Journey With Him
as I climb and journey these roads of faith
I am ever closer to seeing your face
I was once lost among a vast and open field
there was no one to run to for me to be healed
I wandered and walked down many paths
I had let go of your hand too young and too fast
and so I tried to journey on my own
following what I saw instead of what I had known
I knew deep down that you were watching me there
but I had let go and succumbed to my own wants and fears
I knew you were there and I tried to pray
not knowing I could really know you and hear what you say
I lost hope for all that I could have achieved
I listened to the darkness and I was deceived
I knew all along that you were everlasting and real
I guess I was ashamed and could not bring myself before you to kneel
I knew you could hear me and wanted me to come to you
But I was afraid of myself and my many sins that were now my truth
so I journeyed on in this one way relationship controled by fear
seeking you through silent heart rendering yet selfish prayer
always knowing you could see all that I had done
not understanding this battle that you have already won
so you continued to knock upon my door
waiting for me to answer so you could show me my core
I had heard you knocking many a times
but I of course had this blindness of the mind
so I had to be pushed and proded with love
I was given the gift of a dream that could have only been sent from the heavens above
finally I was begining to see and understand
but even then I would only briefly hold your hand
and so it had been nearly a year
from the time I heard you calling so clear
I was now in a place where I was really begining to seek
to search for myself because I was thirsty and weak
I felt the need to call upon your mighty name
except this time I would come to you with out the shame and the blame
I opened the door to find a book filled with your word
I read and read and I finally felt as though I was heard
I saught answers and understanding of my own part of your plan
I was filled with your spirit and began to write from a place I did not know
I had feelings of this beautiful heart that was not my own
for now I did not walk by myself each day
I was learning your language of love and your way
I could see so clearly all that was behind
the path ahead was lit up and I saw the mountain behind I had climbed
I can now see that this is my path and my unending journey with you
I can now see myself and be honest and true
I know have a companion on this road that is now bright
I will seek Him for all my strength hope and might
I will follow Him and allow His love filled heart to give my eyes sight
I will trust Him as we walk together along this up and down road
because He is my shepherd and He is guiding me home

Piece of My Heart

in this silent still place within my heart
I seek you my Lord and what it is that you want
I will only to live for you each and everyday
as I seek by your grace to quiet distractions that keep me away
I long, yet I drift although I know what I am to do
I wander in and out of my own truth
a path ahead so bright I can hardly see
a dark road behind only a piece a fraction of me
with you by my side I am now eternally whole
I will no longer hide away my precious soul
this piece this strength that you have given back to me
has allowed me to recognize and believe
I am now connected back to that place long ago
a time when my heart could see you and know
that love was an eternal truth that you freely gave
a love you wanted me to have and to save
I knew but I let pain take control
I felt alone but did not know which way to go
so I slowly went the opposite way
until the road was to dark and I thought I had to stay
I now see that moment in time
when I ran away and let pain leave me blind
with you my Lord I can see my lost and broken young heart
I can go to that very moment when I let it tear apart
because you hold this most precious key
you held onto my little heart that was a piece of me
you have molded me always in your gentle hands
you kept my heart for a time when I would understand
I kneel before you as I accept your gift of my life
I cry as you piece me back together my heart now full of your light
I am greatful you saved that little piece of my heart
you have made whole again what I let pain deceive and tear apart
I know now I can face anything with you by my side
there is no need to run away or to hide
I can walk peacefully as I climb and journey ever farther on this path
holding your hand with this treasured gift from years past
I am free as I awake each day with your gifts of love and truth
I am whole because you treasured the spirit of my youth
I am mended and healed my youth with the wisdom you gave
I am greatful but I know it is for you that I have been saved
