Shout

Let the trumpets sound,
and the angels sing,
for He is here among us,
the King of kings.
Shout it on the mountaintops,
join creation in its chorus,
singing, "the way is clear, there is only one,
come meet the King's only son.
He has come to free us from our chains,
lighten our burdens, and show us the way
to an intimate life with the King."
Spread the word,
write it in the sky,
"God will give you the life you're longing for,
just come to his son who will show you the way."

Good to Me

God,
Why are you so good to me?
I am but made from dust,
so small compared to your majesty.
Yet, you knew me before the beginning of time,
and shaped me with your holy hands.
Gave me a calling, a purpose to live,
and a passion for your holiness.
In my sin, I almost drowned,
yet you sent your son as a sacrifice for me,
to bring me back to who I am created to be.

God,
I do not deserve any of your blessings,
or the grace you have shown me.
For it is you who has given me life,
and the only way I can show my gratitude,
it to live my life for you.

Tumbling

Tumbling,
as invisible hands try to trip me up.
Staggering,
as silent blows hit me left and right.
The Enemy is out in force,
trying to slow me down.
Hitting me where it hurts the most,
He's trying to win the battle over my soul.
The Enemy has already lost the war,
but he is trying to take as many down with him.
Out of the darkness,
blow after blow assails my body,
as I desperate try to take the next step.

God,
I need your strength,
to keep moving forward.
Cover me with your hands of protection,
refresh me with your loving grace.
For I refuse to lose,
but I cannot do it on my own.
I need you Lord, more than ever before,
to walk alongside of me as I continue my journey.
