When Love Breaks Your Heart
Says he'll be there forever
Says his love will never be severed
Says his heart will always be mine
Changes his mind
In a minute of heartache
And brings sudden death to my soul
My heart is broken
Bleeding, open
Torn, poured out
Laid bare
Such emotion
Holds so tightly
To your wounded heart
You try to sleep
But you can't breathe
The ache pierces through
The hurt so real
When love sheds no tears
But breaks your heart
She lives in a sewage line under town
Her parents have died or cannot be found
She fights from day to day just to live
But her heart has a home her soul found a place ]
Where she can rest and look in Jesus face
He brings rest for the weak and the weary
My heart is broken
Bleeding, open
Torn, poured out
Laid bare
Such emotion
Holds so tightly
To your wounded heart
You try to sleep
But you can't breathe
The ache pierces through
The hurt so real
When love sheds no tears
But breaks your heart

Always Be Your Dad
I wish I could have been there to protect you
When you appeared on the scene
I wish I could have been there when you were
Three, ten, thirteen, and sixteen
I wish I could have rocked you in my arms
When you were young
I wish I could have sang to you a lullaby
With the words all wrong
I couldn't be there from the start
But I can promise from my heart
I will be there in good times and sad
Wherever you are in the world
I'll always be your dad
I wish I could have kept you from the hurt
The fear, the shame
I wish I could have held your hand
And given you my name
I wish that things were different
That all your memories were sweet
I wish that you were always mine
And that your heart felt more complete
I couldn't be there from the start
But I can promise from my heart
I will be there in good times and sad
Wherever you are in the world
I'll always be your dad
I will be there for the rest of my life
I will be there when you become a wife
I will be there when you become a mother
I will be a good grandfather
I couldn't be there from the start
But I can promise from my heart
I will be there in good times and sad
Wherever you are in the world
I'll always be your dad

My Only Wish
Dinner's over
The sun has set
The lights go out
It's time for bed
Daddy will be home
Too early it seems
I hate it when he's home
It's then you hear the hearts scream
He fights with mom
Heads to his room
Trouble's brewing
It will be here soon
It's late at night
When I'm scared the most
That's when I'm frightened
Don't let Daddy in
Is it too much to ask
Is it too hard to find
A pure and devoted love
Is it rare to come by
I don't ask for the world
Just a hand to hold
Through the good and the bad
My only wish is for a dad
The sun's just coming up
The door slowly opens
He comes, he goes
And leaves a girl that's broken
His passion quelled
His anger gone
His little girl
Has no shoulder to cry on
Mama ignores her cries for help
Such pain most have never felt
Daddy hurts again and again
Her poor broken heart can find no friend
With the passing of time
Her pain becomes dulled
She becomes a willing victim
Her heart has been fooled
Is it too much to ask
Is it too hard to find
A pure and devoted love
Is it rare to come by
I don't ask for the world
Just a hand to hold
Through the good and the bad
My only wish is for a dad
A father
A dad
Such tormenting words
Seems so bad
Who would want one
I've seen what they are for
They take what they want
And only come back
When they want more
Love seems an empty word
A passing phrase
"I love you" He whispered
That drew her gaze
What does He want
Is what first crossed her mind
But His hand was not threatening
His face was kind
He said He loved her laugh
Kept her tears in a bottle
Gave her a hug and said
"I'm your Abba Father"
It's not too much to ask
But it is hard to find
A pure and devoted
Is rare to come by
He came to save the world
My heart to hold
He knew the only wish I had
Now I've got a dad

When Love Says Wait
He was dying
People crying
Her heart beating out of her chest
Where was He
He said He'd be there
Somehow her heart knew He knew best
His time had come
His life ebbed away
Jesus must not have heard
Her brother died
Four days passed
Jesus wept when He heard
She asked if He didn't love them
His reply bespoke compassion
"child sometime the deepest love can only be known
When it says 'wait'"
When love says "wait"
It seems an agony of time
Before we can realize our rescue
When love delays
We find it hard to rest
But it is here that we can
Hear the beating heart of love most clearly
And we finally understand
Love has never flowed deeper or run purer
Than when it says, "Wait"
He was blessed
His heart was godly
God had been good to him
Satan brought charges
The Lord's servant would fall
If he were but cursed and deprived of all
He is yours to try
Save for his life
My servant will stand secure
All that was sacred
Was torn from his life
Should he just curse God and die
Instead he blessed, his life was restored
God said, "My servant, sometimes
The deepest love can only be know when it delays
When love says "wait"
It seems an agony of time
Before we can realize our rescue
When love delays
We find it hard to rest
But it is here that we can
Hear the beating heart of love most clearly
And we finally understand
Love has never flowed deeper or run purer
Than when it says, "Wait"

