Treasures in the heart

I couldn't sleep last night...
Cause' I had you on my mind
Meditating on your might
Amazed by Your mercy
Your grace so sweet
After it all...how is it for me?
You are so holy
But I am just me
Apart from you I lack all good things
You say Your grace is sufficient for me
I believe it more each day
I always need Your grace in a new way
God who am I to say
"It's my way"
When the next breath I breathe
Is a gift from thee?
Pour out my pride till' I'm empty
Till' every song I sing
Every word I speak
Is Your words through me
I'm just a clay jar
With treasures in the heart
Somehow I can be...

Righteous


But apart from You I'm just clay with no potter
You mold me
Shape me
Cleanse me
With Your living water
Bring me through the fire even if it burns
You know better than I so I try to learn
To trust you through it all
And you know what I saw?
You never left me alone
Your sweet mercy is shown
In my life O Lord
You use the small
The ones who fall
And get back up cause' it's you they call
They know you're all they have
When all falls You stand
So fan the flame
You've sparked in my heart
May the flames run wild and free
Until it's you they see...not me
To God be the glory!
May this be my testimony...


"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
...All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."
2 Corinthians 4:7-9 & 15

When the music's gone

What happens...
When the music's gone?
No more words to follow
No more song
No more composing or routine
To usher you into my presence
Just you and me
Is your worship wrapped into something so small?
Or will you worship even when you call
And you feel as though your voice bounces off a wall?
If you understood how my loves carries you
You would
If you heard me instead of the noise
You wouldn't pursue music
Just my voice
My desire is for you to hear ME
To feel me
To know who I am
I am the I am
The only one who can
If you understood what takes place
When you open your mouth and taste
O taste and see me
Learn how heavenly
Your worship is to me
How I treasure you
I'm waiting to wash you
To take you and to mold you
I already bought you
I carried your pain
It will all be okay
I see no stain on you!
So why are you carrying the burden you do?
I'm eager to free you

stop

be still

and know who I am

I'm deeper than a feeling
More faithful than the sun
More vibrant than a rainbow
Sweeter than words could express
Nothing can defeat
Nor compete
Nor compare to "him"
I am more than just "him"
I am more than that "big man upstairs"
I'm that still small voice in the air
The one that warns and cares
The one that stills the seas
And orchestrates and leads
I am in all and through all and for all

be still
know me
taste me
stop and see

How in heaven I intercede
I've opened the door
Defeated death
It is no more!

Be
free

Lift up your heart and worship me...

Know in your heart these things
So you may know why you sing
The music itself has no meaning
I won't tolerate empty songs
So you must learn what to do
When the music's gone...
