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

Believe

landscapes-trees, Bing Image, 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

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

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!

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

Overwhelmed

I overwhelm you with My favor
You are overwhelmed with My love
When life at times overtakes you
Find My grace to overcome/

Overwhelmed by Your presence
Overwhelmed by Your love
Triumph came as You promised
Victory sent from heaven above/

Not by might, nor by power
But by My Spirit says the Lord
Once defeated now victorious
Standing in redeeming love/

Overwhelmed by Your presence
Overwhelmed by Your love
Triumph came as You promised
Victory sent from heaven above/

By faith Your word refining
Endurance taught my soul to long
Your perfect will birthed by Your Spirit
Steadfast love my great reward/

Overwhelmed by Your presence
Overwhelmed by Your love
Triumph came as You promised
Victory sent from heaven above
