July words

More

More coffee please
Yes, it’s a need
Why? Because at night I can’t sleep
It’s not the nightmares or dreams,
It's real life that stops me

More time, 5 minutes maybe?
I don’t yet have a face people can see
Let me hide for another moment
Soon, soon I’ll be ready

More tears have been spent
How many more days of this lament?
More words have been said
How much longer till they repent?
More lies have been told
My “I’m fine” answer is getting old
More prayers to heaven are sent
And yet, more tears have been spent

Parents are yelling more and more
Siblings fighting more and more
This pain keeps piling more and more
Brokenness surrounds more and more

More sin gives way to more grace
More darkness is space for more light
More brokenness reveals the spiritual fight

His mercy is more
His hope is greater than real life fears
His joy will wipe away every tear
His answers supply for more requests
His peace is more powerful than the war
He is more than enough to heal your scars

His name- Jesus- conquered the dark
The prince of peace wants only your heart
The pain and the fear is great
His hope and love are more.



He knows, He cares, He rules

He knows

When I speak
What I say
How I feel
Who I am
Why I live
Where I go

He cares
When no one else does
What I believe
How I live
Who I love
Why I cry
Where my heart is

He rules
When darkness seems too dark
What a light He shines in our heart
How kind a God that saved me
Who ran far away and fled His grace
Why He chased me is still a mystery
Where I stand now is amazing

So I can expect Him to work
In hearts and lives and through the hurt
Every factor is controlled at every turn
The when, what, how, who, why, and when are known 

If doubt and hurt are plaguing you
Trust that He knows, He cares, He rules
