The peace of a child's face, quiet in repose
The eyelashes flutter, the thumb is sucked
As she lays down her head and drifts off
In the dreamland, what will be?
Remembering the joy of playing in the park
Swinging way up high, running oh so fast
Playing with her brothers, playing with the cat
Perhaps she dreams of Jack?
Rather, I believe, she is resting in the arms
Of her Lord and King, telling Him her story
Hearing His in return, hearing of His love
His promise for her life, to love her eternal.
The peace on her face as she rests in His arms
“I love you, my child, and I have great plans
My daughter, you will grow strong in your faith
Your voice will be true as you sing praises of your King.”
“Before your parents knew you, I formed your every bone.
The hairs on your head placed there by My hand.
My dear child, use the words and voice I give
Share your faith and live true for me.”
~A place for me to share what is on my heart. Words given to me by God and thoughts on life.~

Desperation
Speak to me, Lord, let me hear Your voice
Show me Your way and fill me with Your peace.
Lord, I feel so lost and alone; I need to feel You near.
I cry out to You, Lord; show me the way!
I need to hear Your voice, I need to feel Your hand
Comfort me, Lord, and heal my brokenness!
Please, Father, come to me now.
What did I do? Why do I feel this?
Pain, uncertainty, guilt, sorrow.
Lord, I beg You to come and wash over me
Wash this sin away that I may be
In Your presence again, I plead.
I need to hear Your voice, I need to feel Your hand
Comfort me, Lord, and heal my brokenness!
Please, Father, come to me now.
I yearn to be with You, my Lord and King.
Where I feel no sorrow, no pain, only joy at Your side
I need You, Lord, I need to be with You
No more sin, no more broken hearts.
Lord, guide me home, safely to Your side.
I need to hear Your voice, I need to feel Your hand
Comfort me, Lord, and heal my brokenness!
Please, Father, come to me now.
Your all encompassing love, like a Father for His children
The pain You must have felt at the sacrifice
The sacrifice of Your Son, the death that saved us all
The joy You felt as He rose again and
Saved all Your sons and daughters.
Oh, Lord, I thank You every day of my life.
You saved my soul, You gave me breath
With the sacrifice of You beloved Son.
Show me Your way and fill me with Your peace.
Lord, I feel so lost and alone; I need to feel You near.
I cry out to You, Lord; show me the way!
I need to hear Your voice, I need to feel Your hand
Comfort me, Lord, and heal my brokenness!
Please, Father, come to me now.
What did I do? Why do I feel this?
Pain, uncertainty, guilt, sorrow.

Follow Me
“Follow Me,” says the Father to His children.
“Follow Me as I show you new and exciting things!”
“Follow Me,” says the Teacher to His students.
“Follow Me as I lead you away from danger.”
I will follow, all of my days
Show me Your ways
I beg You, please.
“Follow Me,” says He. “I do not promise and easy road.
In fact, I tell you now, it will be hard.
There will be persecution; there will be pain
But I promise you, the reward is great!”
I will follow, all of my days
Show me Your ways
I beg You, please.
“Follow Me,” says my King.
“You will hear My voice, you will feel my hand.
I will guide you to adventures untold.
As you give your life, I will give you mine.
Follow Me.”