Worry Casters
Worry casters go away from me!
God says tomorrow I will see
That all is under His demands
He’ll be honored through His plans.
Worry casters go find your place
In the natural state of the human race.
Don’t dig in your roots and torment my soul.
I’m hidden in Christ and under His control.
You bind up tomorrow with your tormenting words
And seep my heart into putrid curds.
Your doubtful eyes lead me astray;
Forgetting that God has planned my way.
You rob me of peace at every turn
Such satanic tools should ever burn.
Questions you cast abandon true faith
And shackle my heart against hell’s gate.
Your words dance to the rhythm of flames
For speaking your mind you’ll take the blame.
Sugar coated with “concern” –its all deception
Being used for evil at a thoughts conception.
Bridle your tongue and watch what you say
Lest you be used by Satan to lead one astray.
Faith comes by hearing- you have your command
To speak words of life when you don’t understand.
The ways of God are not for sale
To your beckonings of worry through the gates of hell.
Worry caster, purge your worries and let them rot.
Within the grin of the evil plot.
Splintering my soul with your doubts of divine
Rushes my heart into a deadly decline.
Running hard after truth away from your snare
I chase after peace and of the truth I’m aware.
You curse the way of the righteous man
Robbing my soul of the hopeful plan.
The grieves of God you’ll account for
So love with your words and sin no more.

A Soul's Worth
Wandering through the world of men
Absorbed with all that might have been
Wealth is gained and empires lost
Without considering the lives it cost
We place the profit above the person
Sacrifice all for fame and fortune
Chorus
What would a man give in return
One life to save, when will we learn
A soul’s worth can it be named?
What is the price of one reclaimed?
Can we afford to ignore the strife
What would you give for a life?
A little girl with tear stained face
Nothing can her shame erase
To save her life would be to chance
The loss of wealth and circumstance
To risk the ire of stony hearts
To feel the sting of many darts
Chorus
What would a man give in return
One life to save, when will we learn
A soul’s worth can it be named?
What is the price of one reclaimed?
Can we afford to ignore the strife
What would you give for a life?
A baby in its mother’s womb
Which very soon will be his tomb
It’s just a mass, no soul at all
That’s what they say and so they fall
Who will stand, proclaim the truth?
It is a life, destroyed in youth.
Chorus
What would a man give in return
One life to save, when will we learn
A soul’s worth can it be named?
What is the price of one reclaimed?
Can we afford to ignore the strife
What would you give for a life?
Searching through the trash for scraps
Hungry, weary, near collapse
Life’s plans gone awry
There’s nothing left do to but die
No coat, no shelter from the storm
Pain and misery now the norm
Chorus
What would a man give in return
One life to save, when will we learn
A soul’s worth can it be named?
What is the price of one reclaimed?
Can we afford to ignore the strife
What would you give for a life?
What will a man trade for his soul?
The whole world couldn't pay the toll
The Son of God from He’vn came down
To feel our pain and tread our ground
To trade our sin for His beauty
Become a ransom for the many
Astonishing thought, can it be?
The price of a soul hung on that tree
He gave His all to end the strife
Look what He gave for your life!
Chorus
What would a man give in return
One life to save, when will we learn
A soul’s worth can it be named?
What is the price of one reclaimed?
Can we afford to ignore the strife
What would you give for a life?

Psalms 63
Oh God, my God

Lead Them Home
Strong and sturdy
Yet kind and gentle
He tenderly cares for His lambs
He calls to them by name
They come running
Eager to follow His commands
He shall feed His flock
Like a shepherd
And gather the lambs in His arms
He will carry them
On His shoulders
He shall gently lead them home
Helpless and afraid
Vulnerable and naive
The sheep cannot care for themselves
He knows their fears
He binds their wounds
But for His love they want nothing else
He shall feed His flock
Like a shepherd
And gather the lambs in His arms
He will carry them
On His shoulders
He shall gently lead them home
Danger lurks
Around life's bends
He sees the terror that grips their hearts
His eye is clear
His aim is sure
And He stands ready to give His life
He shall feed His flock
Like a shepherd
And gather the lambs in His arms
He will carry them
On His shoulders
He shall gently lead them home
The sling and the stones
Care and protection
The rod and the staff
Love and correction
He shall feed His flock
Like a shepherd
And gather the lambs in His arms
He will carry them
On His shoulders
He shall gently lead them home

Show Me
You can see the pain in her eyes
You can hear the torture in her cries
The anguish of her soul is severe

Wanted
One little girl sat all alone
Her grieving soul was unknown
Her face was dirty, her clothes were poor
Her body was bruised, battered, and sore
By the side of the road she sat down to cry
For the cruel world is unloving and lies
Oh little one come to me
Oh little one now you are free
Oh little one I love you can you see
Oh little one you are wanted by me
He wiped her tears and kissed her head
He caressed her cheek and gently said
Your bonds of hatred and loneliness I will sever
You are my daughter now and forever
Your life by sin, once was haunted
But nevermore, my child, you're wanted
Her heart could not see hope through the pain
Everyone had used her just for their gain
But then He came, the healer of her soul
He took her broken heart and made her whole
He placed her on His lap and whispered in her ear
I will love you, I will always love you, I am here
Oh little one come to me
Oh little one now you are free
Oh little one I love you can you see
Oh little one you are wanted by me
He wiped her tears and kissed her head
He caressed her cheek and gently said
Your bonds of hatred and loneliness I will sever
You are my daughter now and forever
Your life by sin, once was haunted
But nevermore, my child, you're wanted
New clothes were given her pure and white
She entered the city that glittered in His light
You will be my daughter to stay by my side
A beautiful princess no longer to hide
Then she cried "This is too wonderful to be true
I am washed in His blood. I am made new"
Oh little one come to me
Oh little one now you are free
Oh little one I love you can you see
Oh little one you are wanted by me
He wiped her tears and kissed her head
He caressed her cheek and gently said
Your bonds of hatred and loneliness I will sever
You are my daughter now and forever

