreated,

All have gone away.

Where else can I go?

Where else can I turn?

Hope in the Lord, O my soul,

I say again, hope in the Lord.

Let my eyes look toward heaven,

Let my heart not be shaken,

Let my feet not walk astray.

Trust in the Lord, O my soul,

I say again, trust in the Lord.

He who presents the truth,

He who shows the way,

He who gives one life.

You, my Lord, are my truth,

You, my Lord, are my way,

You, my Lord, are my life.

Therefore I shall hope in the Lord,

Therefore I shall trust in the Lord.

in the breaking

This is not the way it was to be,
Not the way it was to end.
A blow to the face,
A slap from the hand of a friend.

Was it for this I gave myself?
Was this the return I sought?
A curse from behind,
My foes laugh, they gloat from afar.

Where are you, O Lord?
Why do harsh words prevail?
Who will plead my case, defend my honour?

Vindicate me, O Lord.
O Hand of History, reveal my heart,
Even if none else see.
Vindicate me, O Lord.

I wait for You here,
In the breaking.
