Sparkle, Shine, Oh Star of Mine

Sparkle, shine, oh star of Mine
Steadily light the way
A star in the night is the promise of light
The certainty of a new day

Steady on, celestial one
Let anointed trumpets blow
Hear, oh ears, the resounding of years
Let all the people know

There is hope in the darkness
There is rest in the breeze
There is peace in the comfort of home
There is truth in the speaking
And silence in ease
But My light shall carry you on

Whether traipsing through sand
Or rocky, hard ground
And in walking on water, too
There is something surer than what you have found
Much deeper than what you can do

Reality's strong under illusory earth
What you see is not really what is
But close tight your eyes and see with your heart
A Truth that just cannot be missed

There is peace in the battle 
There's rest in the storm
I've comforted, "Peace, be still!" 
Take your eyes off the water
The swirling harsh swarm
I'm still sleeping, so all is well.

Sparkle and shine, oh steady on light
Forget not where you are from
When you are surrounded by cold, endless night
You're really surrounded by Love

And as you receive it and as you believe it
You shine all the brighter still
So that others can see and then come to be
Shining stars themselves. 

As you've heard my Word, so you shall be heard
Sending my Promise on forth
A strong steady light in others' long nights
So be with me, just stay the course. 

Sparkle, shine, oh star of Mine
You give me great delight
For you are what I saw before time
And I've placed you here, tonight.

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...
