Before we speak – v2

When we are struggling,
bearing our burdens, trials,
when our hearts are heavy
when we seek to cry out to God…
 
God has already heard us,
God is already responding,
before we speak a word of prayer,
God is wrapping us in love…
 
When we pray, honestly,
God has already heard us,
God is already working
to lift our broken hearts,
to answer our prayer…

New – v2

Broken, yes, I am damaged,
Loaded with scar tissue,
A life filled with regrets,
Not following my path…
 
But I am New, each morning,
As God is my comfort,
My Creator, my Savior,
God has made me brand New…

within his walls of salvation

Seeking to live
ever, always
within his walls of salvation
in the arms of his grace

Following your law
your call for our life
going the way of the cross
as did our brother the Christ

Through the gates of praise

Through the gates of praise
the way of the Christ
coming to you oh Lord
because of your grace

Seeking you ever
all of our days
longing to be with you
in the journey of life

Singing praises
for the wonder of you
seeking to please you
in all that we do
