Are You There?
Are You there?
I can't see You
But if I close my eyes
And look real hard
I may catch a faint glimmer
Of Your presence here
Are You there?
I can't feel You
But if I reach out my hand
And grasp for Your robe
Perhaps You will steady me
Before I fall
Are You there?
I can't hear You
But if I listen closely
And strain for Your voice
Maybe Your whisper will stand out
Against the confusion
Are You there?
If I searched would I find
You by my side or
Far away
Or outside the walls I've made?
Am I missing Your signs
And overlooking the clear-cut lines?
While all along
You are carrying me
In Your arms
And holding me close
As I question if You are there

Through The Eyes Of A Blind Child
The Lord gives us all that we need.
But if you're a blind child how can you see?
Taking for granted what's already there;
But through the eyes of a blind child you get something rare.
Try to explain the color of blue
And to them it is something they never knew.
Or try and describe a sunset in July;
But they don't even know the color of sky.
We get mixed up in all of our strife,
And forget to thank GOD for just giving us life.
So try to look through the eyes of a blind child and then you might see
The GOD given beauty in both you and me.

I Surrender All
Everything that I have
Lord, everything that I am is Yours
I hold back nothing
All that I am, all is for you
Not in my own strength
But Lord in Your strength
In Your power, in Your ability
I am just a tool
Clay in the Potter's hand
Lord, shape me and make me into
Something of use
Something of honor
I surrender to Your will
I surrender to Your ways
I am Your servant
I am Your child
By Your grace I am something
And nothing without
All that I am
All that I have
Lord, my whole being is Yours
I surrender all
