SEEKING HIS FACE

 




Some days, Father, I cannot bear,

The absence of Your touch.

I cannot wait for Your embrace

That I have missed so very much.

 

In this abyss of worldly darkness

I stumble but I fall into the arms of Him

Who lifts me higher than I can go.

 

I fly to You, Father, on my wings of faith,

I sail through stormy skies,

Seeking for Thy face.

Look Father, no hands!

Only trust in these strong arms

Of my Saviour’s loving grace.

THE VICTORY

 



As Golgotha raged and tore

Your flesh without mercy

The Garden sprang anew,

As from every drop You spilt

New flowers came into bloom.

How pitiful the cross that claimed You

Not knowing it sent a God to a

Darkened tomb!

THE ONE

 



He is my Sovereign,

He is the king of all kings,

He is my wings of protection,

He is my everything.

MY EVERYTHING

 




I looked up to You

When in my beginning.

I saw Your strength,

Your care, Your undying love,

And I knew only You

Could make up for what

I alone could not do.

 

You are my Shepherd,

You are my King,

You are my Holy Grail,

You are my everything.

HOW GREAT THOU ART

 



How commendably patient Thou art

With the slow progress of

My proud heart;

How great Thy wisdom,

How great Thy mercy,

How great Thy love

That fills my joyful heart;

How very great Thou art!

AT CALVARY

 



Today as I communed with Thee

You took me all the way to Calvary.

My heart stood still, the lessons came,

And taught me what in words I could not name.

I bow the knee and in thanks ascend to Thee

For all I learnt at Calvary.

RIVER OF MY TEARS

 




You seemed so far away,
My hope of rescue grew into fears,
Oh how my heart rejoiced
When I found You
 in the river of my tears!

ETERNAL JOY

 





When my days on earth are done

I’ll be lifted above the world below

And I will seek the gilded gate

To welcome me to my eternal home.

 

I will approach the foot of Father’s throne,

I will kneel and I will weep

When in hope I give Him joy

For eternity to keep.

BRINGING THEM HOME

 




See Father,

I brought home the sheep!

I did all that I could

To save them in my keep.

 

They come to You Father

In whose arms they belong,

They come to You,

Whom they loved all along.

WILLING TO GIVE

 


All that is unspoken

And all that is unseen

All that I feel

In the depths of my soul

I long to give to Thee.

 

And all that You ask of me

And all that I am

I will place

On the altar of sacrifice

for Thee.

 

I give You my all

Because a heart

Can give no more.

HE HEARS ME

 




He hears me when in the

Solitude of my darkest nights

On Him I call.

 

He hears me when in silence

My heart tries to hide

My fears that I might fall.

 

He hears me when in crowds

My mind wanders and doubts

Begin their insidious call.

 

He hears me whether

I cry to Him or not

Because He knows my very soul,

He knows it all.
