Your Ways (Praise Flow)

Yahweh, You are like chocolate after a long fast
Joy after such an endless time of being sad
But I have seen what it's like
To have windows after living in the dark
And now I see the light
I am and You are

Expansion after being confined
Sanity after losing my mind
Freedom after being locked away in the dark
Faith after living in fear
After loneliness, You are here
And now we are one.

Vision after being so blind
No longer worrying all of the time
Stepping into new territories
Knowing You are near
And now I can be me
At peace with all I see
Knowing You've taken it all and made it redeemed

Flowing in purpose, not hiding in pain
Knowing You're worth it, I'd do it again
Your promises sure and always sustained
I am because You are

The biggest blessing I've ever known
Being able to relate to You as a son
Though You're so much bigger than I can perceive
You've come in order to relate to me
And I know that You love me
And I know You are here
And I never have to doubt again
Or push away Your hand

Life so beautiful, even more so
For knowing now what I never thought I could know
Seeing in person what started by faith
No wonder You made the world work this way!
You're absolutely brilliant and all that you know
I must simply trust until you choose to show
What You have done is so infinitely grand
In every moment You have a hand
Even though sometimes I don't understand
I trust You to be God and I'll be human
Because through that trust when I finally see
It's more beautiful than I thought that it could be
But that beauty's something You knew all along
While I was still fighting not to be wrong
Thank You for doing what You've always done
For creating such beauty, for making us One
I love how Your world works, Your process, Your law
And I will keep walking in it; I won't stop
Sustained by my faith until my eyes can see
Anchored in You, I can live and just be.

Life or Death?

Give it away! It’s not really yours! Toss it out, it is destined to die. Unless you release this, you’ll never have more. Cling to it, and you too will die. For nothing is lost that isn’t already perishing Yahweh gives all that endures. But you can’t take what lasts if you cling to what’s leaving Eventually, you have to choose. So give up what is nothing To gain what’s forever Don’t lose your soul To gain a dying world! For what Yahweh has for you Is a true treasure Eternity, Himself The Word. He planned things for you long before creation What He’s had for you has always been yours Receive it, embrace it with jubilation Walk in fulfillment purposed. So that is the choice take it AND leave it For you can’t have both at a time. Reality or illusion? Truth or deceivement? The choice is entirely yours.

Fears

Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by enemies, dancing all around me Screaming Shouting into my head, into my heart In the mornings before school, And at night before bed When I can't stop thinking, can't stop thinking of all the mistakes I could make tomorrow, Remembering all the mistakes I made today, and yesterday, and the day before that one The times I screamed at kids, failed to motivate them, The times I didn't teach them anything or made them feel stupid And the enemy screams and shouts and pounds his drums In a frenzy And all I can hear is how awful I am And how I should quit and stop and leave and go And it's hard to hear the still, small, quiet voice of truth in my head, In my heart, Telling me what I've known all along, but forgot Forgot, forgot, forgot In the frenzy and pounding and screaming of the fears That tell me that I don't deserve to be here And what difference do I make anyway? But He just spoke to me yesterday, tol...

Weeping For Jerusalem

One time, Yahshua stood on a hill Overlooking the city He walked in, Lived in, worked in, played in, and He saw it And all of the people in it, those who did not know, And He was weeping, weeping for Jerusalem. Today, I stood in my classroom, The classroom I've taught in Worked in, played in, and I saw it, All of the people, who did not know And I felt like weeping, weeping for Jerusalem. There is a girl who thinks she is special Only when there is a boy to tell her so, A boy who thinks he's unworthy, Because no one has time for him, A girl who thinks it's her job To take care of her family--even though she's only twelve. And one girl has never even known what it's like To be safe and loved and warm in the night To her, what does it even look like to be free? She's never seen, she does not know. So I am weeping, weeping for Jerusalem Waiting, waiting for full redemption And as the bride I say, "Come!" Oh, Yahweh come! Come and...
