I'm pretty sure it was you
who called me out into
the light

and i'm
pretty sure it was you
who called me out into
the darkness to be a light

and they say
that I should know your voice by now
all I hear is thunder
asking for his lightning to
keep shining through

the darkest place
in the darkest night
to be a light and know that
this is not my home
but i know 
that I am closer from here
I cannot stay long

my whole life
I was told to keep
separated
from the darkness
but Jesus
took her by the hand

so dear pure one
how does it feel to keep clean
while me and Jesus
are washing
dirty feet


and they say
that I should know what's right by now
all i hear is
thunder
asking for his lightning to
keep shining through

the darkest place 
in the darkest night
to be a light and know that
this is not my home
but i know that i am closer
from here
i cannot stay long

we know the harvest is plenty
plenty too
and we know the workers are few
willing to
and we know the harvest is plenty to
and we know the workers are few willing to

step out to
the darkest place
in the darkest night
to be a light and know that
this is not my home
but i know
that i am closer 
from here 
to your voice
once again

It's Like Lightning

Come and lead us to
The quiet water, won't you
Come and lead us home

Come and lead us to
The quiet water where you
Come and lead us home

Take Us to the secret place where
Only you can teach us
How to be whole

Take us to the secret place where
Only you can teach us
How to be Holy

Lead us to
The stillness of you

I used to think it was over
But I saw you standing there
I used to think it was over
But I saw you with arms wide open

Lead Us

Things are different now
Things aren't so simple anymore

God this is not what you promised me
This is not what I was expecting from you, My Father
You are my provider
I know this
But sometimes it's harder to see 
When I have nothing
But you
Something I cannot see
'Cause you've given me eyes perfectly
But they keep me
From seeing what I need
And that's you
And that's you
And that's you God
You've given me these eyes
That blind me from you
So many so many distractions in front of you
I know priorities need to be
In a perfect order for me to to know
It's you moving me
You moving me further
You moving
You moving me home

Things aren't so simple anymore
God I'm asking for just a little bit of guidance here
'Cause I cannot hear your voice and I know it's there
I know it's quiet sometimes
I need to hear you now God
In desperation
How these little steps that don't seem so significant right now
But they are
Because you've given me this time on earth
I will use it wisely
I've seen to many people, too many wasting their days
I refuse to be another, another

Let me be intentional God
Let me be intentional
With my actions
With my words
With my movements
With everything you have blessed upon me God
Intentional movements daily, daily

In times of brokenness
I seek you more
Why is that God
I want to be consistent
but In times of brokenness
I seek you more
Why is that God
I want to be consistent
with you

I only want a persistence that grows
That goes up hill
I only want a persistence that grows
That goes up hill
We're climbing
To goals, to places
I never thought I could reach but with you it's so easy

Places and dreams and things and
Places and dreams and things and
You give me
Places and dreams and things and
Places and dreams and things and
You give me

I'm holding on to vision still
I'm holding on to vision still
I'm holding on to vision still
I'm holding on to vision still
I see the rainbow
Its not so far anymore from me

Promises Promises
Are nothing compared to your presence
Promises Promises
Are nothing compared to your presence, God

You come like no other
I don't know love like this
I don't know love like this
I don't know love like this God

You are so good to me
You are so good
You are so good to me
You are so good

When I don't deserve it, you still come
I don't deserve it, you still come in fullness
I don't deserve it but you come
And bring joy and peace and promises
Joy and peace and promises
Joy and peace and promises
I dont deserve
I dont deserve
But I know you're the on'y one who can help me in this moment
You're the only one who can help me in this moment
Desperation

You are the only one
So I'll take amoment, I'll take a week, I'll take days
Life times with you
I just want to dance, I just want to to sing, I just want to sing with you

You are hope
You are hope
You are hope
You are hope
You are hope

You made me so versatile  
I want so many things in this life
But I don't want to love them more than you God
I want to be with you everyday
With you is love
It is love
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me love
Restore what's gone again

The world is so harsh 
The world is so harsh to my soul
It needs restoration, renewal
I will bless your name in the processes
That you give me to change me and how I see you
Because right now I don't think you could be anymore beautiful God
So thank you
Thank you
Thank you
For who you are to me and what you've done
But most importantly
What you're doing God



You Are Hope

Hey, I don't know if this is the right time
I've gotta ask you something, it's been on my mind
A long time
You've been gone a long time (ago)

I told you about a love that you used to know
I see you're running of seeds to sew
How low will you go before falling?

Don't mark this as the last time
That I find myself running after you
I'm running after you

Hey, I don't know if this is the right time
I've gotta ask you something, it's been on my mind
A long time
I've been gone  long time (ago)

You told me about a love that I used to know
You see I'm running of seeds to sew
How low will you go before calling?

Don't mark this as the last time
That I find myself running back to you
I'm running back to you

Back To You

When all is silent, I can hear you speak
When all is still, I can see you move in me

You are forever faithful, forever faith-full of love
I'm full of your love
You come

Silent

The Sky He Breathes In

Started writing this today :x

Stay strong for the unmarked faces
the unmarked spaces
the young heart that races
for the beauty of it all

it's all not what it seems
scars speak deeper
we're marked one way or another

stay strong for the young marked faces
the young spaces
the young heart that races
for the beauty of it all
and that's all

and it's not what it seems
it's not what it seems
love speaks deeper
in one way or another/than any other

from one heart to another
from one heart to yours
from my heart to yours

stay stay strong

Unmarked

A variety of free-verse, spontaneous lyric originals and some more organized tunes.
