Better Tomorrows

Halfway around
The world, there sits
A girl whose heart
Wants more than this
She dreams of feeling
The embrace of her King
Her soul aches
Just to hear Him sing
With eyes fixed
On what’s above
She lives for
Her one true Love
That flame of passion
Growing inside
We can’t help
But see her shine
The world she knows
Holds pain and sorrow
But she knows in her heart
There are better tomorrows
Once more in a place
With people she loves
Worshipping her King
In the heavens above
Burning hunger
Driving fire
She will receive
Her heart’s desire
No more shame
Or pain to live
Only freedom
And love to give

Heart Cry

Open my eyes to Your truth
Bring me back to Your side
I long for a passion
But fail every time I try
Reaching for the highest point
Realizing my heart’s not strong
Longing to go deeper
But needing to hold on
I can’t go anywhere without You
Can’t stay where I’ve been
I must let go of all I’ve known
To follow You again
Break the shell around me
That holds me captive now
Let me see Your true form
Someone, show me how!
Climbing up just to get broken
I want to fly again
With only You beside me
With You I’m diving in
Don’t leave me here alone
Please lift me off my face
Hold me in Your arms
And point me to Your grace
I choose life, to follow You
No matter what it takes
I will fall and get back up
Though my heart may ache
I’m following You
You’re calling out
You’re covering me
And I’m finally free

Holy Fire

Drop a match
Ignite my heart
All I want
Is Your love
Burning hunger
My desire
Without You
I’m falling
Over my head
Unable to swim
I want release
No more fear
Come to me!
I cry to You
Please draw near
Place Your fire in me
