July 2023
When I thought I was not good enough,
When I felt I could not measure up,
You told me to lift my voice,
You told me You wanted to hear me sing,
You told me with Love
And I know there is a love
More than a friend,
There is a love,
I will find it again.
There is Love.
Shadows of heaven on earth today,
I find myself waiting to hear You say,
"Come away".
There is hope
When the prison is cold.
There is hope
When you are alone.
There is Love.
Jesus come and heal me,
Let Your Spirit fill me.
No other friend, No other love, No other hope,
But You.
Jesus, come and heal me,
Let Your Spirit fill me,
I will be satisfied in You.
You lift me up,
You make me sing.
I forget shame's sting.
You take the shackles away.
You take the blindfold away.
You take the tape off my mouth.
I feel a spring bubbling in my heart.
I feel hope in this dark.
I feel a spring in the deep that calls to deep.
All of my longing,
All of my yearning,
All of my journey is coming back to You.
All of my shattered dreams
Have landed me here in Dothan's well.
I have fallen again,
Away from my brothers,
Away from my friends,
Away from my Lover, I have fallen again.
Fallen again.
But You are here in this dark place
I can't see Your face, but I know this grace.
You bring me out of the wilderness,
Leaning on my Beloved,
Leaning on my Beloved,
Leaning on my Beloved.
You are loving me out
With a shout-
And all I can do is sing.
Because there is a joy in the suffering,
There is hope in the suffering,
There is You.
There is You.
Satisfy me with Your Love,
Words of life from heaven above,
Satisfy me with Your Love.
You have not forgotten me here in this pit,
You have not forgotten me in the wilderness.
You smiled,
You came for me.
You are for me, not against me,
Shepherd of my soul.
Lover,
And giver of the song of all songs.
You gather me in Your arms.
You shelter me from all harm.
You take me to higher places,
You love me, You don't forget.
Down on my face again,
Down on my knees,
I am surrendered,
I am at peace.
Because I may have lost the way,
I may have lost the dream,
But You restore my hope,
Restore my joy,
Restore all things.
Restore me.
It's all about You.
I hold on to You,
I hold on to Love,
You speak in various ways,
I thank God for Love
For peace,
For hope,
For You.
