Father
I am humbled by Your Love
Poured out for me
You shed Your blood
On the cross
That I might walk free
Forever
Found in You

Yours

The world awaits you,

Eagerly expectant

For what you have to offer.

Don't hold out on it,

Give it everything 

You've been given

And more.

Heart and eyes

Wide open,

The future is yours

Make it worth the wait.

Calvary

Your body strung out

Bruised and broken

Beyond human repair.

Some saw and wept

Unable to save their saviour,

Some saw and scoffed

The victory was theirs 

As you hung on the cross.

Man's darkest hour

Made possible

Through the evil

In our own hands.

What we called weak

God proclaimed glorious,

No greater love

Has man ever known. 

To life you rose

Death's sting

Was dealt it's final blow.

Your body lay in it's tomb

No more than three days.

Some saw and believed

Your scarred body

A reminder of the life

You gave for us.

Father,

Open our eyes

To your wondrous Love.

Moving Mountains

My faith falters

As I fix my eyes

On the war

That wages all around.

My prayers 

Turn to silence

As I struggle

Under these burdens.

My heart is troubled

At the mere thought

Of the dark valleys

That lie in wait.

This is when

My world crumbles.

But in all this

Your Word remains

The Light

Piercing the darkness.

So I believe.

My faith is made strong

When I fight doubt

To fix my gaze

Only on You.

My prayers

Become flaming arrows

For this battle

Is not of this world.

My heart is at rest

For I know

Your hand is in mine

As I walk through the valley.

This is when

I can move mountains.

Safe

There is no safer place to be,

Than in Your arms

Of love.

Jesus

The answer

To life's

 Every high

And every low.

Scars

I struggle to imagine
The hell
That you 
Have lived through.

You've fought battles
Not your own
Walked the line
Between good and evil.

Glimpsed faces,
Scarred
With the hatred
That dwells within man
When only he
Allows it room
To fester and grow
Into something evil
Uncontrollable
Ferocious and ugly.

You wake up
Hoping, praying
It was all just
Another nightmare.
Truth is,
This is
Your reality.
