As of late...

Lyrics/poems I've written in the past couple of weeks

To My Sister
In the emptiness that lays within my room
A side vacant, one left behind
The silence that remains
The silence so different than before
Memories come of my sister
The blessings You have poured forth through her, O Lord
Her gentleness and carefree nature
The laughter that rings so true through her smile
Her heart of gold that has touched more than she knows
I praise You for my Sister in You, O Lord
The one who has been so good to me
For Your deliberateness in bringing us together
In quietness we both seek
I pray to You for my sister, O Lord
That You will open her eyes to Your passionate pursuit
Enraptured in Your love will she become
While always remaining genuine and true
I pray to You for my sister, O Lord
That You will bless her beyond her dreams
In the same way You have with her for me
That in earnestness, all of her days, You she will seek
In the emptiness that lays within my room
A side vacant, one gone forth
The love that lingers
The love so different than others
Memories come of my sister
The blessings You have poured forth through her, O Lord.

Look
Lord, I look to my feet and see the way You lead me
Lord, I look to my legs and see the way You make me walk
Lord, I look to my hips and see the way You make me turn
Lord, I look to my arms and see the way You make me stretch
Lord, I look to my hands and see the way You make me serve
Lord, I look to my head and see the way You make me think
Lord, I look to my eyes and see the way You make me look
Lord, I look to my body and see a life laid down, crucified
Lord, I look to my heart and see a love beating, resonating
Lord, I look to my life and see You set apart in me
Lord, I look to You and see myself complete
Be everything to me
Be everything for me
Be everything in me
Created in Your likeness let me be.
It’s You I see
It’s You I seek
Let no fears remain.

Break the Silence Now
Here in the quiet of Your presence
A mere glimpse of who You are
I’ve stilled my soul
Found You, my Lord
Found something more
Something worth living for
In this life I find
I fall to the floor

Visions they come
Promises I see
Of the faithful One
Whom I seek
So much in store
Yet I ask You, Lord

Chorus
Break the silence now
Come and speak of the things I see
Of what is to become of me
Break the silence now
I cry out desperately
Want Your everything
No matter what the price be
Break the silence now
Come and speak to me

Revelations they come
People I see
Far from the faithful One
Whom I seek
So many cast away
Your people have strayed
I ask You, Lord

Chorus
