Although His timing may be different
He works everything into his picture
We are here to be moved at His will
We just need to keep trusting and be still

In This World
Reach for Him
When the sky begins to fall
When you can’t understand His hand
Trust His heart
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Still Waters
I see this is by Your hand.
Though not all will understand
How You’ve led me into
Your promised land
The pasture is green
The waters so wide
A land flowing with honey
You there by my side
My soul is refreshed
My heart so content
Each labored step led
By divine Providence
Years in the storm
Now worth the wait
The desires that were born
The mistakes that were made
The changes that occurred
All through grace
Ushering me here
To this moment, this place
Psalm 23:1-6
1The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4Even though I walk
through the darkest valley, a
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Speak
Discomfort causes me to stop and listen
What is it you’re trying to say?
My normal devices are saying nothing
So I’ve got to look your way
Stillness
Your eyes see ahead
Your hands hold all the cards
You’ve made and erased all the rules
You’ve let me taste your heart
So when You ask me to be still, I will
Lest I err in my own way
I’ll take life slowly, let it unfold
And keep waiting with you today
“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” Aristotle
Alone Together
When I see You, nothing else matters
When I feel You, the rest of the world disappears
When You gently whisper to me
Contentment replaces all my fears
Let me hear Your voice
Let me feel Your embrace
Let it just be me and You today
Are You There
Maybe I’ve done life all wrong
Maybe it’s been my fault all along
Maybe I was a person I couldn’t even see
And the fingers I pointed should’ve been pointed at me
God are You there
God do You hear
My cries and my plea
To rest beside thee
