Though the blossom is almost gone
It lingers on
I see it in the seed
Behind the window
Planted in the ground
I see it in the tree
That stretches out its branches
Waiting for spring to come
I see behind my gaze
And know
It will bloom once more
For within the seed
I see the mystery of eternity
Revealed
Your light shines through
Every single day
From early morning dawn
To the setting sun
Your light shines through
Brightening up my path
With love that knows no limit
Grace that draws me close
Mercy that follows me all the days of my life
Faithful from beginning to end
Your light shines through
Bringing hope to every step
Life to every breath
Promise for every day
You stop me dead in my tracks
In humility I bow down
Raise my hands to heaven in worship
Surrendered to Your will
Enveloped in Your love
Held by Your grace
I have nowhere else to turn
But heavenward
Nowhere else to run
But to You
You call me to walk on water
Then stretch out Your hand
When I’m drowning in fear
You speak to my doubt
To my little faith
Take heart
Don’t be afraid
The winds blow
And the storm rages
The thunder roars
And the lightening strikes
You quieten them
To a gentle whisper
And once again the sun rises
To a magnificent day
Full of glory
Still and calm
Abounding beauty
Emptied out from this emptiness
Where life just ebbs away
You turn my heart to yearn again
Toward the fragrance of Your love
Where just the scent of Your presence
Causes this shoot to push through
This dry and barren land
From beginning to end
You anchor me
Hold me fast
To what is true
Beyond the waves of lies
That roll in everyday
Beyond the sands of despair
That slip through either hand
You don’t just speak to me
You stay with me
And lead me along the way
Opening my eyes to see and know
That every step I take with You
Has an eternal footprint
Marked out
Before time began
You anchor me
Hold me fast
To what is true
A sea of colour
A flood of light
An ocean so deep and wide
Such is the love of God
That fills my heart
It has no limit
It was there before time began
Just one drop opened a window for me
To gaze out upon an eternal expanse
Of the beauty and majesty
Of the One I love
Who is the beginning and the end
The author and perfecter
Of my faith
Your will for mine
Surrendered
Knowing You
In deeper ways
Hidden fears
Exposed
Brought to the surface
Rendered powerless
As the force of Your love
Blows them away
Then what remains
Is a heart at rest
Comforted in the knowledge
That I am Yours
How often
You have quietened me with Your love
Settled over me with peace
Causing me to rest secure
Like a baby cradled in its mother’s arms
Surely Your love is better than life
More beautiful than the sunset
Adorned in all its glory
How great is Your love
How great You are
In this stillness and quietness
Your breeze blows over me
Like the rippling of waters
On a clear blue day
The sky is bright and soothing
As calm as blue can be
The leaves of green sparkle
As the rays of sun
Caress their backs
I greet this day
With awe and praise
As You my Maker display
Your glory once more
