In the stillness

In the stillness
I slow down for you
In the quietness
My soul waits for you
In the eye of the storm,
my heart will be found here in you.
You are my Lord

In the restlessness
I find peace in You
In my shamefulness
I'm made whole in You
In the eye of the storm,
my heart will be found here in You
You are my Lord
You are my Lord

I hear the shepherd

I hear the shepherds voice, he's calling
before the dawn of earth's first morning
where light and space and time were born, he 
beckoned me by name.

I hear the shepherd gently speaking
through the prophets, psalms and teachings
through law and spirit, thought and feelings
calling us by name

I hear my shepherd calling my name
in hot and dusty Jerusalem
in the star filled skies above Bethlehem
calling me by name

I hear the angels shout, victorious
our king, our shepherd, He is glorious
he became the lamb slain for us
Calling us by name

Solomon's Colonnade

They meet in Solomon’s Colonnade
Excitement in the air,
Peace, 
Hope so strong.
You can taste the expectancy,
Feel the power,
The revelation that something magnificent has taken place.
Awe and wonder,
Miracles daily
Meeting together,
United as one
And there foundations laid,
Patterns woven
The great mystery of beautifully treading upon earth as in heaven
Numbers they grow
As they gather together
They share what they have, 
None are in want
Unity sweet
Friendship anointed
With purpose and grace there is no looking back
And this they call ‘church’
The bride,
The great beauty
And even to death they believe in the cause
With the power of the Spirit
There is no hesitation
As they walk with the truth and live life for the King

My king

Jesus you’re my King
I sing this song for you
And alI that I hold dear
I give it up to you

Chorus:
And without you, I can do no thing
Without you, I can do no thing

Refine this stubborn heart
And help me follow you
So may this offering
Be pleasing Lord to you

Jesus here’s my life
Help me trust you with all things
All my hopes and fears
They’re at your feet my King

Swim

Stand with me on the edge and curl your toes over
Lets jump
Ok I’ll push you in and show you
The waters cool and blue and close and I am near
Wrap your arms around my waist; I’ll hold your feet
And we will spin under the water.
Know the closeness, I will lift you
And don’t you feel much lighter now?
Splash and break down through the water
So now lets swim, I hear you breathing
And I’m the only one to hear you.
Twist like a whirlpool, make shapes like starfish
I’ll hold your face against mine, then splash and dive
and now I’ll race you to the other side…

Dirty Waters

You wade into the dirty waters
In your arms you gather me
My soul is weary from resisting
Warm strength meets my frailty
Your presence, near, refreshing, safe
Redeeming love has come for me

You take me to a place of safety
Tenderly you set me down
The walls I’ve built, so high, consuming
Soften, crumbling all around
Hope appears, a still small whisper
‘My beloved, you’ve been found’.
