Home (9/26/2009)

I get up each morning and put on my mask
getting to my life of daily tasks
I wonder if things will ever change
If I will ever have things rightly arranged

I want to give everything to you
I pray, I read, I don't know what else to do
I feel so lonely in this world
I just want to be home with You

With You is where I long to be
Only with You is where I will truly be happy
I want to see You, I want to hear Your voice
I'm desperate for You
Desperate to be with You

I know You still have things for me to do
That is obviously why I'm still here
but I feel like a stranger in this place
These feelings get worse every year

I can't wait to be home with You
where I know I belong
Where I can love on You daily
And sing You my song

I want to be home with You
With You is where I long to be
Only with You is where I will truly be happy
I want to see You, I want to hear Your voice
I'm desperate for You
Desperate to be with You

You

You (2/24/2009)

I want You to be my everything,
to make this world not mean a thing,
to speak to You every day, and to clearly hear what You say.
To read Your Word and let it speak to me, so You can make me who I was meant to be.
To do Your will above all, and not worry about the Law..
To always remember the price You paid,
the sacrifice of Your life You made.
To always do what I do,
to point the people around me to You.

Thank You for willingly laying down Your life,
for taking the beatings, the mockings, the strife,
so that everyone could come to know You,
to spend eternity in heaven with You.
May You reveal Yourself to them all,
may they listen to Your call...
May they know that You are the only way,
and accept You into their hearts today.

Salvation, Love, Truth, and Peace in Jesus Alone!

The Terror Within

The Terror Within

9/8/2012

　

Must I close my eyes?

Must I sleep?

The darkness use to bring me sweet slumber,

But those are days of old.

Now all it brings is terror, heart pounding fear.

I close my eyes,

horrible visions blur my sight;

visions of death.

My heart pounds as I run for my life.

I scream in terror

as I see those I love hunted.

I awake shaking, wailing, breathing heavily.

Anxiety overtakes me.

The visions are far too real.

Waking brings relief no more.

Oh, that the light of day

would bring peace to my soul.

Desperately I cling to You.

How I long for Your peace.

Give me rest...

My heart cries out in pain.

Oh, how I need You Jesus

to set me free from the terror within.

Let The Past Go

Let The Past Go (8/5/2010)

Lord, this life that you've given me is being wasted away,
thinking about the past and not living for today.

Help me to let go of the things I can't change,
Help me let go of the tears and pain.

I don't want to waste the new chance you've given me,
completely looking back, thinking of the way things used to be.

Help me to let go, to look forward to today.
Help me let go and to see things Your way.

Direct my steps, lead the way.
Heal my heart, take the pain away.
Heal my mind, so I can be made whole.

Help me let the past go.
