Desire

I need to want You
But I don’t know
How to climb up to You
Just to fall before You
And break apart.
Chance beckons
Through impossibility,
Calling me to come
Telling me to fall,
To shed everything
Holding me back.
The only hindrance that remains
Is my fear of failure
And lingering regret.
Take me up, O Lord
Break me down, my Savior
Hold me close forever.
God, I just need to want You
Please, Jesus, light that fire!

Obedience

No choice to make
I know what’s true
I just can’t seem
To struggle through
All this pain
And endless doubt
Trying to shake
Satan out
Just livin’ like
A sinner
Only prayer can
Make me better
Strengthen my
Desire
Come and
Light my fire

Faith Undone

When darkness hangs over
The life we think we know
Sometimes, it seems inadequate
To take us through.
Keep us safe, give us peace,
Unleash the grace that holds us captive.
Come and show us, take us in,
Hold us to You.

To Be Free

Walking through each day alone
I feel the weight of chains
Upon me.
People won’t look deeper than
The surface of my heart,
They don’t see
What I carry underneath -
The fractured heart, the pain -
This can’t be…
I see it; I am breathless.
His hand reaches for me
And I fall.
Blood He shed upon the cross
Descends to my shackles
Through it all…
That’s everything, my friend
Let’s embrace truth again
To be free!
