When God Speaks with Silence
___________
God’s faithfulness speaks loudest in the silence
Don’t mistake quietness for a lack of guidance
He brought you here without saying a word
Don’t mourn because it’s not what you preferred
God doesn’t have to give you an explanation
Just trust that He’s leading you to your destination
Even in the silence, His hand still remains true
Just as He promised, He will be faithful to you
Waiting on God
_______________________
While it’s true that patience is a virtue
That doesn’t mean the wait won’t hurt you
This is the perfect time to persevere
Instead of turning and running in fear
You know God is putting your faith to the test
Will you trust Him while He takes care of the rest?
Remain faithful to Him and endure to the end
For the reward that brings joy you will never comprehend
Pick Up the Sword
________________________
The Word of God is sharper than any double-edged sword
Yet far too often, it lies on your shelf entirely ignored
So in the moment you find yourself facing temptation
You struggle immensely to get out of the situation
The desire to overcome is overcome by the desire to sin
Keeping you away from the Word and the truth within
So you keep falling and falling, over and over again
If you want to be free, pick up the sword and use it to conquer your sin
What Faith is All About
______________________________
Not a day goes by without this thought
A pursuit worth the war to be fought
Echoing silence from the dream pursued
Even though in the distance it can be viewed
A matter of time, but you know not when
Let this not discourage you from within
Take the next step and do not doubt
Pursue your dream and learn what faith is all about
The Shadow in the Distance
_______________________________
A sight beheld from the perspective on high
Seen uninhibited with the naked eye
Even through the darkness that did appear
There remains nothing left for me to fear
God’s faithfulness still shines just as bright
Casting the shadow even in the night
Showing my future be written by His hand
And nothing can change what the Lord did command
Just Let Go
____________________________
The past that holds you down in despair
Always on your mind in consistent warfare
Even though you hear that forgiveness reigns true
The guilt of that sin still finds its way to you
When Christ hung on that cross, He bore all of your guilt
And forgave every trespass by the precious blood He spilt
Therefore the guilt you bear has already been atoned for
Because of Christ, you do not have to hold on to that guilt anymore
The Struggle to Surrender
_______________________________
If I knew what You knew, I’d ask for what you have given
Not asking for some other fantasy to live in
Though I find it hard sometimes to be content
Being ungrateful is never my intent
At least I know this path for me is written
I don’t have to worry about where this or that will fit in
It really is a complete surrender to Your will
I wish my flesh wouldn’t struggle to trust You still
