Change is Coming

I feel a stirring in my soul,

something is changing

God's hands are in my life

my heart, he's rearranging

Ripping open patched up wounds

so healing can begin

Turning my face towards the giants

long ago buried within

He's showing His mercy

He's showing His grace

He's showing His love for me

He's revealing His face.

Trust

My heart is breaking, aching for you

as you lie there so afraid.

I thought that I could keep you safe,

I feel I have betrayed.

You look to me, those big blue eyes

to comfort and console.

I mourn the things I cannot fix

things out of my control.

To my God, I will entrust,

please guide the hands that heal.

Give them wisdom, give them strength,

and your plan, Lord, please reveal.

Baby Boy

Don't grow up, my baby boy,

our days now seem so few.

Come and sit with me awhile

so I'll be close to you.

Tell me of your wildest dreams,

share with me your fears.

Tell me what you hope to be 

in the coming years.

Allow me one more glimpse

of the child I once knew.

Let me hold you in my arms

like I did when you were two.

Set Me Free

Oh Lord, I cry out to you!

Help heal my heart

It's breaking inside me...

being torn apart

Why can't I feel you

in this dark hour?

Where is your mercy?

Where is your power?

How can I heal 

the wounds from my past?

How can you fill them

with a healing that lasts?

When will the past 

stop deceiving me?

When will I allow you

to set me free?

Free from the lies

stored in my heart

Free from the me

that tears me apart

When will I start to see

what's honest and true?

When will I trust 

and turn completely to you?

Give up the fight

that is raging within

Give up the need

to always win

Help me Lord, 

look always to You

When I don't seem to know

what else to do

Help me remember

not to believe the lies

But instead see myself

through Your loving eyes

For with you on my side

I can do all things

I will find Your strength

and the peace that it brings