Don't Break the Ring
Such a simple thing
Just a common symbol
Seems it has wings
To fly away
No one believes it's real
No one sacrifices for it
Tiny piece of shiny steel
Only means a handshake or a deal
You say "I Do"
You join hands and move
Into a holy covenant
Between the Lord and you
The symbol is exchanged
Your lives forever changed
It should not be compromised for anything
Don't break the ring
Neverending love
Commitment and loyalty
Union consecrated above
Portrayed by Jesus and His bride
This time it's for real
Sacrifices will be made
Mold the clay and melt the steel
You must forgive...your debts are paid
You say "I Do"
You join hands and move
Into a holy covenant
Between the Lord and you
The symbol is exchanged
Your lives forever changed
It should not be compromised for anything
Don't break the ring
Most people seem to think
The bearer hold the key
Can call off the trust and break the vow
Why can't anyone see
The bearer cannot break it
Even if he wills it so
When his heart belongs to his Savior
In the end, EVERY knee will bow
You say "I Do"
You join hands and move
Into a holy covenant
Between the Lord and you
The symbol is exchanged
Your lives forever changed
It should not be compromised for anything
Don't break the ring
Once the vow has been made
The partakers must stand and say
My commitment I'll prove
Yes, I will be loyal to you
You say "I Do"
You join hands and move
Into a holy covenant
Between the Lord and you
The symbol is exchanged
Your lives forever changed
It should not be compromised for anything
Don't break the ring

Day of Our Lord
Where have you been
Forsaken and hated
With no one passing through
I will make you
An everlasting pride
A joy from generation to generation
Then you will know that I, the Lord,
Am your Savior
And I am your Redeemer
The holy one of Jacob
To bring good news to the poor
To bind up the brokenhearted
To proclaim liberty
To set the captives free
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
The day of His vengeance
To comfort all who mourn
He has made you beautiful
Behold, the day of the Lord
No longer will you need the sun
For light by day
Nor for brightness will the moon
Give you light
But you will have the Lord
For an everlasting light
And your God
For your glory
The smallest will become a clan
The least a mighty nation
To bring good news to the poor
To bind up the brokenhearted
To proclaim liberty
To set the captives free
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
The day of His vengeance
To comfort all who mourn
He has made you beautiful
Behold, the day of the Lord
Beauty for ashes
Oil of joy for mourning
Garment of praise
For the faint of heart
To bring good news to the poor
To bind up the brokenhearted
To proclaim liberty
To set the captives free
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor
The day of His vengeance
To comfort all who mourn
He has made you beautiful
Behold, the day of the Lord

Heritage
Time goes by
With scarce a sound
Lives are saved
By Christ they're found
As in the days of old
One thing remains the same
It's time for you to stand
And the Lord's goodness proclaim
This is your time
This is your dance
This is your call
This is your chance
To prove to the world
You were bought with a price
By your Savior, Redeemer, Father
Your heritage is in Christ
The sound of rushing wind
Flows through your heart
Your soul is enlivened
As the Spirit takes part
Your lineage is of Kings
Expect great things
Then jump off the ledge
And attempt great things
This is your time
This is your dance
This is your call
This is your chance
To prove to the world
You were bought with a price
By your Savior, Redeemer, Father
Your heritage is in Christ
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places
Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me
This is your time
This is your dance
This is your call
This is your chance
To prove to the world
You were bought with a price
By your Savior, Redeemer, Father
Your heritage is in Christ

Then jump off the ledge
And attempt great things
This is your time
This is your dance
This is your call
This is your chance
To prove to the world
You were bought with a price
By your Savior, Redeemer, Father
Your heritage is in Christ
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places
Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me
This is your time
This is your dance
This is your call
This is your chance
To prove to the world
You were bought with a price
By your Savior, Redeemer, Father
Your heritage is in Christ

You Give and You Take Away
When my hope is dashed
My dreams shattered
When life's trials overwhelm me
When I'm bruised and battered
When evil closes in
And dark nights begin to fall
When my troubles triumph over me
You are still Lord of all
When all hell closes in
And darkness closes out the day
When I'd rather give up and curse my God
Lord you give and you take away
When my joy is forayed
My strength weakened
My courage disheartened
My determination depleted
I have praised you in the good
And in the bad I'll declare your fame
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be your name
When all hell closes in
And darkness closes out the day
When I'd rather give up and curse my God
Lord you give and you take away

Love Deeply
He was crushed for your iniquity
He was bruised for your sin
The punishment that brought you peace
Was thrust upon Him
By His stripes you are healed
By His words you have life
Our debt is paid in full
We are completely justified
Love deeply
Search the heart
Try the motives
Love through the scars
Continue when it hurts
Take the next step
Relax, let go
Be still and know
That I am God
Love deeply

