for me, some of the inspirational times of connecting with God has been through music. i've been trying to put thoughts and music together for a few years by myself and with others. for the "with others" part, check out the history for ripe september page (sorry to certain fans, nothing on the web for the big ugly fish...). feel free to check out the lyrics to these two smaller projects that i've put together. thoughts 8.02, 12.02 i wait for the Lord my King direction #4 patience couch i don't know tomorrow friend song be assured hopes and fears 2.01 rainy day child secure (when i find my name) pacific shelter (psalm 27) juliet summertime i wait for the Lord psalm 130 the Lord is my full redemption my full satisfaction my heart is secure i will have no fear and the Lord delights in showing mercy He will have compassion He’s the only unfailing love He is my shepherd i wait for the Lord my souls waits i put my hope in His word my soul waits more than watchmen wait for the morning more than watchmen wait for the morning my king romans 12:11-12 Jesus, You are my king You are my hope and i will praise You Jesus, You are my love You are my joy and i will serve You with my voice i will sing with my life i will bring glory to Your name You are worthy and i commit myself to try to serve You today direction (#4) hebrews 3:15 this world is loud with pride and anyone can define what’s right we’re not quite sure what to find and so we seek for whatever may satisfy and i’m in between somewhere in the noise of the fall i wonder if i hear the call Lord help me see through it all there are voices everywhere there are voices i don’t know what i hear there are voices everywhere there are voices-- help me to hear You help me to hear You i know i’ve been confused and so again i’m starting out new and i will listen for truth in the still small voice You use and when i hear His voice may i not harden my heart rather respond to the call pray i respond to it all so many things calling which is mine so many directions do i need to decide Lord help me see through it all, respond to it all patience micah 7:7 patience the green grass the still air and nothing moves peace i feel a faint breeze blow through my shirt but thoughts of discontent tempt my idle mind but there is so much i have pray with a friend a hug from behind singing alone singing together joy laughter hope and a future the chaos of creation seems to settle on my lap i know He is with me friend song 1 john 4:7 i was going to write a song with lots of pretty words you would all feel so lovely because i sing so lovely but it wouldn’t mean anything no it wouldn’t mean anything, anything if i didn’t mean anything i didn’t mean anything so instead i’ll sing a song without much more than what i’m really feeling i’ll sing a song and this, this is the meaning: you’re my friend that’s what you are to me my friend so together we have a song together we can sing along to the tune – it is so lovely love given and received freely one source, one God, one love this is our meaning it all has roots up above and we here we see it’s leading cause you’re my friend couch song of songs 8:4 lonely sitting alone on my couch trying to figure these feelings out who i am, who i should be and my juliet—where is she? is there something i should be doing differently? and what i know is i need to trust and wait she’s there somewhere out there a grand scheme plotted out by one God the one to pull it all together and sometime we’ll say it’s very good only me my fear and my security to go beyond is so risky who i am, who i should be said erikson – that’s the way it may be is there something i could be doing differently? i don’t know tomorrow matthew 6:25-34 i don’t know tomorrow i don’t even know today but because my God’s faithful i wouldn’t have it any other way we tend to worry we tend to be afraid that whatever’s next in our lives might not go as we planned there’s a solution there’s a way to find peace cast all your anxiety on Him and feel the release look at the birds up there they do not sow or reap yet the Father feeds them do you understand that He cares so much more for you seek first the kingdom and He will bless you be assured friend bring your emptiness and look into life this world is more than fear there’s a hope and peace when nothing seems right offered freely in Christ and if the future just doesn’t seem clear you’re not sure of the path you should choose trust in the Lord and he’ll follow through He has something amazing for you may the Father smile within you satisfy you and bring rest giving joy in all that you do be assured that you are blessed be assured that you are blessed brother your criticism has captured you that’s just the easier way why not embrace all the things that are good and where we still fail we can pray sister your tenderness can find healing in the arms of the Lord you have much comfort that you could share that’s what so many long for |
