Belong

nature-gardens-300x199,google image
My Fathers child will always be
Beloved, cherished, desired by Thee
Belong now I know my Father’s love
Adored, Your faithfulness found me

Tossed about, trampled, entangled
Gripped by this world in loveless despair
Became, embraced, thought I belonged only to find
It was never enough, an endless climb

My Father’s child will always be
Steadfast love ignited me, changed
my world that I could see the life planned
for me, sons and daughters our heritage in Thee

O Most High, O Sovereign One who
Loved the world and left not one
Abandoned but became a Father to
all who choose to belong for eternity

When hope is met and all is well
Your path is smooth, your blessings swelled
When victory won and trials undone
Remember Me and all I’ve done, I AM

Your Counselor, Mighty God,Father Everlasting
Prince of Peace, Covenant Keeper, I AM
Keeper of your soul, Faithful evermore, I AM

My voice you heard, faithfully obeyed
Careful to do all, kept My ways, now all these
Blessings have come your way, all these blessings
Overtaken you, Faithful evermore, I AM

Keeper of your soul, Faithful evermore, I AM

When hope is met and all is well
Your path is smooth, your blessings swelled
When victory won and trials undone

A dream, a vision birthed in me
Desire that shaped my life for Thee
Fulfilling all Your hopes and dreams

Song of My Heart

healing-gardens1-920x350,google image
Abandoned and hopeless this world stood alone
Stripped down to existing without God as its own
Then He stooped down, chased darkness away
And pointed us toward light when love had its way/

His light brought us out from defeat and shame
Caused us to triumph and grace now reigns
Shall ever be our life proclaim
O song of my heart eternal His praise/

God Most High love covers the world
Sent Jesus His Son to rescue our souls
Savior, Servant, Redeemer and Lord
O song of my heart eternal reward/

His power bestowed on Resurrection Day
In humility and trust I shall obey
Hope eternal raised up in my soul, grateful
My song endless Your praises behold!/

Savior, Servant, Redeemer and Lord
O song of my heart eternal reward!

My God, My Life

O Lord, You have examined my heart
And know everything about me
You know when I sit down or stand
When far away You know my every thought

You chart the path ahead of me
And tell me where to stop and rest
Every moment You know where I am
You know what I am going to say
Before I even say it

You both precede and follow me
And place Your hand of blessing on my head

This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe!
I can never be lost to Your Spirit!
I can never get away from My God!

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
And knit them together in my mother’s womb
Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex
It is amazing to think about

Your workmanship is marvelous
And how well I know it
You were there while I was being formed
in utter seclusion and saw me before I was born

You scheduled each day of my life
Before I began to breathe,
Every day was recorded in Your Book!

You are thinking about me constantly
I can’t count how many times a day
Your thoughts turn toward me, when I awaken
In the morning You are still thinking of me

Search me, O God and know my heart; test my thoughts
Point out anything You find in me that makes You sad
And lead me along the path of everlasting life

Adapted from Psalm 139

In You Alone

You know my frame, my every heart beat
You know my days, my path to keep
Yet in this place where our hearts meet
In You alone my trust do keep/

You know my name, how my heart leaps
At the sound, You calling me
You know my pain, my fears relieved
In You alone my trust do keep/

You know my life, your plans for me
You know my ways, abide in me
You know the way, your truth I keep
In You alone, abide in me/

In You alone my trust do keep
I bow before Your Majesty
Where angels dwell in praise adorned
In You alone, my heart will soar, In You alone

All In All

I dare not ask what life would be
Had not my Savior died for me
The least of man my wanderings lead to
Empty treasures surrounded be/

Love reached out my soul now clings
Ignited flame unquenched remains
Straightened path now seeks Your Name
This new life now sings Your praise/

My All in All You have become
Now I sing Your endless love
Take my hand that You may be
ALL in All my life in Thee/

I dare not ask what life would be
Had not my Savior died for me
The least of man my wanderings lead to
Empty treasures surrounded be

Take my hand that You may be
All in All my life in Thee!

The Path

Before Creation our journey set
Our path, our legacy designed to last
Lined with beauty beyond our grasp
Received by choice our Savior’s best/

The wonder of being found and loved
Earning not our Savior’s love
He first loved the created world
Then set before His path of love/

Oh hail the King for love so vast
We ne’er exhaust His steadfast path
Lined with goodness endless last
Enduring love my seal my path/

Teach us Savior to choose Your path
Wisdom taught prepares us best
Love corrects our hearts to trust
More like You our desired rest/

Before Creation our journey set
Our path our legacy designed to last
Lined with beauty beyond our grasp
Received by choice our Savior’s best/

Oh hail the King for love so vast
We ne’er exhaust His steadfast path
Lined with goodness endless rest
Enduring love my seal my path!

Angel Shout

O victory shout I hear the sound
The heavens roar and angels shout
His righteousness now crowns my life
Refined as gold His great delight!/

Deep billows rolled over me at times
His refuge sought, His arms delight
Taught me to look on Him alone
How sweet the fellowship I now own
How sweet the fellowship I now own/

O victory shout I hear the sound
The heavens roar and angels shout
His righteousness now crowns my life
Refined as gold His great delight!/

The joy beyond the struggle past
Could not have known endured at last
The victors crown my great reward
Your grace, your mercy, your love my own/

O victory shout I hear the sound
The heavens roar and angels shout
His righteousness now crowns my life
Refined as gold His great delight!
