Unique, Engrafted into the Vine

Unique, engrafted into the vine
Caring father, that is mine
Renewed mind, advancing song
Beloved, beheld, made to belong
Becoming dawn, where shadows flee
Emitting peace so gracefully
Presence, purpose, soul awake
Beyond ourselves, a choice to take
Surrounding shield will fortify
You cleanse, restore and purify
Captured mind, enabled wise
A glorious eternal prize
Your strong hand is filled with might
Fill my thoughts with your insight
Begotten...

Awakened Living
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/awakened-living
Allotted time, of varied season
Child of virtue, child of reason
To tell of all your miracles
Be lead beyond all obstacles
Of such decrees, humble and just
Of noble measure, that I trust
The splendour of your holiness
Gloried shine of faithfulness
Where trouble finds, I am concealed
Of living lands, your truth revealed
From the throne, you will observe
Just rewards that we deserve
Guided forth, directed steps
Faithful guide, our Lord...

Hallelujah to the King
Verse 1
Give God the glory, give God the glory
He orchestrates, the creator of days
Ever so faithful, ever so faithful
He draws me closer to his ways
Chorus
Restoring hopefulness from within
Bringing freedom from all sin
Of all those lost and found to bring
Sing hallelujah to the king
Verse 2
Lord of forgiveness, Lord of forgiveness
Cleansed and renewed, seeking righteousness
Sovereign helper, sovereign helper
Drawn beyond fear, founding new boldness
Chorus
Verse 3

Tranquil Tempest
https://soundcloud.com/user-921599710/tranquil-tempest
Twas a stormy night
O’ tormented waves
Across the Sea of Galilee
Sweeping storms of surfaces spread
Tempestuous tempest, torrential rain
Of fear again, several sailors, fearful men
A gushing wave, to break the side
Visions of a sinking ship
Such stifled disciples
Their master still asleep
Lain down in tranquil rest
Such measures of a test
A cause to then arise, he opened up his eyes
They of little faith
Words spoken, of winds rendered still
Of tempest...

A Time to Heal
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/a-time-to-heal
The sick crippled and blind, of troubled waters to find
Aside the Sabbath rule, walked Jesus by the pool
Affliction thus pervade, to rest nearby the shade
Of varied people sat, yet laid upon the mat
The healing then began, a poor and crippled man
A statement did foretell, to walk and then be well
To spring and rise alone, to start towards his home
Of miracles revered, for Christ had disappeared
Religious Jews within, accusing him of sin
A command to walk away, presently...

What on Earth am I Here For?
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/what-on-earth-am-i-here-for
Since I was created for such a time as this
What on earth am I here for, before eternal bliss?
Let the weight of your calling, bring greatness out of me
The epitome of Christ, is what I care to be
With your divine purpose, evoked into your plan
Your perfect craftsmanship, made with your mighty hand
Spiritually lead me, with fresh waters anew
Let your holy spirit, guide me in what I do
In accordance with your blueprint, my purpose I will seek

John the Baptist
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/john-the-baptist-new
A sole preacher of the wilderness
To thus attest, the Lord’s word
Of numbers great, from lands afar
Would flock to him
To the river Jordan with baptizing
A righteous man, John the Baptist
Of whom would practice, righteous ways
To tell the people, flee from sin
To warn them of a coming king
A worthy man, much greater than him
Yet Pharisees and Sadducees could not appease
Nor make-believe, of apparent good
For turn away from solemn sin
Of God’s kingdom, enter...

Ordained Love
There is a bountiful harvest, enriched with all love
Where the mysteries of life connect from above
A season of promise, with rivers that flow
From the highest mountain, to the waters below
Abound in all joy, with reverence divine
Proceed to the place where souls intertwine
A threefold cord, yet two souls unite
With endless love, to the Father's delight
An enchanted rose, be granted to thee
Your dearly beloved, embraced splendidly
A foundation in God, a new gift of peace
A trust in his will, where all doubt will cease
...

One
The one who stands beyond compare
Evolving days of which to share
Of whom I call to reminisce
Allied shoulder greatest bliss
Depths of all transparency
Of cares transferred especially
Leading steps of harmony
Gazes fixed observably
Seeketh not, that which was found
Tested time of ways abound
Dearest truly, purposed for
Sailed me forth beyond the shore
As the other significantly
Won my heart victoriously
If ever there was a love that's true
Of such I always found in you

A New-Born King
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/a-new-born-king
A prominent star, far to the east
A symbol of peace, to wise men of three
Beyond such a journey, the awaiting of a new-born King
To follow the star, that they might worship him
Yet aside from their quest, puzzled, perplexed
That of King Herod, afore thy detest
Chief priests and scribes, an enquired gathering
Herod to protect his beloved throne
A diligent search toward Bethlehem
To advise wise men, to seek out the child
Such shadows of night upon the land
From city gates,...

A Heavenly Visit
A Jewess of Nazareth, city of Galilee
Alongside Joseph, soon to be espoused
Descendants of David, humbly poor
Calibre in carpentry, provide for his bride
To Mary an angel would arrive
Words of the angel Gabriel, she will bring forth a son
A sovereign Saviour of the world
Mary blessed and highly favoured
To bear the chosen one, both ruler and King
Yet surprising, afar woman of old
Elizabeth of Judah, a promise to unfold
For she would soon be with child too
Nothing...

On That Day
Verse 1
A divine design, a will aligned, of joy so wonderful
Sent from above, a mirror of, love unconditional
Set apart, reserved, a soulful merge, I know such fruit is rare
A vineyard with, such blossoming, His providential care
Chorus
He thought of me, he thought of you
Blessings of a season, that only God could do
And on that day, faithfully
My whole life had changed
Verse 2
A special place, of majestic grace, I bring my loyalty
Oneness of soul, with a purposed goal, radiating royalty
In him abide, stood by your...
