Where Could I Hide?

I found this song I wrote years ago for my pastors and now it's speaking directly to me! Jesus, I can't walk away! Where could I hide??

There are times when I am weary
And my labour is in vain
When my strength amounts to nothing
And my thoughts are full of pain
But I know Who formed me
And I know Who shapes me
I know Who knows my name
And He won’t walk away

Where could I hide from Your Spirit
Where could I run from Your Presence
If I look up to the heavens You are there
Where could I hide from Your Spirit
Where could I run from Your Presence
If I hide within the depths Lord You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there Your hand will guide me
Lord, Your hands will hold me tight

Then the Lord said when it’s My time
I will answer You
In the day of My salvation
I will help you make it through
And I will keep you
And I will make you
An answer for My people
Please, don’t walk away

Where could I hide? You hold me tight
Where could I hide? You hold me tight

You Mean the World to Him

I can’t believe what’s happening to me
The lives that once consumed my mind
Have blown off in the breeze
And I am left behind
Just flying blind
Not sure which way to turn
Coz I’ve been driven by
My heart’s desire
To let you know
You mean the world to Him
So you mean the world to me

For God so loved the world He gave
His Son, His soul, to meet the grave
To overcome the guilt, the shame
Remove the stain, rewrite your name
To walk the path, with strength untold
Entwined within the Father’s hold
A greater future to unfurl
To Him you mean the world

Enjoying the View

I've spent the years running
Like I've only one gear
It's fast and it's hard
And it's driven by fear
But now that my engine
Has slowly lost fuel
I'm stalled at the lights
And I'm watching the view

And all that I see
Is so beautiful
It's fashioned by God
And it shows off His skill
And if I could rewind
The years that have flown by
I know I'd spend more time
Enjoying the view

I’ve peered into people
Feeling drawn to their pain
So desperate to change
All that I see as chains
But now that I’ve nothing
No strength to undo
I’m done with the fixing
And I’m looking at you

You're all that I see
And you're beautiful
You're fashioned by God
And you show off His skill
And if I could rewind
The years that have flown by
I know I'd spend more time
Enjoying the view

Leaving the Zoo

When you've taken up residence in a cage for a while, it can get comfortable. Breaking free can be a little like leaving the zoo...

Here I sit upon the floor
An empty room, an open door
How to walk from here to there I know
Will take a strength beyond my own
It’s not so far but so unknown
Just pick me up so I can go
Just pick me up so I can go

If I had to leave this zoo
You would be there wouldn’t You
Coz these captive days are through
And I need... I need to follow You

You’re the one I need the most
And nothing in this world comes close
I’ll make you King my closest friend
You are my refuge, You’re my strength
And all I have comes to an end
But everything you are eternally

If I had to leave this zoo
You would be there wouldn’t You
Coz these captive days are through
And I need to follow You
If I had to leave this zoo
You would be there wouldn’t You
Coz these captive days are through
And I need... I need to follow You

Teach Us

Some they dream of Heaven
A place where there’s no tears
A place where there’s no loneliness
And nothing left to fear
But me I dream of this world
The way it was made to be
A world where we serve Jesus Christ as King

And I know who I believe in
And I know that He is able
To guard all that I give Him
Till that day, till that day (x2)

Equip us, till we’re united
Change us and work inside us
Till we’re no longer childlike
Tossed by the enemy’s lies
Teach us how to live, Teach us how to love
Teach us how to live, Teach us how

This story isn’t over
It’s only just begun
This life has pages left to turn
And road that’s left to run
Some they think I’m foolish
For holding on so strong
But I serve a God who carries me along

I Lift Up My Eyes

He will not let my foot be moved
My keeper, He’ll never leave
My shade on my right
Covers me day and night
Preserving the deep parts of me

I lift up my eyes to the hills
I know where my help comes from
The maker of all that surrounds me
Is the one who I know as my Lord

Why do I doubt, why do I fear?
Why don’t I trust that You are near?(x2)
I will not doubt, I will not fear
I will declare that You are here

Rest in You

I met with Him thismorning
And I lifted up a prayer
Asked God to help me through the day
And show me that He’s there
He’s set for me a table
My cup will overflow
And I will fear no evil
For His comfort I will know

Surely goodness and love will follow me
And the days of my life reflect Your harmony (x2)

Troubles rise before me
Storms they rage around me
Yet in Your midst I find the perfect peace, the perfect peace

The Lord he is my shepherd
He has all that I need
The peace and restoration
For the wounded soul in me
You work in me Your goodness
For I’m tainted on my own
You raise in me a standard
That I’d never reach alone

Though valleys they are low
I’ll find rest in You
Though storms they rise inside
I’ll find rest in You (I’ll find rest, find my rest in You)

You've Given

"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms" Ephesians 1:17-20 NIV

I know it in my head; let me feel it in my heart - what You've given to me

You say that You're all that I need
Here I come arms wide and empty
You say that Your Word strengthens me
Spirit rise up and consume me!

You've given me all that I need
Your power is at work within me
Open my eyes so that I can see
You've given me all that I need

I say to my enemies “Flee!”
Relentlessly they are pursuing
You say all my chains will release
Spirit rise up set me free

There's healing in this house
Freedom in this house
Come fill this house, Take over!
