Song: Lead me

You taught the ocean to take its first breath
And it makes wave to a rhythm pleasing you
You spoke your will into the ears of trees
And now they produce leaves

You gave fantastic motivation to birds
To learn how to fly even when
they fall to the ground the first time
Now open these wings of mine
And ask me to fly
But in your will not mine

So Lead me
Emptying my heart
Of my own motivation
Lead me
To share your love
With every action
You are holier
Than my mist of a life
Take me and make me
Yours

New Song: You Save Me from myself

You are godliness
Live through me
Let my actions show
Bear fruit in me
Help me give your love away
An the knowledge that's in my soul
You're in control

You within me
Is more than I could ever deserve
Your actions in my life
What a merciful God
I'm filled with humility
how you do this for me!
You save me from myself

Your promises are kept
Fill me with faith
I know this life's better than my selfish desires
Your goodness through me
Redefines the best I can be
You fill me

New Songs

These psat two weeks have been academically, mentally, and emotionally busy, but God has continued to remind me to walk on His path, and take time for myself and time for Him. I am continually blessed with the God awesome Gift to write music as worship for God. I think the coolest thing that has made the biggest impact is the fact that I've been learning and growing from the words that I write. God has been providing lyrics that both express how I feel and challenge me. These two new songs, which have been written in the past two weeks, express my love, my need, and my growth in my relationship with Christ. I know that I cannot do anything by myself, that it is with God's mercy that my life is the way it is, and I'm firmly thankful of it.

I will keep walking
Standing firm, believing
I know this path this faith is true
I will keep holding
Onto this hope
Love must surround me
As I walk down this path

My God, My light,
I will dance in your footsteps
As I keep learning the way you move
And I'm not much of a dancer
But you lead so well
I know I'll go wherever you will

I used to long for fullness, Holiness
Christ you are my promise,
Salvation is satisfied
For Christ fully understands
Reprimands darkness
You are my strength

My God, My light,
I will dance in your footsteps
As I keep learning the way you move
And I'm not much of a dancer
But you lead so well
I know I'll go wherever you will me to go

We're now of one mind
Breathe in, Slow down
Soak in the Son
He'll guide every move
Let your light shine
The Father's in you
He'll lead you wherever he wills.

New Song #2
I have peace surrounding me
Your trust is clear I don't need anything
I have true love in my soul
My God has filled my heart full

Before I had you inside of me
My empty heart tried empty love
But you grow beauty from nothing
You dwell in me, you make me beautiful

Your freedom is within me
New life is your gift to me
And it's not about me,
You are holy, holy!
Now it's your breath I breathe
It's your words I speak
Your love loving out of me
You are holy, holy!

You are my God who provides
I don't need any love besides
The truth, the promises
Are fulfilled, you fulfill me.
