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
All the things I built
Up around me
To display my might
And show my strength
Are like dust
Collapsing scaffolding
When disaster rises up
Wipes them away
So far beyond rebuilding
That I am left stripped down
To nothing, completely exposed
And there is nothing around
I can rebuild myself with
Some call that my
Weakest moment
I call it my most honest
When I have no choice
But to admit that I
Need help, can’t do life
All on my own
I need something
Much bigger than me
And so much wiser
I need a strength
That is not my own
That is the moment
Many feel most alone,
But I don’t
For me, it is the time when
I know my God is so close
He is within me and
All around
Making sure I am
Never alone
He fills me up
Sustains me
With so much greater
Than anything I ever
Called my own
God is my strength
He builds me new
From the ground up
Until I am a new creation
Built up relying only on God
Voices raised
Joined together in song
A melody of praise
Languages blending
Words enmeshed
Creating a harmony
Of praise glorifying
The name and fame
Our Father God in Heaven
A melodic tapestry
Of woven praise
Acoustic echoes
Of God’s enduring love
Testifying to how great
Our God is
Let my disease
Be one of gratitude
My greatest symptom
Be thankfulness
Let my disease
Spread like wildfire
Let whole world
Become infected
Let the earth ring
With the sound
Of everyone rejoicing
With graciousness
Let us spread thanksgiving
Let the whole world be
Forever infected
By my disease
My gracious disease
Jesus, set me ablaze
So that each step I take
All will see the light
From the burning
You have set in my heart
Fueled with Your love
With Your purpose
Burning worth Your glory
Jesus, set me ablaze
Let me walk this earth
With a burning heart
Covered in dust
We all turned gray
Painted with smoke and ash
We were all the same
Covered in the soil
And the wreckage of
The land of the free
Where eagles soar
We will never forget
When the towers fell
When our country changed
And we all knew
No matter how different
We all are or believe
We are all the same
It’s red we all bleed
Covered in gray
We were all simply
Americans covered in dust
United on that day
Brought into the family
The family of God
A home where I can live
And never have to go
To leave and not come back
God welcomes us all
I have been taken in
Taken into the family of God
The Lord above
Who created the world
The author of life
He opens His arms
And welcomes us all
With His great love
I have been adopted
I have been taken in
