As I have promised – v2

Trust and believe
So shall it be
says the Lord our God
as I have promised
what I have planned
from before the beginning
the days numbered
His purpose known
in the loving mind of God
in His time alone

On the Shoulder of God – v2

Leaning upon the Creator
in His loving arms
up on His shoulders
carried through the troubles of life

Our Redeemer, our Savior
our Rescuer from death
from before our birth
comfort in the Lord,
all of our days
the source of our strength

Trusting the Potter – v3

Our clay on the wheel
trusting the Potter
the working of His hands
the children honoring the Father
the created to the Maker
giving our lives over
to His loving hands
Our clay back on the wheel
each time we stumble
the hands of the Potter
redeeming our clay

Disciplined with Justice

The promise of God
in the gathering storm
in the fire of war
his judgment to come
but not complete destruction
the people to be chastened
to return to the law
disciplined with justice
but not completely destroyed
for God is with us
even in the storm

Forgetting My Sin


Remembering my iniquities no more
forgetting my sin
forgiving my wickedness
my estrangement from him

A new chance, a new covenant
the words of God living
inscribed on each believer’s heart
sharing God’s love with you and me

We Would Know God


As with the ancient people
those of the descendants
of Abraham, of Jacob
the flock of David

We would know God
if we would only see
the love of our creator
poured out for you and me

Come to save us
to atone for our iniquities
a new covenant beating
alive in our hearts today

The spirit, the law
beating with us
walking ever with us
on the journey of our lives

Written on Our Hearts - 2


Not on tablets of stone
that can crumble
not on books or scrolls
that can burn or be forgotten
Written on our hearts
the commands
the law of God
that we would remember
his calling to the people
to each one of us
to be faithful to his purpose
his loving plan for us

Hope, even in judgment,
triumph after struggles
all of us to be gathered

our straying from the faith
back into the community
all of the sheep carried
back into the fold