Captured
When the secrets of my life
Are hidden in heartache
When the cares of my heart
Are so many
Your love shines through
My darkest night
Points me to the light
And cheers my soul
My mind runs wild
My spirit's free
But you
You captured my heart
When the storms rage around me
The waves crash in
The water's rising higher
Will I sink or swim
The fire's hot
I cannot see
Your plan through the flames
Will I perish in the trial
Or will I come forth as gold
My mind runs wild
My spirit's free
But you
You captured my heart

Hold
How would a picture of your heart look
Timid, fearful, and alone
Afraid to speak your mind, this world is not kind
Would the picture of your heart be one of stone
Or would the picture of your heart be
One of loving admiration
Soft to the workings of God, clay in His hands
Would the picture of your heart be in His hands
His Father heart is weeping
His arms are aching
Just to hold you
Never forsaking
His hands can hold
Your deepest heartache
His words can calm
The troubled waters of your soul
The hands that calmed the oceans
Hold your heart
How would a movie of your heart play out
Wounded, bitter, and hurt
Afraid to love because it hurts
Would the scenes of your heart be filled with tragedy
Or would the movie of your heart be
Complete, loving, and beautiful
Blessed in its endeavors to become whole
Would the scenes of your heart be in His hands
His Father heart is weeping
His arms are aching
Just to hold you
Never forsaking
His hands can hold
Your deepest heartache
His words can calm
The troubled waters of your soul
The hands that calmed the oceans
Hold your heart
How would a book of your heart be read
A fear-filled story of unbelief
A novel of lies and doubts
Would the chapters of your heart be filled with terror
Or would the book of your heart be
True, sincere, and contrite
Earnestly seeking His sovereign plans
Would the chapters of your heart be in His hands
His Father heart is weeping
His arms are aching
Just to hold you
Never forsaking
His hands can hold
Your deepest heartache
His words can calm
The troubled waters of your soul
The hands that calmed the oceans
Hold your heart

So Help Me God
What is the definition
Of a life worth living
What would you say
Is worth giving it all away
What would you say about a love
That makes you do crazy things
Could it be that the bearers of hope
Have been given sacred wings
An intense and devoted love for God
Knowing they were divinely called
Gives them courage to stand and proclaim
To plead the blood and speak His name
I will
Proclaim good news to the lost
Protect at any cost
The weak, abused, and storm tossed
For I have been called
To spread His name abroad
Stripping down the chipped facade
Give my life for the cross
So help me God
What is the course
Set for the journey
What are the highest stakes
It will not be an easy road to take
What is the plan
For a life worth living
How much is all in the "all"
Of "give up all and follow me"
It means your all on the altar
Of sacrifice laid
Your heart surrendered
To His control
Your all on the altar laid
I will
Proclaim good news to the lost
Protect at any cost
The weak, abused, and storm tossed
For I have been called
To spread His name abroad
Stripping down the chipped facade
Give my life for the cross
So help me God
He is no fool who gives
what he cannot keep
To gain what he cannot lose
It is your life alone I choose
I will
Proclaim good news to the lost
Protect at any cost
The weak, abused, and storm tossed
For I have been called
To spread His name abroad
Stripping down the chipped facade
Give my life for the cross
So help me God

What Great Love
I was born into this world a sinful soul
But by God's grace I've been made whole
This narrow path is dark and filled with pain
But I'm the reason why my savior came
He took my cross
He took my pain
Cancelled my debt
Despised the shame
Now I'm alive
I am free
What great love
Does my Savior have for me
The trials of this life burden me down
But Jesus puts my feet on solid ground
When I'm tempted to grumble or to sigh
I remember why my savior came
He took my cross
He took my pain
Cancelled my debt
Despised the shame
Now I'm alive
I am free
What great love
Does my Savior have for me
My heart is healed my soul has been restored
When I leave the earth, I'm going with my Lord
He saw it fit to stay upon the cross
To save the lost, what a Savior
He took my cross
He took my pain
Cancelled my debt
Despised the shame
Now I'm alive
I am free
What great love
Does my Savior have for me
The Son of God came down to earth
To save a world of dying souls
If there was only one
He would have come
He took my cross
He took my pain
Cancelled my debt
Despised the shame
Now I'm alive
I am free
What great love
Does my Savior have for me

Set Free
Can't see your plan for the trees
Can't see your hand for the forest
Can't see your loving heart in the fire
Can't hear your longing voice
Begging me to come home
Can't hear your still, small whispers to my soul
You must be lost before you are found
You must turn away before you turn around
You must be blind before you can see
You must have chains before you're set free
You must have chains before you're set free
Can't see my future through the trials
The gold in the furnace
The vessel being formed
Hard to continue trudging onward
Hard to take the next step
Reach your hand out Abba Father
And take me in your lap
You must be lost before you are found
You must turn away before you turn around
You must be blind before you can see
You must have chains before you're set free
You must have chains before you're set free

Life's a Journey
Trust His hand
Love His heart
Run to Him
When the troubles start
Reach for grace
In this pain filled land
Just trust Him
He has a master plan
Life's a journey
It's a ride
It's a story of what
The Lord has done inside
A testimony
Of God's grace
Telling others just to
Call on Him in faith
Life's a journey
Just let go
Release your fears
He will care for you
His love is here
His word's a love song
To His bride
He wants to say, "well done
Good and faithful child"
Life's a journey

