About You

What is it about You,
that makes the world go round?
What is it about your kindness,
that you walked amongst the crowd?
What is it about your grace,
that you sacrificed yourself for us?
What is is about your mercy,
that you broke the chains binding me?
What is it about your joy,
that gives my life meaning?
What is it about your love,
that you choose to love a sinner like me?
What is it about you, Oh God,
that makes the world go round?

Creep

It is so easy to let sin creep in,
To see with proud eyes the good inside.
Constantly comparing to those around,
Putting yourself above the crowd.

Yet, as time passes,
the heartbeat weakens.
The Joy and Peace fade away,
and all that's left is an empty shell.
The words fall short in prayer,
and the mind cannot focus on the Word.
The sin let in, became a wall,
and grew beyond your control.
Separated from the source of life,
the realization hits,
as empty eyes reach for answers.

All have sinned and fallen short of God
and no matter how good you think you are,
An empty shell is all that will remain
is the Source is traded for empty sin.

So, come as you are,
broken, empty and weary,
back to the cross, which transformed you.
repent and leave all burdens there,
In the hands of the Creator of all.
Return to where the journey began,
and seek God with the heart of a child.
Find rest and peace in the shadow of His wings,
and be filled with his unending love once again.

Repair

God,
here I stand, all of me,
emotionless at your feet.
I don't know how it happened,
the turning of my heart to stone.
The fire so brightly lit,
came out of the turbulent storm
only as a small flicker about to burn out.
God,
I just can't seem to feel.
The ups and downs of the last year,
have felt me completely dry.
God,
I don't want to be like this,
but it is so hard to care.
I long to be filled with your joy once again.
and held in your warm embrace,
but I cannot do it as I am alone.
God,
Take my heart, my body, and soul,
dismantle and repair,
renew my spirit and faith,
and help my heart to beat once again.
Bring me back to where
You want me to be.
