The Lord's Prayer
The LORD is waiting
For you to come to heaven
Go and be at peace
The door to heaven
Stands open waiting for you
Go be comforted
You shall see the way
As we pray the Lord's prayer
Go and be with God
You now lay in peace
For you have breathed your last breath
As we say Amen
For you to come to heaven
Go and be at peace
The door to heaven
Stands open waiting for you
Go be comforted
You shall see the way
As we pray the Lord's prayer
Go and be with God
You now lay in peace
For you have breathed your last breath
As we say Amen

Overwhelmed
I am overwhelmed
With unbearable anguish
For the loss of love
He stood by my side
For many years in this life
And now he is gone
I am overwhelmed
With unspeakable comfort
For the LORD is near
He stands by my side
And he will never leave me
For his love remains
With unbearable anguish
For the loss of love
He stood by my side
For many years in this life
And now he is gone
I am overwhelmed
With unspeakable comfort
For the LORD is near
He stands by my side
And he will never leave me
For his love remains

Spiritual Battle
heavenly beings
holy ones rose to defend
the kingdom of God
against the dragon
and his fallen followers
all were defeated
place in heaven gone
together they were thrown down
forever earth bound

Where Are You
Where are you O God
Whose back has been turned
for I am looking
But I do not see your face
I am seeking
But I cannot find your presence
Where are you O God
Where are you O God
Whose back has been turned
For I am waiting to hear you speak
But I do not notice a sound
I am listening for your voice
But I do not recognize your word
Where are you O God
Where are you my dear child
For all I see is your back
Turn to me
So that you may see my face
And you may hear my word
The sight of your eyes...
Whose back has been turned
for I am looking
But I do not see your face
I am seeking
But I cannot find your presence
Where are you O God
Where are you O God
Whose back has been turned
For I am waiting to hear you speak
But I do not notice a sound
I am listening for your voice
But I do not recognize your word
Where are you O God
Where are you my dear child
For all I see is your back
Turn to me
So that you may see my face
And you may hear my word
The sight of your eyes...

Restoration
One who cries out to me shall be heard
A listening ear awaits your words
Seek me and you will find me
Here I am
Cry out to me
Let loose and do not hold back
Allow a tear to fall
And it shall be wiped away
with a soft tender touch of a hand
Here I am
Reach out to me
for loving arms await to embrace you
Allow your ears to hear
For comforting words shall be spoken
And your heart shall no longer be broken
A listening ear awaits your words
Seek me and you will find me
Here I am
Cry out to me
Let loose and do not hold back
Allow a tear to fall
And it shall be wiped away
with a soft tender touch of a hand
Here I am
Reach out to me
for loving arms await to embrace you
Allow your ears to hear
For comforting words shall be spoken
And your heart shall no longer be broken

Dear Child of Mine
Dear child of Mine,
You are beautiful,

Word of Deceit
Out of anger the enemy curses the Name above all names
For he knows that his time is near
His hatred is stirred
and his curses can be heard
For he knows that his time is near
And he looks to cause fear
In all of those that the Name above all names hold dear
The word of deceit can be heard
to come and dwell in the desires of the flesh
The word of deceit can be heard
That time remains for me to lust
before I return to dust
The word of deceit can be heard
to leave the Father's side
But by me he...
For he knows that his time is near
His hatred is stirred
and his curses can be heard

to leave the Father's side

The Word Speaks
As I walk the straight and narrow path
I come upon a river
It is there to quench my thirst
So I stop to drink
and feed upon the Word
I begin to hear the birds make melody
As they lay nestled in the surrounding trees
Beautiful, beautiful is the sound
I begin to sing
Giving glory to my God and King
Beautiful, beautiful is the sound
The Word speaks
And I receive my fill
As I lay still
bowed before the LORD
My heart confesses
You are the one true God and King
The Word speaks
And I receive my fill ...

Jesus Calls
Jesus calls
Who will listen?
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Come and follow me
And I will set you free
No more suffering will there be
For I gave my life at Calvary
So that you may live eternally
The life you live
Live for me
You walked in darkness
But now you have seen the Light
The darkness no longer has a hold on you
For I gave my life at Calvary
And have set you free
Your sin has been atoned for
...

Bride
You have said that it is better to remain single
but you have graciously given me my bride
some time has since passed
allowing troubles to rise
and anger to stir
destructive words have been spoken
and hearts have been broken
but I remain thankful
for my love for my bride
has withstood this troublesome tide
time shall carry on
allowing peace to rise
and love to stir
affectionate words shall flow forth
allowing the heart to lay bare
all that it dare
time shall carry on
and peace shall rise
love shall stir...
