Find me in mercy

Here I stand before you God
Overwhelmed but undeterred
By the freedom of your heart
Overtaken by your love 
I'm letting go of feeling lost 
To be found in all of you

Find me cover me in mercy
Teach me how to be
Teach me how to live

You are mighty God to save me
More than I can know
You are all I need

Settle down this weary heart
It's time to stop and find your rest
Let his ceaseless hope arise within
To find a freedom full of peace
To find a joy that lifts your spirit
To be defined by God alone

Find me diving deep in mercy
You alone are worthy
You alone are God

Mighty stronger than an army
You have overcome me
You have won my heart

Love sets a fire in my soul
Joy and freedom, found in grace
Love clarifies my resolve
To be bolder for your name

In quiet, reflecting

In stillness ill listen ill wait for your call. I'll rest in the promise your love conquers all. In quiet reflecting on all that you've given to me.

Forever my saviour you gave me your life. You freely surrendered with arms open wide. In turn I surrender in awe of your limitless love.

Your heart poured out
Turned the world upside down
Redeemer of all of the earth

Sidelines

Open hands
standing there 
letting go of this atmosphere
Taking chances 
living change
seeking justice and finding strength


Hiding on the sidelines
you will never see your worth
There's no safety in the waiting
There's a fire in your words 
You can influence the mountain
You can make it through the storm
With a willing heart to guide you
you'll be better than before

Overcome
Change their minds
Realise
The future's bright

Reminiscing

Updating my ipod and looking through some old notes...

6/6/11 
"Here I stand in argument 
debating all my prayers with God 
his healing touch his sovereign hand 
the mystery of giving up 
to let him take control. 

Here I am I just a man. 
But my heart has much more 
I've believed.

Trust feels like a risk but it's a risk worth taking. 
I think my mind needs rearranging. 
Ive justified my need to justify. 
Hope is a treasure hold that I've forgotten. 
It's something that I thought was weak. 
But it unfolds the mysteries of trust 
revealing perfect love."

10/10/11 "I need to maintain a balance between accepting my limitations and challenging them. I am both worthwhile and a valuable as I am today, and a constant work in progress looking for achievable ways to better myself."

28/11/11 
"Let go my son be still and know me as your love. 
Your striving blurs the face of grace and mercy in your life. 
The quiet place don't be ashamed to just be still and know me. 
Your silent prayers I've seen them all. 
Your open heart is all I need to be what's missing in your life. 
I am. I am. I am. I am."

21/3/12
"I receive you like the flower receives the sun. 
Stand in wonder at the glory of your love. 
I will worship as your majesty surrounds me. 
It's your nature.

You lead me by the quiet waters. 
Restoring everything of me. 
You lead me into the resting place. 
Into your arms. 

Beside me you will never leave me. 
You hide me underneath your wings. 
I feel you, I feel your endless love is everything
It makes me whole.

Messiah. The perfect one of God.
Redeemer and ruler of my heart. 
You are my God. 
Jesus holy one.
You went to the end of the earth and back for me."

Ever Deeper

You took my future made it bright
You've given me abundant life
Ever onward in your love I'm free

Your forgiveness changed my heart
It's lead me to a place of trust
Ever deeper in your heart I'm free

Now I am yours
All my heart changed by love
In your fullness, your glory, your peace
Ever deeper in you
My soul will be found
Lifted up in my life you are
Lifted up in my life you are God

Love Collided (more than my heart can contain...)


Your love collided with my heart
It separated light from dark
You've changed me so I'll never be the same

Your truth has opened up my eyes
You've sanctified my former life
You've changed me so I'll never be the same
You call it grace

Reaching out
With everything that I am
I love you Lord
You're more than my heart can contain

I will run to your embrace
My heart has longed for your desires
Before the world was formed you knew my name

So I'll let go and be transformed
Set free of living for this world
Everything I need is in your love
You fill my cup

Reaching, you are greater
You are first my Saviour
