“Thirsty”
Jesus, I’m drowning, in a sea of circumstances.
Savior, please help me, on my own don’t like my chances
Turn my heart and lift my eyes
Draw me near and hear my cries
For You are where my only hope is.
Jesus, I’m thirsty, the things of earth have left me empty
Savior, I’m longing, with Your living water fill me

In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, may we not lose sight of the truth that His glory is what we truly long for – nothing else, and nothing less will satisfy us.
I Want To See Your Glory
I want to see Your glory, Lord, open up my eyes
to Your majesty, for I realize
that [...]

Lyrics for October…
“Astonish Me With Your Majesty”
Awaken me from my slumber
Astonish me with Your majesty
Fill my heart with wonder
Oh, Spirit come and ravish me -
With love I cannot fathom
And mercy robed in mystery
You’re more than I can imagine
Open up my eyes to see
Chorus:
That nothing in this world could ever captivate my soul
And heaven’s only heaven [...]
Where Was God?

Trying to reconcile the sovereignty of God with the suffering of the world is not a light or easy endeavor. It is hard for our minds (and our hearts) to conceive that a God who is loving and good would permit such heartache in the lives of His people. When grappling with this issue, some [...]

Cry For Mercy
Go and learn what this means – it’s mercy I desire
The offerings you bring, are not what I require
I’m weary of your sacrifice
Of empty words and calloused lives
Oh, bring me no more alibis
Go and learn what this means
Come and hear what I say – you’ve been blinded by your pride
Drop the masquerade, I [...]
All I Am For Only You

This song flowed from a conversation I had with some friends a couple of weeks ago, in which we spoke of how we have a longing in our hearts for God but foolishly turn to other places to try and find satisfaction. I share these lyrics both as a confession that I am not yet who I [...]
Breathless

These lyrics came this past week as I contemplated how each day is a battle to believe God and find my joy in Him. Each day I am surrounded by other gods that tell me lies and distract me, claiming that they are the answer to my soul’s hunger. The voices are loud and persistent, [...]
Near To Me
Posted in lyrics, tagged knowing God, to live is Christ on April 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »
These lyrics came as I sat on a deck overlooking Lake Lure and reflected on who God is and on how I desire to know Him more deeply than I do.
Near To Me
Almighty God – I long for You
In this dry and barren place
My heart and flesh cry out for You
Don’t turn from me Your face
For [...]
