Shine Your Light

Open hands To freely give      but Lord, what if they take too much? I will provide. I will supply. Open hands To freely receive      but Lord, what if it's too much to carry? I will be your help. I will tell you when to let go of things. Every good gift is from Above.      What a treasure that it often moves through our hands.

  You invite us to the table to come and dine with You We accept Your offer we love to be with You Oh the bread,  Your body broken Oh the wine,  Your blood poured out Oh Jesus, You're the Savior We sing together now You took my sin you took my shame nailed to a cross there they remain You died for us but rose again Now and forever the great I Am Now by Your power and Holy Spirit  I rise to say you're Lord of all Death is defeated You've overcome We'll sing forever Hallelujah  Hallelujah! We sing together now

  we give you our praise but truly everything we have to offer came from you to begin with like a child picking flowers for their parent as a gift-  is it theirs to give? yet it is received with gladness it is an expression of seeing, of honor of love, of  giving to the Giver

Such beauty In the stillness, in waiting There is rest. We've made it too hard Our striving There is beauty  There is rest. Your voice- You're so secure that You don't need to shout or wave Your arms You're so patient. You wait You're speaking-  Even through silence. you don't need only human language to convey Your word ...a torch igniting ...a light illuminating ...a sword piercing Your Word creating life. You draw us in Will we trust you enough To slow down To listen?

  sparrows & lilies we are taken care of, we can rest, we can grow, we can trust. live in the beauty

  there's no battle between dark and light, light chases the dark out every time who lights a fire only to cover it     let the flame grow brighter you say that i am the light of the world a city on a hill for all to see i can't do it without you first shining your light in me so i'll be a lighthouse for those lost at sea a single star to light up the sky, the moon to reflect and illuminate night together we shine so bright     let the flame grow brighter you say that i am the light of the world a city on a hill for all to see i can't do it without you first shining your light in me so i'll be a lighthouse for those lost at sea i cannot be hidden so i will stop trying and be who you made me to be i surrender to your plan for your ways are higher i'll be who you made me to be ...a lighthouse for all to see
