Let it be Me

I dream

I dream of a lover by my side
Seashore dreams, starlight kisses
Children climbing, fighting for their Dad’s attention
I dream of a land not yet determined
Faces of joy, even in the midst of perseverance
Father to the fatherless, respecter of women
Men intrigued with integrity
I dream of hearts abandoned to true love
Passion for a king, a friend, healer, redeemer of all things
I dream of reckless abandonment worship
Free to be whom he created
Dancing over the brokenhearted
Trampling over the backs of the deceiver
In the core a worthy lamb, roaring freedom in all hearts
I dream of the earth transformed, Darkness made light
Valley’s lowered, crooked ways made straight
Rough places made smooth
I dream of a lover running for the embrace
Engaged with a glance
Pursued with a heart qualified by the redeemer
I dream of you

Where are you Lord?

I fought and I fought to ask where you are
I lost and I lost the sensing feel that you are always near
Then I cried and I cried for your mercy to overwhelm
Then I died and I died for the longing was unbearable
So you whispered and you whispered a soft spoken voice
The calming stream of your name.

Risk

Risk I never knew you
For if I had I would have pursued you
Lifesaver strapped, wadding in 2 foot danger
Safety in numbers, I waited for splashes in anger
Not really risking at all
Stuck in this pensive song
Refine, define, and muse me into your splendor
Heart strung in resounding melody
I jump to meet my destiny
You were waiting there
Landing will be my testimony
