Home

Lights shine from the windows of an empty house
And this is more than I had before
But there is more that I'm waiting for
A home Yahweh has for me in store. 

Home is where a Father is
Protecting and loving all His kids
Reigning over those who're His
Keeping safe and inviting in

Home is where the Father loves
Where He says, "You are enough."
Where you are secure in enormous hugs
Sheltered and covered around and above.

Something I've never had before
And oh how my heart has longed for more
Yet when I enter my front door
A dog awaits and nothing more.

Where is my Father, my home to be?
Where can I rest and learn to see?
Where can I feel safe, secure, and free?
Why is no home reserved for me?

But Yahweh has greater than I've ever known
He waited to give me a home that's His own
More glorious than houses or palatial thrones
Yahweh made me His son and through me He shone.

For what I don't have is nothing I have lost
For Yahweh sat down and He counted the cost
Gave His own Son so that I could be bought
Securing my place in the lineage He wrought.

For I have a Father and this is my home
Secure in His arms, a son all His own
And when I feel lonely, I just have to know
My Father is love and I'm never alone.

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...
