Song

New and refreshing
A song that allows new hope to flow
Bellowing a chance for something different
Fluttering melodies that entice the heart to dream
Lively rhythms echo a reason to try again
Something so simple to remove the complexities
A song that determines the mind of what is good
Freedom to be the artist inside
Drafting, designing, displaying intricate words into a picture to be seen by every imagination
Willingness to let go, stop listening, stop trying and just be me
Forgetting what lies behind and reaching for what lies ahead
Truth in every person
Beauty that lies within
Sweeping harmonies breathe depth and clarity into the telling
Drifting away in fascinations
Realization

On my knees
Broken
Completely broken before You

My world
In crisis
Devastation I present to You

I can’t even think

What I once knew
Is now gone

Who am I, Lord
Who am I in your eyes

I am Your baby

Oh, how I love
my precious, beautiful babies
Oh, My creator
How you must love me

Cradle me
hold me close
and tight

Take my world
And hold it in your hand
Breathe your mercy
Upon us

I have lived my life
Depending on someone else
And it has failed
Totally failed

I cannot fathom
How you will heal
My heart, my pain
My grief, my despair

How will this be a blessing?
How can this become good?

Mercy, Mercy, I cry for your tender mercy

My children sense there is pain
they see
and they feel it

What will they think
of me
Who will they see
In me
Don’t let their trust be shattered

They will know your mercy
They will see your power
They will feel your grace

You are all we have.
I am certain
All we need is You.
You will take us
In Your care

In need
We will trust in You
And you will
Breathe
