The song of your soul
Escapes through your fingers
With each note you play
And each word He writes
The cry of your heart
Shows through your desire
Reaching this generation
Through His gift of song
So play the melody of salvation
Pray the chorus of repentance
Let this dim world see the glow
That God’s love brings to you
Show the world they’re not forgotten
Keep on reaching for the prize
Sing to them a song of freedom
The gift is theirs to realize
You’re the melody in God’s head
His beautiful one
You’re the chorus in His heart
Of you, He can’t get enough
So play on
The song that all should hear
Give them the melody
Let God do the rest

The Veil
I thought it couldn’t happen
To someone like you
Someone with a firm foundation
And who knew the truth
It broke my heart to realize
You have been deceived
Talking like the blind man did
Before Jesus set him free
Life got hard to understand
When you let go of His hand
All control you once possessed
Is twisted now and you have less
Hold on
Please don’t lose hope
Stay strong
We’ll help you cope
All around your feet
Broken strongholds will lay
You’ll no longer blame the Potter
For how He made the clay
Prayer is stronger than deception
In Him lies true perfection
There is no condemnation
Just follow God’s direction
Can’t you see what is before you?
You’ve been blinded by deceit
Father, lift the veil from her eyes
Let her know she’s really free.
Looking at the words you wrote
Knowing that I can’t get closer
But I can tell you that you’re covered
By His fingerprints of love
To someone like you
Someone with a firm foundation
And who knew the truth
It broke my heart to realize
You have been deceived
Talking like the blind man did
Before Jesus set him free
Life got hard to understand
When you let go of His hand
All control you once possessed
Is twisted now and you have less
Hold on
Please don’t lose hope
Stay strong
We’ll help you cope
All around your feet
Broken strongholds will lay
You’ll no longer blame the Potter
For how He made the clay
Prayer is stronger than deception
In Him lies true perfection
There is no condemnation
Just follow God’s direction
Can’t you see what is before you?
You’ve been blinded by deceit
Father, lift the veil from her eyes
Let her know she’s really free.
Looking at the words you wrote
Knowing that I can’t get closer
But I can tell you that you’re covered
By His fingerprints of love

Between Now And Forever
When I opened my eyes
And looked around
All I saw was darkness
And fear
A void with no end
And no beginning
Had me trapped
There was no escape
Now I come before Him
And pray that His release
Would fall upon my heart
Captivate my soul
It didn’t come so quick
As I would have liked
Waiting, suspended
Between now and forever
And though I prayed again
For my freedom
That He’d deliver me
The answer was still slow to come
What could I do
But stand here alone
Caught in the hopelessness
No chance of light
I got on my knees
Wasn’t giving up yet
“Lord, I need You
Please show Yourself
Tell me that I am
The one You desire
Let nothing else stand in
Our way”
I stood in the darkness yet again
But words echoed in my head
“I already love you
I just need your trust”
And looked around
All I saw was darkness
And fear
A void with no end
And no beginning
Had me trapped
There was no escape
Now I come before Him
And pray that His release
Would fall upon my heart
Captivate my soul
It didn’t come so quick
As I would have liked
Waiting, suspended
Between now and forever
And though I prayed again
For my freedom
That He’d deliver me
The answer was still slow to come
What could I do
But stand here alone
Caught in the hopelessness
No chance of light
I got on my knees
Wasn’t giving up yet
“Lord, I need You
Please show Yourself
Tell me that I am
The one You desire
Let nothing else stand in
Our way”
I stood in the darkness yet again
But words echoed in my head
“I already love you
I just need your trust”

Song For Jesus
Only a love song
No fancy words
Just happy You know me
Glad that I’m Yours
Thank You for choosing me
And hearing my cries
Thank You for suffering
And that You died
Jesus, thank You for believing in me
Even when I couldn’t see
Thank You for the price You paid
So that I could be free
My friendship with You is
Incomparable
Your love for me is
Undeniable
I know You’re much more than
A Friend from above
And I know when You look down
All You see is love
No fancy words
Just happy You know me
Glad that I’m Yours
Thank You for choosing me
And hearing my cries
Thank You for suffering
And that You died
Jesus, thank You for believing in me
Even when I couldn’t see
Thank You for the price You paid
So that I could be free
My friendship with You is
Incomparable
Your love for me is
Undeniable
I know You’re much more than
A Friend from above
And I know when You look down
All You see is love

The Child Inside
The child inside is what I see
When I look at you
Excitement hides behind your eyes
While searching for the truth
The fire lies untold inside
Your servant’s heart
Only God now can ignite
In you a holy spark
Intimacy is my prayer
That you may grow in Him
And know that this fire
Is only just a glimpse
The plan to prosper not destroy
Is bigger than words on a page
It’s more than that and it applies
To you at every stage
The closer you walk
The greater the blaze
To start a revolution
A sanctified chase
Worthy and lovable
You can stand tall
And know in your heart
That you’ll follow His call
Someday the innocence
Will be personified
Then we’ll all see
The child inside
When I look at you
Excitement hides behind your eyes
While searching for the truth
The fire lies untold inside
Your servant’s heart
Only God now can ignite
In you a holy spark
Intimacy is my prayer
That you may grow in Him
And know that this fire
Is only just a glimpse
The plan to prosper not destroy
Is bigger than words on a page
It’s more than that and it applies
To you at every stage
The closer you walk
The greater the blaze
To start a revolution
A sanctified chase
Worthy and lovable
You can stand tall
And know in your heart
That you’ll follow His call
Someday the innocence
Will be personified
Then we’ll all see
The child inside
