Heaven

Sometimes I wonder,

What will heaven be like.

What will I see, what will I feel,

When I hear You call my name.

In that moment when pain and fear

Forever fade away.

You have been with me each and every day.

You have helped me climb mountains,

Then we danced when we reached the top.

You walked beside me,

Even when I doubted Your love.

You took my hand, gave me wisdom,

And helped me understand.

You carried me in the valleys,

And helped me find my way

When I was lost.

You held me close in my sorrows

And healed the holes in my heart.

We shared tears of joy and tears of pain.

When I fell You helped me up

And gave me strength,

You restored my soul.

You filled me with peace on cloudy days,

As we rested in sunlit meadows,

Filled with Your grace.

When I wonder what heaven will be like,

I realize You have been showing

Me all along.

God's Love

Lord,

Your love is patient,

Your love is kind.

You forgive the sin and darkness

I sometimes hide.

Lord, You see right through me,

You see it all,

Yet You love me just the same.

Your love is greater than my regrets,

Brighter than my darkness,

You are greater than all.

Please fill my heart with

Your love and grace.

Help me help others who are in pain.

May my joys and my sorrows,

My wounds and my scars,

Become healing music

In Your magnificent hands.

Amen.

Your Love is the Best of All

 

 

Of all the gifts ever given to me,

Of all the blessings I've ever known,

Lord, Your love is the best of all.

Of all the sunsets I've ever seen,

Of all the flowers

That have ever bloomed,

Lord, Your love is the best of all.

Of all the loves I've ever known,

Of all the friendships I've ever had,

Lord, Your love is the best of all.

Of all the races I've ever won,

Of all the success I've ever found,

Lord, Your love is the best of all.

Of all the starlit nights I've ever seen,

Of all the people I could have been,

Lord, being Your child

Is the best of all.

 

 

 

What Does the Future Hold?

The loss was more than I could take.

The future I knew is now gone.

I am afraid and feel alone.

I know You are here, Lord,

Standing beside me,

Crying with me.

You would never abandon me.

Though I cannot see You,

Or feel You near,

I know You are here.

Lord, what will my future be?

Where shall I go?

What shall I do?

In my heart I heard You say,

"Take My hand

And walk with Me.

Let go of tomorrow,

Spend today with Me.

Tomorrow,

We can bring light where there is darkness,

Hope where there is hopelessness,

Healing where there is pain."

Though, my future has changed,

Though I am unsure and a little afraid,

I know You will guide me

And give me strength.

So I won't worry about tomorrow,

For it is safely in Your hands.

Today, I will spend with You.

 

 

 

 

It Only Takes a Spark

 

God puts a spark down in our souls.

Though it might not realize it,

Though it may seem small at first,

This spark holds the birth of our faith.

It awakens us from within,

And opens our eyes to truly see,

Our ears to truly hear,

And our hearts to truly love.

Our sparks can grow into a flame,

Shining light into the darkness.

It transforms us from within,

It can change those we meet.

When we step out in faith

And give your spark a chance,

We will see our spark become a flame.

It will radiate love,

Spread hope and joy,

More sparks will awaken

And set the world aglow.

 

 

 

 

There is a Mountain I Cannot Climb on My Own

The cross was used for

Sin and shame.

It was an awful,

Sight to see.

Then You came, Lord,

And made it beautiful for me.

Your cross tells a story,

One of redemption,

Because You died for me.

I am forgiven,

Your light lives in me,

You are mine Lord,

Lord of all.

My chains are broken,

Because came to set me free.

There is a mountain,

I cannot climb.

Without Your strength, Lord,

Without Your love,

I am too weak to climb.

You gave Your life, Lord,

You washed me white.

You are with me,

So I can climb.

To the top Lord,

Together we will climb.

At the top, Lord,

I'll shout Your Name,

For You, Lord,

Are my living hope.

Jesus Christ,

Is my living hope.
