Savior are You

Savior are You
Raining down Your grace upon the land
Healing hearts
Refreshing minds
Taking over
Restoring life once again.

Your love surpasses everything anyone can comprehend
Mercy given for free
A chance to live life in faith
Make clear what people can’t see
If only they would look at You.

Changing people
Shifting the world
Look at all You do
How can anything else compare?
The world is lost, broken and alone
People struggle to find their way
They look right past the truth
They look right past You.
Look right past all You can do.
Scared and unsure of the Absolute Truth.
They look right past you.

Hear my prayer, O Lord of my heart
Change me and my ways
Use me as I follow after You all of my days.
I lift up my hands in worship now.
Hear my songs of praise
Renew my mind and my ways
Let me to always feel Your grace.
I want to help You heal this land.
Let me help You heal this land.

Your love surpasses everything anyone can comprehend
Mercy given for free
A chance to live life in faith
Make clear what people can’t see
If only they would look at You.

Like the Wind

Like the wind
Sweep away my cares again
Swiftly blowing away from me.
On the back of my neck, in the midst of my face,
Lord no matter where I go, You find me in that place
Caught up in the rain, streaking down, my worries that surround
You call to me and become the wind beneath my wings
Leading me to fly once more.

Chorus:
Only with You can I fly
Only with You can I soar
Only with You can I be satisfied
And only You can open the door
Giving me all the joy in my life
Only with You, Only with You, Lord

Like the wind
Speak to my heart again
Swiftly blowing You to me
In between my fingers, underneath my hair
Lord, no matter where, I know I can find You there
Caring for me, looking down, being the love that surrounds
I call to You and become the servant at Your feet
Praising You once more

Chorus

Like the wind
Speak to my heart again
Swiftly blowing You to me
In between my fingers, underneath my hair
Lord, no matter where, I know I can find You there
Caring for me, looking down, being the love that surrounds
I call to You and become the servant at Your feet
Praising You once more

Why

Crawling on the ground
Looking down, so far from where I should be
I know how bad the dirt tastes
But still something entices me
Why, oh why, do I choose to fall
When instead, I could be flying free?

All around I see the pain
The scent of blood on their hands
The cackling laughter in the background
A world of heartbreak that surrounds
A world of pain
They don’t know why they’re here
Don’t know what they’re in for
Searching for an empty love
To fulfill an unsatisfied desire

So why am I coming back here?
Even when you fill me with words from Your heart?
Why do I choose this hollow place
Instead of the endless touch of Your grace?
Why do I find myself creeping back here
When I know You await?

Oh Lord, I’ve fallen and I need You to pick me up
My eyes are blurry, please make them clear
My heart is deceptive, take it from me now
I can’t do it on my own
Carry me with your grace and
Help me to remember a better place awaits.
A better place awaits.

More of You

  • Out of this world, far away from this place
    beyond anything I ever thought mattered
    you’ve opened my eyes and my heart
    allowed me to see the fire that burns deep within
  • Chorus
    Lord I tremble with your spirit
    It’s not like anything I ever dreamed
    You keep me falling, crawling back to you
    it’s consuming me, your passion like no other
    like nothing I ever experienced before
    I will never be satisfied, for I only want more
    more of You
  • Awaken my heart to the sufferings of my savior
    let me take up my cross like no other
    enable me to find the glory of my Father
    I need to open my eyes to what surrounds me
    allow me to grasp your holy spirit
    to be lifted up like never before
    Lord, I ask that you let me see Your face
  • Chorus
  • First stanza

What's the title mean?

Lyrique de Dieu-Lyrics of God. I wanted something simple yet powerful, and the French language seemed the best to captivate what this site will be. I've written song lyrics for a few years now, and it's totally been God writing through me. God's been calling me to share them in some way or form, to allow it to flow as He wishes. I'm not quite exactly sure what that is yet, but hopefully He'll move through this. I hope God can bless you through the lyrics as He's blessed me as I've written them. Feel free to comment on any of them.
