satisfy

lord, teach me to be fully satisfied in you.
be my only be my all
free my heart to full adore
all you give and all you are

aren't we all just the outcasts the poor and the dying
the drugged out and beat down and dirty and crying
where do our hearts go whenever we stumble

we met the rich man but he was homeless like us
but he's here with a plan to get us out of this dust
his last veil tearing action was to know separation
that gap we never could overcome
to get to God all on our own.

he knew it all for us.

hi


what is it that we long for
is it beauty is it pain
is it something calling through the rain
is the aching in our hearts
just a meter for the storm
or is it where we feel the need, the further pointing form

why do we run and fascinate
with all the things that drain our hearts
to try and fill them up again
though seive-like holes are fully round

our beauty stems from being bride
to heaven's master and our lord
here below we strive for beauty just to
cover up the ugliness we all can sense inside
our aching for a satisfaction that
we'll only ever find in Christ

I wish that I "got" life. But Lord I just can't run from you.

trust him your soul for
he is faithful and good for
all we need 
he will supply
and if we were in charge
the world would not survive
but because not we but he
the light is still ashine.

broken heart

one of the worst things about sin
is it keeps us all from loving
people

baCK

sometimes there is just no way in the world or hell or heaven
that i am brave enough to tell the truth.

"what can we give when we're all ripped up inside"
i wrote that but if i gave it up to all the world
what would be left of me?
and who would understand my pleading
though i know it all inside
it rips and shreds the core.
i may be ripped but i am also whole.
but though i'm whole i can be ripped.

ha'shir shel mi

there are days when the world seems to fall apart
when we lose sight of christ though he holds our hearts
and our sin takes hold and we fall so hard
and though we repent we listen to our hearts as they tell us "you've fallen too far"

but we were never any better in and of ourselves
we were always fallen blind and hopeless lost and dead
but you came and you sought and you saved our souls
and your love draws us near when we've run so far
so we come to you now falling on our knees
so forgive us
and thank you lord

Lord I want to be here swimming in your sea
in your pleasure so deep that my heart is free
and I know your arms are my deepest rest
and in you I hide when my fears overwhelm and I doubt if your love covers me

but we were never any stronger in and of ourselves
we were always fallen blind and helpless lost and dead
but you came and you sought and you saved our souls
and your love draws us near when we've run so far
so we come to you now falling on our knees
so forgive us
and thank you lord
