A New Song

If there was a long road before me,

If the light outside was turning into gray,

If the years ahead were numbered

By the times I’d fall and break,

It would be okay.


There’s a reason for this tower

There’s a reason for this pain

If I had the strength to scale this wall

My hope would be in vain,

Because in the midst of all these towers and walls

I hear Your voice, you say,

It will be okay.


I’ve got you, my darling,

I’ve got you, don’t you see?

I’ll use my hand to guide you

To the place you need to be,

So don’t lose hope, beloved,

I’m teaching you belief…

For in the end I’m going to set you free.


If the morning turns to darkness, don’t be anxious.

If the night consumes the hours, do not fear.

If the path your on is narrowed

To a maze that seems unclear,

It’s going to be okay.


Because there’s a reason for your weakness

So my strength will give you wings

There’s a reason that you have no voice

So I can give you words to sing

And in the midst of this, grounded silence

I hear Your voice, you say,

It will be okay.


I’ve got you, my darling,

I’ve got you, don’t you see?

I’ll use my hand to guide you

To the place you need to be,

So don’t lose hope, beloved,

I’m teaching you belief…

For in the end I’m going to set you free.

Confinement

Hosea 11:4

"I led [her] with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to [her] as one who eases the yoke on [her] jaw, and I bent down to [her] and fed [her]."

I needed this verse, even though I don't completely understand it. But it helps.

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for your welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

I will sing praise,
I will sing praise,
No weapon formed against me shall remain.
I will rejoice,
I will declare,
God is my victory and He is here.

All of my life,
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing,
I have a reason to worship.

And this is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
This seed I receive, I will sow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll take whatever You're doing
Inside of me,
When it feels like chaos,
Somehow there's peace...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Give me a Revelation,
Show me what to do,
Cause I've been trying to find my way
And haven't got a clue.
Tell me should I stay here,
Or do I need to move?
Give me a Revelation,
I've got nothing without You,
I've got nothing without You.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

God I'm crying out tonight,
Because I've given You my life,
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind,
So once more,
Here's my life.

Even when the tears are falling
When I find I fear the calling
You remind me,
Words You've spoken over my life
Promises, I've yet to see them come
For me...
