"Now that I've Found You" (a song)

The following song materialized in my skull while driving today. I used the voice recorder on my phone to capture it, then chorded it out at home tonight. Enjoy!

"Now that I've Found You"

Who are we, Lord, that You look for us?
... Search for the sheep who have gone astray?
We've gone astray.
--
Who are we, Lord, to receive your grace?
A love so deep for eternity.
Who are we?

You called me Your child, out of dark shadows.
You rescued my soul, more than I'll ever know.
You saved me!

Now that I've found You,
I'm giving everything I have to worship!
My life is Yours.

You've opened up the impossible.
You give us future and a hope -- forever.
You anoint our heads and move our feet.
Everything You are saturates.
You're beautiful.

You called me your child, out of dark shadows.
You rescued my soul, more than I'll ever know.
You saved me!

Now that I've found You,
I'm giving everything I have to worship.
My life is Yours.
So glad I found you.
Now I'm gonna run from the distractions.
My life is Yours!

My life is Yours, my life is Yours.

"Makes the Heart Sick" (a poem)

I wrote this poem after watching "Slumdog Millionaire" tonight:

"Makes the Heart Sick"

Things are not what they should be.
Nor what they once were.
Brokenness and pain,
So many innocent are slain.
Disregard for precious life,
ignorance of the saving-everlasting.
The justice ones are overdue,
from our souls' hopes they're fasting.
Reluctantly we watch the darkness binge,
the blackened hearts are just the start.
A grinding cycle gets ever stronger,
Cutting flesh, burning eyes, searing thoughts.
Cries of young ones, heard by none?
Heard by One. Heard by One.
Things are not what they should be.
Or what they're going to be.
Though justice rain won't fall today...
Someday.
