Because you
Loved me
And gave me life, you
Comfort me in times of strife, you show
Kindness to this wretched soul
Although this heart is BLACK as coal.
Now with freedom in the game, I
Don't doubt you'll call my name
Wanting something more for me,
How great you are to create my destiny.
I am so small, you have so much might,
The choice to live for you is as
Easy as BLACK AND WHITE.

Message in a Bottle
Not a whisper, but a rush,
My soul is forcefully and delicately touched
By the wind Your presence blows,
It calls and says "It's you I chose."
It reminds me that each grain of sand
Was placed there by His mighty hand,
That each wave that topples before my eyes
Is counted in the heavenly skies.
It teaches me to appreciate
The warmth of the sun and how it creates
A unique type of atmosphere
With strangers and friends that we hold dear.
It sweeps me up and lets me fly
Soaring with God and leaping I try
To grasp one glimpse of his amazing plan
Which all started with the death of one man.
It brings a sorrowful realization
That i am guilty of all my charged accusations,
Not worthy to be associated with Your family ties
Where the definition of togetherness was born to thrive.
But then I look at all Your creations
Placed specifically across different nations
And think it's an extraordinary way to grab our attention
And pull us back into Your perfect mission.
Teach me LORD and prepare Your way
As I go through living each special day,
With each breath I sigh I pray for Your presence,
I want to be the one who gives off Your essence.

No More Me
A sweeping rush of thoughts anew,
Ideas of seeing more of you.
Climb a tree or hike a mountain,
Receiving strength from your life fountain.
The end prize is all I see,
Running faster, set me free.
How bad do we want it is the question,
Let Your goals be our obsession.
Reaching higher, faster, stronger,
I don't want selfish ambitions any longer.
Jesus come and take my dreams,
Show us how to use them for thee.
I'll take a risk like the tax collector,
And let You be my life director.

Keep Thinking
Away 200 miles
I can hear you smile
Your thoughts carry thru the wind
Reach me, and pick me up again.
Keep thinking
Keep smiling
Cause without you it might take a while
To find myself again.
Your heart pounds a rhythmic beat
And finds my soul so incomplete
Pour and mold your whispers through me
Sweep me up and show me gently.
Keep thinking
Keep smiling
Cause without you it might take a while
To find myself again.
From start to end your presence grows,
Looking forward, it never slows.
Take me, break me, show me how,
Leave me with consuming sound.

Creation Part Three
In the expanse of a week
You created the heavens and the earth
Beautifully Composed creations
Reflect their designer and His worth
You set up the organization of nature
And all that it entails
So we can see your invisible qualities
And know that you prevail
So in return every knee will bow
To confess that you are King
And your eternal power is shown
Through the wonders of all things
With love you give us the delicate flowers
That thrive in the open fields
So that in response we may gaze upon you
And to your love we'll yield
Your imagination went into
Every human being that will ever walk this ground
You see what we do, know what we think,
And hear every little sound
You created us to worship you
And along the journey will find
That your love is so much greater
Because you are the glory divine
So thank you Lord for showing us love
Through the creation of all men
And thank you for loving us
When we're wrapped up in our sin
You are Holy Lord, the God of my being,
To righteousness may I endeavor
I, your creation, a member of your family,
Will praise you Lord forever

Creation Part Two
God swept up the dust and formed
the figure of a man
Exhaled the breath of life from within
And gave animation to this body of sand
You placed into the garden
This man that now has a soul
Where in this place, over all creatures,
Would have his own control.
But soon found out he felt incomplete
And needed a helper he could not find
So God put him into a deep sleep
To create what he had in mind
God removed a rib from man's body
And used it as a tool
To make Adam's other half,
So together they could rule.
Adam named her Woman
For she was created from His bone
Taken out of man, given to man
So he wont be alone.
Adam and Eve made home in Eden
Where they could eat from every tree
Except from the tree of knowledge of good and evil,
And if they did, they would no longer be free
They chose to eat the fruit anyway
And from the garden they were forbidden,
Their punishment was labor and pain
And from God they could not keep this hidden
Yet He chose to still give us life
Through his mercy and everlasting love
This design of the body so intricate and detailed
Could only be a gift of the One who is above

Creation Part One
Your spirit hovered over the void
Where your creation would soon reside
Now only formless surrounded in shadow
Your existence and reality collide
You speak illumination into the vast wonders
Light filling up the vacant space
Separation resulting in night and day
The first completion was now set into place
You spoke an expanse between all the waters
Creating the formation of the sky
And upward nature looks to admire your beauty
Where your love is an endless supply
The appearance of land and all vegetation
Apart from the newly formed sea
Suggests a designer with immense imagination
And aims at a higher deity
Decorations hanging on the walls of the galaxy
Shinning to help lead the way
The sun and the moon in different territories
To give the earth night and day
The waters teem with creatures of the sea
And birds soar majestically in the air
Increasing in number, according to their kinds
"It is good" God did declare
Livestock and all creatures that belong on the ground
Are set into their classifications
Then formation of man in your very own image
Truly your greatest creation
You take a step bake to admire your work
And conclude that it's time to rest
Now the 7th day, everything was so good
Through creation you surely will be blessed.
