BLUE SKIES

Lonely nights, so far from home,

that took you from the Cornerstone,

are coming back to bring His fire.

Sweet release is His desire.

You've longed for love, but you got pain.

The more you tried, the less you've gained,

but all the tears that you have cried

are His to take. That's why He died.

His cry for you, His sweet love song:

to bring you back where you belong.

His love is where your heart has been.

He's taken you through thick and thin.

He loves you more than you will know.

No one else could love you so.

And now it's time to run the race.

Give Him your heart. He'll set the pace.

Things you've done and things you've said,

forgiven now, so do not dread.

He'll use you in the coming days.

You'll teach His children ofHisways,

encouraging His will be done,

and, by His stripes, the battle won.

So, do not fear, there's more in store.

His purpose is what you're here for.

His tender care has made you strong.

His grace has been there all along.

Don't ever think He didn't know,

yet, from the brink, He loved you so.

Let go of things that keep you down.

Let joy begin to take that frown.

Just glorify the One Who died,

for He is bringing you blue skies.

In His love,

The Mercy Seat

There is mercy at the judgment seat of love.

There is patience as He waits for your return.

In His wildest dreams, He knew that you would turn

and He's taken steps to bring you back again.

There is mercy at the judgment seat of love.

Is it tough love when He shows you when you're wrong?

He has tried you by His fire, which is Jesus' sweet love song.

He'll keep trying 'til you realize the gain.

There is mercy at the judgment seat of love.

In His Word, He teaches why it's so hard to die.

There is mercy in this fire, but His Word just does not lie.

He'll bring Comfort and His glory through the rain.

There is mercy at the judgment seat of love.

Though your works may burn as stubble and your fortress falls apart,

He will send conviction to you so you have a brand new start.

There is mercy, though you'll never be the same.

There is mercy at the judgment seat of love.

Though you knew this time would come, you're paying now.

He will love you through this moment, bringing Comfort. It's His vow.

Through this mercy, precious flesh will now be tamed.

2 Corinthians 1:13

My letters have been straightforward, and there is nothing written

between the lines and nothing you can't understand. I hope some day you will fully understand us,

HIS JUSTICE FLOWS

Through the looking glass of life I see the windows pained

and notice everything is gone to my unholy gain

I cannot even fathom why the raindrops cannot glisten,

As the dew is forming on the night, I start to listen.

Ice cold wind, it beckons me

to follow in expectancy

and so I gaze upon the furrowed street

per chance to know the quiet path I'd meet

So crooked is the way I found,

so well in need of second round,

If only I could mumble something sane

amidst the precious wonder of this rain

For years it's been as though I am unchained in misery

Bewildered in the fight I know it took so much from me

for the rain has come and dazzled me

in perfect measure frazzled me

and I, in perfect wonder, am beseiged

I know I travelled way out of my league

Conviction in its strongest wake

has brought me down and made me quake

I seek His hand in reverence

having found His sweet benevolence

I wonder at His shaking,

at this vessel He is making

Looking up where once I failed to see His mighty power,

I find His love abounding, bursting open like a flower

Holy love has wrapped me in

His arms and called me next of kin

The heavens now rip wide apart

and blossom in my aching heart

with blessings now from undertows

that cause the flowers now to grow

I cannot understand the way it goes

for promises proclaim His justice flows

GOD IS HERE

As I look around and listen,

I can hear what people say.

They have thought their God has left them,

but He's truly here to stay.

He's longed for them to realize

He never leaves our side.

That's why His Spirit guides us and

that's why our Jesus died.

Now, just think of all that's happening

around the world and then,

see His precious Goodness,

for what could have been.

Though planes broke through that dreary day,

He never left our side.

He'll heal us soon 'cuz, it's His way.

We're still His waiting bride.

Look around and see the wonders of,

look around and see His hand.

Though America's made blunders of,

His eye still is on this land.

He will see us through disaster and

He will take us through the mire.

As long as we call Him Master, God

will see us through each fire.

Just by virtue of His precious love,

just by doing what is right,

He'll send angels to us from above,

and He'll guide us through the night.

Jesus is the Blessed Savior now.

He does not forsake His own

and His essence we can savor now

when we make His heart our home.

DAYBREAK
Eyes that long to seek the light of day

gather in the flowers, as though May.

Winter, long in coming has arrived.

It is for my soul that my heart cries.

Cold makes my bones to ache.

Lord, show me the daybreak.

Cheeks, tearstreaked etches in the midst,

seeking golden sunshine, never kissed,

call upon the flaming Son to dine.

He reaches to me, bearing cups of wine.

I know my soul He longs to take.

Lord, show me the daybreak.

Hands reaching upward to the sky.

Angels sweetly carrying the cry.

Arms pull me gently into fold.

Joyful hearts blend by threads of gold.

Peace, the order of the day.

I've seen the daybreak.

ALONE INSIDE THE DARK

I'll walk with You in the Garden,

for I'm changing from within.

The Holy Spirit has touched me

and now I walk with Him.

My heart's been lifted higher than

I ever thought it could be

because He's opened up my heart

and revealed His love for me.

I'm growing now in wisdom.

My every word and deed

are spurred by things I'm learning

through Your sweet love for me.

No longer do I search for

things that aren't there.

In me, there is no emptiness

because I know You care.

Your only Son died for me,

but even though He died,

He left for me the Comforter

to dry the tears I've cried.

He shows me now the teachings

of Matthew and of Mark.

Now I'm no longer wandering

alone inside the dark.

WHEN YOUR HEART MELTS...

He's broken down my lifeline to the worldly

and coveted my false security.

By showing me the power of His mercy,

He's divided and conquered His enemies.

False bravado doesn't sit too well with Jesus.

True expression is the only way to please.

When He calls me by my given name, my heart melts

and, once again, I'm brought down to my knees.

Give me Jesus, for He is the Great Protector,

Who stands by me, although I do fall short.

He'll guide me in His patient understanding.

I'm grateful, for my life His love has bought.

Let me cling unto His heart with fight and fervor.

Let me die for Him, if that's the only way.

Come unto me, Lord, my miracle is waiting.

Let me be with You on Independence Day.

See my Jesus waiting for us at the station

on a train that leads to Glory's Calvary.

Bought my ticket with forgiveness and repentance.

Left behind, I'd never make it in the sea.

Wave me on, for I have bought myself a future

through the love of One Who blessed me when He died.

Though He breaks me, the tears flow with good reason -

for, when your heart melts, it comes out of your eyes.

FLOWER BLOSSOM TIME

Where grows the flower I may pick

which causes life to blossom?

Who craves the moment of the morn

where angels' songs may beckon?

What feat is this that makes me long

to see the light of day

and how am I to change the course

when lips just won't convey?

I gather up the flowered hills

and keep them in my mind.

I reach out for balloons in hopes

I won't be left behind.

I cower, for I know full well

that I am not in charge.

I sigh and look out to the sea

and see the ships at large.

The answer comes in visions that

could shake the strongest tree.

I shout, for I've know all along

there is a place for me!

I have the wind and, as it blows,

it carries His love song.

Once again, I'm humbled,

for it's been there all along.

HOLY FRIENDS

Precious friends who walk with Him beyond the miles

are holy friends that never walk away

from awkward times that sadden friends who long to smile,

because they choose to walk in holy ways.

The cord that binds us to His love is holiness.

This cord will never split, will never break.

It holds together hearts that only He can bless,

hearts that choose to love and never take.

As hearts entwine in friendship, Jesus' precious love

empowers us to go beyond our strength

to justify and glorify the One above

causing holy friends to go the length.