Live for You
You said the way is rough
You said the path is tough
You said that you're enough
To see me through
You say the road is hard
You say the trail is marred
But I know who bears the scars
Of true loves mark
Let me be the one no one else can be
Let me be a light for eternity
Let me do the things no one else wants to
Just let me serve you
Let my words be few
Let my heart be true
Let me live for you
I know the days get long
I know that I'll go wrong
I know that you are strong
To save
I'll try to talk the walk
And I'll try to walk to talk
I'll gladly wear
Ransom's mark
Let me be the one no one else can be
Let me be a light for eternity
Let me do the things no one else wants to
Just let me serve you
Let my words be few
Let my heart be true
Let me live for you

Paid in Full
You are standing
In the courtroom
You're condemned
For your sin
Judgement is passed
You are guilty
But wait
Here comes the King
He says my child
Plead the blood
Of Jesus and live
Your debt is paid
Your chains are gone
I've cast your sins from the east
To the west
Simply sanctified
Fully freed
Assuredly saved
Down on your knees
A bride madly in love
With her bridegroom
Only trusting
Ever loving
Paid in full
He says my child
Plead the blood
Of Jesus and live
Your debt is paid
Your chains are gone
I've cast your sins from the east
To the west
Simply sanctified
Fully freed
Assuredly saved

A bride madly in love

Handcrafted
A tree cut down in due season
Will become a treasure chest
Silver mined from the heart of the mountain
Will become purest gold
And a heart given to the will of the Father
Will be set on fire
And a soul surrendered to God's control
Will be the light of the world
Handcrafted by God
There are no mistakes
In the vessel He's made
You were handcrafted by God
Whatever fires you go through
His promise holds true
As silver is tried in a furnace of fire
So you'll become as gold
As clay in the steady hands of the potter
Conforming to His mold
Handcrafted
A crop planted and harvested
Will feed the multitudes
One tiny seed planted in the spring
Will grow to bear much fruit
So God's patient workings in our hearts
Will bring us to our knees
And as He carefully molds and shapes our lives
We'll bring others to belief
Handcrafted by God
There are no mistakes

They That Wait
The Lord has great things
To do in our lives
But impatience won't get you anywhere
Just sit back
Enjoy the ride
Follow His leading
He's the perfect guide
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall run and not grow weary
They shall walk and not faint
They'll rise up on wings as eagles
They that wait
The screen of life is moving fast
Don't quicken your pace
Remember that in the end
Slow and steady wins the race
You have so much life before you
Don't hurry it along
It's what you do that counts
Not how much or for how long
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall run and not grow weary
They shall walk and not faint
They'll rise up on wings as eagles

Touch the Father's Heart
Can you see the shepherd's staff
Can you hear His melodies
Can you see Him gather the lambs in His arms
If you can then you have touched the Father's heart
Can you see the sling and stones
Is your heart being led by streams of water
Can you see Him lift you on His lap
If you can then you have touched the Father's heart
The Father's heart
Holds you, He holds you
He cries when you cry
He wipes your tears
He carries your fears
His heart beats for you
His Son died for you
Because you have touched the Father's heart
Can you see the cross and nails
Can you see the pain and agony
Do you know He died for you little one
If you do then you have touched the Father's heart
Can you see the tears in His eyes
Can you see Jesus by His side
Can you see His loving heart as He carries you
If you can then you have touched the father's heart
The Father's heart
Holds you, He holds you
He cries when you cry
He wipes your tears
He carries your fears
His heart beats for you
His Son died for you
Because you have touched the Father's heart

Lift Up Your Eyes
The time is now
The day is nigh
Hearts have been prepared
Lives are on the line
You don't have yesterday
Tomorrow may not come
Live for Christ alone today
This battle will be won
Lift up your eyes
Open up your heart
The harvest is ready
The timing is right
Lift up your eyes
Open up your heart
The laborers are few
Is God calling you
Then go
The line has been drawn
Who's side are you on
Forces of darkness work even now
Seeking whom they may devour
Be a beacon of light
Illuminating the night
The battle is tough
The end is near
Oh sinner look to the skies
Lift up your eyes
Open up your heart
The harvest is ready
The timing is right
Lift up your eyes
Open up your heart
The laborers are few
Is God calling you
Then go
Go
just go
please go
Lift up your eyes
Open up your heart
The harvest is ready
The timing is right
Lift up your eyes
Open up your heart
The laborers are few
God is calling you
So go

With You
I will be your friend
Forever till the end
I love your laugh
I hold your tears
Though you may go astray
My heart longs for you
I hear you in the night
Crying, "Lord please come through"
I'm with you my child
Let me have your pain and suffering
I'm with you my child
Joy comes in the morning
I'm with you my child
By your side I will stand
I'm with you my child
I am that I AM
I am always here
My love will never fail
My hand extends to the highest hill
I'm in the deepest vale
I will carry you
When you grow weak
My heart feels your pain
My fellowship is sweet
I'm with you my child
Let me have your pain and suffering
I'm with you my child
Joy comes in the morning
I'm with you my child
By your side I will stand
I'm with you my child
I am that I AM
You are mine
My love
You are mine
My beloved
I'm with you my child
Let me have your pain and suffering
I'm with you my child
Joy comes in the morning
I'm with you my child
By your side I will stand

