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

And Protect Me

At the front lines
A sword in my hand
Right in the midst
Of the enemy’s land.
Stepping forward
My eyes straight ahead
I know where God wants me
I heard what He said.
The weapon is poised
Don’t know what’s in store
But I’m ready to fight
In this spiritual war.
This is the moment.
I turn to be sure
My army’s behind me
Just as they were.
But what do I see?
I should have known.
I don’t have an army now
I am alone.
With ten thousand men
Showing dismay
I drop to my knees in the dirt
And pray:
“Do something . . .
Take out your sword and protect me
I’m living to see His smile
Throughout all of eternity.”
