More Than A Friend

Life calls for more
Hearts long for You
We need more than a friend
To lead us today
Though the world says
What we have is enough
I know we need more
To make it in life
Jesus, we need You,
More than a friend,
But a Sure Hand to guide us
In ways we can’t see

Promise

Please, promise me
That if your eyes should fall
Upon the King of my heart
You’ll let Him know
That I am weak
With passion for Him.
My flesh is impure
But my heart desires Him.
Please, tell my Lover,
The King of my heart
I’m so full of longing
That I can barely stand.
I belong to Him.
He sees my sin and loves me still.
All I ever needed I saw before my eyes.
I’ll keep searching ‘til I find
The One who loves me for
Eternity.
The hunger inside me
Is deeper than I can explain.
Passion flows through me
And I hit my knees.
Please…
Please promise me.

Back To My Heart

Come back to my heart
Sweet King, Jesus!
I called out Your name
And You came forth.
Come back to My heart
O child of Mine
I’m reaching for you
You’re running from Me.
Be not afraid
Of what You may find
When You come
Back to my heart.
Look deeper than surface
And back to my heart,
My joys and sorrows
Are written there.
Gaze out as far as you can
Across the earth and to its edge
Now look farther — that’s the love
I have for you, back to My heart.
Come back to My heart
You who have strayed
So I will truly see
All I have yearned for.

His Cry

All those I look upon
Are those I call My own
I’ll return their hearts of flesh
Cast out the one of stone
As saints they walk the path daily
As sinners they stumble and fall
Those who seek love in Me will find it
Though they may stumble or have to crawl
Come to Me, all you who are hopeless
You belong with Me
Alongside those who are standing
You too deserve to be free
Take your eyes off the world
Turn them to My grace
See for yourself how much I love you
I’ll take you from this place
Please don’t think you’re unworthy
I love you and made you pure
Your heart is what I long for now
It’s your hunger I adore
My child, please trust in Me
I want the best for you
My plans for your life are huge
More than you ever thought you knew
And though you may not believe
The plan I laid for you is best
You will remain in My care
And be forever blessed

This Life

This life hurts more than anything
I can’t express how it feels
To know that now I could be different
Just like everyone else.

Nothing’s different and I’m still weak
I couldn’t believe, now I’m falling again.
Everyone stared and expected something
But they didn’t see what they wanted.

I couldn’t believe so I’m stuck in this life
God could heal me, but I was too scared.
I doubted too much and nothing changed,
Every time I take a step I’m filled with Sadness.

I’m not blaming God, please understand
He did His part; the rest was mine.
I didn’t want to fall, but now here I am
Ground’s coming up faster than ever before.

It rips me apart to live in this life
With nothing to hope for on earth.
All I can pray for is peace and mercy
So maybe I’ll still get my wings.

I’m not giving up I’ve just fallen down
Not blaming God, cause I know it’s not Him
Still clinging to this life even though it hurts
‘Cause what else is there if you don’t have God?

Fighting to climb it and to stay strong
Tears flow in secret where nobody sees,
I know I can make it through somehow
I’ll find His hand again in this life.

Run To Me

Run to Me
When your heart is breaking
And you’re bleeding;
Faith is shaken.
Run to Me
When your soul is weeping;
Eyes downcast
And hope is slipping.
My child, run to Me
When darkness is all you can see
Even when I seem far away
And you’re living on your knees.
I love you every minute
You hurt now but the reward is sweet,
Even when you think I can’t
My love for you is deep.
Run to Me
Sweet child of Mine
And all good gifts here
Will be thine.

Crisis Of Belief

There was a time and place
One recognized his faith
And the other turned away -
His answers written in the clay
Today is here and now
His brother wonders how
The other just believed
In the grace he received
While his brother is descending
One soul is rejoicing;
Dancing with the angels
In eternal life above
But what remains on earth
Is an angel with one wing
Crushed heart and broken spirit
No one left to love
Will they come together
So both will live forever?
Only time will tell the story
That both may see the glory.
Pray for the one who’s left behind
With so much anguish on his mind
Let him see the promise
That is just above his head
A soul flies free of pain now
But he can’t tell his brother
He’s forgiven him for all
The things he left unsaid
God, have mercy on him
The one-winged angel left in sin
When his brother fell to grace
Because You looked upon his face.

Sitting On God's Shoulders

High up
Above all
Looking down
I will not fall
Back down below
To the world
That crushed and broke
This little girl.
I can stay up here forever
Never have to cry again
Because of pain or circumstance
Thinking of what could have been
Today I’m free and I can run
But now I am content
To sit upon these shoulders
And think of how my days are spent
I can turn His face to mine
When I want to see His smile
And if I miss those left behind
He’ll hold me for awhile
I will be His little one
Always on my knees
His words ring in my head today,
“Just look at all of these.”
