Whispers
Whispers in the night as
Grace pours down like water
Sweet love as the spring rain
Tag: Trust
I Marvel At You, Marvelous You
Taken breathless for a moment
Held in, strong arms
I am captivated by you
I am in awe of your love
Here, in the quiet place
Where you speak to me again
From your word, in each breath
Of my own, shaking heart
Where you have made your home
I marvel at the thought of it
Imagine
Imagine where those feet have walked
Imagine where those bones have stood
Imagine who those arms have held
Imagine who those hands have held
Imagine for a moment
All of humanity, stretched out
Like a canvas, or a novel
Like a page in a book to be read
Imagine who has read that page
The Good Captain
We have our orders
So steady on,
Steady on
Further, into the depths
Hope for the Dawn
Hope for the dawn, comes
Blazing through the night
From fires high, and far away
Whose light is closer than a breath
Always constant, never failing
His love is like the starlight
His mercies, renewed every morning and
New as the dawn
Whose faithfulness, is without equal
Through night or any storm
Whose loving kindness, never changes
Whose mercy has no end
So I will hang on, until the dawn
Trusting in Your name alone
For You alone, can bring me through
My Refuge, my strong Tower
My God I’ll cling to You
Even till the dawn
Be with me, Lord keep me
Keep me here with You
Keep me, till the dawn
My God, on You I wait
Victory
Above every distraction, above every lie
A battle cry rings out
Singing of the victory
Of the risen, reigning Lord
Who already fought the battle and
Who already won it
So we on earth, need not strive
To win, thing we could never attain
But that we might simply rest,
In Him and, who He is
And praise, His victory
Praise the One, the risen Son
Who died, and rose again
Who stands
Faithful, forevermore and
Reigns on High, above it all
Victorious and true, forevermore
Matchless in all He does
In mercy and
In justice alike
May we praise His name, forevermore
In songs and testimonies of
Lives lived, for His name
Of days, and breaths taken, for His glory
To Him, who is most worthy
To Him, who is so good
To Him who is unending,
Matchless, in all His love
Merciful, and true forevermore
May we trust His name alone!
A Steady Ship
A steady ship
Is not one, driven by
Chaos of the storms or
Wills of captain driving her
A steady ship is not the one
Laid upon the shore
Destitute of purpose, or desire to
Soar upon the waves
A steady ship, is one anchored
One founded, deep in love
With confidence, in the One who made her and
In the One, who calls her home
From across the waters He calls
From across the sky He teases
And ushers to come deeper, further
Deeper into love
For life is a storm
Chaos, is the heart
Without peace, without Guide
But love, but peace is One
One who walks upon those waves and
Bid them to be still
So no matter what may come
Nor storms, nor crashing waves
Of heart or soul, of mind and thoughts
Or even of, daily life
I will trust, in that anchor
I will trust, in that One
The Ocean, of love
The Lord of a thousand seas
The One, fairest of all
More beautiful than skies and waters
Him who speaks, and wind does cease
Him who whispers, and all grow silent
Him who is, more than enough
He calls me His beloved one
He who tames, the seas and waves
It is He who calls me to rest
And trust, in His great name
For His glory, for His fame
For He is worthy, of it all
And He is, so good
So wonderful, forevermore
So vast in love, so wonderful
I praise Your name, forevermore
My God I sing to You
Stars
Memories of brighter days
Flicker in the night sky
Alight with wishes of the past and
Surrounded by the black of present
What beauty can there be in this
These relics of the past
So distant, so cold and yet
So surrounded by the infinite
Of eternal, distant black
A reminder, not of past but of
Future lays here in
For in that distant sky,
Burning bright with stars, we see
Hope, of tomorrow
Etched across the heavens as
He labors, above it all
Reigning, over everything
The King of Heaven, and of earth
Who knows each star by name
Therein, that sky has written in
A memorial, to His great Name
For distant stars, were formed by Him
Eternal darkness, where He walks
Each light, He knows by name and
Each figure formed by His hands
So when we look, up to the sky
Be not saddened by the past that once
Dwelled beneath these stars
Nor be troubled, for tomorrow or
Frightened for today by
Endless, mysterious black, or by
Those distant twinkles of light, that seem
To dim as days go on
Instead remember, the One who formed them and
Knows each one by name
And He who knows, that infinite blackness
And holds eternity in His hands
Take these memories, of past and
These reminders of the infinite
And see in them, the peculiar glory
Of Him, who bid them to shine and
Placed them there in, those Heavens vast
Exactly where He willed
For His purposes, for His plans, they shine
And He knows them all by name
Just as we, here on the earth
Are too made, and formed by His hands
For His plans, and purposes
May we submit, as they in Heavens do
To shine, for Him alone
And in our shining, in our obedience find
Peace, like no other as
We meet, face to face the One
Who knows each star by name
And too, knows us the same
May we revel, in His majesty
Now and forevermore
He who hung the stars, and too
Would come to us, and make a way
That He could
Know us the same
Through His Son, the eternal born of Heaven who
Died upon a tree
And rose again, in victory
To stars above(‘s) delight
To break, the bonds of hell and
Shatter powers of darkness
How marvelous is He
What a King, what a Savior
May we praise Him, forevermore
And remember Him, as we see
Those lights, hung in the Heavens
May we praise Him who holds them there
And too has redeemed us
That wonderful Savior, the everlasting God
May we praise His name forevermore!
