The Mender


The way I feel about You, my Lord,
That You would even think so much of me,
As to set me upon Your platform,
A starting place to jump into the depths of Your waters.
Your waves and breakers sweep over me,
And by morning Your lovingkindess directs,
By evening, Your song guides.
You are the Root,
With Your foundations mysteriously alive,
And solidified in the depths of the earth.
My God, You formed me there,
You watched with great pain as I grew without You,
The creation You wove distorting and dying.
You watched as others stole from me,
And mightily orchestrated the time of my rescue;
When You would rejoice in song loudly over me,
Quieting my soul, and allowing my eyes to wander,
Over my very own page in Your book of life.
I snuff out my torch now, so that my paths are dark,
For Your light is the only true Wayfinder.
I am not scared within my soul,
Because You have told me You will never leave.
Even now, Your eyes move to and fro throughout the earth,
So that You may strongly support those whose heart is completely Yours.
I will keep moving, though my feet seem inadequate for the day,
For I know that the strength of my God is perfect.
Moving forward, I listen for His call,
And search out knowledge of Him like hidden treasure.
My face is radiant with mercy, sparking as I look for His Spirit,
Never will it be put to shame.

"Come To Me"


I've had this song in me for the past couple months just yearning to get out and was finally able to express and record it tonight! I realized also...that the first two verses popped into my mind very quickly after praying one day. After trying and trying, I could not think of anything else to add for months! This past Sunday, a rainy day in Phoenix, Arizona, was the first time since then that I really remembered that this was a song my Lord was creating in me...not my own. I prayed for Him to complete it in me and what did He do? Finished it that night. Here it is: hope you like it. 


"Come To Me"


Verse 1:

I am dark, You are light,
Come and shine into the caves,
In my heart, in my mind,
You will find when You are there,
Deep within, moving sure,
I know You are here

Hands of strength, holding up,
The despairs of all the world,
To my lips, and I sip,
From a cup that's filled with,
Blood, tears and love, so
I can be free

Chorus:

Free
He is near, calling
Come now,
I'm setting you free,
You are...

Verse 2:

You are the Holy Spirit,
In me,
You're the Son, You're the One,
Who makes me believe,
You're the Father,
That we all need

Stir in us, what You will,
Let our hearts be overturned,
Til' they churn, with Your will,
Let them burn like fire does,
In the night,
And the static explodes

Chorus:

Oooh
He is near, calling
Come now,
I'm setting you free,
You are...

Bridge:

Come to Me all you,
Who are weak and burdened.
I'm setting you free,
I'm setting you free

Come to Me all you,
Who need a savior.
I'm the One,
Who breaks the chains

Come to Me and be cleansed
Oh, you are free
Come to Me
Come to Me

Verse 3:

Look to me, for your love,
I will provide for your soul,
In it's depths, and I know,
All your wants and all your needs,
Look to me, look to me,
Every single time.

Look to me, for your peace,
I will make your face a light,
In the waves, of this sea,
Radiant you'll be to Me,
Look to me, look to me,
I long for you

Chorus:

You...
I am here, calling
Come now,
I'm setting you free,
You are free