You Are Mine
The ways of life are storm tossed
Our paths are marred by pain
Our hearts have been broken
Our spirits have been lamed
We fall we cannot rise
Troubles push us to the ground
Keep striving for the prize
Don't walk away child turn around
Take my hand stay close to me
Walk beside me I can see
Over the crowded ways of life
I'll carry you and keep you safe
Crawl in my lap when you're afraid
When your head on your pillow you have laid
I will never leave you nor forsake
All your sorrows I will take
My child you're mine
Heavens' gates are open wide
He is always by your side
His loving arms are wide and deep
Oh your soul I the Lord will keep
When my plan you have sought
When in a storm you have been caught
I love you more than anything
You're a prince, you're a princess, you're my child
Take my hand stay close to me
Walk beside me I can see
Over the crowded ways of life
I'll carry you and keep you safe
Crawl in my lap when you're afraid
When your head on your pillow you have laid
I will never leave you nor forsake
All your sorrows I will take
My child you're mine

Night of Love
Where's the light
Am I forsaken
Why oh God
Have you deserted me
What have I done
What must I do
To see the light again
To hear you say, "I love you"
Oh the storm is so rough
The night is so dark
My heart is beating in my chest
Where have I missed the mark
But we all must have
A night in the garden
And a cross of Calvary
We must be strong through
God's night of love
Where have you gone
Where is your hand
Did I do something wrong
Where is your plan
When I look up
There's only darkness
Where is the morning
And the coming of the day
Oh the storm is so rough
The night is so dark
My heart is beating in my chest
Where have I missed the mark
But we all must have
A night in the garden
And a cross of Calvary
We must be strong through
God's night of love

Cookie Cutter People
Break the mold
Dare to change
Strike out on your own
Shed some light
Choose to be strong
Don't conform to the world
We are bought with a price
We are precious in His sight
We're a peculiar treasure
We are sought as a bride
We are a pearl of great price
We are a new canvas on God's easel
We are not cookie cutter people
Stand your ground
Don't look back
Don't wait to make a choice
You're a vessel
Bold and bright
Submit to His loving hands
We are bought with a price
We are precious in His sight
We're a peculiar treasure
We are sought as a bride
We are a pearl of great price
We are a new canvas on God's easel
We are not cookie cutter people
Make a move
It's your right to choose
But choose wisely
There are lives at stake
There are hearts to save
It's up to you to pave the way
We are bought with a price
We are precious in His sight
We're a peculiar treasure
We are sought as a bride
We are a pearl of great price
We are a new canvas on God's easel
We are not cookie cutter people

She Cried
Last thing she saw was her mama's hand
When she woke up she hurt again
Her head throbbed and her body hurt
But it was her heart that broke
And she cried harder than before
The pain was too much
Her soul was aching and sore
Would she make it out
Would she live to see her 13th birthday
Her mama's hand came down again
Her hand grasped the knife
The pain was searing but somehow healing
But it was her heart that broke
And she cried harder than before
The pain was too much
Her soul was aching and sore
Would she make it out
Would she live to see her 16th birthday
Her daddy's heart became like stone
He cared only for himself
As he took advantage of her
But it was her heart that broke
And she cried harder than before
The pain was too much
Her soul was aching and sore
Would she make it out
Would she live to see her 18th birthday
Up against the wall she fell fighting for her life
Prince Charming had just ridden in and grabbed the wielding knife
Her parents said "No, he cannot have you"
But it was her heart that broke
And she cried harder than before
The pain was too much
Her soul was aching and sore
Would she make it out
Would she live to see her 21st birthday
Her mama's hand raised just one last time
Her daddy stepped over the boundary line
"I'm leaving and don't follow" were the last words she spoke
But it was her heart that broke
And she cried harder than before
The pain was too much
Her soul was aching and sore
But she would make it out
By God's grace she was saved
Her Father in heaven raised His hand saying enough
Bring her here so I can hold her close
She climbed up into His lap and cried
But it was His heart that broke
And He cried as His soul ached
But He waited and His heart broke
But He knew she would make it
He led her through her darkest days
She didn't cry hard as she had before
Her heart was safe
In the hands of her Father
Her heart was free and her soul had wings
She had made it to God's mercy seat

Intimate Friends
The furnace is hot
The trials are hard
But there's a purpose
Behind the suffering
Is it worse than the nails
The shame and the scorn
My savior took my pain
What have I wherewith to complain
Trials are what set us apart
If we're children of God we'll be tried in a furnace of fire
Those dark nights of the soul have an end
They turn servants of the Most High into intimate friends
The path is steep
The way is torn
The fellowship of His suffering
My sea tossed with a storm
My hand in His
My head upon His shoulder
Crawling up into HIs lap
Crying Abba Father
Trials are what set us apart
If we're children of God we'll be tried in a furnace of fire
Those dark nights of the soul have an end
They turn servants of the Most High into intimate friends
Are you a friend of God
Have you been counted worthy
To carry a cross
Changing lives for eternity
You shall know them by their fruits
Whose are you
Trials are what set us apart
If we're children of God we'll be tried in a furnace of fire
Those dark nights of the soul have an end
They turn servants of the Most High into intimate friends