My God we cling to You!
Seashells
Upon the shores, of endless ocean we
Find remnants, of those carried by
It’s longing tides across
Vasts of endless blue
And these ones, once living,
Now empty are
Monuments, to the One
Who created them
Not to that, which once lived in them
Not to the one who inhabited that shell, that by the seas waves now
Is removed from its casing and
Left without a home
These tiny shells, of those removed are
Monuments to, Creator who
Made them beautiful
That now that they, are rid of self they
Can reflect, all the better the
Beauty of, the Creator God and
Not fear, for glorifying flesh who once
Dwelled within its casing
For that shell, has been broken
It has been tossed about and
Carried by the Sea, and now remains
As testament, to the beauty of
Eternal God in Heaven Who
Made it, so beautiful
And even rid it, of itself
That it may better, reflect Him
The One who tames the waves and
Formed the oceans vast, in all their depths and
Each and every creature within
And gave them a purpose
Like those shells, upon the beach who
Though empty, now declare a
Peculiar glory, of the God
Who rid them, of themselves and
Freed them from fleshy impulses
And temptation, to glory self
That they now, may declare to passer-byers of
The mercy, and Love of this God
Who saw them, in their states of self and
Freed them, to be His
Made them, to be His own
To glorify, His name alone
Those shells on beach do sing
In simplicity, of brokenness and
Silent humility
They declare, with angels song
The glory, and the beauty of
This everlasting God
Who holds the seas, and tames them too
And even knows, each star by name
And looks at these shells the same,
The tiny, forgotten ones
Not forgotten, by the Maker
But broken, now whole by
His hand, and beauty to
Declare, His glory on the shores of earth
To those, just passing by
That they might see Him,
Through these vessels, rid of themselves
That they might know Him,
Who loves these little ones
These tiny vessels of His glory that
All the earth, may come to know
Him, who is most worthy and
Him who is most High
And glorify Him, the reigning King
Who is so good, and merciful
Even to the smallest ones
Broken, and rid of themselves
Now whole in His strength, and too
Now testaments, of His glory
Who sing, of His great Name
Simply, by being His
There, on earth’s shore
They praise Him forevermore
May we learn to do as they
For His glory, for His fame
May we allow ourselves be rid
Of ourselves, to better declare
His goodness, and His mercy to
Those, just passing by
On the shores, of eternity
That they may be with Him forevermore
In that Ocean of His grace
In those depths of His character,
In the waves of His justice
To be His, forevermore
Simply surrendered, as those shells
Rolled upon the waves
Simply His, and His alone
May we praise His name forevermore
Carry My Song
Carry My song with you
In darkest days, and sorrow filled hours too
May it be as a beacon, as a shining light
Of praise in the darkest places
A song to worship Me
A song of praise to glorify My name
Carry it with you, in the darkest, burn it brightly
A song of praise to My name
For in those hours, of greatest darkness is
A Hope, a present Help
The Lord is My name
And I will never leave you, no
I will not forsake You
Even in the darkest places
Still I go with you
So trust in Me, even in the shadows
Run to Me, in each and every day
Call on Me, and I will answer you
Oh praise My name, all the earth
Oh glorify My name children of Zion
Oh praise Me across the earth
Declare My wonders and My goodness
Declare My everlasting love
In song and deed, may you proclaim
Me, and My glory
On earth, forevermore
May you be, but a testimony
Of My great love and mercy
For I have loved you with
An everlasting love
And I have never failed you
So trust.
Trust in Me
The God who never fails
Bring My song, declare My praises
Across the earth, glorify My name
I the God, who never fails
I, the everlasting One
Praise Me, praise Me, I alone
I the God who is so good
I who am so good to you!
