Where would I go

Where would I go
your people are my people

your dreams are my dreams
not mine to hold

it's you I seek, looking to unfold
I delight in your desires

where would I go
I have nothing but my beautiful

I let go so you would know
If I love you would I not pursue you

teach me to love your family
orphaned, no place to go

Even if all that was left was to glean
the residue would be heart changing

Where would I go

Eyes of a lover

What do you see as the eyes of a lover
what do you long for, just you and I
would they question your motivates
what's in a man's heart
Could there really be everlasting closeness

more than my emotions I trust it's just Faith
knowing you are who you are
would my weakness be my strength
wanting to hold you
drawing near through the end
if my circumstances unfolded
would my accuser disclose it

Your mercy and grace has defined me
A binding notch unable to discord
holding onto the strength of my defeat
you forever will be grounded, fastened to the root
you only are worthy as my enemies trampled under foot

How Could I not be moved

How could I not be moved
How can I not be changed

I want it to be more then fictitious, emotional, self consumed experience
I want the pressing of your heart, the flooding of your spirit

How could I not be moved
How can I not be changed

Hold me close: anchorage, leverage, purchased, foothold, embrace, hug
My majesty: magnificent, dignity, greatness, splendor, lord

How could I not be moved
How can I not be changed

Which side of eternity…

Today I received some disturbing news about a co-worker. This year marks 7 years at my recent job, 5 years since I gave Lordship to Jesus.

There has been some tough processing relationships with old friends, where I am heading, and most importantly obedience in staying here.

With that to say, recently a co-worker who was in the same training class as me passed away. Besides immediate family, he leaves a wife and 1 year old son.

I have emotionally battled with how this plays out to not only his family, but the people I work with. If judgment fell today, where would we go?

I look to our father. I write this song as I am burdened by the thought he could spend eternity without knowing Jesus. But my hope is that he submitted his heart and Life prior to passing away.

“I need your freshness to cover over me
I long for your goodness to set me free
How do I become uninhibited by my selfishness
How do I become to realize it’s because of you

It’s unattainable, not duplicated, finished at the cross
Ineffectual, futile to the mind
That your love is free…holding on to me

I rest my heart close to where you stand
Believing that you would adopt me in your hands
If judgment fell today, where would you and I be
Contemplating which side of eternity”

Nostalgia I rebuke you…

The yearning of past affection
The lie that things were better when
The old song that strike a chord of misplaced memories
Lost loves are not a lost at all
The things that fade away, replaced with love everlasting
The comfort of my four walls
Pride, control, idolatry and murdering emotions
Nostalgia I rebuke you
Your arrows flight shielded by my faith
It is not better there. My place is here
Under the wings of my King
Shadowed by his grace and Love
Slave once to my desires I have given
Now a son, friend, orphaned where I live in
