Believe

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

Believe, believe, believe in Me
Your Holy God I long to be
Give your life willingly that I
May shape My will in thee

When humble seek Me diligently
Give up their lives with bended knee
Your legacy secured in me will shine throughout eternity

Believe, believe, believe in Me
Your Holy God I long to be
Anchored in My Sovereignty
Believe, believe, believe in Me

Blessed are those who follow Me
Anchored in My love for thee
And all that God has promised me
Joy and peace in harmony (repeat)

Believe, believe, believe in Me
Your Holy God I long to be
Give your life willingly that I
May shape My dream in thee

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

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!

O Faithful God my trust secure
All my life not once alone
Every need a fragrance pure

I AM yours loving you
On My throne giving you

Son of God, Eternal Life
Endless hope without respite
In Your time all beauty mine
All that wait and find delight/

I AM here blessing you
I AM yours loving you
On MY Throne giving you
All I promised, vowed to you/

Distracted

Before time captured my name
God knew me, shaped my frame
Ascribed beauty, spoke number of days
Taught me to know and love His ways/

I am distracted, distracted be
My Father’s home sealed in me forever
Heaven in sight life directed be
This humble frame delights in Thee/

His thoughts are higher, my thoughts below
His ways above higher than the earth
He is the first, He is the last
This is my Father, Lord God Almighty/

I am distracted, distracted be
My Father’s home sealed in me forever
Heaven in sight life directed be
This humble frame delights in Thee/

His thoughts toward me too great to number
Made in His image, reflect His wonder
Cause me to wonder how can this be
Dare move my glance O God from Thee/

I am distracted, distracted be
My Father’s home sealed in me forever
Heaven in sight life directed be
This humble frame delights in Thee

Reflection: A Life Walk

Could I have known the road ahead
Lay priceless jewels for me alone
Placed by God no one could take
All for me His treasure safe/

Step by step He gave me strength
Taught me how to bend and break
Faith renewed time and again
A warrior for Christ I became/

Now I know in part what lay
On the line by faith that day
Transformed the person meant to be
Priceless treasures assigned to me/

Thank You for Your loving hand
Keeping, guiding, protecting and
Guarding all Your future plans
That my soul with Savior stands/

Could I have known the road ahead
Lay priceless jewels for me alone
Placed by God no one could take
All for me His treasure safe

A Perfect Day

A perfect day my soul at peace
My plans surrendered yielded be
To Him alone my trust belongs
To birth His will in me alone/

A perfect day all is at rest
A day to prosper at His bequest
His will supreme I honor best
When I surrender all triumph rest/

A perfect day of true success
Lies in the wisdom of God’s best
To wait upon His Word my test
My rock, my fortress, His righteousness/

A perfect day my soul at peace
My plans surrendered yielded be
To Him alone my trust belongs
To birth His will in me alone

The Sound of Rain

The sound of rain to ears refined
Through tempest storms and fire divine
This heart of mine now holy bound
Blessings promised are now mine/

Hear the sound all those who wait
For God above in whom our faith
Shall not fail our hope to save
To bless, restore our lives this day/

The storm has passed, this trial of life
His faithful light, His hand held tight
Now clear the path He had in mind
We stay the course, His holy child/

The sound of rain to ears refined
Through tempest storms and fire divine
This heart of mind now holy bound
Blessings promised are now mine!
