God wants you to know that He sees you  He hears your cries even the ones in the dark You are never alone cuz He’s right there with you Knows your deepest of thoughts and fears He holds you in His arms near to His heart Your tears are collected by Him in a bottle He keeps track of the sorrow you go through He wipes away every tear from your eyes Near to you when you are broken-hearted Experiences every ache and pain with you Replaces your tears with shouts of joy Brings healing to your brokenness and pain Fills you with newness of life and purpose And one day soon we will go back home In heaven there will be absolutely no tears There will only be joy, peace and the Lord Feasting, dancing, and celebrating for eternity Worshipping and praising our God forevermore  Read Psalms 56:8,  Psalms 126:5

You want to romance me Call me to dance with you You say you're taken with me And I reach my hands to you I’m stuck in mediocre and enjoy the middle of the road Lost my passion for pursuing and held back by something else Let the world cut into our dance and push us away from the dance floor Dreaming of fairytale romances and reading about them in books But I don't want to pretend the romance isn't mine to have I'm starting to hear the music drawing me in I desire to be romanced and to dance with You my King And here You are calling me by name to join You Hands out all I have to do to is grab hold I will be swept off my feet and dance the night away Try to drop the act that I don't wanna dance Time to take a deep breath and jump on in Here goes nothing Lord take me away Ready to let loose and fall deeper in love with You Let's do this and show the world what it's missing  Here I am dancing with you Let

I am standing in the crowd and I see You hanging on the cross In my sin and shame I mock alongside the others I am ashamed of myself because my sin put You there Tears well up in my eyes as I see unconditional love displayed How can my God die such a brutal death for me What love and mercy that You’d take my place Who am I that You would do that for me for the world I am broken and torn as I see you nailed to the cross Hanging up there struggling to breathe each breath Your back torn to bits and organs exposed Each breath getting harder than the last one Blood flowing from the crown of thorns placed in mockery Being spit on and jeered at with men throwing lots for Your clothes And yet even so You ask God to forgive them My human sized brain can’t fathomed that kind of love Brutally dying so slowly as Your Spirit was lifted up to Heaven But that’s not where the story ends death didn’t win You defeated the grave and death once and for all Givin

Thank you Lord for the life you gave for me You are my Savior and my redeemer Rescued me from the grip of sin My sins are washed away in Your blood I live to worship you with my life Laying down any right that I ever had All I want is my life to bring you fame You chose me before the beginning of time Called me out of the pit I was stuck in Washed me clean in Your saving grace Removed the chains from my hands Allowed me to be free because of the cross Gave me a chance to be resurrected with you So I could be Your child and a part of Your plan You are the reason I am alive and free Here's my heart I lay it down for your glory

Let us be the church that can’t be silenced For we have been given mouths to speak out the truth Our lives are meant to declare Your goodness And to be vessels that are poured out for You Let us be the people who raise Your banner high For the King sits on the throne with all power He is mighty and just and reigns on high For He has never failed no not even once He is faithful to fulfill every promise He’s made His love fully abounds and is unconditional So how can we not sing and dance in that joy How can we not shout it at every opportunity Boldness flows as He reminds us of our salvation This life is just a moment a blink and then it’s gone Heaven awaits the children of God and wants you too Do you know Him and His abundant grace and mercy It’s not too late it doesn’t matter what you’ve done Jesus died in your place to cover all sins He wants your good your bad and your ugly Come as you are He is waiting for you with arms spread Will you

Jesus I breathe You in and I breathe me out I am reminded of my short comings and my doubt Wanting all of You and none of me In Your arms alone I find my strength to be For my actions and motives are flawed But in the waves of Your joy I am caught I am reminded of Your love that overflows I am loved by You even though You know From the depth of my hearts I am sinful I can do no good and its just that simple No matter what I do I am selfish and heartless In Your perfection You pulled me out of darkness Took my place covered my sins with Your perfect blood Replaced death with life surround me with peace and love You choose to lavish me with blessings instead of death Went to the cross saved me when You gave up Your last breath I lay down all rights and lay down my over needy pride Allow You full control and full say over every part of my life I can do all things through Your strength and not my own Give it all back to you I want Your will and my

Do you know Him? The God who created the heavens and the earth. Do you know Him? The God who created every part of you. Do you know Him? The God who sent His Son Jesus to die in your place. Do you know Him? The God who made heaven a place you can go to. Do you know Him? The God who wants you to spend eternity with Him. Do you know Him? The God who loves you unconditionally just because Do you know Him? The God who is calling you into His family. Do you know Him? The God that stirring in Your heart right now Look I can't sit back or stay quiet any longer because God is calling you and wants you He hears your cries, your pains, and your struggles He wants to bring peace and healing to the parts of your life that feel empty, hopeless and without change He sent His a Son Jesus to this world to suffer in your place He died the most brutal death on a cross and you were on His mind when He did Jesus did not stay dead but rose again to defeat death We are not per

Stay fixed on Jesus keep your eyes on Him It's so easy to wander and we are prone to do so Allow yourself to surrender to set your sights on Jesus Let your treasure be found in Him and your heart will follow Stand your ground and dig your heels in Invest yourself in the things God has for you Place your heart in your hands and hand it back to God Let Him hold your heart and He'll keep it safe Pursue God with the intention to win the prize of eternal life It's waiting for you at the finish line But you got to keep your eyes focused on Jesus Stay the course stick to the path keep the faith The rewards are worth the pursuit of Him So don't lose hope give up or stop moving But run with endurance and don't lose sight of Him Seek Him as if your life depended on it cuz it does He has never stopped seeking you and finding you Do not ever stop seeking or throw in the towel Keep Jesus as your focused point of reference Life is going

Humbly approach His throne and lay myself down Burdened with sin and guilt it's weighing me down I repent and I feel the weight falling at my side Blood covers my sins and I am clothed in white No longer a slave to my past my present my sin Through victory in Christ I am a new creation again I lift my eyes and I see grace and mercy flow And I see love poured out and continue to grow My Savior with nail scars on His hands and His feet He says that these marks are of love for me I can barely breathe or comprehend His love But He has defeated death and sin it is done Took my place when I deserved the admission to hell But I saw the love of Christ and in love I fell Brought back to life no longer feeling death inside He offered me salvation and a ticket to eternal life How could I say no to this undeserving love and grace He loved me before I loved Him or even knew His face I stand in freedom with broken chains by my feet Cuz Christ's deat
