I hope
I hope it is you
my love
I hope it is you
through the years
the distance
I hope my love
for you
may be realized
I hope it is you
You are my desire
You are the one
I hope will come
around
no matter where we are
no matter what we do
You are the one
I hope and pray
it is true
You are the one
I hope
beyond
all hopes
to be in your arms
to be enraptured
by your love
I hope
You are the one
created
just for me!!!
(Dedicated to the Amazing Man of God who will be my future husband. God is in the process of preparing us for each other. No matter where we are, or how much time we are apart, nothing is too hard for God—He has given me my single years as a gift to love and serve him, to reach out and love those I teach and work with no matter how difficult they may be because they matter. He has given me these years, so that HE can speak tenderly to my heart and love me the way only HE can. When the time is right, HE will do what HE had planned in the relationship area of my life. Praise be to Him no matter what, whether I am single as I am now, or in a relationship with the one my heart loves who will eventually be my future husband.)

It is YOU
It is you
who I live for
It is you
who I breathe for
because you gave me life
It is you
I can depend on
when all else falls apart
It is you
that I love
with all of my heart
It is you
my soul
will never depart
It is you LORD Jesus
It is YOU!!!
I keep coming back to you
I keep coming back to you
and all that you have done
I keep coming back to
your love
for you have drawn me to you
I keep coming back to you
for you always fight for me
I keep coming back to you
because you tell me to be still
I keep coming back to you
because I know
my relationship with you
is real
oh, so real
I keep coming back to you
because you fill me
with such joy
I keep coming back to you
because I can be honest
and I can trust in you
I keep coming back
because I want more
so much more
of you
dear LORD
It is you, I keep coming back to!!!
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless (Psalm 84:11); One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple (Psalm 27:4).”

Desire’s Grip
Desire grips everyone
but only few
have the courage
to step out
to go forward
to take the next step
and see it through
Desire grips everyone
but
with out this courage
Desire though still there
will slowly fade
until
it is awakened
and a new chance
springs forth
Desire grips everyone
What will you do?
Do you have the courage to fight,
to not lose this desire?
Desire grips everyone
some run and hide
and sit idly by
but may soon regret the choice
they made
others, though
will choose to let this desire
take them through life’s twists
and turns
joys and trials
and they will be stronger
they will be more alive
desire grips everyone
What will you do?
How will you choose to live?
Do not lose your desire!!!
Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).”

Nothing Compares
Nothing compares
to falling more in love with you
so much in love
everyday
because of the many things you have done
and will do
Nothing compares
to the greatness
of knowing you
so dear
to live justly
to love mercy
to walk humbly
with you
Nothing compares
It is you who is greater
greater than all
and in you I will trust
trust with my all
Nothing compares
to you
my LORD
Nothing compares!!!
“But whatever was to my profit, I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my LORD….(Philippians 3:7-8).”
Treasures!!!
What are these treasures in heaven, LORD?
I really want to know
to see just a glimpse
of all that is to come
if I am faithful
if I just believe
if I trust you with my all
What are these treasures, LORD?
It is you I long for
with my heart, mind, and soul!!!

My Prayer
Empty me
and fill me
with you
speak tenderly to me
and help me to listen, dear LORD
I want more
so much more
of you
I love you
Amen!!!
It seems like…
It seems like I have known you
known you my whole life
Your smile and your eyes
they light up with no disguise
It seems like I have known you
you have a heart of gold
and a faith that I admire
It seems like I have known you

This is what I want God to do…
I have fallen in love with this song by Chris Sligh because it is exactly what I want God to do in my life. There is way too much crud in this world, that I want to be closer, so much closer to Him. That is in fact, the only way to live!!!
I’ve had just enough
Of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
I’ve tasted my share
Of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds onto
Lord, empty me of me so I can be filled with You
I’ve seen just enough
Of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change
‘Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, compared to You
‘Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, so I surrender all
Speechless
Sometimes I am speechless
I cannot say a word
I wish I could write more
but I cannot
so I wait for your Holy word
I am speechless in your presence
speechless because of your existence
and your realness in my life
I am speechless
because I cannot comprehend
your vastness
your power
it is too great for my mind to contend
I am speechless
when I think of you
and the many things you do
I am speechless
in your presence LORD
and there I will reside
as I am speechless
in so many wonderful ways
you really know what lies
deep down in my heart
as I am drawn closer to you
I know I will not depart
I am speechless!!!