Mantle of Authority
I have His mantle over me
I claim it now, I claim it always
His mantle over me gives me the authority
The authority to live, the authority to love
The authority to fight and heal in His name.
His mantle over me, His covering of blood
The power contained, the power revealed.
All in His name, comes the grace of salvation
All in His blood, comes the power of healing.
His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.
All around the world, His mantle of authority
Moves His church in His grace
His healing power of love
Healing His land, healing His people.
Turn my face upon Him, upon His word, upon His grace
Claim the mantle over me
And face the battle again.
Run the race, claim the healing,
In Christ's name, I pray.
His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.
He paid the price, He sacrificed
His life for me, His healing He gave
His revelation spoken unto me
His revelation brings me live, His mantle gives me authority.
He takes my sin, He takes my sickness
He takes my pain and my sorrow.
He gives me love, He gives me grace
He gives me authority and words to speak.
His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.
I claim it now, I claim it always
His mantle over me gives me the authority
The authority to live, the authority to love
The authority to fight and heal in His name.
His mantle over me, His covering of blood
The power contained, the power revealed.
All in His name, comes the grace of salvation
All in His blood, comes the power of healing.
His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.
All around the world, His mantle of authority
Moves His church in His grace
His healing power of love
Healing His land, healing His people.
Turn my face upon Him, upon His word, upon His grace
Claim the mantle over me
And face the battle again.
Run the race, claim the healing,
In Christ's name, I pray.
His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.
He paid the price, He sacrificed
His life for me, His healing He gave
His revelation spoken unto me
His revelation brings me live, His mantle gives me authority.
He takes my sin, He takes my sickness
He takes my pain and my sorrow.
He gives me love, He gives me grace
He gives me authority and words to speak.
His mantle over me, His mantle over me
Through His mantle over me, I live my life for Him.
As a Child
Faith as a child
Is what we are called to have.
The questions they ask
“Who?” and “How?”
But most importantly, “WHY?”
Give them an answer
They accept without doubt, without fear
With many more questions
But faith in the Truth.
Faith in the Truth, You call us to have
Faith in the Truth, now and forever.
Faith as a child
Accepting Your way.
Growing in Truth
Every step of the way.
Show me more, teach me how.
I believe what You say
You love me, I know
Teach me more of the Kingdom.
Faith in the Truth, You call us to have
Faith in the Truth, now and forever.
As a child longs
For his father's embrace
So also, do I long
To be near to You.
I long for Your love
I long for Your Truth
I long for the faith as a child
We are called to have.
Faith in the Truth, You call us to have
Faith in the Truth, now and forever.

Love Song
His gentle love washes over me
Cleanses me from head to toe.
His sacrificial love breaks my heart
As I see Him up upon that cross.
I close my eyes and weep
As I ponder His love for me.
I have no power
I have nothing to boast about
I have only my sin and
Crumbling remains of life.
Yet, He loves me still
He loves me, yes, me!
He loves me enough to give
His life for mine.
I open my eyes in awe
Of His wondrous, powerful love.
My King looks upon me
His entire body shining with His love.
“My child,” says He.
“I will love you for all time.
Call upon me and I will be there.”
“Lift your eyes and see my face.
Fall to your knees within my embrace.
I will be here for all time,
This is merely the beginning of our story.”
Cleanses me from head to toe.
His sacrificial love breaks my heart

Priorities
Everybody tells me
My husband should be
My first priority.
Everybody tells me
My happiness should be
My first priority.
Everybody tells me
“Whatever makes you happy.”
I'm here to tell you
That's not the way it's going to be!
You see, my first priority
Is my Lord and King.
Let me tell you, my first priority
Is whatever makes Him happy.
My life's priority
Is to live my life for my King.
My first priority
Is to glorify my risen Savior.
Now, does that priority
Have a certain vision?
That, I cannot say
With certain clarity.
But I can say
It will be a wonderful life
As I am broken and molded
As I am shaped in God's will.
My first priority
Let me say it again
Is to live my life
Not for me, but for my King.

Healing
I reach down to soothe the pain
To comfort the broken heart.
Tears fall from my eyes
As I hear her hurting sobs.
“Why do I hurt?
Why do I cry?
Why is this happening to me?”
Please, God, come down
Rain your healing love all over this broken soul.
May she feel your loving grace
As it washes through her life.
Lord, I see your face;
Reach out my arms again.
Her anger hurts, her anger cuts
Through the deep, abiding pain.
They glare with their fists
Ready at their sides.
“Why do we hurt?
Why do we cry?
Why has this happened to us?”
Please, God, come down
Let your forgiveness cover their aching lives.
May they feel your embrace
As it wipes away their sins.
Lord, I feel your joy;
Reach out my arms again.
I raise my hands in celebration
Their joy reaching down in my heart.
Their eyes are opened
They feel your grace.
“The Lord has come.
He has saved our lives.
My Lord loves us through all time.”
To comfort the broken heart.
