Battlefield

The wind is cold, but the sun is warm
My joy is Jesus through the battle
The day is His as is the night
God has broken every arrow
The peace that passes understanding
Will fix my eyes, assure the prize
The truth from He who always sees me
Will guide my every step
The hope of promises fulfilling
Will fill me up, overrun my cup
My God, He trains my heart for victory
My weapon is His Word
I’m armed by faith in what is unseen
Leaning on the One I love
Strong; Fear is but a mem’ry
Triumph’s trumpets sing!
And while I run I know relief will come
My flesh’s martyrdom has started new life
The battle hurts while we are here on earth
But every scar is joy on heaven’s side

Creation Sings
03:31
|

The shuffling of the blue pine,
swaying in the breeze
Against the colors of the sunlight
streaking through the trees
Beetles scramble through the grass
Eagles soar through mountain crags
Wonders only One could bring -
Creation sings.
Soft, soft, sweet eyes,
dimples, freckled nose
Crinkle in a pink smile,
glistening teeth in rows
Graceful ballerina twirls
Twilight dirt fights, muddy curls
Chatter, cries, and laughter ring
Creation sings.
There’s a cost to open eyes
Knowledge challenged, shifted truth
This is certain, faith by sight
We’re without excuse
The Lord is on His high throne;
Let the earth rejoice!
Fire goes before Him,
the sea will lift its voice.
Praises echo through the skies
Every creature testifies
Evidence in everything
Creation sings.
Hallelujah, Holy, Holy!
All the earth will praise His glory!
Honor to the perfect King;
Creation sings.

I'll Let You Design
03:23
|

I am bursting with blessings,
Surrounded by butterflies
But when I overorganize I forget
Striving for control,
produce too much, I decompose
And I don’t trust the One who holds every plan
All I see in my flower-garden life is the mudpie in the middle
(So God I pray that) You would bring the Life,
Bring the Light, Bring the lovely moments
You’re the One who shines
You are wise I’ll let You design
I can do nothing - Work overtime, miss out on life
While You just shake Your head and smile - “Come, Abide”
Satan is bluffing - Checklists cannot earn Your love
You are already enough - You are the vine
All I need in my flower-garden life is the Son who cares for me
chorus
None but You defines this life
You’re the sunrise, You’re the prize
Only You can satisfy
Only You complete our lives

Your Fool
03:17
|
|||
I make dumb mistakes, but You love me the same
My words and actions betray, but you cover my shame
All of my attempts to avoid embarrassment take glory back from You
So I’ll be Your fool
When I was small – Nevermind, I do that now
I dodge through life trying never to stand out
Holding my heart back for fear of a fall
Forgetting my call
Revival calls like a shout that shakes the ground
But trials fall like a hailstorm all around
All my attention on little issues
Instead of on You
In the moment, my resolve turns into jello, but
You have called me to be anything but mellow
The One who can wake up the dead, the One who calms the seas
Is living inside me

The blue sky has landed a kiss on the puddle I call a pond
I chase tiny gray fish until all of my breath is gone
The dirt swirls behind my feet and shimmers while I splash
I’ll dry off eventually, but this joy will always last
Beautiful is this world You’ve made
You are great beyond all praise
Dazzling in endless splendor
Little blessings beyond measure
Beautiful is this world You’ve made
Gold grass sways like a wave and tickles my bare knees
I pick wild bouquets and race against the breeze
Hard work awaits inside; Martha’s calling my
But under the cloudless sky, Your love is all I see
How many are Your works, O Lord! In wisdom You made them all
The earth is full of your creatures; You supply all nature
You renew our lives with good things
We are satisfied with good things
