Warrior Children

Wrote on July 7, 07

Your heart is deeper than the ocean
And wider than the big blue sky
Your mercy abounds in great measure
Your justice is fair
Your throbbing heart shakes the heavens
It’s pulsing thunders over the earth
Exploding with passion it shakes
It quakes and it desires
Depth of love
Depth of grace
Soothing fears
Washing tears
Purity lingers within every corner
You are a God of absolutes
Absolute truth
Absolute justice
Absolute love
Absolute grace
Absolute redemption
And you are seeking a people
A people who will revel in the beauty of your heart
Who would hold your banner high
And not be ashamed
Who would raise their voices in worship
And not be ashamed
Who would raise their voices in worship
Who would give their lives as praise
Poured out on your love alter
A resurrected warrior people
Whose swords glisten under the Son
Whose eyes demand justice
As they stand firm
As they rout out their enemies
Tearing down and building up strongholds
They scream their battle cry
And the ungodly fear and respect them
They scream their warrior song
And the Almighty protects them
They are warriors drenched in cleansing blood.
And their heart beats in time with the Father’s
Their blood pulses, pushes,
Bursts forth within their veins
Duplicating the Fathers passion
They are one with him
His feet through the nations
His purposed hands through out the earth
They hear his softest whisper
They fear his warrior shout
With reverent fear they enter battle
His authority backs them up
They are his own
Warrior children
Of a Warrior God.

Tidal Wave

Your love is a great ocean
An ocean reaching onto forever
As far as the east is from the west
Your love rages and crashes
Yes, Your love rages intensely

Your love rages for me
Your jealousy swells all around me
Your frustrated screams thunder in my ears
If I’m so desperate for You
If I so desire You,
Then why do I ignore You?
Why are my ears so deaf to Your screams?

You clamp Your hands over Your ears
You squeeze Your eyes shut
As my lukewarm worship burns within You
It races like fire through Your blood
Pulsing pain within Your heart
Lightening pulses within You,
Striking me in my indifference

Your tears plunge
Deep into the ocean of Your love
Tossing me, swallowing me
Within the stormy seas
You want to consume me
Desperately You crave to drown me in Your love
I cry out in agony
I spit my worship in Your face
Struggling, fighting,
Keeping my head above the waters

O’ I know I need to surrender
To sink, to dive
Deeper and deeper
Till I’m consumed by your love.

O’ I know, I know,
I need to give in, to give up
To lose control
But sometimes the fear is so great
Sometimes the fear is so huge
That I need your tidal wave to take me under.

Take me under, take me under
Crash over me
Wash over me
Drown me in your tidal wave

Push me deep into the ocean of your love
I want to breathe it in
To swallow your love
Till I’m drenched in your adoration
Completely one with you

Caught in the flood of Your mercy
Washed in the blood of Your grace
I am overwhelmed by You
Tossed by Your tidal wave
Thrown by waves of Your love
I cry out, ‘Cause I’m desperate.
I’m desperate for Your love.

Under Him

I long to dwell under his wings
Under his authority
Under his blessings
Under the glorious wash of his love
I want to sway and dance beneath his gaze
I want to clasp my hands behind his neck
To gaze into his eyes
O’ to fall under the crashing of his mercy.
To feel his love overwhelming me.
His arms lifting me up
Twirling round and round
His laughter falling all around

I long to reside under his watchful eyes
Under his counsel
Under his guidance
Under his awesome wisdom
I want to speak with his approval
I want to walk carefully in his footprints
To step where he has stepped, to walk as he walked
O’ to live out a life as rich as his
To dedicate my all to God
Walking justly, loving mercy
Total and passionate abandon to you
Swells of your compassion everywhere

I long to live under the power of your blood
Under your healing
Under your favour
Under the wash of your scarlet rain
I want to live with power and authority
I want to speak as one redeemed
To live a life that’s unashamed
O’ to live a life marked by mercy and grace
To reside in your power
Acting on behalf of my righteous Lord
To know that love has purchased me
Rejoicing as a desperate prisoner set free.

May I?

May I sit and talk with you?
May I listen as you share,
Good times, bad times and tears?

May I hold your hand?
May I dance with you
And enjoy the sound of your laughter?

May I speak encouraging words to you?
May I show you that I love you
Through the blood, the pain and the scars?

May I whisper secrets in your ears?
May I entrust to you my heart
So you can bring honour to my name?

May I walk with you awhile?
May I join you in your journey
And advise you where to go?

May I anoint your head with oil?
May I pronounce my blessings over you
And make my favour for you known?

May I lavish my delight upon you?
May I call you my beloved
And hold you in high regards?

May I love you?
May I get to know you?
May I spend time with you?
Don’t you know I desire you?

Harvesters Arise!

Arise Harvesters! Arise O’ Harvesters, Arise!
Arise and answer the cry of your Lord
Arise and touch the heart of your Lord
Arise and grasp his desperation, his desire

The fields are ripe for harvest
Fruits are falling hard and heavy
Deep hunger is mounting
Desperate cries are rising

A table lays waiting
The table is overflowing
Food is falling from the table
Living water is overflowing
Abundance is waiting

The hungry world is crying out
The hungry world is screaming
Their souls know only poverty
Their souls know only want

Where are the harvesters?
They are hungry
The table is overflowing
Feed them

Where are the harvesters?
They are thirsty
Living water is overflowing
Satisfy them

Why have the harvesters abandoned their work?
Why have they dropped their sickles?
Why have they left their fields?
Why do they lay, in silent slumber,
Ignoring the cries of the hungry?

A great harvest is upon them
Greater than they can bear
An overflow of abundance is waiting
The Lord of the Harvest is calling for harvesters

Arise Harvesters! Arise O’ Harvesters, Arise!
Arise and answer the cry of your Lord
Arise and touch the heart of your Lord
Arise and grasp his desperation, his desire

Gather his people to him
Gather his children to him
Raise his Beloved, raise his Church
Raise her so she may raise her voice to bless Him.
To worship Him and to release His glory,
To unleash His beauty
And to take back his dominion

Arise Harvesters! Arise O’ Harvesters, Arise!
Arise and answer the cry of your Lord
Arise and touch the heart of your Lord
Arise and grasp his desperation, his desire

Worthy is the Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Holy is the Lamb that was slain
