Do you feel God’s love
His healing rain
the rain falling
life in him
His living waters
grace falling
washing our fears
washing us
all of our lives
healing rain
giving hope
casting out doubt
joy in our peace
given by Christ
by God’s
rain falling
washing over us

To this parched earth

Do Not Fear
A whisper in my spirit
not audible, but so real
the comfort of my Savior
whispering to me
a silent word, hope
a balm to my anguish
healing me, a work in process
starting my journey
Saved, in my tears
the words of God
Do Not Fear
I am with you
I love you
You are my son
come back to me
I am glad you have come back home
all is forgiven.
By grace alone.

Hear My Cry!
How well I know
the moaning, the pain
opening my heart
hours in the pew
kneeling
bowed low
Crying out to You
Hear My Cry! Lord!
I need you
save me, I have failed
I am in the pit
swallowed by my sin
How I cried that day
opening my heart
to you and you alone
needing you then, as now
to redeem me from death
the judgment I have earned
your grace, alone
that I need, You

You heard me
Even when words failed me
when words would not come
when my cries
my moans, in pain
the ache of my sin
heavy on my heart
sobbing in your temple
tears falling
sprayed out of me
You heard me
the stirrings of my heart
knowing my folly
the turning from you
that I am that Prodigal
knowing you and yet turned
to the flesh, to the world
to the baser desires
knowing my sin
in the pit of realization
bawling to you
you heard me
and lifted me up
changing me forever
in you alone

to the flesh, to the world
to the baser desires
knowing my sin
in the pit of realization
bawling to you
you heard me
and lifted me up
changing me forever
in you alone

From deep within the pit
In my despair
aware of my poverty
my sin washing over me
falling, falling
from deep within the pit
I cry to you oh Lord
How I remember that day
surrendering all
crying, crying
sitting in the pew
feeling the weigh
pulling me down
yet, release
falling away
scales falling away
the weigh falling
released from the shackles
the chains unlocked
falling away
hearing my cries
from deep within the pit
Your hand lifting me
that I may see
the taste of freedom
in you, oh God
only in You

healed from within

Just Like Everyone Else
Nothing special about us
plain as can be
made from the stuff of earth
struggling in life
Just like everyone else
until we met the Christ
falling before Him humble
choosing life instead
All of our lives before this
walking toward destruction
foolish in our own selves
that we had a clue
Only in the arms
of our loving Savior
only because of His grace
may we see our Maker

plain as can be
made from the stuff of earth
struggling in life
Just like everyone else
until we met the Christ
falling before Him humble
choosing life instead
All of our lives before this
walking toward destruction
foolish in our own selves
that we had a clue
Only in the arms
of our loving Savior
only because of His grace
may we see our Maker

Bound for Punishment
Until we fell on our knees
until we changed our path
baptized in Christ
redeemed by His blood
Bound for punishment
for the fires of hell
only by the grace of God
may we see heaven instead

Headed for Destruction
Before the grace of Christ
his willing sacrifice
the love of God washing
washing over us
All of us destined
headed for destruction
the pit, Sheol waiting
from before we were born
Only through Christ
his gift on the cross
offering up his life
that we would not be lost

The Lover of Our Soul
Deeper than our partner
our lover in this life
stronger than the bonds of blood
coursing through our veins
The lover of our souls
the God, most high
wanting only relationship
that we would draw nigh
Wanting to be with us
to ever walk by our side
that we would turn from our wickedness
and leave the world behind

The Wisdom that God Gives Us
We must remember
the failing of Solomon
ignoring the call of God
in the way to stay close to Him
The wisdom that God gives us
that we would stay faithful
turning from the siren’s call
and cleave to our God instead
The world around us
seeking our destruction
that we would fall into
the pit of our sinful selves
God alone leading
us away from destruction
guiding us to heaven
if we will heed his call

Lead to Destruction
The temptations around us
the false idols, baubles
all trying to lead us
to the pit, to our doom
God calling to us
in the depth of his wisdom
his love providing
a way to eternal life
The world we know
all that we value here
leading us to destruction
if we heed the sirens’ call
all of this leading
us away from Jesus
from the love of our Savior

giving us new birth
His light poured into us
the Spirit indwelling
witnesses to his goodness

Bearing His light
to the ends of the earth
offering hope

His Light filling our lamps
One candle lighting another
Christ living in us
His light filling our lamps
light to share with the world
He are the vessels
the lamps to a dark world
bringing the light of Jesus
until all have heard
God’s message of healing
bringing us back from death
leading us to heaven
through the gate of Christ

Flowing Down from Heaven
That we could be channels
that we would be light
bearing the word from your temple
flowing down from heaven
to lift the people up
Offering our witness

His guidance and protection
in the storms of this life
The hope of all nations
in the person of the Christ

God’s Mercy Unending
In the stumble of my days
more than a purposeful walk
staggering in my witness
failing to bear the cross
God’s mercy unending
His grace boundless
saving me from my wickedness
when I fail to proclaim Christ
Giving me new fire
oil for my lamp
bearing me up like eagles
on wings of the dove
Guiding me when I stumble
assuring me of grace
sharing with me moments
when I can offer someone my praise

Joy in My Failing
Wanting to be worthy
of God’s saving grace
yet joy in my failing
my stumbles in this life
For God’s love unending
no matter what we do
so long as we are faithful
in all we say and do
God saves me, a sinner,
when I fall short
God’s grace alone
saving me from death

The journey of our faith
Not a destination
save for heaven above
the journey of our faith
a testament to love
God’s grace descending
falling like a dove
the fire burning within us
enabling us to love
To go outside our comfort
sometimes to walk on water
to share God’s love with our neighbor
our sister and our brother
Seeking ever
to walk closer to Christ
wanting to be worthy
every day of our life

Lifting Up Our Neighbors
Each of us like the four
needing to be ready
lifting up our neighbors
bringing them to the Lord
All of us broken
lame, sick, blind
needing the love of our Savior
to begin to make us whole
Each of us to lift up
to carry our neighbors
to bring them to our Savior
that they may be restored

The Whisper of Life – v2
So briefly we shine
in the whisper of life
here for a moment
in our time on the earth
So much we can do
we are called to no less
to share the joy of Christ
with everyone we meet
Called from our slumber
to be a light to the nations
to offer hope to the captives
sharing our joy,
to the ends of the earth
