Light is wrapped around You as a garment, and so darkness flees before You
Look, God, at my heart
Gaze at my face and burn darkness from me
Wrap Your light upon me
Make me Holy as You are Holy
Blind my eyes to the darkness of this world
Behold me purely in Your light
Open my eyes and pour into them Your beauty
Pour Your Holiness into my soul and change me, Lord
Tear myself from me, and remake me by Your design
Touch every part of me, let me see Your heart's purpose in each moment
Let me see deeper, deeper into Your heart, Jesus, for You are Holy
Build into me the mystery, that through me You could begin to be revealed
Consume my heart, Lord, with Your fire, the flame of Your life
For I want completely to know You, with all that I am
Deeper, fuller, more completely to know You

Take Jesus || 2009.10.16
Take Jesus in you and take Jesus with you. Abandon not a moment of your life to absence from His Glorious face. Fix fast your gaze to His, that your heart be never torn away, and your vision be etched with the reality of Him so that the shape and lines of His Glory would possess your vision and no counterfeit could stand in its lie before you. Capture each moment in the endurance of His love that it would change you. His Love's goodness would change you until the final day of our Lord for His glory and for His praise.

Hangin with my Jesus! || 2009.10.13
Having taken up the cross
Now hung between the earth and sky
Hanging with my Jesus
Righteously we are here
To receive what we are worth
Hanging with my Jesus
Seeing He indeed is just
In suffering witness to His death
Hanging with my Jesus
Now to enter into His glory
With Him who is now living
Hanging with my Jesus
To be not troubled
Or clouded with doubt in my heart
Hanging with my Jesus
Salvation is here
And He loves me - knows my name
Hanging with my Jesus
Glorious Jesus
Let me listen to you at your feet
Hanging with My Jesus

What Do I Have || 2009.10.08
Jesus reign in all the earth.
High and lifted up in our hearts.
His name is to be praised forever.
Jesus King and Lord over all,
You come washing over me
with waves of Your love.
You are enduring,
holy and pure.
Your breath is more beautiful
than the worlds greatest diamonds.
Your essence supreme
above all ever-given offerings.
You are greater than the seraph
for they bow before You.
The highest of angels
bow down in Your presence.
What is this?
That You call me to stand?
What do I posess
that You want me for Your own?
Oh, yes...
You formed me with your fingers
in the darkness of the womb.
You fashioned me from next to nothing
but hung on my cross bleeding,
and gave to me your all.
I gained your inheritance,
Your glory, Your Power, Your dominion.
But still I choose to bow,
cast any crown I am given
to Your feet.
You alone are exalted,
and still You gather me.

The Depths of His Love || 2009.10.05
God has no peer
God has no equal
No one is like Him
Holy is who He is
And He calls us
He beckons to us
To catch our eye
To capture our gaze
In His Holiness
He loves us
We have captured his heart
And He calls us to Himself
To descend from what I've made me
To rise from the place He was slain
Together to find His love
Raptured in His peace
No more living
in empty flattery
or aspiration
No more living
without true love
Living within His circle
Living in His embrace
Knowing lostness
in the depths of His love

He Is This || 2009.09.29
What is this consuming fire?
which burns away the "me"
I have surrounded myself with?
Who is this One
who answers by fire,
consuming wood, water, stone, and earth?
Who is this King of Glory?
Who is this king who consumes,
engulfing His enemies?
Who is this, whom the highest angels
burn to adore?
He is my King
He is to me
to wrap my heart around Him!
He is worthy!
He is faithful!
God, heal my eyes
my desires, my light!
Cleanse me whole
and pure before you!
Rain your Glory upon
like never felt before!
Lord, You are my King
You are to me
to wrap my heart around You!
You are unquestionably worthy!
You are unwaveringly faithful!
Jesus
By You I am righteous,
By Your blood I am cleansed,
By Your love am I forgiven.
It is in You that I am truly thankful.
