His Word

I am closer to God
With each passing day
My reason in life
Is to follow his way

My breath is his whisper
It's heard through my voice
By sharing his promise
I now have a choice

To love him more dearly
With all of my heart
But if I forget him
His grace will depart

So I'll pass on his wishes
In all that I do
And all of his wisdom
I'll pass onto you

Keeps his words moving
Tell all that you know
And the grace of his kingdom
Will continue to grow

Open Your Heart

A heart that is broken
By pain from the past
Will be healed from the inside
By God's love that lasts

Just open your heart
Let tears overflow
Surrender to God
And let yourself go

Pray for salvation
Lift up your eyes
Look up to the heavens
His love will surprise

A warmth will engulf you
With peace from the Lord
Your life will be changed
Without saying a word

God Knows your heart
He knows every sin
So don't try to hide it
And let him come in

Healing

It's all your fault
Or so I was told
I never questioned it
Because I wasn't that old

It was my fault...
My mother had me when she was sixteen
It was my fault I was molested when I was six...
Or so I was told

Everything was my fault
Or at least that's what I was told
As I look back into my childhood
It was rather cold

But listen to me
As I try to explain
I can no longer carry the burden
Of my childhood pain

For the fault does not lie
On my soul till the end
Because my soul
Is finally on the mend

The fault is with the parents
Who chose not to care
Or have a moment
To listen to my tears

However...

Even with the pain
Of my childhood past
Children are to be loved
For once we were angels from up above
