He is the One

He is the one who turns
darkness to light.
Sorrow to joy
Sickness to healing
Ashes to beauty
Mourning into dancing
Ends into new beginnings
Futility to hope
Death to Life
Captivity to Freedom
He is my everything
The reason why I live and move and have my being.
Without Him I cannot breathe
I cease to be anything of worth
All I am is in Him.

In the Silence of the Night

In the silence of the night
When all else fades
I find myself standing here
Alone with you
In the darkness of the night
When others sleep
I stand before you broken
Make me new

We live our lives
As cracked and broken pots
That need to be placed
Back into the potters hands
We stumble, we fall
When we walk alone
The dreams of gold
Turn to dust in my hands
I need your touch
I need your love
Come oh lord
Come make me whole

In the silence of the night
When I can't find a way
I find myself standing here
reaching out to you
In the darkness of the night
When tears fall
I stand before you broken
Make me whole

We live our lives
As cracked and broken pots
That need to be placed
Back into the potters hands
We stumble, we fall
When we walk alone
The dreams of gold
Turn to dust in my hands
I need your touch
I need your love
Come oh Lord
Come make me whole

In the silence of the night
In my brokeness
I find myself standing here
Alone with you
In the darkness of the night
Come be my light
I stand before you broken
Restore my soul

We live our lives
As cracked and broken pots
That need to be placed
Back into the potters hands
We stumble, we fall
When we walk alone
The dreams of gold
Turn to dust in my hands
I need your touch
I need your love
Come oh Lord
Come make me whole

Air to breathe



When it all presses in
Above and beneath
When I'm pressed
Behind and before
Give me air to breathe
Take off the weight
Shake off the rocks
Lift of this heavy load
Give me understanding
Where mine has failed
Give me wings
To fly on the heights again.

Surround me with love
Above and beneath
Surround me with love
Behind and before
Give me air to breathe
Take of the weight
Shake off the hurt
Lift this heavy load
Give me understanding
Where mine has failed
Give me wings
To soar on the heights again.

To Breathe Again

Storm tossed wind blown
I've finally landed at the shore
The Dawn has come
The morning sun
Warm upon my face
I lift my head and breathe again
So glad the battle's done.

I look to the horizon
To the source of my hope
A new day dawns
A song of joy
Rises in my heart
I lift my head and breathe again
For I am reborn.

Peace like a river
Washes away the fear
Darkness turned to light
Wings out stretched
Once more to soar
I lift my head and breathe again
For I am in your sight.

One day - Song of Hope

One day I will dance with you daughter
I will hold you in my arms
We will turn and spin across the room
Free like birds in flight
I have waited so long to see your face
But it will happen one day soon
I believe in you, I wait for you
Your arrival at perfect time
While I wait I pray for you however long it takes
I've heard your name
I've glimpsed your heart
I will one day look into your face

One day I will walk with you son
Through fields and trees so green
We will laugh and talk, smile and play
Cast all our cares away
I have waited so long to see your face
But it will happen one day soon
I believe in you, I wait for you
Your arrival at perfect time
While I wait I pray for you however long it takes
I've heard your name
I've glimpsed your heart
I will one day look into your face

So this day I will dance with you lord
And trust in all that's to come
I will walk with you lord
I do not have to wait to look into your face
It will happen one day soon
By your love, by your grace
While I wait I sing to you
My face lifted to the son
You've called my name
You love my heart
How I know you in this place

So I reach to the skies gaze all about
With hope and joy in my heart
Never forgotten, never forsaken
Can look into your face
It will happen one day soon
By your love, by your grace
While I wait I sing to you
My face lifted to the son
You've called my name
You love my heart
How I know you in this place

Running After Emotions

Running after emotions
Is a fools game to play
We think we see the answers
To mend our hurting souls
But we end up more broken
Feeling more alone
I forgot the truth and I lost my way
The very one who could help
Was standing with arms wide open
Right there in front of me
I turned and looked the other way
So I'm more broken than before
Crying out for Him to rescue me
Please come Lord carry me
I've been such a fool
To doubt your true love
Now I'm lying on the floor
Come pick me up out of my mess
Turn my ugliness to beauty
Please sort all the rest
Right now I can't carry on
So can you help me
Dust of the ashes and rise up again.

I love you my child my beautiful one
I see through the tears
The heartache and pain
I will pour in my love and healing rain
Know I see you as you really are
Standing tall and strong
In the midst of a storm
You have made mistakes
But my love covers it all
Healing will come and a new Dawn
Know that I hold all you need
Lift up your burdens and let them go
Trust me with all that you are
You are precious my beautiful one
So run after me with each new day
And I will run to you and with you
Each and every step of the way.
So let it go on the surge of the tide
Lift up your head no more to hide.

I'm Dancing

I'm dancing I'm dancing
Cause I don't know
What else to do
I'm dancing I'm dancing
Cause I'm feeling blue

I look to the right
I look to the left
I look behind
I look before
I look below
I look above
Got no answers
But I have some moves

I'm dancing I'm dancing
Cause I don't know
What else to do
I'm dancing I'm dancing
Cause I'm looking to you

I want to shout
I want to cry
I want to scream
I want to run
I want to stop
I want a new start
Got no answers
But I have some moves

I'm dancing I'm dancing
Cause I don't know
What else to do
I'm dancing I'm dancing
Cause Lord I want you

I wait for sunrise
I wait for some hope
I wait for healing
I wait for heart made new
I wait for comfort
I wait for strength
Got no answers
But I have some moves

I'm dancing I'm dancing
Cause I don't know
What else to do
I'm dancing I'm dancing
Cause Lord I'm waiting for you
