Ancient songs
Dance through
Sunburst skies
Echoing rhythms of long ago
They’re carried down
Wave after wave
Through every generation
These holy anthems
Are found in hearts redeemed
Who long to be found
Singing
With the Song Maker
One dreamCan preserve a nation
One touch
Can last a lifetime
One heart on fire
Can blaze through the darkness
Loves voice
Speaks through the ages
Breathes life into dead bones
Quietens the raging storm
Comforts the battle worn heart
Strengthens the weak knees
This sparrow takes to flight
Bowed in humility
Rising higher than ocean waves
Crossing mountain peaks
Till the groom calls out my name
Saying
Come away with me
My love
Let’s dance
Drowning in unbelief
Soaked in arrogance
Fortified in ruins
So is the fool
Who says in his heart
There is no God
Thick high walls
Built on the foundation
Of bitterness and rage
So many centuries
Have passed away
Lying in ruins
Along the way
Ancient paths
Where men still tread
Stories are told
Of those long dead
Future promises
Held onto
Rising above
The smouldering decay
Pointing to
A time to come
Eternally anchored
Until that day
The exquisite beauty
Of childlike wonder
A gaze of awe
Then the rush
Of exhilarating pleasure
Popping open like champagne
Flowing over with uncontainable joy
The essence of faith
Filled with childlike wonder
What fragrance can be compared
Clinched fists
Teeth biting down
Holding on for dear life
So help me God
Mans ability to take charge
Stay in control
Eventually runs out of steam
The coals that fire up the engine
Are supernatural
Sustained by grace
Drawn along parallel tracks
Of Gods word and Gods power
Without both
This train is going nowhere
Your faithfulness
Is unfailing
Relentless
Unstoppable
To know
I’m held that tight
Secures me
To the depth of my soul
Moves me
In Your direction
Helping me walk
As one being taught
Learning to listen
Then following
Your ways
