I tried to run, I tried to hide,
From mercy deep and love so wide.
I traced the stars, I searched the sea,
But still, Your grace kept calling me.
I longed for truth, I longed for light,
Yet stumbled blindly through the night.
But every road led back to You,
The only hope, the only Truth.
Take me back to where I began,
Kneeling down with empty hands.
No more questions, no more pride,
Just in Your love I abide.
You bore the weight I couldn’t bear,
You took the cross, You met me there.
And though I broke, though I failed,
Your love endured, Your love prevailed.
Now grace restores what sin had lost,
My life purchased with blood at the cross.
No need for answers, no need to fear,
Your love is constant, always near.
To The God who loves me wherever I roam,
Who has a set place, made a home.
Within his divine, forever embrace,
To one day gaze upon your holy face
Oh, Jesus, Savior, lift my eyes,
To see my home beyond the skies.
I see it clearly now! I know it’s true!
I was made to run to You!

For I am the Lord, like me there is no other
Aside from me there is no shelter, nor cover
False idols and gods shatter beneath my word
So hear my call, and walk away from the herd
For to the cliffs, these sheep of the earth run
In search of their own pleasure and fun
And they know not this fact to be true
That no one, but me is coming to save you
No ruler, no king that comes from any land
Is a match for the wonders, I do with my hands
They trust in their machines, and their tools
But compared to me, they are but mere fools
Where were they, when the foundation was laid
For the earth and all of the glory I’ve made
They were unformed, unmade, merely a thought
The tiniest of pieces in this great plan I’ve plot
They built their tower, trying to touch my might
But nothing they create, no matter the height
Will ever come within my glory, within my sight
For you to ever experience heavens light
You must surrender your will, give up the fight
In my Son alone, you are rescued from the night
Conrad Larson Feb 11
In the quiet dawn of hopeful day,
I choose the path where truth will stay.
To live as Christ has shown the way,
In every breath and light of day.
I seek the truth that sets hearts free,
A beacon in life's black sea.
Though it may cost my all, my goals,
His word will make my spirit whole.
I long to feel love, pure and divine,
A light in each moment does shine.
Through trails fierce and great pain,
In His embrace, true strength I gain.
The cost is steep, it takes my heart,
Every ounce of me must play its part.
Yet every sacrifice yields grace,
A richer love no wealth can replace.
So step by step, with faith so bright,
I walk this path from dark to light.
Though I surrender all I've known,
His eternal joy becomes my own.
Live with truth in every hour,
Let love transform with sacred power.
For in the end, though much is lost,
The gain of grace is worth the cost.

O me! O life! of these questions profound,
Of struggles and trials that circle around,
Of hearts that falter, of faith grown dim,
Of void wandering souls, forgetting Him.

Of days that vanish like smoke in the air,
Of dreams once bright, now burdened with care,
Of voices crying, yet failing to see,
The grace that calls so tenderly.

That you are here, that life is given,
A gift of mercy, a glimpse of Heaven.
The powerful play of eternity goes on,
That wondrous sonnet, that beautiful song.
And you, yes you may lift up voice,
To know the great truth, it’s only your choice.
Because the play goes on without a rehearse,
Fix your eyes on God, and to that play,
You may contribute a verse.
Conrad Larson Jan 31
At dawn’s first breath, the heavens sing,
A melody born on love’s bright wing.
No chains remain, no fear can stay,
For God has swept the night away.
Through valleys dim and peaks of gold,
His hand sustains, His arms enfold.
With love and care he stitched every seam,
Of all that I am, I praise you Elohim.
The whispering winds, the dancing sea,
All make known that he walks with me.
No lies of Satan, no plan of man,
Break me down, because he is more than.
The weight of sorrow, no shade of past,
Can bind my soul, can break the mast.
Upon the ship of mercy I sail,
To live on forever, no matter the gaels
The grave is silenced, death undone,
My heart beats wild beneath the Son.
Let me burn inside with your love like fire,
Before I take my place in the heavenly choir.
Each step I take, His light pours through,
A sky of mercy, he has painted new.
No turning back, no need to hide,
I walk in love, with Christ as guide.
So let the depths call my name,
I rise in joy, unbound, untamed.
Forever free, brought to new heights,
I shine with Him, my life, my light.

The stars may fade, the earth may sway,
The mountains crumble, and drift away.
Yet not a word shall bend or break,
For what He speaks, He will not take.

No fleeting time, no storm or sea,
Can shake the truth that sets us free.
Each promise, etched by love’s own hand,
Will stand when none but Him still stand.

The smallest stroke, the faintest line,
Still shines with wisdom, pure, divine.
Not heaven’s vast and endless height,
Nor earth’s deep shadows dim its light.

So lift your eyes, let joy arise,
For what He’s sworn will never die.
His word remains, His love is sure,
Forever strong, forever pure.

Through trials fierce and fires bright,
Through darkest days and longest nights,
His voice will call, His hand will guide,
His truth endures, our hope, our light.
Conrad Larson Jan 30
Through darkest night and raging seas,
We stand unshaken, bold and free.
No fear can break the fire inside,
For love has won, our hope, our guide.

Chains are shattered, doubt erased,
Grace has met us face to face.
Though trials rise, though storms may roar,
We march as victors evermore.

No force can steal the light we bear,
No shadow dim the songs we share.
With hearts aflame, we rise and soar,
In Christ, we’re conquerors and more.
