I took a bit of time this weekend to work on doing a little writing. I got the start of a couple pieces yesterday and one today. One of the ones yesterday was a bit longer and the music is doing its best to be difficult, so I’ll refrain from imposing that on you for [...]

I was thinking today about some things I want. Not physical things, but dreams and desires; good passions that were placed at the core of my being by my Creator. However, it struck me that these desires – though not bad in and of themselves – were getting out of balance. They had begun to [...]

You are the One
Who makes my morning bright
You are the One
Who brings the day
You are the One
Who shares my eveningtime
You comfort me
And hold me through the night

I’ll wait for You
Your love is beautiful
I’ll wait for You
Who’s always kind
I’ll wait for You
Until the ocean’s dry
I’ll wait because
You’re everything I need

We’re made for this
New love [...]

I delight in You
And I’ll be firmly planted
Rivers of water will wash over me

I will dwell on You
On the laws that You’ve given
They will bring comfort and will shelter me

And I’ve learned
The things I’ve longed for
These foolish things
Can’t satisfy
They leave me looking
For my Lord
You’re all I need (2x)

I am a fool most days
I often seek another thing
Beside Your face
These songs are not enough
To change my life
I need You here with me
Inside
To change the place that matters most

Please come to meet me
Here and now
I can’t believe
I’ve waited all this time
To ask again

Please cover me
In grace and peace
In everything You know I [...]

Save me, oh God
For the water surrounds me
Save me, oh God
For I’ve no place to stand
Save me, oh God
For my eyes have failed me
Save me, oh God
For I can’t see the way

May those who hope in You
Never be disgraced
May those who seek for You
Always find Your face
Let those who trust in You
Bless Your holy [...]

Be the light to guide my life
Shape my will and rob my strife
Let Your mercy and Your love come down
Trade my ashes for a crown

I will praise You set me free
With this love You’ve captured me
You open up my inner soul
Bind my wounds and make me whole

Innocence is now my goal
I was the [...]

When I’m just overwhelmed
One more day
Much the same
Too much need in the world
And I’m losing my strength
And I’ve lost all control
And I’ve run out of hope and of love

Reach beyond
Reach again
Reach to love
I can never meet all of the needs
It’s ok
I call heaven again
And I find that there’s more than enough

You are more
You [...]

This life is all I have
Until I leave it here
and go back home
and go back home

I’ll search for gold
And treasures won’t escape my grasp
I’ll search for gold
Your treasure won’t escape my grasp
I’ll seek until I find
And knock until the door is open wide

This life is full of
Famine and of feasting times
‘Till we go [...]

If I die today
If I die today
I would not think my life a waste
I would not think my life a waste
Now I have lived
Now I have lived a day
Now I have lived
Fully alive

And if You let me live
Give me the breath and strength again
Tomorrow I’ll live
Tomorrow I’ll live
Fully alive

I will wait forever
if it takes that long
till you come home
I will wait forever
just to spend a day with you

These Hands that made the mountains
may be infinitely strong
How will this Heart of love
go on while you are gone?

Don’t keep Me waiting long
I’m standing here … can’t you see that …

I will wait forever
if [...]

Come back to me and show Your face
Don’t break this fragile heart I pray
‘Cause I can’t live without Your love
I could not make it one more day

You are my air, my food, my water
Don’t take away my source of life
You are my air, my food, my water
Come back to me and be my source [...]

If You have broken my chains
How could I choose to stay?
The love that You’ve given my heart
Is beyond anything
All that I’ve known falls away
The beauty of You and Your name
Puts the oceans and mountains to shame

So I lift my head
You are the joy that has given me strength
You put the stars into place
You made [...]

As the stars come out tonight
I wonder when I’ll find my home
With my father
With my Father
With my fathers

I’m anxious to be lost in peace
And to be found full of joy
I’m anxious to be lost in peace
And to be found full of joy

That love will take over my soul
Over my soul

The stars come [...]