I Need You
When I've lost my way
And I don't stop to pray
When my heart no longer seeks your face
When my heart is torn
I see blessing in the thorn
Then my soul is lifted by your grace
I need you, Lord Jesus, in my life
I need you, Lord Jesus, through the bitterness and strife
When the world is dark and lonely, I can't see my way through
I raise my hands to heaven, and you fill my life with truth
I need you
When pain becomes a friend
Christ's love will never end
When my weaknesses show God stronger
When life's trials come my way
In Jesus' arms I'll stay
I will bless you when you give or take away
I need you, Lord Jesus, in my life
I need you, Lord Jesus, through the bitterness and strife
When the world is dark and lonely, I can't see my way through
I raise my hands to heaven, and you fill my life with truth
I need you
When my soul is dry
When I seek you asking why
When my broken heart can't hold on much longer
When people's hearts rejoice
As they turn back to the Lord
That is when we need you Lord Jesus
This is when I need you Lord Jesus
I need you, Lord Jesus, in my life
I need you, Lord Jesus, through the bitterness and strife
When the world is dark and lonely, I can't see my way through
I raise my hands to heaven, and you fill my life with truth

Love, Daddy
Dear precious one
Come talk to me
Come walk by my side
I will never leave
What is burdening you
I will listen
I am ever near to a contrite heart
My child give me your burdens
My child I write this letter to you
To show my love
To reassure your trembling heart
Of the devotion of your Father above
I want nothing more than the best for you
I ask nothing in return
Only let me love you
You are the apple of my eye
The joy of my life
Love, Daddy
Dear child of mine
Come sit in my lap
Why is your heart so heavy
Why are you so sad
Who hurt you so bad
Who took away your sweet innocence
Who told you you were damaged goods
I died for you washing it all away
My child I write this letter to you
To show my love
To reassure your trembling heart
Of the devotion of your Father above
I want nothing more than the best for you
I ask nothing in return
Only let me love you
You are the apple of my eye
The joy of my life

Beautiful
The story of her life
Is one of sadness and hardships
Her life should be marred
By a permanent cloud
But her face is light
Her eyes look up
Her words continually speak of His love
She's beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful to God
Her eyes shine and her heart tells His love
She's beautiful, beautiful
from the inside out
Her heart is radiant
And she loves deep
She's beautiful
Although her life is rough
And her path has been hard
The joy in her heart
Conquers the evil darts
Man couldn't see
The jewel before them
So God reaches out
And says my child you are
She's beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful to God
Her eyes shine and her heart tells His love
She's beautiful, beautiful
from the inside out
Her heart is radiant
And she loves deep
She's beautiful
Man didn't respect
What the Lord had created
They almost ruined everything for good
But God took the pain
And the shame and the anguish
He refined a diamond
Made a precious jewel
She's beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful to God
Her eyes shine and her heart tells His love
She's beautiful, beautiful
from the inside out
Her heart is radiant
And she loves deep
She's beautiful

But God
4:30 p.m. the telephone rang
The voice on the end of the line was fearful
Come quickly, I need help
Cold December night
Destiny took its toll
As she struggled to gain control
Fighting to live
Man showed no mercy
Her life was meaningless to them
They took what they wanted
Her life now was haunted
By the thought that noone would ever want her
What if the story ended there
What if the book was finished
The fairytale had no happy ever after
But God
Saw my need
Heard my heart's cry
Came to rescue me
He didn't set the clock
And leave it to unwind
The author interwove a mystery
In His love story
And it started with
But God
Broken, battered, bruised
Her heart was shattered
Wasn't it enough
Her story wasn't finished
Another life had been conceived
The product of man's depravity
But God in His love
Took a life to restore another
Her heart came to a stop
Her pen was stayed
The battle seemed over
The Devil had won
What if the story ended there
What if the book was finished
The fairytale had no happy ever after
But God
Saw my need
Heard my heart's cry
Came to rescue me
He didn't set the clock
And leave it to unwind
The author interwove a mystery
In His love story
And it started with
But God
She'd seen it all
Been through the fire
Seemed all that was left to do
Was to lay down and die
But God
Reached down
Took her broken heart
Picked up the pieces
And by the blood of Jesus
Filled her cup to overflowing
Helped her to love again
Set her on Christ so she could stand
My story didn't end there
My book isn't finished
My fairytale has a happy ever after
When God
Saw my need
Heard my heart's cry
Came to rescue me
He didn't set the clock
And leave it to unwind
My Daddy interwove a mystery
In His love story
And it started with
But God

Daddy to Me
Almighty Creator
The perfect lamb
Prince of peace
Son of man
Breath of life
Majestic one
Kinsman redeemer
God's only Son
Abba Father
Papa God
You love the sinner
Healing the scars
You made a way for grace
Helped me to see
Though you calmed the oceans
You're still
Daddy to me
Prince of peace
Mighty counselor
The way, the truth
And the life
You're the alpha and omega
The beginning and the end
Still I'm the one
You call friend
Abba Father
Papa God
You love the sinner
Healing the scars
You made a way for grace
Helped me to see
Though you calmed the oceans
You're still
Daddy to me

