No matter how awful
I act or I feel
In my worst moment
At my lowest point
And at my highest
There is this love
I can’t begin to understand
That surrounds me
And fills me up
Pursues me relentlessly
No matter what I do
No matter where I am
No matter how I’m doing
My God loves me
Relentlessly, He loves me
No matter what
Nothing dissuades
His relentless love
Oh Lord, my God
Father and King
You didn’t have
To think out
How You would
Design the wind
You spoke it all
Right into being
You spoke
And You made
All of creation
You spoke and
Everything began
Lord, let my only fear
Be the fear I hold for You
Fear that means reverence
Fear that is deep awe
For Who You are
Not fear that means terror,
Fight, or flight, but
Fear in love
Fear in respect
For the Creator
Let my only fear
Be the fear I hold
For You, my Lord,
My King, my God
Messy disaster
Of a human life
That is how it feels
From time to time
To slog through
From day to day
Just trying
To survive
What kind
Of life is that?
Who wants to live
A life filled
Only with fret
Pain, disaster
Hardship and stress
What kind of
Life is that?
Guess what,
It’s not all there is
There is life
Meant to be lived
Filled with love
Beyond imagining
Waiting for you
In the embrace
Of the God
Who made you
Messy disasters,
That isn’t all there is
To this human life
I want to know God
Not of Him
Or about Him
I want to know Him intimately
From the inside out
Starting in my heart
I want to know God
Through and through
In the deepest recesses
Of my soul and mind
I want my thoughts, my desires
Laid out for Him
I want to be known
By You, God intimately
Through and through
I want to really know You
Lord, let your love
And glory rain down
Like wind and rain
In a hurricane
Pelt the earth
And everything and everyone
Upon on the earth
With Your love and glory
Flood the world
As You did
In Noah’s day
With Your love and glory
Lord, let your love
And glory rain down
Like wind and rain
In a hurricane
What is joy?
What is love,
But that Jesus came down
He is God’s only son
A promise to us
Of love and hope
Through Him we’re cleansed
Our sin are all erased
For there is joy Greater
Than any fleeting happiness
A love so overflowing
Nothing can extinguish my joy
I have Christ in my heart
His joy fills my veins
Every beat pumps Jesus into me
And I am filled with joy
Everlasting, overflowing
Joy fills my soul
Unwavering, redeeming joy
Joy in my Jesus
