Redemption

If I could just go back in time
Rewrite that story in my mind
Erase mistakes
Open eyes
Take back words
Bring truth to lies
If I could just go back in time
Then maybe I'd have peace of mind

If I could just go back once more
Let hindsight loose to open doors
Calm the waves
Unravel knots
Smooth the creases
Open locks
If I could just go back once more
Then things would change
I know for sure

Or do I?
Does life's success all hinge on me
Am I the one who sets things free?

If I could just go back back in time
I think I know just what I'd find
My best intent
My deepest wish
My greatest love
Can't alter this
If I could change what's said and done
We'd still need our Redemptive One

Expectation - Empathising

Entered the restaurant and sat at the tablE
eXcited but trying to show some decoruM
Perusing the menu I chose what was toP
Each option exuding a welcoming aurA
Certain my dish would serve me delighT
Tasting, however, I let out a sigH
Approaching the kitchen, how angry was I
Till I saw the chef there with tears in her eyeS
It dawned on me all that I’d thought of was I
Our clashes are fueled by our failed expectatioN
New found understanding is peace in the makinG

Lift Those Wings

The ache inside
It let's me know
Unrest is near
It tells me so
But overtaking
My spirit's waking
To something stronger
Lasting longer
And if this peace
Could have its reach
And touch your heart
I'd let it so
I hope you know
I hope you know

Lift those wings Lord
Bent and broke
Lift those wings Lord
Bring Your hope

I see the door
The lock's aren't strong
The key's been turned
It wont take long
Beyond those walls
I glimpse some more
There's space outside
For you to soar
I know this peace
Will find its reach
And touch your heart
Then it will grow
I hope you know
I hope you know

Lift those wings Lord
Bent and broke
Lift those wings Lord
Bring Your hope

Hold Your Head Up High

Do you ever feel a little bit scared
Of the sounds in the dark
Or what’s under your bed
Don’t be afraid, Jesus is here
He’s keeping you safe
So you don’t have to fear
You can smile
You can stand up tall
You are big inside
Even if you’re small
You can smile
You don’t have to cry
You are strong, little one
You can hold your head up high

The Source

I wonder if you know
Just who your life has touched
Whose day was changed
When you stepped in
To you it won’t seem much
To them their life has been enriched
Their mind has been renewed
The thoughts that had been haunting them
No longer to endure
But cast away
Replaced by hope
Replaced by something greater still
A space now filled
With words of life
With drive to overcome the strife
To rise above the obstacles
To soar so high
The troubles shrink
Replaced by thirst
For them to drink
More words of life
And draw them to
The Saviour’s side
The Source whose water
Won’t run dry

That's Why He Put You There

If I knew then
What I know now
Would I take the same path
Would I make the same vows?
Would I alter my steps
To fit in with the crowd
Or stand up tall
And speak aloud
Would I show the world
What’s deep inside
Would I no longer run
Would I no longer hide
Would my voice be louder
Would my stride be stronger
Would I hold my gaze
Just that little bit longer
If you’re reading this
And you’re holding back
Please take this chance
To retrace your track
And remember Who’s daughter or son
You are
Who’s palm your name is written on
Who laid down His life so YOU could live
And don’t hold back
What you can give
Your thoughts, your dreams
Your talent and time
This world needs all
You can put on the line
Some say “Why doesn’t God move?”
Some say “Why doesn’t He care?”
I guess He’s waiting for you to move
That’s why He put you there
