Gracefully, tears of joy fall gently to the floor, Daily, my heart beats faster at the thought of Your face, Hallelujah! Let us sing to the God of all Creation, His humble heart always hears my softest cry, Marvelous maker, Marvelous One, Heavenly trumpets will sound as the angels sweetly sing, And as I stand here on Earth, surrounded by His love, showered by His grace, Read More | 1 Comment

You make my weary soul smile, Your Heart is tender and mild, You stand over mountains, You swim through the oceans, You paint the skies with blue, purple, and gold, You harvest the garden, You pour down crystal cascades of rain from Heaven to Earth, You give flight to the birds in the sky, You are grace, hope, and love, You are the Redeemer, You Reign over all of creation, You make my days brighter, You add laughter to my life story, You give me strength for the day, You provide peace through the night, You light my every step, You always keep me protected,

These words are the deepest, the darkest, the true, I knew not a Father or brother, a sister or Mother, I thought I was invisible, just a stranger, no name, I believed I was a mistake, I questioned, I doubted, I said I was ugly, “where’s the beauty in me?” I surrounded myself in silence, I felt so alone, I walked down dark alleys, it’s where I slept every night, I cried, I feared, I couldn’t hold back the tears, I was hungry and thirsty, I begged and I stole, I became broken, I stumbled, I constantly fell, I cut myself open, red ran down like a flood, I grew weak, then weaker, the worst was the weakest, I bruised, I bled, I screamed, and I pleaded, I had my heart grow the coldest, so malice and dark, I tossed and I turned, I felt so depressed, Then I woke from this dream, and I realized it all, You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book ~ Psalm 139:15 Read More | 1 Comment

The summer wind swiftly sweeps through our town, Where together we’ll capture every precious sight and sound. I’m sure the day will shine bright, and the night will turn dark, But I’m certain I’ll always feel alive because you hold my heart. You whispered you were a dreamer, and I whispered back, ” I am too” Then we made a promise to chase all of our dreams until the day they came true. You held out your hand, and I held out mine, “Let’s gaze up at the stars from the tallest mountain,” we said, and there we began to climb. When we reach the top, we’ll shout and dance and rejoice and scream, Because together, hand in hand, we chased one of our million dreams. Alas, my eyes focus at the moonlit sky and words spill from my chest: “stars, so beautiful, wondrous, and full of light” And as tears fall down my face, I’m taken back to those first few seconds you stepped in to my life.

He walked on water, I walk by Faith, By the precious blood of Jesus, we live now by Grace. Our souls grow thirsty, our hearts become numb, At Calvary’s Cross, He poured out His Mercy and Love. Let our hearts sing, “O’ fountains of freedom, O’ valleys of victory,” To the Lord God on High, the beautiful mystery. You painted the skies; You sculpted the stars and the Sun, My sin held me captive, but Your Heavenly Hands broke these chains undone, When I listen closely, I hear the resounding echoes of Angels sweetly sing, And a melodious harmony of heavenly harps and strings, “Majesty, Majesty to the Marvelous and Mighty King” Oh Lord, Your love is contagious; teach me all of Your ways, Forevermore, let every breath that I take bring You praise.

My heart is broken in a million pieces, From dusk until dawn, from day until night, I call You Father; You call me Child, This world I walk through always leaves me dry,

Like the air that we breathe, it’s always awake and in motion. It sleeps beneath the summer branches and moves like a waking wind on a cold, winter night. When we’ve finally found it, we sometimes let it slip away. Our hands cannot physically take hold of it. It’s not visible to the human eye. We cannot hear or taste it. However, it lives within the very walls that surround us. It is hope: a human emotion that stretches across the streets and cities that we walk through day in and day out. Hope can be placed in many things. One includes hoping to attain specific material possessions, stuff that can be held on to, anticipating those things will greatly benefit their lives. Others are in high hopes of achieving their greatest ambitions—their dreams—their desires. Whatever the case may be, hope exists in our everyday lives. Then, there is a hope that is both bitter and sweet. It’s the hope we place in finding that one special man or woman whom we’ve been searching for our entire lives. That one perfect Prince or Princess. The one who brings out the best in the them. The one who loves them for who they indisputably are. The one who can provide a love so unconditional and unrelenting. It’s often that we find ourselves clinging on to hope in both times of tragedy and triumph. When the weight of the world is thrown upon our shoulders feeling as heavy as the ocean waters, we grow weary and seek just the slightest hint of hope. We begin searching for answers, hoping our footsteps will be set on a brighter path. We become numb, grow faint, and hopelessness silently creeps within the very fibers of our hearts. The hope is put out like a burning candle. Hope is also evident when we experience prolonged periods of pure joy and victory in our lives, as we eagerly desire for those moments to stay persistent. Above all, there is a hope that never fails—a hope so beautiful and glorious: the hope in Christ Jesus. He embraces us with His infinite love. He welcomes the weak, provides for the poor, and heals the sick. His grace is sufficient as He benevolently blesses our lives. He provides us with strength for the day. He’s our Lord and Savior—the Creator of the world—the Great architect—the King of Kings and Lord of Lord—the healer of hearts. At the cross, He beckoned the broken-hearted. He redeemed us through His blood; battered and beaten, He offered up His life to bring us hope and salvation. He transforms us from the inside out, providing us with a love so abundant and pure, filling our hearts with hope. When we lift our eyes to the heavens, placing in trust Him, Hope in Christ shines down on us, glowing brighter than every star in the sky. Where there is Jesus, there is hope. Give Him the key to your heart and invite Him in. There is hope within His hands. Psalms 39:7 Read More | No Comments
