Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

help.

i cannot tell
the sky above
from the rocks below
oh God
where do i go?
i can't find the path
can't hear Your voice
what's the next phrase
how do i make my choice?
where are the turns
that lead to You
where are the notes
my lifesong shall sing
oh my God
help me my King.

weak.

oh my God
let Your Strength flow
for mine is weak
and in our weakness
we truly rely on You
see where we fall short
where Your Glory reigns
Father, hold me up
help me to stand
because i am only human
and the Almighty, Redeeming
God.

engraved in our souls

the desire for You

interwoven in our being

we are designed

to be with You

we try to substitute

to fill Your place

in our hearts

nothing will suffice

only You complete

only You fulfill

is for You

Lord, we were made

to be with You.

how often i forget

the uncontainable joy

that i find with You

that with every second

i smile

that with every breath

i laugh

oh, Father

you are truly magnificent

as surely as the rain falls

Your joy fulfills

nothing is more glorious

than You, Lord

nothing.

with each breath

i praise You

so much You give

so much i don't deserve

yet, grace pours on me

it is all because of You

to show them The Way

to be a light

how strange

our humanity is

the constant complaint

´i cannot see You, Lord´

yet we do

we just don´t look

in the strangest ways

i am reminded of You

in a smile i see Your humor

may these clouds linger

not just pass by

let it pour

may Your voice be heard

the Thunder of Truth

bring us a storm

&Your beauty

lessons

'Lord, let me be wise'

was once a prayer

but what i have learned

is You do not give wisdom

you give situations to be wise

for every gift i ask for

you give opportunities

to use the potential

inside of all of us

for patience &wisdom

strength &compassion

Lord, You are so good

you do not give answers

but lessons

refusal.

just to grasp Your robe

to have that faith

to believe in Your power

to move mountains

but the doubt is so easy

this world is so hard

the pressure to conform

the push to pull away

but Lord i refuse

i want to be transformed

renewed in You

i won't let my soul fade

let my spirit slide

i am a child of God

and forever will proclaim

the world cannot compare

to the power

of Christ

stab my pride.

i need help

a simple statement

but so difficult

my pride is so strong

help is not defeat

to be wise

to be strong

is to ask for a help

a simple prayer

Lord, i need Your help

simply answered

all i must do

is sacrifice my pride

all i must do

is give acknowledge

without You

i am nothing

with You

the mountains will move.

breathe.

it's not the breath

it's the breathing

the motion of creation

the miracle of life

inhale

He made you

exhale

He has a plan

just simplicity

breathing in

breathing out

God will provide

breathe.

raising strength

raising my head

is so hard

with the shadow

pushing me down

forcing my glance

away

but i will defeat

i will lift my hands

will raise my eyes

will look to You

will feel the warmth

with Your strength

the shadows are weak

they hold no power

nothing ever has or will

compare to You

shadow's wing

the only shadow i want

is the comfort beneath Your Wing

the protection from all

not hiding

but residing

in the safety

in Your refuge

living in Your presence

flying on eagle's wings