The perfect lamb
Prince of peace
Son of man
Breath of life
Majestic one
Kinsman redeemer
God's only Son
Abba Father
Papa God
You love the sinner
Healing the scars
You made a way for grace
Helped me to see
Though you calmed the oceans
You're still
Daddy to me
Prince of peace
Mighty counselor
The way, the truth
And the life
You're the alpha and omega
The beginning and the end
Still I'm the one
You call friend
Abba Father
Papa God
You love the sinner
Healing the scars
You made a way for grace
Helped me to see
Though you calmed the oceans
You're still
Daddy to me

Look Up Little One
Seems you're lonely
Like a falling leaf
Rocking down under
the cradle of the breeze
Finding your place
In the shelter of color
Blending your soul
Until you're hidden from another
Look up little one
And see the Christ
Who calls you out
and gives you life
Under the shadow
Of a mighty oak
Rest your soul
And wear His cloak
Let the breeze
Cradle your cares
Don't lie there unseen
With only a shadow to wear
Look up little one
And see the Christ
Who calls you out
and gives you life
Shout to the conqueror
Who sets the soul aflame
Burning the secret crisis
For the glory of His name
For the glory of His name
Look up little one
And see the Christ
Who calls you out
and gives you life

Love Hurts
Harsh words exchanged
Men's hearts are changed
They are hardened to peace and love
Sadness abounds
Clamor is a familiar sound
They care nothing of Calvary love
It hurts, Daddy, it hurts
My broken heart on the mend
Has just been broken once again
It aches, Daddy, it aches
My soul so sore I cannot stand
Come and take me by the hand
Daddy, love hurts
A friendship in bloom
Why must it end so soon
Their story together is finished
All their love they send
They must write again
But that last chapter will always be remembered
It hurts, Daddy, it hurts
My broken heart on the mend
Has just been broken once again
It aches, Daddy, it aches
My soul so sore I cannot stand
Come and take me by the hand
Daddy, love hurts
The time has come
The end is near
A cherished one is slipping away
How can life go on
One hour without them
Abba Father will wipe the tears away
It hurts, Daddy, it hurts
My broken heart on the mend
Has just been broken once again
It aches, Daddy, it aches
My soul so sore I cannot stand
Come and take me by the hand
Daddy, love hurts

Waterfall of Grace
Lord, pour out your grace, wash over me with holy love
Blessings raining down, cascading from your throne above
I can feel the droplets on my face
I long to bathe in the pleasure of your grace
Under the waterfall of grace
Feeling the rapture of your sweet embrace
Sensing the pleasure on your face
I want to live in the waterfall of grace
Lord, surge grace through me and overflow on waiting hearts
Wet the thirsty land and flood your love through every part
Use me Lord as a channel of your power
So that others may enjoy this living shower
Under the waterfall of grace
Feeling the rapture of your sweet embrace
Sensing the pleasure on your face
I want to live in the waterfall of grace
Lord, when life is o'r and work on earth is finally done
May we stand before your throne in the presence of your only Son
Oh, the grace that then will spill on me
As His blessed face I finally see
Under the waterfall of grace
Forever beholding your face
Wrapped in your wonderful embrace
Eternal life in the waterfall of grace

The Purchase
Innocent man I'll carry my load
No need to suffer I won't be sold
Sleeping in the shepherd's den
Loathing all the schemes of men
I hear the cry of a lonely man
Calling me so to him I ran
There He was all alone up there
Crying out from the sin He had to bear
I remembered the evil man had done
And wondered why He was the one
I grieved the murder of an innocent man
Who wouldn't let me carry the schemes of man
My shackled heart released from hell
I found that indeed I was for sale
I beckoned Him to come on down
Until on His head they placed a crown
I cried out "Innocent man don't suffer for me!
I'm content with my pain, can't you see?"
His broken back was crimson red
I stood at His feet and groaned as He bled
He refused my plea and closed His eyes
Reconciling to love the pain and lies
I grieved the murder of an innocent man
Who wouldn't let me carry the schemes of man
My shackled heart released from hell
I found that indeed I was for sale
His skin was shredded, unraveled, and torn
I fell to my knees and with groanings I mourned
Darkness covered the blood-stained wood
I would've made Him come down if i could
Near the puddles of blood I was left there to stand
Gasping for breath at the sight of the God-man
Why was I beckoned to watch Him die
I'm friends with my pain and content with the lie.
I grieved the murder of an innocent man
Who wouldn't let me carry the schemes of man
My shackled heart released from hell
I found that indeed I was for sale
Innocent man, I'll carry my load
No need to suffer I won't be sold
The hurt is mine I wouldn't dare
Let them scorn you as you bear
I grieved the murder of an innocent man
Who wouldn't let me carry the schemes of man
My shackled heart released from hell
I found that indeed I was for sale
Innocent man's encounter with hell
My heart, His home, no longer for sale
Innocent man laid in His grave
Intercession for my soul was made
Victory etched on His face
With the Redeemed I took my place
Clothed in white, bought with a price
Seated on His throne, I'm no longer my own
For sale
I was bought with a price
For sale
Three words changed the course of man's life
Three words made a way for men to survive
The gravity of man's state diminished
As He cried out, "It is finished".
