broken for You

calling out Your name

won't You come near to me?

i've been missing those times we've had

so give me that passion again

mend a heart of clay

that You can mold into

into a heart that's pure

broken for You

come and kiss me once again

for Your love is better than wine

in the secret place i cry out for You

for i am weak but You are strong

so let me see Your face o God

because with one glance of Your eye

my heart is broken

broken for You

though i sleep but my heart is awake

it's the voice of the One that I love

He's crying won't you open to me

My love, My perfect one

drink deep

"then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. on each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. no longer will there be any curse. the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. there will be no more night. they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. and they will reign for ever and ever."

--revelation 22:1-5

in His presence

i love how sometimes when you're spending time with the Lord, time doesn't seem to go by so fast. because i'm enjoying every hour, minute, second. Jesus, You are so sweet...so sweet to me. Thank You.

now for some words from misty. she speaks from the heart.

I'm in love with a Man I'm in love with a Stranger
I'm in love with my Maker whom I have never seen
I'm in love with the Lamb I'm in love with the Lion
I'm in love with my Savior whom I have yet to know

O won't You let me love You more, this is all that I desire
Won't You let me love You more this is all that I require
Won't You let me love You more this is my deepest heart's desire
Won't You let me love You more still more and more

You could give to me the gift of walking on water
Maybe I will raise the dead
I have one life to live all I have to give to You is love
I have one life to live all I have to give to You is love

If I never walk on water if I never see the miracles
If I never hear your voice so loud
Just knowing that You love me is enough to keep me here
Just hearing those words is enough is enough to satisfy
You do You do You satisfy I couldn't leave even if I tried
I must have You I must have You

When it's been said and when it's all been done
When the race is run it all comes to love

born again

Today I found myself
After searching all these years
And the man that I saw, he wasn't at all who I thought he'd be
I was lost when you found me here
And I was broken beyond repair
Then you came along and you sang your song over me

It feels like I'm born again
It feels like I'm living
For the very first time
For the very first time
In my life

Make a promise to me now
Reassure my heart somehow
That the love that I feel is so much more real than anything
I've a feeling in my soul
And I pray that I'm not wrong
That the life I have now, it is only the beginning

It feels like I'm born again
It feels like I'm living
For the very first time
For the very first time
It feels like I'm breathing
It feels like I'm moving
For the very first time
For the very first time

I wasn't looking for something that was more
Than what I had yesterday
Then you came to me and you gave to me
Life and a love that I've never known
That I've never felt before

It feels like I'm born again
It feels like I'm living
For the very first time
I'm living for the first time
It feels like I'm breathing
It feels like I'm moving
For the very first time
I'm living for the first time
In my life

this is my father's world

This is my Father's world and to my listening ears
All nature sings and round me rings the music of the spheres

This is my Father's world I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees of skies and seas His hand the wonders wrought

This is my Father's world O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong God is the ruler yet

This is my Father's world oh the battle is not done
Jesus Who died will be satisfied And earth and Heav'n will be one

Yes Jesus who died will be satisfied
and earth and heaven
Oh earth and heaven
oh earth and heaven
will be one

one day...

love ftw

Lord, only You sustain me.

i was made for love

the spirit of the sovereign LORD is on me,

because the LORD has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor

and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion--

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness

instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair.

they will be called oaks of righteousness,

a planting of the LORD

for the display of his splendor.

--isaiah 61:1-3
