You're Alive

I've never seen your eyes
But I know the way you look at me with love
I've never seen your hands
But I know what they've given to me
I've never seen your mouth
But I hear the loving things you say

You're alive - you're alive!
And I'm immersed in your presence
You're alive - you're alive!
I feel you, I found you

I've never seen your heart
But I know it beats with love for me
I've never seen your feet
But I hear them moving all around me
I've never heard you breathe
But your breath of life is everywhere

"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.

Lover and Lord

Here's a new song I wrote last night... I wish you could hear the music, because it's out of my normal "box" sonically.

"Lover and Lord"

VERSE 1:

Lift up your head, redemption’s call is sounding

The victory -- is at hand

We raise our hands

To reach our loving Savior

He’s never far away

He’s never far away

VERSE 2:

God you’re a mystery, beyond comprehension

I don’t deserve this grace

Lord take these hands

Everything I offer

I give my life to you.

I give my life to you.

CHORUS:

You heal us

You reveal to us

There is no good gift, you withhold

You died for us

You did rise for us

You’re our lover and our Lord

BRIDGE:

Whose love is like our God’s?

Raining down truth, raining down grace

Whose love is like our God’s?

Lift up your head, lift up your head

For my son...

I wrote the following for my son, London, with the intention of eventually putting it to music...

"The River" (London's name means "Settlement on the Wide River")

May the rain never dim your bright eyes,
May the Son always be your guide.
May your days be filled up with His praise, and
May you always know your life is beautiful.

Drink in the river that flows from the throne of God.
Camp at his feet and rise on wings so you can fly.
You can change the world, my son, if you just believe.
You can change their hearts, I know, because you've changed me.
