That three days' worth of Eternity Could expand to cover all of time and space Being given to all who receive Him Who gave up those three days for us. HalleluYah!

You speak a Word that I can't see With all these things distracting me They try to veil my eyes from He Who makes the Word full and complete So I'll just keep believing You Until I find it to be true And in your promise I will rest Until the Word does manifest You speak a Word and my heart hears It calms the restless, noisy fears And I begin to realize The Word complete before my eyes With eyes now open I can see Your Word is now upholding me And so before you I won't doubt The Word I must now walk out You speak a Word and give it life You breathe Your breath and so I find Your Word is growing, live in me And by my faith, I this Word see Though it be little, still just shoots The Word, I know, has deeper roots And soon shall grow and bear much fruit It brings me closer now to You You speak a Word and this I know Everything You say is so, So I won't give up, I'll believe Though all about tries to deceive And in Your Word, I grow and...

If I have a loving family--a devoted husband, And well-behaved children Maybe a pet or two In a nice cozy house, But have not Yahweh, I have nothing. If I have a rewarding job where I make a difference, Have a future, and good benefits, A nice salary with options, And a convenient location, But have not Yahweh, I lack all. If I have all the things--a big house and car, Vacations every year, All the latests conveniences, And money to spare But have not Yahweh, I am only temporarily enjoying what can never last. Yahweh is righteousness, Yahweh is joy He is peace, love, and the light in the darkness Yahweh is everything! The first and the last, everlasting to everlasting Yahweh never fails! But where people are fickle and things disappear, this One thing remains Always there is Yahweh, the Greatest Above Anything.

How far did the Wise Men travel Over desert, mountain, sea? How much did they spend To outfit their caravans, And purchase the gifts three? How long did it take them to come? A year or two at least. To find the Child that was prophesied To be the King of Kings? These men who studied and found In books that He was to come Could they do more Than those of us Whose spirits have been awakened? Could we give up years of our lives Or everything we own Making enemies of other men To see Christ in the full? But I will lay my life down Like the wisest kings of old Like the drummer boy who gave his toy To the One who deserves all. And I will live my life For the glory of my God For He is all And more than that: Greater than words can say in a poem.

When your Father asks something of you You comply When He says "Let this go," You let it die When He asks you once again To let Him come deeper in You say "Yes and Amen" And welcome life. When your God says, "I am faithful," You believe When He says, "You are capable," You agree. When He says, "It's time to go," You stand and you know That it's time for deeper flow And say, "Watch me fly!" When your King says, "Come and worship," You enter in. When He says, "I am worth it," You simply grin For that you always knew Deep inside of you This immutable truth In day and night. When Yahweh says, "It's time," You say, "I'm ready." When He calls you out to shine You don't hesitate For His Word is what will be So now everyone can see The glory that He brings: Everlasting light.

I wake up feeling low, like I could do no right The candle's burning dimly, can't illuminate the night All mistakes and guilt swirling in my mind I just want to feel like I'm enough this time And so I ask myself What have I ever done to make you hate me so? Why do you not think I'm worth defending? Yeah, it's getting better, but sometimes I feel low Like I'm not worth the price Yahweh is spending Then I hear a voice, a whisper in my mind It says I made the choice to leave my life behind To put my faith in Yahweh and every Word He speaks And just because I do this, I become complete And the voice replies You have never done anything to make me hate you so. You're worth defending I died for you, you know I have faith in you, in all that you will be Simply because you've put your faith in Me. I don't for one second regret dying for you In you I've placed all Heaven, that you I can shine through You will be my glory, you are...
