Fine

No one ever sees
The pain inside of me.
I cover my feelings,
Even when I'm reeling
From all this life brings.
But deep within my core,
I can never ignore
These nagging thoughts
That plague.
I must always be strong,
No room have I to long
Or break down in tears.
From others I hide
What lies inside,
And in secret I weep.
For in reality, I am not "just fine;"
My heart is brekaing
A moment at a time.

Rearranged

I lay my heart down,
At your feet I fall;
In your love I will drown,
When I hear your voice call.
Your throne room is holy,
It is the most intimate place;
I will be near to you only,
Let me gaze upon your face.
When I am this close to you
I cannot help but be changed,
You always speak what is true,
My walls you have rearranged.
So I will give you my everything,
All that I have is yours;
My spirit and soul I bring,
In return my life you'll restore.

Handprint

The wonder of your creation,
Displaying your imagination,
Calls out to the heart of me;
I love to dwell in your majesty.
It takes my breath away
Watching nature dance & play;
Your handprint is everywhere,
The beauty nearly too hard to bear.
So I take it all in,
Let every detail penetrate my skin;
And wrap myself in the glory
Of this world created for me.

Ablaze

Not enough words have I
To tell of your matchless ways;
My Helper & Adonai,
I'll praise you all my days.
My spirit rises & dances before
The glorious throne
Of my Friend my Lord.
My heart cries out to you my Lover,
More is ever my desire;
The depths of me you uncover,
Set me ablaze with holy fire.
You are my Creator & King,
Yet you stepped off your throne;
Salvation & life you bring
So I will worship you alone.
And I will attempt to capture in words
How much love I have for you,
Until all I encounter have heard
That your love and grace are true.

Until

You know who I am,
You guide me every day;
I know you have a perfect plan
And will reveal it in your way.
Until that time comes,
I will try to be patient
And not run away from
My current location.
In these moments that I
Feel stuck or afraid,
All I can do is rely
On He who is never delayed.
My faith will hold strong,
My hope is ever firm
Even though the wait seems long,
And my heart continues to yearn.
Your heart is always for me,
You know my deepest desire;
In the meantime it is you I will seek
Not believing whispers of the liar.
I can only allow the Lover of my soul
To mold me during this time;
Complete the work and make me whole
So I am ready for the one who is mine.

Press

You say that now is my time,
To walk in your blessings,
And I declare that I am pressing
Into the promises you have made;
My hope in you will not fade.
So I will cry out for my deepest desire;
No more of me do you require
Than to embrace my power & authority
For I know the plans you have for me.
They arrive in your appointed season,
Often beyond my understanding or reason;
Yet never late or incomplete,
So I lay my motives down at your feet.
And when you call on me to act,
You remind me I never lack
The strength and ability
To claim the promises spoken over me.
