So Here I Am

Verse 1
This world is slipping from my feet
And I feel as if in defeat
All the plans I've made for my life
Are slipping from my sight
I'm struggling to keep a hold
Then suddenly I am told
That Christ is in control
I have to let go...

Bridge
I'm praying to You
Cause You will get me through
I'm on my knees
Offering all of me

Chorus
So here I am
Pledging my heart to Your plan
Here I am
Trusting in You I stand
Because no power below or above
Can change Your plan of love
So here I am

Verse 2
I've held on to this dream so long
I can't bear to think of it gone
Then it gently waves goodbye
And I stand in these tears I cry
Then I hear a whisper in my ear
Telling me there's nothing to fear
Christ knows what's best for me
So I let go...to what I can't see

Goodbye

How can I make myself say goodbye?
How can I ignore these tears I cry?
I won’t forget the times I smiled.
I know it’s all been so worthwhile.

I know there is a reason.
I know this is a season.
Sometimes I don’t understand.
Sometimes I forget you have a plan.

But why does it have to be right now?
I know it will work out, but how?
These tears I cry are a plea.
Please just stop this misery.

I’ve seen what God has done.
I’ve seen in your eyes his Son.
He’s been working all along.
He’s telling you, you will be strong.

So now as I say goodbye,
I’m aware of all these tears I cry.
So thank you for the friend you’ve been.
You’ll be my brother ‘till the end.

When I Feel So Alone

There are times when I feel so alone
There are times I feel so far from Home
There are times when I feel I have not grown
There are times when I feel so far from Your throne

Then Your love reassures me
That Your grace is all I need

I give You my heart, my feelings my longings
I give You my thoughts and my cares
I give You the dreams I've been holding
I know You hear my secret prayers
I know You'll answer each one as You will
I know You think of my best with Your asnwers
Please give me a heart that loves Your will

When I think no one hears me
When I think there's nothing to see
When I think that love cannot be
When I can't remember Your faithful decree

Emmanuelle; God with us

Hey ya'll...I wrote this a little after Emma went off to the hospital on Monday...please pray for her, and I hope you all like it! It's funny, cuz her name is Emmanuelle, which means 'God with us', and when it all happened, I know we all needed to know that God is with us.


Just yesterday I saw, a little girl with her doll.
She smiled when she saw me, happy as could be.
She looked like a little angel, safe from any danger.
I wished she could stay that way all day.

Then she got run over by a van, not even being able to stand.
She cried out in pain, hoping that daddy came.
She wanted to get through it, but there was more to it.
She went off hoping to get well, but only God could tell.

I lift her up to you, help her make it through.
I know that her life is in your hands.
You have already worked out her plans.
Help her to come back one day. Help me see her play.

I don’t understand, but you have a plan.
I felt so alone, but I know now that I’ve grown.
I need you to just hold me, make me safe as can be.
I pray that it won’t take to long, that she’s not away to long.

She is my friend, she is my sister!
I want to hold her, I want to kiss her!
She needs to come home, don’t let her feel all alone.
Let her know that you care, when you call her, you’ll be there.

I Give You My Heart

You came to seek and save the lost
You came to die upon that cross
You overcame all
So we could hear Your call
You suffered sin sorrow and pain
So Your righteousness we could claim

So I give You my heart
Because You were broken apart
Thank You Jesus son of God
I am satisfied with Your gift of love
You were victorious
Your reign is glorious
And I will praise You forever
My risen Savior

You are touched by my pain
Because You experienced it in every way
Why You did it is a mystery
Why You died upon that tree
You were crushed You were beaten
So that by the Father I could be seated
