I can face the giant, knowing I will win,
I can face the world, baring all my sin,
For the Lord is on my side, and paid it all before,
There’s nothing that can conquer me,
He’s locked and closed that door,

I dreamed that I was given,
All I needed and more,
To go where I’ve been sent,
Out of your treasure store,

Your hands are never lacking,
When I come a-asking,
And golden straw is always there,
To make the bricks, and share.

Like a day without music,
A week without birds,
Is a day without Your Words,

Like a week without mornings,
A day without night,
Is a day lived not in Your Sight,

Like a rainbow without color,
A finger without its palm
Is a life without Your Calm

You melt me with your kisses, and wrap me in your arms,
You rock me gently, and I know I am safe from all harms,
Your Peace stands at the door, and Joy watches my heart,
You called me to dance, to teach me a step, You let me be a part

You too were sick,
You too were tired and could not get your rest
You too were lonely, for no one understood
You were hungry and sore
You were ***** and poor
Your bed was uncomfortable and sometimes your food tasted terrible

Were you lonely Lord, besides when God forsook you?

The words are long and pretty,
They sure sound strong and good,
But would you use them in the valley?
And speak them in the woods?
Its easy to sing of your blossoming love,
Much harder to show it to me,
Do you really love the ugly, and care for the least of these?
It’s easy to write a lovely word, but paint it in your heart,
That’s work

To me I used to think,
Your love a special treat,
A gift to be opened on rare days,
And enjoyed upon occasion,
And perhaps I never will,
Feel so deep each day,
But love is not something to save,
You give it freely all along,
And just as you never say “Enough!”
You command us do the same,
No time is better than another to show love,
A bottomless seven layer cake.

There was never a place to hide from You,
Not a thing about me was covered,
I could not succeed in lies,
But I longed for a place to rest in peace,
And so You said I could hide in You,
No other place would I be safe,
And all I hoped for was there,
Softness for a wearied head,
When I grow tired of keeping it up for all to see,
I can let it all go when I am with You

There are no words
to describe what You were
what there wasn't
what You had
For words were Your first creation
sounds into a void at once brought into being
thoughts of neverending force
shot forth
in the absence of gravity
never to be taken back

My God is living color
a translucent Fire
the traces of Your fingers drip like Gold
Your face blood Ruby red
split with veins of Garnet orange
Carnelian swirls ascending from Your feet

If Your joy is my strength
let me hear it's song bounce from rocks and mountains
Loud and rushing as the wind
sweet and bubbling as a stream
warm and close like Papa arms
Up and Out!
Down and In
flowing
soaking
wafting in
heat my frozen bones
caress a weary head
And I'll accept all suffering
