The Wilderness

Looking to the hills like they’ll burst into flames
Writing off the future like it’s already blank
Nothing gets through here
Nothing is true here
Sinking into ruts that were already there
Feeding into fears that these days have laid bare
This season feels endless
When will you end this?
You strike a match against the dark
Illuminate what’s in my heart
I’m frozen in place beneath their weight
You’re cutting out the noise but I’m still half-deaf
Strip away distractions and I’m scared of what’s left
I’m kind of exposed here
But you’re drawing me closer
You lead me through the wilderness to see who I am
Pulling out the carpet from under my plans
I only know how to earn it myself
You say I can live off the words from your mouth
You strike a match against the dark
Illuminate what’s in my heart
I’m frozen in place beneath their weight
I’m frozen in place
Would you give me the strength to fall on your grace
On this journey of faith
Would you train my eyes to seek your face
You strike a match against the dark
Illuminate what’s in my heart
I’m finding my place
I’m seeking your voice in the wilderness
You say fall on my grace
I can’t do it myself but I’m learning through faith
I will see your face in the wilderness

Back to Truth

Spirit of power, spirit of truth
Would you take us
Out from the darkness that we cling to,
Would you change us?
Would you break our hearts for you?
We are re-created in you
You are turning lives back to truth
Children of mercy, objects of grace
You entrust us
Bearing your witness, holding your name
Will you use us?
Would you send us out for you?
We are re-created in you
You are turning lives back to truth
You reach us in the dark
I’m living on empty
You teach us who we are
We’re finding ourselves in you
Will you steal our hearts for you?
Can a broken life be new?
We are re-created in you
You are turning lives back to truth
You reach us in the dark
I’m living on empty
You teach us who we are
We’re finding ourselves in you

Nothing Is Hidden

My mind is a labyrinth of hidden motives
And my heart has built up many walls
But you, you see through all things
All your work sings it back to you
They call out nothing is hidden, all is forgiven
Your love breaks down the walls that confine us
This earth is a mirror shining back your glory
And I long to wipe the dust away
But you, you see through all things
Where could we run to ever leave your love behind?
We call out nothing is hidden, all is forgiven
Your love breaks down the walls that confine us
I’ve been waiting all my life to step into the light
And not be scared of what it shows
Your love illuminates my heart, it lays down all my cards
And wipes away the guilt and shame
And I’ve been waiting all my life to finally see a light
Brighter than the things I hide
Your love makes us free
We call out nothing is hidden, all is forgiven
Your love breaks down the walls that confine us

Searching For Your Blog

I never found your blog
The hidden pieces of your heart
On New Year’s Eve I said hello
You called to tell me it was over
And if I regret one thing, it's just for staying on the surface
And if I learned one thing, it's that everyone has secrets
You closed the door but cracked a window
And I swear that I saw
As far as the light filtered through
Your heart will always be a secret
But I had a window view
And now I don’t know what to do
I never found your blog
I heard you wrote about our first date
On the bench outside the bar
Around the fire where you sat in water
And if I regret one thing, it’s for thinking everything’s a sign
And if I learned one thing, it’s that coincidences can make us blind
You closed the door but cracked a window
And I swear that I saw
As far as the light filtered through
Your heart will always be a secret
But I had a window view
And now I don’t know what to do
You’re in my phone as just a first name
It seemed to formal to add your last
The slice of your life that I saw
Was very brief but I want to believe
That it meant something to you
Now your number’s in my phone and my Christmas card is somewhere in your home
I often wonder if you threw it out
I often wonder if its still in your house
You closed the door but cracked a window
And I swear that I saw
As far as the light filtered through
Your heart will always be a secret
But I had a window view
And now I don’t know what to do
